Question 2 of 5
Occupational health nurse is caring for employee with chemical burn from unknown chemical. Which intervention should nurse include in care plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Brush chemical off skin & clothing. This intervention is crucial to prevent further exposure and damage from the unknown chemical. By brushing off the chemical, the nurse can minimize the contact time and reduce the risk of more severe burns. Irrigating with water (choice
A) may spread the chemical or react with it, worsening the burn. Washing with antibacterial soap (choice
B) can also react with the chemical and cause more harm. Applying a neutralizing agent (choice
D) can potentially worsen the burn if the wrong agent is used.
Therefore, choice C is the best initial intervention to prevent further harm.
Question 3 of 5
Nurse observes assistive personnel (AP) reprimanding a client for not using urinal properly. The AP tells him she will put a diaper on him if he doesn't use urinal more carefully next time. Which of the following torts is AP committing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Assault. Assault is the intentional act that causes another person to fear that they will be touched in a harmful or offensive manner. In this scenario, the AP's threat to put a diaper on the client if he doesn't use the urinal properly next time is an intentional act that instills fear in the client. This threat constitutes assault because it creates a reasonable apprehension of harmful or offensive contact.
Choice B (Battery) involves actual physical contact without consent, which is not present in this scenario.
Choice C (False imprisonment) involves restricting someone's freedom of movement, which is not evident here.
Choice D (Invasion of privacy) pertains to disclosing private information, which is not the issue at hand.
Therefore, the correct answer is A as it best aligns with the scenario presented.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Report observations to nurse manager on unit. This is the best course of action as it prioritizes patient safety and addresses the potential risk of a drowsy and unfocused nurse providing care. Reporting to the nurse manager is important to ensure proper intervention and support for the drowsy nurse.
Choice A: Reminding the nurse of safe client care is important but does not address the root cause of the behavior.
Choice B: Asking others on the team may provide additional insights but does not address the immediate need to ensure patient safety.
Choice D: Concluding that the coworker's fatigue is not her problem to solve neglects the responsibility to advocate for patient safety.
Overall, choice C is the most appropriate action to take in this situation to address the potential risk to patient care.
