    ATI n200 Pharmacology Proctored Exam

    The nurse understands that a client who has had a bone marrow aspiration to assist in the diagnosis of anaemia requires additional teaching when they state:

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "I will have some pain that is similar to a toothache.": This statement shows an understanding that discomfort can occur after a bone marrow aspiration, which is a common experience. B. "I understand that this is a sterile procedure.": This demonstrates awareness of the importance of sterility during the procedure to prevent infection, which is accurate. C. "The nurse will check the puncture site at least every 4 hours after the procedure.": This indicates an understanding of the need for monitoring the puncture site for complications such as bleeding or infection, which is an appropriate expectation. D. "The nurse will give me one 650 mg tablet of Aspirin for pain when the procedure is over.": This statement indicates a need for additional teaching because aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding, particularly after a procedure involving puncturing the skin. Generally, acetaminophen (Tylenol) would be recommended for pain relief instead of aspirin.
