Question 1 of 5
A nurse is coordinating care of a group of clients with an assistive personnel (AP). Which of the following tasks should the nurse assign to the AP?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Measuring intake and output is a routine task suitable for an AP. Teaching, pain assessment, and IV site checks require nursing judgment and cannot be delegated.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has hearing loss. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to promote communication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Decreasing background noise improves the client's ability to hear and understand. Rapid speech, short phrases, or loud voices can distort communication or cause discomfort.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a hip fracture and plans to administer pain medication prior to turning the client. Which of the following ethical principles is the nurse implementing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Beneficence, the duty to do good and prevent harm, is implemented by relieving pain before a painful procedure. Fidelity, autonomy, and veracity involve promises, self-determination, and truthfulness, respectively.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who needs to increase vitamin C intake to promote wound healing. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend as the best source of vitamin C?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A small pink grapefruit contains 38.4 mg of vitamin C, the highest among the options, making it the best source for wound healing. Banana, pear, and apple have significantly less.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is collecting data from a client who is postoperative following abdominal surgery. The client's BP was 125/85 mm Hg 15 min ago. The nurse now finds that the client's BP is 176/96 mm Hg. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Measuring the client's BP in the other arm is the correct action to confirm the accuracy of the reading and rule out errors. A narrower cuff or faster deflation can skew results, and requesting medication is premature without verifying the elevation and assessing its cause.
