Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with a fiberglass cast applied to a distal fracture of the right tibia. The client should be able to bear weight on the cast within:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Fiberglass casts typically require 24 hours to fully dry and harden before weight-bearing.

Choices A, B, and C are too short for the cast to achieve sufficient strength.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is to administer a tuberculin skin test. At what angle should the needle be inserted?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A 10-degree angle ensures intradermal injection for a tuberculin skin test, creating a wheal for accurate reading.

Question 3 of 5

A 3-year-old child had a seizure two days ago when the child's temperature was 105°F. The child has had no previous seizures. Today, the parent and the child are in the physician's office. What should the nurse include when teaching the parent?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A febrile seizure at 105°F in a 3-year-old without prior seizures suggests a one-time event; ibuprofen for fevers above 101°F helps prevent recurrence, while epilepsy or immediate reporting is premature.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is teaching the client the appropriate way to use a metered dose inhaler. Which observation indicates the client needs additional teaching?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When using a metered dose inhaler, the client should wait 1-2 minutes between puffs to ensure proper absorption, not 30 seconds. Answer C indicates a need for additional teaching. Answers A, B, and D describe correct techniques for inhaler use.
