Question 2

All of the following are needed immediately after a client sustains serious burns EXCEPT _____.

Accepted Answer

Glucose is not immediately needed after a client sustains serious burns because providing glucose at this stage can worsen the injury by further rupturing the burned cell membranes. However, providing glucose may be necessary later on during the healing process. On the other hand, providing fluids, electrolytes, and proteins is crucial for the client's immediate survival and recovery.

Question 3

What vitamin(s) is (are) essential for proper clotting of the blood in surgery clients? ​

Accepted Answer

Vitamin K plays a crucial role in blood clotting by assisting in the production of clotting factors. Without sufficient vitamin K, there is a risk of excessive bleeding during and after surgery.

Question 4

What is the preferred method for feeding the postsurgical client? ​

Accepted Answer

Oral feeding is the preferred method for the postsurgical client as it helps in reducing the risk of infection and other complications. It also helps in promoting the natural healing process and restoring bowel function. However, the client's condition and type of surgery should be assessed before initiating oral feeding. In some cases, nasogastric tube feeding or parenteral nutrition may be necessary for a brief period of time. Intravenous solutions are also used but are typically reserved for emergencies or cases where the client cannot tolerate any other form of nutrition.

Question 5

Name the term for the provision of nutrients intravenously. ​

Accepted Answer

Parenteral nutrition refers to the delivery of nutrients directly into a person's bloodstream through intravenous (IV) access, bypassing the digestive tract. This is typically done for people who are unable to eat, digest, or absorb nutrients orally or through tube feeding.

Question 6

What factor is related to weight loss in the AIDS client? ​

Accepted Answer

Appetite and the body's ability to absorb nutrients are commonly decreased in AIDS clients, leading to weight loss. This can be due to the virus itself or medication used to treat AIDS. Other factors such as depression and fever may contribute, but the primary factor is the decreased appetite and nutrient absorption.

Question 8

If the client begins to choke while being fed, what is the first action to take? ​

Accepted Answer

Helping the client sit up straighter can help open up the airway and facilitate the client's ability to breathe. This should be done as quickly as possible to prevent further choking. Offering water or suctioning should not be done immediately, as they may worsen the situation. Going to look for help may waste time and delay necessary interventions.

Question 9

Clients who are able to digest and absorb nutrients are given a commercial formula containing intact proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that require digestion. What is the term for this formula? ​

Accepted Answer

A polymeric formula contains intact proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that require digestion. This type of formula is appropriate for clients who can digest and absorb nutrients. The other options, modular formula, hydrolyzed formula, and elemental formula, contain partially or fully broken down nutrients and are used for clients with specific digestive issues or intolerances.

Question 10

​ Which vitamins, along with zinc, are essential for wound healing in surgery clients?

Accepted Answer

Vitamins A and C, along with zinc, are essential for wound healing. Vitamin A promotes the production of collagen and epithelialization, while vitamin C is necessary for collagen formation and assists in tissue restoration. Zinc is important in collagen synthesis and immune function.

Question 11

What complication can develop in bedridden clients? ​

Accepted Answer

Pressure ulcers (also known as bedsores or decubitus ulcers) are a common complication in bedridden clients. These occur when there is prolonged pressure on an area of skin, causing damage and eventually leading to an open wound. Prevention and proper management of pressure ulcers are essential in caring for bedridden clients.

Question 12

Extra ____ is needed for wound healing, tissue building, and blood regeneration.​

Accepted Answer

Protein is essential for repairing and building tissues, including those involved in wound healing. It is also necessary for producing new red blood cells, which are responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues. While vitamins and carbohydrates are important for overall health, they do not have as direct a role in tissue repair and blood regeneration as protein does.

Question 13

What is the term for the instrument used to tube feed through the nose and into the stomach? ​

Accepted Answer

A nasogastric tube is a flexible tube that is passed through the nose, down the throat, and into the stomach to deliver food, liquids, and medication. It is sometimes referred to as an NG tube or nasoenteral tube. The other options are not accurate descriptions of this type of tube.

Question 16

In general, what is the only thing given to most clients during the first 24 hours after major surgery? ​

Accepted Answer

Most clients are only given intravenous solutions during the first 24 hours after major surgery to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance and provide necessary nutrients. Solid food may not be introduced until the client can tolerate it and the gastrointestinal system is functioning properly. High-fat foods would likely not be given in the first 24 hours after surgery as they could be difficult to digest. Vitamin supplements may or may not be given, depending on the individual client's needs.
