Question 1 of 5

When suctioning a client's tracheostomy, the nurse should instill saline in order to

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: remove a mucus plug. While no longer recommended for routine suctioning, saline may thin and loosen viscous secretions that are very difficult to move, perhaps making them easier to suction.

Question 2 of 5

An adult client who has a fractured tibia is ordered to take one baby aspirin a day. He says to the nurse, 'I don't think the aspirin is doing any good. I still have pain.' What should the nurse include when replying to this client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Low-dose aspirin is used to prevent thrombus formation in immobilized clients with fractures. It's not primarily for fever, pain, or inflammation in this context.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is caring for an adult who is enrolled in a study involving an experimental drug. The client says to the nurse, 'I don't think I can stand the vomiting anymore. I think it is due to the drug I am taking. If only I could get out of this study I signed up for. That was a really stupid thing I did when I signed up for the study.' What information must the nurse include when responding to the client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Participants can withdraw from research studies at any time, per ethical research guidelines, ensuring autonomy and safety.
