Question 1 of 5
A client who has Mycoplasma pneumonia needs to go to the radiology department for a chest x-ray. What should the client wear?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A surgical mask prevents droplet transmission of Mycoplasma pneumonia during transport, protecting others.
Question 2 of 5
While reviewing the chart of an elderly client, the nurse notes that the last recorded temperature for the preceding shift was 104°. There is no documented intervention. The nurse should:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Retaking the temperature verifies the current status, as the fever may have resolved. Checking orders or asking the client assumes the fever persists, and calling the nurse is impractical.
Question 3 of 5
A 3-year-old child had a seizure two days ago when the child's temperature was 105°F. The child has had no previous seizures. Today, the parent and the child are in the physician's office. What should the nurse include when teaching the parent?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A febrile seizure at 105°F in a 3-year-old without prior seizures suggests a one-time event; ibuprofen for fevers above 101°F helps prevent recurrence, while epilepsy or immediate reporting is premature.

Rationale: Assisting with range of motion, reapplying compression devices, and reminding about spirometry are within UAP scope and prevent immobility issues. Assessing extremities and logrolling require nursing judgment.
