Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse and the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are caring for a client who is anxious. Which task should the nurse delegate to the UAP?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Giving a back rub is a non-invasive, supportive task within UAP scope, reducing anxiety. Teaching, listening, and guided imagery require nursing judgment.
Question 2 of 5
The client comes to the clinic complaining of itching on the left wrist near a wristwatch. The nurse notes an erythematous area along with pruritic vesicles around the left wrist. Which condition should the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Itching, erythema, and vesicles near a wristwatch suggest contact dermatitis, likely from nickel allergy.
Question 3 of 5
The male client is wearing a silver amulet to protect from evil spirits. Which action should the nurse take when sending the client to surgery?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Taping the amulet respects the client’s spiritual beliefs while ensuring safety in the OR, per patient-centered care. Removing, sending home, or questioning beliefs is less sensitive.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing to make morning rounds. Which client should the nurse see first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Chest pain, even if possibly dietary, may indicate a cardiac issue, requiring immediate assessment per ABCs. Cultural decision-making, pain refusal, and anger are less urgent.
