Question 1 of 5
A client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, who has been receiving mechanical ventilation for the past 5 days, expresses to a nurse his desire to have treatment withdrawn. Which statement about the client's legal rights is true in this situation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Health care professionals must ensure a health care ethic that respects the role of the client in the decision-making process.

Question 2 of 5
A toddler is diagnosed with a dislocated right shoulder and a simple fracture of the right humerus. Which behavior most strongly suggests that the child's injuries stem from abuse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Not crying when moved most strongly suggests child abuse. A victim of child abuse typically doesn't complain of pain, even with obvious injuries, for fear of further displeasing the abuser. Trying to sit up on the stretcher is a typical client response. Trying to move away from the nurse indicates fear of strangers, which is normal in a toddler. Difficulty answering the nurse's questions is expected in a toddler because of poorly developed cognitive skills.
