Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse coming on duty notifies the unit of a delay due to a motor vehicle accident. The off-going nurse has an important appointment and must leave on time. How should the off-going nurse handle the situation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Notifying the charge nurse ensures proper client coverage and maintains continuity of care without abandoning patients. Asking another nurse assumes their availability, tape-recording lacks interaction, and a written report alone does not ensure immediate supervision.
Question 2 of 5
A man is being discharged following a vasectomy. Which comment by the client indicates a need for more instruction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Condom use is needed for 6-12 weeks post-vasectomy until azoospermia is confirmed, not just 2 weeks. Scrotal support, family planning, and hygiene are appropriate.
Question 3 of 5
The mother of a 4 month-old infant asks the nurse about the dangers of sunburn while they are on vacation at the beach. Which of the following is the best advice about sun protection for this child?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Infants under 6 months of age should be kept out of the sun or shielded from it. Even on a cloudy day, the infant can be sunburned while near water. A hat and light protective clothing should be worn.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer an acetaminophen suppository to a 4-year-old client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,C,E
Rationale: The side-lying position facilitates insertion, a gloved finger ensures hygiene, and holding buttocks prevents expulsion. Guiding along the rectal wall is unnecessary, and the suppository should be inserted beyond the external sphincter for absorption.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is reviewing dietary teaching with a client who has chronic kidney disease. Which of the following statements by the client would indicate a correct understanding of the teaching? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using herbs instead of salt reduces sodium intake, which is critical in chronic kidney disease to manage fluid retention and blood pressure. Salt substitutes often contain potassium, which is restricted; raisins, bran, and milk are high in potassium or phosphorus; and peanut butter and crackers are high in sodium and phosphorus.
