Question 1 of 5

A healthcare professional is preparing to transfer a client who has had a stroke and is at risk for falling to a rehabilitation facility. Which of the following information should the healthcare professional include in the transfer report?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The client's current level of mobility is essential to be included in the transfer report for the rehabilitation facility to develop an appropriate care plan. Understanding the client's mobility status helps in determining the level of assistance and interventions needed to prevent falls and promote safe rehabilitation.

Choices A, B, and C are not directly related to the client's immediate care needs during the transfer to the rehabilitation facility, making them less relevant for the transfer report.

Question 2 of 5

What are the nursing considerations for a patient receiving anticoagulant therapy?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Monitor INR levels and check for bleeding.' When a patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy, nurses must monitor the patient's INR levels to ensure that the anticoagulants are within the therapeutic range and also watch for signs of bleeding, which is a common side effect of anticoagulants. Option B is incorrect because while patient education is important, dietary restrictions are not a direct nursing consideration when administering anticoagulant therapy. Option C is not a specific nursing consideration related to anticoagulant therapy. Option D is incorrect as keeping the patient immobile is not a standard nursing practice for patients on anticoagulant therapy, as mobility is often encouraged to prevent complications like deep vein thrombosis.
