Which assessment data would indicate to the nurse that the client would be at risk for a hemorrhagic stroke?

A right sided calcaneal spur

A blood pressure of 222/112 mmHg

Glycosylated hemoglobin of 5.9%

Recent endoscopy

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A.   A calcaneal spur, or heel spur, is a bony growth on the heel bone. This condition is primarily related to foot pain and does not have a direct link to the risk of stroke. It is not relevant in assessing stroke risk.
B.   This elevated blood pressure reading indicates hypertension, which is a significant risk factor for both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Chronic high blood pressure can lead to damage of the blood vessels, making them more susceptible to rupture, thus increasing the risk of a hemorrhagic stroke.
C.   A glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level of 5.9% indicates well-managed diabetes, typically within the normal range for most individuals. While uncontrolled diabetes is a risk factor for vascular disease, this level suggests adequate control and does not specifically indicate an increased risk for a hemorrhagic stroke.
D.   A recent endoscopy itself does not indicate a direct risk for a hemorrhagic stroke. However, if the endoscopy was performed due to gastrointestinal bleeding or if it resulted in complications, there could be indirect implications, but this option alone does not signify an increased risk for hemorrhagic stroke.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. While applying heat may help alleviate discomfort, it is not the primary recommendation for managing epididymitis. The treatment often involves rest, elevation of the scrotum, and possibly cold packs rather than heat. Therefore, while this statement may reflect some understanding, it is not the best indicator of comprehensive knowledge about managing epididymitis.
B. While some mild cases may improve spontaneously, most cases of epididymitis require treatment, especially if they are caused by infections, which are common. Untreated epididymitis can lead to complications, so this statement does not reflect an accurate understanding of the condition.
C. If epididymitis is caused by a sexually transmitted infection (STI), it is important that sexual partners be evaluated and treated as well to prevent reinfection. This indicates a proper understanding of the implications of the condition, particularly in the context of STIs.
D. It seems to reference concerns related to radiation therapy, which is unrelated to the management or understanding of epididymitis. This indicates a lack of focus on the current diagnosis and its implications.

A. 1 unit per 1mL B. 10 units per 1 mL C. 100 units per 1 mL D. 1000 units per 1 mL

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. If the concentration were 1 unit/mL, then in 250 mL there would only be 250 units total, which is much lower than the provided 25,000 units.
B. If the concentration were 10 units/mL, then in 250 mL there would be 2,500 units total, which is also much lower than the provided 25,000 units.
C. If the concentration were 100 units/mL, then in 250 mL there would be 25,000 units total, which matches the provided information. However, while this seems plausible, it is not the answer we calculated.
D. If the concentration were 1,000 units/mL, then in 250 mL there would be 250,000 units total, which is significantly higher than the 25,000 units provided.
