Extract:
Question 1 of 5
You are working as a wound care nurse. You measure the size of a client's wound and it is 3 cm deep, 2 cm long and 4 cm wide. You would document the dimension of this wound as:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Wound dimensions are documented as length x width x depth (2 cm x 4 cm x 3 cm), but the total linear measurement is not typically summed. However, based on the options, 12 cm may reflect a misinterpretation; the correct documentation is the individual measurements.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following serologic tests should the nurse have on the chart before a client is started on tissue plasminogen activator or alteplase recombinant (Activase)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is essential before administering alteplase to assess bleeding risk, as it is a thrombolytic. Potassium levels and other tests are less relevant in this context.
Question 3 of 5
You have been asked to teach an inservice class for nurses in your facility about ethics. Which of the following should you consider during the planning of this educational activity?

Rationale: When planning an educational activity, establishing clear educational objectives is essential to define the content, methods, and expected outcomes of the class, ensuring effective learning.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse has explained the reason that the primary health care provider has chosen laser surgery to treat a client's cervical cancer. Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the explanation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Laser therapy is performed in an outpatient setting and is used when all boundaries of the lesion are visible. Laser surgery is painless, and the client would not receive general anesthesia. Laser therapy does not prevent regrowth.
