Extract:
Question 1 of 5
An adult client in an acute care setting asks the nurse to show him his hospital records. The nurse's response should reflect which understanding?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: HIPAA grants clients the right to access their medical records and receive explanations, ensuring transparency. Court orders, physician approval, or committees are not required.
Question 2 of 5
An adult male has an IV in the left arm. The client calls the nurse and says that his left arm hurts. The LPN checks the IV site and notes that it is cool and blanched and not running well. What should the LPN do at this time?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cool, blanched skin and poor flow indicate infiltration; removing the IV and starting a new line prevents tissue damage.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is collecting data from a client who delivered a full-term newborn vaginally 12 hours ago after prolonged labor. Which of the following findings would be essential to follow up?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Foul-smelling lochia suggests possible endometritis or infection, requiring immediate follow-up. External hemorrhoids and mild temperature elevation are common postpartum findings, and discomfort during fundal massage is expected unless accompanied by other concerning signs.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for an adult who is receiving diphenoxylate hydrochloride with atropine sulfate (Lomotil) qid. What nursing assessment is essential while the client is receiving this medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lomotil can cause respiratory depression due to its opioid component, requiring respiratory assessment before administration.
Question 5 of 5
The clinic nurse is caring for several clients during well-child visits. The nurse should recognize which client as being the most at risk for anemia?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A preterm infant bottle-fed with breastmilk is most at risk for anemia due to preterm infants' lower iron stores and breastmilk's low iron content. Term breastfed infants (A,
D) have adequate stores initially, and iron-fortified formula prevents anemia.
