Basic preventive measures include early ambulation, leg<br>elevation, active leg exercises, elastic stockings, and intermittent pneumatic calf<br>compression. Keeping the client well hydrated is essential because dehydration<br>predisposes to clotting. A pillow under the knees may cause venous stasis. Heat<br>would not be applied without a primary health care provider&#8217;s prescription.<br>The nurse is caring for a teenage client admitted to the hospital with a suspected<br>diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Which laboratory result should the nurse expect to<br>note if the client does have appendicitis?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leukopenia with a shift to the left<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leukocytosis with a shift to the left<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leukopenia with a shift to the right<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leukocytosis with a shift to the right &#8211; \u2026.ANSWER\u2026Leukocytosis with a shift to<br>the left<br>RATIONALE: Laboratory findings do not establish the diagnosis of appendicitis, but<br>there is often an elevation of the white blood cell count (leukocytosis) with a shift to<br>the left (an increased number of immature white blood cells). Options 1, 3, and 4 are<br>incorrect because they are not associated findings in acute appendicitis.<br>A home care nurse is visiting a client to provide follow-up evaluation and care of a<br>leg ulcer. On removing the dressing from the leg ulcer, the nurse notes that the ulcer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>is pale and deep and that the surrounding tissue is cool to the touch. The nurse<br>would document that these findings identify which type of ulcer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A stage 1 ulcer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A vascular ulcer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An arterial ulcer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A venous stasis ulcer &#8211; \u2026.ANSWER\u2026An arterial ulcer<br>RATIONALE: Arterial ulcers have a pale deep base and are surrounded by tissue<br>that is cool with trophic changes such as dry skin and loss of hair. Arterial ulcers are<br>caused by tissue ischemia from inadequate arterial supply of oxygen and nutrients. A<br>stage 1 ulcer indicates a reddened area with an intact skin surface. A venous stasis<br>ulcer (vascular) has a dark red base and is surrounded by brown skin with local<br>edema. This type of ulcer is caused by the accumulation of waste products of<br>metabolism that are not cleared, as a result of venous congestion.<br>A client calls the nurse at the clinic and reports experiencing a sensation as though<br>the affected leg is falling asleep ever since the vein ligation and stripping procedure<br>was performed. The nurse would make which response to the client?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Apply warm packs to the leg.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Keep the leg elevated as much as possible.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Your primary health care provider needs to be contacted to report this problem.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;This normally occurs after surgery and will subside when the edema goes down.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2026.ANSWER\u2026&#8221;Your primary health care provider needs to be contacted to report<br>this problem.&#8221;<br>RATIONALE: A sensation of pins and needles or feeling as though the surgical limb<br>is falling asleep may indicate temporary or permanent nerve damage after surgery.<br>The saphenous vein and the saphenous nerve run close together, and damage to<br>the nerve will produce paresthesias. The remaining options are inaccurate<br>responses. An alternative to surgery is endovenous ablation of the saphenous vein.<br>Ablation involves the insertion of a catheter that emits energy. This causes collapse<br>and sclerosis of the vein. Potential complications include bruising, tightness along<br>the vein, recanalization (reopening of the vein), and paresthesia. Endovenous<br>ablation also may be done in combination with saphenofemoral ligation or<br>phlebectomy. Transilluminated powdered phlebectomy involves the use of a<br>powdered resector to destroy the varices and then removes the pieces via<br>aspiration.<br>The nurse has completed an educational course about first-degree heart block.<br>Which statement by the nurse indicates that teaching has been effective?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Presence of Q waves indicates first-degree heart block.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Tall, peaked T waves indicate first-degree heart block.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Widened QRS complexes indicate first-degree heart block.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Prolonged, equal PR intervals indicate first-degree heart block.&#8221; &#8211;<br>\u2026.ANSWER\u2026&#8221;Prolonged, equal PR intervals indicate first-degree heart block.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>RATIONALE: Prolonged and equal PR intervals indicate first-degree heart block.<br>The development of Q waves indicates myocardial necrosis. Tall, peaked T waves<br>may indicate hyperkalemia. A widened QRS complex indicates a delay in<br>intraventricular conduction, such as bundle branch block. An electrocardiogram<br>(ECG) taken during a pain episode is intended to capture ischemic changes, which<br>also include ST segment elevation or depression.<br>The ambulatory care nurse is working with a client who has been diagnosed with<br>Prinzmetal&#8217;s (variant) angina. What would the nurse plan to teach the client about<br>this type of angina?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is most effectively managed by beta-blocking agents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It has the same risk factors as stable and unstable angina.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can be controlled with a low-sodium, high-potassium diet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generally it is treated with calcium channel-blocking agents. &#8211;<br>\u2026.ANSWER\u2026Generally it is treated with calcium channel-blocking agents.<br>RATIONALE: Prinzmetal&#8217;s angina results from spasm of the coronary vessels and is<br>treated with calcium channel blockers. Beta blockers are contraindicated because<br>they may actually worsen the spasm. The risk factors are unknown, and this type of<br>angina is relatively unresponsive to nitrates. Diet therapy is not specifically indicated.<br>A client with myocardial infarction (MI) has been transferred from the coronary care<br>unit (CCU) to the general medical unit. What activity level would the nurse<br>encourage for the client immediately after transfer?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ad lib activities as tolerated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strict bed rest for 24 hours after transfer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bathroom privileges and self-care activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unsupervised hallway ambulation for distances up to 200 feet (60 meters) &#8211;<br>\u2026.ANSWER\u2026Bathroom privileges and self-care activities<br>RATIONALE: On transfer from CCU to an intermediate care or general medical unit,<br>the client is allowed self-care activities and bathroom privileges. Activities ad lib as<br>tolerated is premature at this time and potentially harmful for this client. It is<br>unnecessary and possibly harmful to limit the client to bed rest. The client would<br>ambulate with supervision in the hall for brief distances, with the distances being<br>gradually increased to 50, 100, and 200 feet (15, 30, and 60 meters).<br>A client with no history of heart disease has experienced acute myocardial infarction<br>and has been given thrombolytic therapy with tissue plasminogen activator. What<br>assessment finding would the nurse identify as an indicator that the client is<br>experiencing complications of this therapy?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tarry stools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nausea and vomiting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Orange-colored urine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decreased urine output &#8211; \u2026.ANSWER\u2026Tarry stools<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Thrombolytic agents are used to dissolve existing thrombi, and the nurse would<br>monitor the client for obvious or occult signs of bleeding. This includes assessment<br>for obvious bleeding within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, urinary system, and skin. It<br>also includes Hematest testing of secretions for occult blood. The correct option is<br>the only one that indicates the presence of blood.<br>A client has experienced an episode of pulmonary edema. The nurse determines<br>that the client&#8217;s respiratory status is improving after this episode if which breath<br>sounds are noted?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ronchi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wheezes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crackles in the bases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crackles throughout the lung fields &#8211; \u2026.ANSWER\u2026Crackles in the base<br>Pulmonary edema is characterized by extreme breathlessness, dyspnea, air hunger,<br>and the production of frothy, pink-tinged sputum. As the client&#8217;s condition improves,<br>the amount of fluid in the alveoli decreases, which may be detected by crackles in<br>the bases. (Clear lung sounds indicate full resolution of the episode.) Rhonchi and<br>wheezes are not associated with pulmonary edema. Auscultation of the lungs<br>reveals crackles throughout the lung fields.<br>A hospitalized client has been diagnosed with heart failure as a complication of<br>hypertension. In explaining the disease process to the client, the nurse identifies<br>which chamber of the heart as primarily responsible for the symptoms?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Left atrium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right atrium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Left ventricle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right ventricle &#8211; \u2026.ANSWER\u2026Left ventricle<br>Hypertension increases the workload of the left ventricle because the ventricle has to<br>pump the stroke volume against increased resistance (afterload) in the major blood<br>vessels. Over time this causes the left ventricle to fail, leading to signs and<br>symptoms of heart failure. The remaining options are not the chambers that are<br>primarily responsible for this disease process, although these chambers may be<br>affected as the disease becomes more chronic.<br>The registered nurse (RN) is educating a new nurse on mitral stenosis. Which<br>statement by the new nurse indicates that the teaching has been effective?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Left ventricle to aorta narrowing will impede flow of blood.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Left atrium to left ventricle narrowing will impede flow of blood.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Right atrium to right ventricle narrowing will impede flow of blood.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Right ventricle to pulmonary artery narrowing will impede flow of blood.&#8221; &#8211;<br>\u2026.ANSWER\u2026&#8221;Left atrium to left ventricle narrowing will impede flow of blood.&#8221;<br>The mitral valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle. The remaining<br>options describe impeded flow due to aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonic stenosis,<br>respectively.<br>Powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/search\/study?query=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/learnexams.com\/search\/study?query=<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HESI MILESTONE 2 ACTUAL EXAM 3 LATEST VERSIONS (V1, V2 AND V3) EACH VERSION CONTAINS 100 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED A+ HESI MILESTONE 2 ACTUAL EXAM 3LATEST VERSIONS (V1, V2 AND V3) EACHVERSION CONTAINS 100 QUESTIONS ANDCORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS(VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADYGRADED A+The nurse is caring for a client who is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-130382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exams-certification"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130382\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
