Question

A nurse at a community clinic is caring for a dent.

Answer 1

Correct Answers

Blank 1 Correct Option: hemolytic uremic syndrome
Blank 2 Correct Option: Escherichia coli infection

Rationale :

💎 The toddler’s bloody diarrhea following ingestion of undercooked hamburger strongly suggests infection with Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (E. coli O157:H7).

💎 A major complication of this infection is Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), characterized by hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure.

💎 HUS primarily affects young children and develops days after the onset of bloody diarrhea.

💎 The nurse should closely monitor urine output, pallor, edema, and signs of renal impairment (elevated BUN and creatinine).

💎 Early recognition and supportive management (hydration, monitoring labs, avoiding antibiotics and antidiarrheals) are critical to prevent kidney failure.

Answer 2

Correct Answers:

Client 4
Client 6

Rationale :

💎 Client 4 — Severe head and cervical spine injury The client is unconscious with fixed pupils and later exhibits decorticate posturing and irregular, shallow respirations, all of which indicate increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and brainstem involvement.

💎These are life-threatening neurologic and respiratory findings requiring immediate stabilization of airway and cervical spine.

💎Priority actions: Maintain airway, provide oxygen, prepare for possible intubation, and immobilize cervical spine.

💎This client is a Red Tag (Immediate) priority under disaster triage principles.

💎 Client 6 — Smoke inhalation injury

💎Initially stable, but now has diminished breath sounds, intercostal retractions, tripod position, and anxiety, showing impending airway obstruction from inhalation injury or edema.

💎Rapid deterioration of oxygenation and ventilation makes this client a critical airway emergency.

💎Priority actions: Secure airway, administer high-flow oxygen, prepare for intubation before respiratory failure occurs.

Also classified as Red Tag (Immediate).

💎Client 2: Pain and mild hypotension from burns (Yellow Tag – Delayed).

💎Client 1: Minor laceration (Green Tag – Minimal).

💎Client 3: Stable head contusion, alert (Green Tag – Minimal).

💎Client 5: Open fracture with stable circulation (Yellow Tag – Delayed).

Answer 3

Correct Answers:

The client journals about the experience of dying.

Rationale :

💎 Writing can reduce anxiety and fear associated with terminal illness.

💎 This action shows the client is addressing their reality rather than avoiding it.

💎 It supports emotional healing and psychological preparation for end-of-life.

Answer 6

Correct Answers:

Provide a smoking cessation class.

Rationale :

💎 Secondary prevention involves actions that identify and treat early signs of illness or risk behaviors.

💎 Smoking cessation helps prevent progression of early lung or heart disease.

💎 It is an intervention after risk exposure, not just prevention.

💎 It decreases morbidity and mortality from chronic illnesses.

💎 This is an example of behavioral modification for disease control.

Answer 8

Correct Answers:

💎 Supports physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

💎 Involves interdisciplinary collaboration for holistic care.

💎 Enhances dignity and autonomy for patients and families.

Answer 9

Correct Answers:

“Focus on the finger I am holding up while I cover one eye, and then the other.”

Rationale :

💎 This describes the cover test, used to assess ocular alignment and strabismus.

💎 The nurse observes eye movement of the uncovered eye as the other is covered.

💎 If the uncovered eye moves, deviation or misalignment exists.

💎 Tests binocular vision and muscle coordination.

💎 Essential for early detection of lazy eye (amblyopia) in children.

Answer 10

Correct Answers:

One of the child's parents appears frightened of the other parent.
Neither of the child's parents are financially stable.
One of the child's parents has d history of alcohol use disorder.

Rationale :

💎 A parent showing fear toward their partner suggests domestic violence, which increases the risk for child abuse in the household.

💎 Financial instability is a major social stressor that can contribute to neglect or physical abuse.

💎 A parental history of substance or alcohol use disorder correlates with impaired judgment and poor coping, raising the likelihood of child maltreatment.

💎 Multiple fractures in various stages of healing may be indicative of repeated trauma and warrant investigation.

💎 The nurse should report suspected abuse according to mandatory reporting laws.
