Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A common pathogenic bacterium that may become penicillin-resistant is Staphylococcus aureus. A dangerous organism known as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can cause life-threatening illness because it does not respond to antibiotics. This has become a serious problem in healthcare facilities and in the general population.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
An arthrogram requires the use of dye to determine joint condition. Before giving a radiopaque dye, the nurse should ask the client if he or she has any sensitivities to foods, especially any shellfish or medications containing iodine, as well as any sensitivities to latex or medications. Clients who have metallic implants, such as orthopedic screws, may not be eligible for MRI scanning. Severe damage and death can result if metallic implants are exposed to the intense magnetic fields of an MRI. Following a bone scan, the nurse should instruct the client to drink extra fluids, to increase excretion of the isotope. After arthroscopy, the nurse should elevate the client's joint and apply ice to control edema and pain.
