Question

The nurse is caring for a client who had a renal biopsy. For which complication should the nurse monitor the client during the first 24 hours after the procedure?

Answer 1

Correct Answers:

Bleeding

Rationale :

🩸The most serious complication within the first 24 hours after a renal biopsy is bleeding, because the kidneys are highly vascular organs.

⚠️Signs of bleeding include flank pain, gross hematuria, hypotension, and tachycardia, which can lead to shock if not identified early.

🧩Infection, obstruction, and polyuria are possible complications later, but bleeding is the priority during the initial 24 hours.

📋Therefore, the nurse must monitor closely for hematuria, changes in vital signs, and flank pain to ensure early detection and intervention.

📌Core message

The nurse’s priority after a renal biopsy is to monitor for bleeding within the first 24 hours.

Answer 2

Correct Answers:

Democratic

Rationale :

👥A democratic leadership style involves seeking input from staff members before making decisions.

🧠This promotes team collaboration, shared responsibility, and higher staff satisfaction, while the leader maintains final decision-making authority.

🛑Autocratic leadership excludes staff from decision-making, laissez-faire provides no guidance, and coaching focuses more on individual growth rather than shared input.

📋Thus, the described behavior best aligns with democratic leadership.

📌Core message

The manager shows democratic leadership by involving staff input in decision-making.

Answer 3

Correct Answers:

Integrity vs despair

Rationale :

👵According to Erikson’s stages, adults age 65 and older face the psychosocial task of integrity vs despair.

🌱This stage focuses on reflecting back on one’s life, either with a sense of accomplishment (integrity) or regret (despair).

🧩Earlier stages like initiative vs guilt, intimacy vs isolation, and trust vs mistrust occur in younger age groups.

📋Therefore, the correct developmental task for older adults is integrity vs despair.

📌Core message

Adults 65+ years are in Erikson’s stage of integrity vs despair.

Answer 4

Correct Answers:

Teach the client to take the full course of prescribed antibiotics

Rationale :

🦠The client’s symptoms indicate a pelvic infection, and the priority is to prevent complications such as sepsis or infertility.

💊Teaching the client to complete the antibiotic course ensures eradication of the infection and reduces resistance.

🛑Scheduling a Pap smear, increasing fluids, or abstaining from sex are supportive but not the highest priority intervention.

📋Thus, completing prescribed antibiotics is the priority action.

📌Core message

The nurse should stress the importance of finishing antibiotics to prevent complications of pelvic infection.

Answer 5

Correct Answers:

Secretion of erythropoietin by the diseased kidney is reduced or non-existent.

Rationale :

🩸Anemia in chronic kidney disease occurs because erythropoietin production decreases, leading to reduced red blood cell formation.

🛑It is not caused by hypertension, urine blood loss, or acidosis as the main mechanism.

🧩This explains why patients with renal failure often require erythropoietin injections.

📋Thus, impaired secretion of erythropoietin is the best explanation for anemia.

📌Core message

In renal failure, anemia is due to reduced erythropoietin secretion.

Answer 6

Correct Answers:

Hydrocolioid dressing can be applied to the sacrum

Rationale :

🩹A hydrocolloid dressing protects the skin, maintains moisture, and promotes healing of early pressure injuries such as blanchable redness.

🛑Keeping the client prone or seated for long periods increases risk of injury.

📉Cleansing only every 24 hours is not adequate prevention.

📋Applying a protective dressing helps stop progression of skin breakdown.

📌Core message

Hydrocolloid dressings protect against worsening of early pressure injuries.

Answer 7

Correct Answers:

Generativity versus Stagnation

Rationale :

🧩In middle adulthood, Erikson’s task is generativity vs stagnation, which involves contributing to society or feeling unproductive.

🚗Buying a sports car and quitting a job reflect dissatisfaction and stagnation, signaling a struggle within this developmental stage.

🛑Identity vs role confusion, initiative vs guilt, and industry vs inferiority occur in earlier life stages.

📋Thus, the scenario demonstrates generativity vs stagnation.

📌Core message

The middle-aged client is struggling with generativity vs stagnation.

Answer 8

Correct Answers:

Balneotherapy is appropriate for clients with compromised skin integrity

Rationale :

🛁Balneotherapy involves therapeutic baths that soothe and heal irritated or damaged skin.

🧩It is especially beneficial for clients with eczema, psoriasis, or other skin conditions.

🛑Submersion for hours, cold water, or constrictive clothing are incorrect and unsafe practices.

📋Thus, balneotherapy is appropriate for clients with compromised skin integrity.

📌Core message

Balneotherapy is indicated for skin conditions with compromised integrity.

Answer 9

Correct Answers:

Debridement

Rationale :

🧩The infected ulcer with dead tissue requires debridement to remove necrotic tissue and allow healing.

🩺Other options such as biopsy, toe amputation, or dry gauze do not address the need for necrotic tissue removal.

⚠️Debridement is the standard intervention for infected pressure ulcers with necrosis.

📋Thus, debridement is the correct procedure.

📌Core message

Debridement removes dead tissue and promotes healing of infected ulcers.

Answer 10

Correct Answers:

IVF involves bringing ova and sperm together outside the bodies

Rationale :

🧬In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the process of combining eggs and sperm in a laboratory setting, with later transfer of the embryo into the uterus.

🛑It is not inexpensive, and it does not prevent sperm from reaching an egg.

📋Intrauterine insemination (IUI), not IVF, involves placing semen directly into the uterus.

✅Therefore, IVF is correctly described as fertilization outside the body.

📌Core message

IVF means combining sperm and egg outside the body before embryo transfer.
