Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for an eight-year-old following a routine tonsillectomy. Which finding should be reported immediately?

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Per the Rule of Nines, the right arm is 9% and the trunk (anterior and posterior) is 36%. Partial- and full-thickness burns to the right arm and trunk approximate 35% TBSA.
Question 3 of 5
The client is prescribed ciprofloxacin (Cipro) for a urinary tract infection. Which instruction should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ciprofloxacin can cause photosensitivity, so avoiding sun exposure prevents skin reactions. Dairy products reduce absorption, and the full course must be completed, regardless of symptoms.
