NCLEX RN Questions on Coordinated Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
A toddler in gastric distress is admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit. The toddler becomes anxious and tries to remove the IV. The mother offers to help calm the child. Which action by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Reading a favorite book is age-appropriate and leverages maternal comfort to reduce anxiety without medication.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client on the orthopedic unit who had a total knee replacement on the left side. The nurse knows the client will be ready for discharge when she is able to do which of the following activities?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ambulating 100 feet with assistive devices indicates sufficient mobility and strength for safe discharge. Stair climbing and full knee flexion are typically longer-term goals, and fixing a snack is unrelated to surgical recovery.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse reports to work and finds that a client from the previous day has been assigned to another nurse. The nurse had a great rapport with the client and wonders how he did during the night. She decides to look at the client's chart to read the progress notes. Which statement is correct regarding the nurse's actions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Accessing the chart without a care-related need violates HIPAA, as the nurse is no longer assigned to the client.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse on a busy surgical floor is working with an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). The nurse understands that which task cannot be delegated to the UAP?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calling report requires nursing judgment and is outside the UAP's scope.
Question 5 of 5
