Question 1 of 5
When caring for an abused client, what is most important for the nurse to do initially?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Providing a safe place is the priority, ensuring immediate protection from further abuse before addressing long-term support.
Question 2 of 5
Which client should be assigned to the licensed practical nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A client with a cast for a fractured femur is stable and suitable for an LPN. Ventilator support and post-op thyroidectomy require RN skills, and interferon administration needs specialized knowledge.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is planning care for a 2 year-old hospitalized child. Which of the following will produces the most stress at this age?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Separation anxiety. While a toddler will experience all of the stresses, separation from parents is the major stressor.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of propofol (Diprivan) for sedation. Which of the following findings would be of GREATest concern to the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An oxygen saturation of 90% is low, indicating hypoxemia, a serious complication of propofol due to respiratory depression, requiring immediate intervention. Options A, B, and C are acceptable: respiratory rate 12 breaths/min, blood pressure 100/60 mmHg, and heart rate 80 bpm are stable.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following assessment findings would indicate to the nurse the need for more sedation in a client who is withdrawing from alcohol dependence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Steadily increasing vital signs (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure) indicate progression toward delirium tremens, a life-threatening complication of alcohol withdrawal, necessitating additional sedation. Mild tremors, decreased respirations, or gastroinTest inal symptoms are expected or contraindicate more sedation.
