Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Following a motor vehicle accident, the client does not know where he is or what year it is and has short-term memory impairment. Which nursing action is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Simple directions accommodate memory impairment and disorientation, enhancing comprehension and safety post-accident.
Question 2 of 5
Because an adult is scheduled for a cystoscopy, the nurse should plan to do which of the following immediately prior to the procedure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cystoscopy may involve iodine-based contrast; shellfish allergies suggest iodine sensitivity, requiring verification. NPO is not needed, claustrophobia is irrelevant, and fluids are not prioritized immediately before.
Question 3 of 5
Which type of accidental poisoning would the nurse expect to occur in children under age 6?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Oral ingestion. Young children are most likely to ingest toxic substances due to their exploratory behavior.
Question 4 of 5

Rationale: Asking the reason clarifies whether the refusal is due to scope, training, or other issues, promoting collaboration. Performing the task, ignoring, or lecturing avoids addressing the root cause.
