A patient was admitted to the critical care unit several weeks ago with an acute myocardial infarction and subsequently underwent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery
Since a cardiac arrest 5 days ago, the patient has been unresponsive. An electroencephalogram shows no meaningful brain activity. After a family conference, the physician orders a DNR order, and palliative care is begun. This means a. the patient will continue to receive the same aggressive treatment short of resuscitation if he has another cardiac arrest. b. all treatment will be stopped, and the patient will be allowed to die. c. all attempts will be made to keep the patient comfortable without prolonging his life. d. the patient will be immediately transferred to hospice.
The nurse asks the patient, "What brings you to the hospital today?" What is the nurse's rationale for using this type of question?
1. It acknowledges agreement between the patient and the nurse. 2. It elicits specific information. 3. It is useful for introducing a subject in general terms. 4. It helps to clarify information.
The home care nurse is examining a 3-day-old infant. The child's skin on the sternum is yellow when blanched with a finger. The parents ask the nurse why jaundice occurs. What is the best response from the nurse?
1. "The liver of an infant is not fully mature, and doesn't conjugate the bilirubin for excretion." 2. "The infant received too many red blood cells after delivery because the cord was not clamped immediately." 3. "The yellow color of your baby's skin indicates that you are breastfeeding too often." 4. "This is an abnormal finding related to your baby's bowels not excreting bilirubin as they should."
