Question 3 of 5
Which of the following actions by the nurse would be a violation of the patient's right to privacy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Accessing a neighbor's former spouse's lab results without a legitimate reason violates privacy. Other actions are standard care practices with patient consent or for education.
Question 4 of 5
A client takes the morning dose of 10 units of insulin aspart at 0800. At what time would the nurse assess for hypoglycemia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Insulin aspart, a rapid-acting insulin, has an onset of 15-30 minutes, making 0830 the earliest time to assess for hypoglycemia. Later times (0930, 1030, 1130) are beyond the peak risk period for this insulin.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer Ringer's lactate 500 mL IV bolus to infuse over 8 hours. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 20 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 21
Rationale: Infusing 500 mL over 8 hours (480 minutes): (500 ÷ 480) × 20 = 20.83 gtt/min, rounded to 21 gtt/min.
