Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is discussing safety and accident prevention with the mother of a 9-month-old. The teaching has been effective when the mother states which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Keeping cleaning supplies locked up indicates effective teaching on safety, as it prevents the child from accessing hazardous substances.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse has done preoperative teaching with a client scheduled for percutaneous insertion of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter. Which client statement indicates the need for further teaching about the procedure?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The percutaneous approach uses local anesthesia. Complications after insertion of an IVC filter are rare. When they do occur, they include air embolism, improper placement, and filter migration. Venous congestion can occur from accumulation of thrombi on the filter, but the process usually occurs gradually. There is usually no need for anticoagulant therapy after surgery.
Question 3 of 5
A client is taking ciprofloxacin (Cipro). Which of the following laboratory studies will not be affected by ciprofloxacin?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Ciprofloxacin does not typically affect total iron-binding capacity, unlike theophylline levels (drug interaction) or coagulation studies (PT/PTT).
Question 4 of 5
You are working as a wound care nurse. You measure the size of a client's wound and it is 3 cm deep, 2 cm long and 4 cm wide. You would document the dimension of this wound as:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Wound dimensions are typically documented as length x width x depth (2 cm x 4 cm x 3 cm), but based on options, 12 cm may reflect a calculation error; correct documentation is individual measurements.
Question 5 of 5
A client with type 2 diabetes is prescribed metformin. Which laboratory value should the nurse monitor?
