QUESTIONS FOR NURSE EXAM

ENDROCRINE SYSTEM

 
Question No.1: The nurse is caring for a client with myxedema. Which of the following would indicate to the nurse that the client’s condition is deteriorating?
A. An increase in pulse rate and respirations
B. Cold skin and episodes of chills
C. Client complaints of palpitations
D. Difficulty in arousing the client for medications

Answer:  D. Difficulty in arousing the client for medications

The most life-threatening complication for the client with myxedema is myxedema coma. This client already has decreased metabolism and as the condition worsens, cardiac, respiratory, and neurological systems slow down even more. The client then goes into a coma and may die from circulatory and respiratory collapse. If a client with myxedema becomes unable to be aroused, the client may be progressing into a coma.
In myxedema the client experiences a decrease in pulse rate and respirations, has cold skin, and often has complaints of being chilled due to the decreased metabolic rate. Clients with increased metabolism complain of palpitations.


2. Question: When preparing a client to collect a sputum specimen, it would be essential for the nurse to explain which of the following aspects of the procedure?
A. Breathe deeply followed by coughing up sputum
B. Avoid mouth care prior to collecting the specimen
C. Collect the specimen before bedtime
D. Restrict fluids prior to expectorating sputum

Answer: A. Breathe deeply followed by coughing up sputum

Breathing deeply should be followed by coughing up sputum in the collection process of a sputum specimen. Mouth care should be offered prior to collecting a sputum specimen.
The specimen should be collected in the morning and fluids encouraged before coughing up the specimen.

3. A client is brought to the emergency room with a third-degree heart block after experiencing an acute anterior myocardial infarction. Which of the following interventions is the priority on an emergency basis?
A.Cardioversion
B. Administer lidocaine
C. Temporary pacemaker
D. Administer atropine

Answer: C. Temporary pacemaker

A third-degree heart block is a lethal rhythm. It is the complete blockage of the atrial impulses into the ventricles. The block may be at the A-V node,
bundle of His, or bundle branches, resulting in the atria and ventricles beating independently of each other. The atrial rate is usually normal while the ventricular rate is very slow and below 55 beats per minute. The causes may be an anterior myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, surgery, aging, or drug toxicity such as digoxin, procaoinamide (Procanbid), or verapamil (Calan).

4. Musculoskeletal/Integumentary Disorders (Adult) related Nursing Question
Question: The nurse assesses which of the following clinical manifestations in a client with osteomyelitis?
Select which of the following not apply that apply:
A. Night sweats

A. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of fluid per day
B. Void at least five times per day
C. Take herbal supplements
D. Stop smoking

Answer: D. Stop smoking

 Persons at greatest risk for bladder cancer are Caucasian men over 50 years of age who have had occupational exposures to dyes, rubber, and leather industries, and who smoke. Since age, race, and occupation are not alterable, the best alternative is to stop smoking. Clients should be provided with smoking-cessation information and support to reduce their risk of several cancers and other health problems.
