 160.  Answer  C  is  correct.  

The  purpose  of  the  dexamethasone-suppression  test  is  to identi-fy  clients  who  will  benefit  from therapy  with  antidepressants  and electroconvulsive  therapy  rather  than  psychological  or  social  interventions.

198.  Answer  C  is  correct.  

The  client  should  take  a  deep  breath  and  hold  it  (Valsalva maneuver)  when  the  central  line  is  being  removed.  This  increases  the  intrathoracic pressure  and  decreases  the  likelihood  of  having  an  air embolus.  Answers  A  and  B  do not  increase  intrathoracic  pressure;  therefore,  they  are  incorrect  for  the  situation. Answer D increases the likelihood of air embolus; therefore, it is incorrect.  




199.  Answer D is  correct.  

The  earliest  sign  of  cystic  fibrosis  is  meconium  ileus, which  may  be  present  in  the  newborn  with  the  disease.  Answers  A,  B,  and C are later mani-festations; therefore, they are incorrect.

201.  Answer  B  is  correct.  Coolness  and  discoloration  of  the  reimplanted  digits  indicates compromised  circulation,  which  should  be  reported  immediately  to  the  physician.  The temperature  should  be  monitored,  but  the  client  would  receive  antibiotics  to  prevent infection;  therefore,  answer  A  is  incorrect.  Answers  C  and  D  are  expected  following amputation and reimplantation; therefore, they are incorrect.  






202.  Answer C is  correct.  

The  obstetrical  client  under  age  18  is  at  greatest risk  for CPD  because  pelvic  growth  is  not  fully  completed.  Answers  A,  B, and D are incorrect because these clients are not as likely to have CPD. 




 203.  Answer  A is  correct.  Priority  of  care  should  focus  on  maintaining  the  client’s airway.  Answers  B  and  C  are  important  to  the  client’s  care,  but  they  do  not  take priority  over  maintaining  the  client’s  airway;  therefore,  they  are  incorrect.  Answer D is incorrect because the client will require a passive range of motion exercise.
