Extract:
Question 1 of 5
When interviewing the parents of a child with asthma, it is most important to assess the child's environment for what factor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Animal dander is a very common allergen affecting persons with asthma. Other triggers may include pollens, carpeting and household dust.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing for jaundice in a client who has dark skin. What is the best way to do this?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The sclera (white of the eyes) reliably shows yellowing in jaundice, even in dark skin, unlike stool color, nail beds, or fingers, which are less specific.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assisting with an education conference for graduate nurses about infant CPR. Which of the following statements are appropriate to include in the teaching? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,E
Rationale: Two minutes of CPR before defibrillator retrieval and assessing the brachial pulse for ≤10 seconds align with infant CPR guidelines. Compression depth is about one-third the chest, two fingers are used, and the ratio is 30:2 for a single rescuer.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has subclavian central venous access. Which nursing intervention is most important to prevent the spread of infection to this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Frequent hand hygiene is the most effective intervention to prevent infection in central venous access, reducing pathogen transmission. No artificial nails and chlorhexidine wipes are supportive, but hand hygiene is primary. PPE is situational.
Question 5 of 5
A client at 20 weeks gestation reports 'running to the bathroom all the time,' pain with urination, and foul-smelling urine. Which question is most important for the nurse to ask when assessing the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Back or flank pain suggests pyelonephritis, a serious complication of UTI in pregnancy, requiring urgent evaluation. Hygiene, frequency, and history are relevant but less critical than assessing for systemic infection.
