Question 3 of 5
A nursing assistant comes to the LPN/LVN and complains that she has more residents to care for than another nursing assistant (NA). She has one more resident assigned to her than the other NA. However, the other NA has more total care residents than the complaining NA. How should the LPN/LVN handle this situation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Discussing needs and organizing care addresses the NA's concerns constructively, promoting teamwork and efficiency without dismissing or deferring.
Question 4 of 5
A 2-year-old in the emergency department is suspected of having intussusception. Which assessment finding should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Intussusception causes intestinal obstruction, often leading to 'currant jelly' stools (blood and mucus). Black, sticky stools suggest upper GI bleeding. Greasy stools indicate malabsorption. Ribbon-like stools suggest rectal narrowing.
Question 5 of 5
A woman who comes in for prenatal care has a history of herpes with outbreaks that occur every six months to a year. She asks if this means she will have a cesarean delivery. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Active herpes lesions at labor necessitate a cesarean to prevent neonatal herpes transmission; otherwise, vaginal delivery may be possible.
