Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) notices a strange amulet pinned to the client's gown and offers to remove it. The client does not want it removed. Which rationale should the nurse give the UAP for allowing the client to continue to wear the amulet?
Correct Answer: C

D), the priority problem per nursing assessment.

Rationale: Sudden pleuritic chest pain suggests pulmonary embolism, a heparin complication; assessing lung sounds is the first step.
