A nurse and a preceptor are discussing the differences between succinylcholine (Anectine) and nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers
The preceptor asks the nurse which finding can be an-ticipated after the administration of succinylcholine (Anectine). Which statement made by the nurse would indicate a need for further teaching? a. Succinylcholine produces a state of flaccid paralysis.
b. Succinylcholine has no effects on the central nervous system.
c. Succinylcholine produces paralysis preceded by a brief initial period of contrac-tion.
d. Succinylcholine abates much more rapidly.
C
Succinylcholine produces paralysis that is followed by a brief initial period of contraction, not preceded by such a period of contraction; this response indicates a need for further teaching.
Succinylcholine does produce a state of flaccid paralysis; no further teaching is required based on this correct statement.
Succinylcholine has no effects on the central nervous system; no further teaching is required based on this correct statement.
Succinylcholine does abate much more rapidly than nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers; no further teaching is required based on this correct statement.

A client has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The nurse plans to teach the client pursed-lip breathing. How will this breathing technique help the client?
1. It prevents need for suctioning later in disease process. 2. It provides a sense of control over chronic respiratory disease. 3. It raises the carbon dioxide level, which stimulates breathing. 4. It prolongs inspiration and shortens expiration.
