Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse assigns an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) to care for a client with a musculoskeletal disorder. The client ambulates with a leg splint. Which task requires supervision of the UAP?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitor the client's response to interventions requires assessment, a task to be performed by an RN.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following infractions can result in the revocation of the nurse's license?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A felony conviction can lead to license revocation due to its impact on professional integrity. Natural disaster response, negligence, or unpaid fees may have other consequences but are less likely to cause revocation.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is giving home care to a 69-year-old client who has severe arthritis. Which comment made by the client would indicate to the nurse that the client is experiencing normal changes associated with the aging process?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Feeling cold and preferring a warmer environment is a normal age-related change due to decreased thermoregulation. Pain, loose stools, and visual changes may indicate pathology requiring further investigation.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with polycythemia vera. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A, B, C
Rationale: Increased fluids (
A), phlebotomy (

D) is irrelevant, and iron supplementation (E) worsens the condition.
