Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing safety information regarding accidental poisoning to a grandparent. Which comment requires nurse intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because providing syrup of ipecac to induce vomiting is no longer recommended for poisoning treatment. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against the use of syrup of ipecac due to potential harm and lack of proven benefit. Inducing vomiting can cause further harm and delay appropriate medical treatment. A, B, and C are correct choices as they emphasize important safety measures such as contacting poison control, avoiding inducing vomiting for bleach ingestion, and calling 911 if the grandchild loses consciousness.
Question 2 of 5
A home health nurse assesses a home after the birth of an infant. A toddler also lives in the home. Which finding requires follow-up?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because plastic grocery bags stored under the counter pose a suffocation hazard for the toddler. This finding requires follow-up to ensure the bags are kept out of reach.
Choices B, C, and D are not immediate safety concerns. Electric outlets covered prevent electrical hazards, no bumper pads in the crib reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and crib slats being 5 cm apart meet safety standards.
Question 3 of 5
Which patient will the nurse see first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because using an electric razor near oxygen can lead to a fire hazard due to sparks. Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen and electric razors should not be used together to prevent fires.
Choices A, C, D, and E do not pose immediate safety risks requiring urgent attention.
Choice A may be a safety concern but is less urgent compared to choice B. The infant in choice E is safe as there is no string around the pacifier. The infant in choice C is not in immediate danger from looking at a shiny battery. The battery in choice D is out of reach, so the infant is not at immediate risk.
Question 4 of 5
A home health nurse is teaching a family to prevent electrical shock. Which information will the nurse include in the teaching session?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Disconnect items before cleaning. This is the safest way to prevent electrical shock as it ensures that no electrical current is flowing through the items being cleaned. Running wires under the carpet (
A) can create a tripping hazard and increase the risk of damage to the wires. Grasping the cord when unplugging items (
C) can lead to accidental contact with live wires. Using masking tape to secure cords to the floor (
D) can damage the cords and increase the risk of tripping.
Therefore, disconnecting items before cleaning is the most effective way to prevent electrical shock.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse has placed a yellow armband on a 70-year-old patient. Which observation by the nurse will indicate the patient has an understanding of this action?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. The patient wearing the red nonslip footwear indicates an understanding of the yellow armband. This is because the yellow armband typically signifies fall risk, and wearing red nonslip footwear is a safety measure to prevent falls. The other choices are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the significance of the yellow armband.
Choice A focuses on bathing, choice C on medication timing, and choice D on medication allergies, which are not directly related to fall risk.
