Question 1 of 5
These are nursing intervention that requires knowledge, skills and expertise of multiple health professionals.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Interdependent interventions rely on multiple health professionals' expertise, such as a nurse, physiotherapist, and doctor co-managing a stroke patient's rehab plan. Dependent actions follow orders (e.g., giving meds), independent ones are nurse-initiated (e.g., repositioning), and 'intradependent' isn't a term. For instance, adjusting a patient's diet with a nutritionist reflects shared knowledge, ensuring holistic care. This collaboration, common in complex cases, leverages diverse skills, enhancing outcomes like mobility or nutrition, a hallmark of modern interdisciplinary healthcare teams.
Question 2 of 5
What can you expect from Marianne, who is currently at the ONSET stage of fever?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fever's onset (chill phase) features vasoconstriction e.g., pale, cold skin as the body raises its setpoint. Hot, flushed skin (flush phase), thirst (later), or convulsions (hyperpyrexia) follow. Nurses expect this initial response e.g., shivering in Marianne, guiding warming measures, per fever physiology.
Question 3 of 5
Considered as the most accessible and convenient method for temperature taking
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Oral temp is most accessible e.g., quick tongue placement needing minimal prep, unlike rectal (invasive), tympanic (equipment), or axillary (longer). Convenient for alert patients, nurses favor it e.g., clinics for routine ease, per practice standards.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse notes small, pimple-like pustules all over the newborn's body. When charting the integumentary assessment of this newborn, which normal finding does the nurse note?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Small, pimple-like pustules on a newborn's body suggest erythema toxicum (
C), a benign, self-limiting rash common in the first week of life, often with erythematous macules and pustules. Strawberry hemangiomas (
A) are vascular growths, not pustular. Port-wine stains (
B) are flat, purple birthmarks. Telangiectatic nevi simplex (
D) are salmon-colored patches, not pustules. C is correct.
Rationale: Erythema toxicum affects up to 70% of newborns, caused by an immune response, resolving without treatment, distinct from vascular or permanent lesions, aligning with normal neonatal skin findings.
Question 5 of 5
A client attached to mechanical ventilation suddenly becomes restless and pulls out the tracheostomy tube. Which is the nurse's priority intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: If a tracheostomy tube is dislodged, checking for spontaneous breathing (
D) is the priority to assess airway patency and oxygenation need. Preparing for reintubation (
A) or calling teams (B,
C) follows. D is correct.
Rationale: Assessing breathing determines if immediate reinsertion or oxygenation is urgent, guiding next steps per respiratory emergency standards, ensuring patient stability first.
