Skin Integrity and Wound Care Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse critically examines their practice to decrease the influence of privilege when providing care to clients in a low-income area. Which statement does the nurse understand to be a critical aspect of privilege in nursing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Privilege shapes care. Acknowledging it , per social justice frameworks, reveals advantages (e.g., education, race) affecting low-income clients, addressing disparities. Denying influence or limiting to SES ignores complexity. No impact is false. This drives equity, making it the correct aspect.
Question 2 of 5
If you identify a clinical concern that has the potential to cause patient harm, what is the best way to ensure there will be appropriate evaluation of that concern?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Incident reporting triggers investigation. Filing a NETS report , per the test, systematically tracks and analyzes safety events per health system policy, ensuring follow-up. Supervisor contact or CEO notification may escalate but lack structure. M&M educates, not investigates. NETS enables data-driven solutions, like fixing equipment flaws, making it the correct way.
Question 3 of 5
A hospital is struggling to improve patient satisfaction/HCAPS scores... The best approach is to
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Engagement seeks solutions. Suggesting alternatives to your supervisor , per the test, opens dialogue for better strategies (e.g., workflow fixes), addressing burnout collaboratively. Silence avoids change. Complaints delegate. CEO talks bypass command. This balances voice and action, making it the correct approach.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with bacterial pneumonia and a temperature of 104°F (40.0°C). Yesterday, the client's temperature was 102°F (38.9°C). The health care provider on call prescribes cool compresses for the client to help lower the fever. The client insists that the nurse bring warm blankets because they will help the client to recover more quickly. The nurse recognizes that the client's request is an example of:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Client beliefs reflect culture. Requesting warm blankets is a ritual, per nursing texts, possibly tied to traditional healing (e.g., sweating out illness). Stereotyping is nurse assumption, not client action. Competence is nurse skill. No Choice D exists. This cultural ritual guides respectful care, making it correct.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing to provide wound care to a client with a stage 1 pressure injury. Which dressing would the nurse expect to be prescribed in the treatment of this wound?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Stage 1 injuries are intact. Transparent dressing , per Braden Scale care, protects non-open skin (red, no breakdown) while allowing monitoring. Hydrogel adds moisture for open wounds. Antimicrobial targets infection, unneeded here. Alginate suits heavy drainage. Transparency preserves integrity and prevents progression, making it the expected choice.
