47. The nurse is precepting a newly-hired nurse who is caring for a client receiving a prescribed continuous nasogastric feeding.  The nurse should intervene immediately if the newly-hired nurse

 

(a)   instills 30cc of normal saline into the feeding tube while auscultating  over   

      the stomach for bowel sounds

     (b) checks the pH of the 60ml gastric aspirate removed from the feeding tube

     (c) maintains the client with the head of the bed elevated at 45 degrees

     (d) hangs four hours worth of prescribed feeding formula in an open delivery   

          system

48. The nurse is observing a staff member caring for clients.  It would require immediate intervention if the nurse observes the staff member

 (a) placing a client who had an above-the-knee amputation (AKA) 24 hours

      ago in a prone position

 (b) keeping the head of the bed elevated for the client who had an supratentorial

      craniotomy 12 hours ago

(c) giving orange juice to a client who has a clear liquid diet prescribed

(d) removing all liquids from the tray before giving the tray to a client who has        

     dumping syndrome    

 

 

48. C. Orange juice is not permitted on a clear liquid diet. Placing a client in prone position after above the knee amputation is done to prevent contractures; following supratentorial surgery the head of the bed is elevated 30 degrees to promote venous outflow. Removing all liquids is not necessary for clients experiencing Dumping Syndrome. The client should be taught to avoid drinking with meals. Safe Effective Care Environment; Safety and Infection Control

 

49. The primary health care provider has prescribed ampicillin (Omnipen) 0.5 GM PO Q6H to a 15 month old toddler who weighs 22 pounds. The drug available is ampicillin suspension 250 mg/5 ml. The recommended dosage is 50 mg/kg/day every 6 to 8 hours. The nurse should

 

(a) call the primary health care provider to report that the prescription exceeds   

      the recommended dosage

(b) determine if the toddler has previously had a penicillin or a cephalosporin 

     prescribed

(c) give the toddler the ampicillin mixed with applesauce

(d) wait until the result of the throat culture obtained one hour ago is reported

 

49. B. Assessing whether or not the child took these medications in the past will help to determine if an allergic reaction occurred; the recommended pediatric dose for ampicillin (Omnipen) is 50mg/kg/day; mixing the medication with apple sauce will help to make it palatable to the child; it is not necessary to wait for throat culture result, however the nurse should obtain the culture before giving the first dose of antibiotic.
