Assessment for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a priority for which client?
 
  1. A client with a gastric ulcer
  2. A client with hypertension
  3. A client recovering from a knee replacement
  4. A client with pneumonia

Question 2

A client who is admitted to the hospital for treatment of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) says, I took a medicine called procainamide years ago when I had PVCs and it worked great.
 
  I quit taking it because I did not think I needed it anymore. Maybe the doctor can give me some of that. Which responses by the nurse are appropriate?
  Standard Text: Select all that apply.
  1. You must be confused, because procainamide is not given orally.
  2. I will be certain to let the doctor know that. He might just restart your medication.
  3. Procainamide is given for arrhythmias that come from a different part of the heart than yours.
  4. Procainamide is no longer the drug of choice for your type of arrhythmia.
  5. Procainamide has some serious side effects and we have better drugs for your condition now.
