1. While assessing a patient's peripheral intravenous (IV) site, the nurse notes warmth, redness, and swelling proximal to the insertion site, and the patient reports pain. How should the nurse document this finding?

   • Infiltration
   • Phlebitis
   • Extravasation
   • Infection
   Show answer & explanation

   Answer: B. Phlebitis

   Phlebitis is inflammation of the vein characterized by redness, warmth, pain, and swelling along the path of the vein. Infiltration involves leakage of non-vesicant fluid into surrounding tissue (coolness, pallor, edema). Extravasation is the leakage of vesicant fluid causing tissue necrosis. Local infection presents with purulent drainage and localized redness.

5. The nurse is preparing to administer an enteral feeding through a nasogastric (NG) tube. What is the most reliable bedside method to verify the position of the tube before starting the feeding?

   • Auscultating the epigastric area while injecting 30 mL of air
   • Measuring the pH of the aspirated gastric contents
   • Observing the client for coughing or respiratory distress
   • Confirming the placement with an abdominal X-ray
   Show answer & explanation

   Answer: B. Measuring the pH of the aspirated gastric contents

   While an X-ray is the overall gold standard for initial placement, testing the pH of aspirated fluid (pH < 5.5) is the most reliable bedside method for ongoing verification. Auscultation of air is no longer recommended as it is highly unreliable.

   • Apply bilateral soft wrist restraints to prevent the patient from getting up
   • Keep all four side rails in the raised position
   • Ensure the call light is within the patient's reach and the bed is in the lowest position
   • Request a continuous sedative medication from the provider
   Show answer & explanation

   Answer: C. Ensure the call light is within the patient's reach and the bed is in the lowest position

   Keeping the call light reachable and the bed in the lowest position are standard, non-restrictive fall prevention safety measures. Four side rails are considered a restraint, and restraints or sedation should never be a first-line safety measure.
