Client Safety Alternatives to Restraints Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Skin care, correct
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Leave the pimple. Pinching a pimple can lead to inflammation, scarring, and further spread of bacteria. Leaving the pimple allows it to heal naturally, reducing the risk of complications. It is important to practice gentle skincare to promote healthy skin and avoid causing damage or irritation. Other choices are incorrect as they involve actions that can harm the skin and worsen the condition.
Question 2 of 5
the environment is warm
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because in a warm environment, the body needs to cool itself to maintain a stable internal temperature. This process is called thermoregulation. Sweating and vasodilation are mechanisms the body uses to release heat and cool down.
Choice B is incorrect as the body does not need to warm itself in a warm environment.
Choices C and D are incomplete and do not offer a logical explanation related to the situation given.
Question 3 of 5
Sputum collection, wrong
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Clear and light sample. This is because sputum should ideally be clear and light in color, indicating a lower presence of mucus and other contaminants. A cloudy, thick sample (choice
A) may indicate an infection or presence of pus.
Choices C and D are likely left blank as they are irrelevant or incorrect responses. In summary, a clear and light sputum sample is preferred for accurate testing and diagnosis.
Question 4 of 5
Oral temperature, best
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B (Under tongue) for taking oral temperature. This method is widely used and recommended for its accuracy and convenience. Placing the thermometer under the tongue ensures direct contact with saliva, providing a more accurate reflection of core body temperature. Taking temperature in the gums (
A) may not provide as reliable results due to variations in saliva production and positioning. No information is given for choices C and D.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is participating in a research study for an experimental chemotherapy medication. After three treatments, the experimental medication is discontinued due to evidence of rapidly advancing kidney failure. The nurse should understand discontinuing this medication demonstrates which of the following ethical principles?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Nonmaleficence. This principle emphasizes the obligation to do no harm to the patient. By discontinuing the experimental medication upon evidence of rapidly advancing kidney failure, the nurse is prioritizing the patient's well-being and preventing further harm. This decision aligns with the ethical duty to avoid causing harm to the patient.
Now, let's analyze why the other choices are incorrect:
A. Veracity: Veracity refers to truth-telling. Discontinuing the medication is not specifically related to truth-telling but rather to preventing harm.
B. Autonomy: Autonomy relates to respecting the patient's right to make decisions about their care. Discontinuing the medication may be a decision made by the healthcare team based on patient safety, not necessarily the patient's autonomous choice.
C. Fidelity: Fidelity involves being faithful and maintaining trust in the patient-nurse relationship. Discontinuing the medication can be seen as upholding fidelity by acting in the patient's
