Question 1 of 5
A healthcare professional is preparing to administer a flu vaccine. Which of the following should the healthcare professional verify?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The healthcare professional should verify the client's vaccination history to ensure they are due for the flu vaccine. Verifying the client's age (choice
A) is important for other vaccines but not specifically for the flu vaccine. While allergy to eggs (choice
B) is relevant as the flu vaccine is traditionally produced in eggs, it is not the top priority for verification. The client's weight (choice
D) is not directly related to the administration of the flu vaccine.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who has tuberculosis and a productive cough. Which of the following types of isolation precautions should the nurse initiate for the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Airborne. Tuberculosis is spread through small droplets that remain airborne for longer periods, hence requiring airborne precautions.
Choice A - Contact precautions are used for diseases spread by direct or indirect contact.
Choice B - Droplet precautions are for diseases transmitted by large respiratory droplets that can travel short distances.
Choice C - Protective isolation is not necessary for tuberculosis, as it is not spread through contact with the client.
Question 3 of 5
What is the name of a legal document that instructs health care providers and family members about what life-sustaining treatment an individual wants if they are unable to make decisions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Living will.' A living will is a legal document that outlines an individual's preferences for life-sustaining medical treatment if they become unable to make decisions.
Choice A, 'Do Not Resuscitate,' specifically refers to a directive that instructs healthcare providers not to perform CPR.
Choice B, 'Informed consent,' pertains to a patient's right to be informed about and consent to medical treatment.
Choice D, 'Durable power of attorney for health care,' involves appointing someone to make healthcare decisions on behalf of an individual when they are unable to do so.
Question 4 of 5
A healthcare professional is preparing to administer a dose of warfarin. Which of the following actions should the healthcare professional take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Corrected
Rationale: When administering warfarin, it is crucial to verify the patient's INR levels. INR monitoring is essential to ensure that the patient is receiving the correct dose of warfarin for their condition and to minimize the risk of bleeding.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because administering warfarin with food, monitoring blood glucose levels, and assessing liver function are not directly related to the safe administration and monitoring of warfarin therapy.
Question 5 of 5
A client has been prescribed enoxaparin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide regarding self-administration?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is to pinch the skin and inject at a 45-degree angle when administering enoxaparin. This technique helps ensure proper administration of the medication. Massaging the injection site after administering is unnecessary and could increase the risk of bleeding. Administering at a 90-degree angle is not recommended for enoxaparin injections. Rotating injection sites is important to prevent tissue damage and irritation.
