2. X-ray of the lungs
A client reports persistent cough. The nurse suspects the client may have developed tuberculosis (TB). Which diagnostic test does the nurse expect the primary health-care provider to prescribe to confirm this condition?
1. Leukocytosis
The nurse is reviewing the complete blood count of a client who presents with fever. The white blood cell count of the client is 15,000 cells/mL. Which condition has the client developed?
2. Bacterial pneumonia
A client reports fever and shortness of breath and is diagnosed with pneumonia. A complete blood count with differential shows a white blood count of 16,000 cells/mL with 90% neutrophils, 2% eosinophils, and 1% basophils. Which specific condition has the client developed?
1. Administer aspirin to reduce fever.
While assessing the vital signs of an adult client, the nurse records a blood pressure of 130/85 mm Hg and body temperature as 103°F. The client’s complete blood count value indicates the presence of an acute infection. Which is the best nursing intervention for the nurse to implement?
4. Administer the prescribed antibiotic therapy.
A toddler is brought to the hospital with fever. Reports reveal the client has developed an acute infection. Which nursing intervention does the nurse implement for the client?
1. Septicemia
A client develops an infection after dental implant surgery. Which condition is the client likely to develop if the infection is left untreated?
2. Implement a schedule for repositioning
An older adult client is receiving care for a stage IV pressure injury. The client is below normal weight, has an oxygen saturation of 90%, and has a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which nursing intervention does the nurse include in the client’s plan of care?
1. The predominance of neutrophils
The nurse recognizes which physiologic manifestation of acute inflammation?
2. Inflammation
The nurse is performing a prescribed dressing change on an abdominal incision that is 2 days postoperative. The nurse notices the incision is dry, well approximated, and pink in color. A slight warmth is detected when the incision is touched. Which phase of wound healing does the nurse recognize?
1. “I will need dietary supplements for healing.”
A registered nurse is teaching a client about the effects of nutrition on wound healing. Which statement made by the client indicates the need for further teaching?
1. “The injected corticosteroid delays the healing process.”
