Question 2 of 5

Question 3 of 5
Which of the following infractions can result in the revocation of the nurse's license?
Correct Answer: C

Question 4 of 5
A 13-month-old child is admitted to the pediatric unit with diarrhea and vomiting. The mother tells the nurse that she is worried because her son does not yet walk. She says her other children walked at eight and nine months and asks what could be wrong with this child. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Walking typically occurs between 9-18 months; at 13 months, not walking is within normal variation, reassuring the mother without dismissing concerns.
Question 5 of 5
An adult is admitted to the emergency department following a fall. A piece of bone is protruding through the skin of the left thigh. In addition to assessing vital signs, what information is most essential to obtain from the client at this time?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An open fracture (bone protruding) risks tetanus infection; knowing the last tetanus shot date is critical to determine prophylaxis need. Fall history, environment, or surgeries are secondary.
