Question 1 of 9
A client had oral surgery following a motor vehicle accident. The nurse assessing the client finds the skin flushed and warm. Which of the following would be the best method to take the client's body temperature?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In cases where the oral route is not recommended due to oral surgery or altered consciousness, the rectal method is preferred for the most accurate body temperature reading. This method is particularly useful when the skin is flushed and warm, as it provides a reliable reflection of core body temperature despite external factors affecting the skin temperature. Axillary temperature may not be as accurate, and arterial line temperature monitoring is invasive and not typically used for routine temperature assessment.

Question 7 of 9
Before rigor mortis occurs, what is the nurse responsible for?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Before rigor mortis occurs, it is essential to place a pillow under the body's head and shoulders to maintain proper positioning. This helps prevent postmortem changes and ensures a more dignified appearance. Providing a complete bath and dressing change, removing clothing, or wrapping the body in a shroud are tasks typically done after rigor mortis sets in or later in the postmortem care process. Allowing the body to relax normally does not address the need for proper positioning before rigor mortis occurs.

Question 9 of 9
Which of the following clusters of data belong to Maslow's hierarchy of needs?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology that categorizes human needs into five levels. These levels, from the most fundamental to the highest, are physiological needs, safety needs, love and belongingness, esteem needs, and self-actualization. Therefore, all the clusters listed in the choices - love and belonging, physiological needs, and self-actualization - correspond to different levels within Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Choosing 'All of the above' (option D) is the correct answer as it includes all the clusters associated with Maslow's theory.
