Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client following the reimplantation of the thumb and index finger. Which finding should be reported to the physician immediately?

Question 3 of 5
The client who is 2 weeks post-burn with a 40% deep partial-thickness injury still has open wounds. The nurse's assessment reveals the following findings: temperature 96.5°F, BP 87/40, and severe diarrhea stools. What problem does the nurse most likely suspect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hypothermia, hypotension, and diarrhea suggest systemic gram-negative infection, likely sepsis, due to bacterial translocation from open wounds or the gut in a burn patient.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is discharging a client with a prescription of eyedrops. Which observation by the nurse would indicate a need for further client teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Administering a second eyedrop immediately washes out the first. A 5-minute wait is needed, indicating a need for further teaching.
