Question 1 1 / 1 pts
The nurse clarifies that the master pacemaker of the heart is the:
bundle of His.
atrioventricular (AV) node.
left ventricle.
sinoatrial (SA) node.
The SA node is the master pacemaker of the heart.
Question 2 1 / 1 pts
The patient has been hospitalized for hypertensive episodes
three times in the last months. While preparing the discharge
teaching plan, the nurse assesses that he does not comply with
his medication regimen. The nurse’s immediate course of action
would be to:
have a serious talk with him and his family about
compliance.
reteach him about his medications.
collect more information to identify his reasons for
noncompliance.
arrange for home visits after discharge.
Nursing interventions include measures to prevent disease
progression and complications. Reteaching about
medication will not identify the cause of noncompliance.
Question 3 1 / 1 pts
The nurse finds a client tensing while lying in bed staring at the
cardiac monitor. The client states, "There sure are a lot of wires
around there. I sure hope we don't get hit by lightning!" Which is
the nurse's best response?
“Yes the equipment is a little scary. Can we talk about
how the cardiac monitor works?”
“Would you like a mild sedative to help you relax?”
“I know about your concerns. Your family can stay with
you every night if you want to.”
“Oh don’t worry, the weather is supposed to be sunny
and clear today.”
Question 4 1 / 1 pts
A nurse is collecting data on a child with a diagnosis of rheumatic
fever. Which of the following questions would the nurse initially
ask the mother of the child?
“Has the child had any diarrhea?”
“Has the child been vomiting?”
“Does the child complain of chest pain?”
“Has the child complained of a sore throat within the past
few weeks or months?”
Rationale: Rheumatic fever characteristically presents 2
to 6 weeks following an untreated or partially treated group
A ß-hemolytic streptococcal infection of the upper
respiratory tract. Initially, the nurse determines whether
any family members have had a sore throat or
unexplained fever within the past 2 months. Although
options 1, 2, and 3 may be asked during data collection,
they would not be the initial concerns for a child with
rheumatic fever.
Test-Taking Strategy: Eliminate options 1 and 2 first
because they are comparable or alike and both relate to
the gastrointestinal system. From the remaining options,
recalling that rheumatic fever characteristically presents 2
to 6 weeks following an untreated or partially treated group
A ß-hemolytic streptococcal infection of the upper
respiratory tract will direct you to option 4. If you had
difficulty with this question, review the etiology related to
rheumatic fever. [Show Less]
