Skin Integrity and Wound Care Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is a member of an interdisciplinary committee whose goal is to develop a culturally and linguistically competent organization. Which action by the committee would help to meet this goal?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Systemic change needs vision. A mission statement , per organizational theory, sets a competence goal (e.g., equity focus), guiding policy. Department plans or employee efforts are fragmented. Experience doesn't ensure competence. This unifies efforts, making it the correct action.
Question 2 of 5
What action can a nurse take to reduce biases in nurse-client interactions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bias reduction requires self-awareness. Reflecting on how background influences perception , per Campinha-Bacote's model, helps nurses identify and counter biases (e.g., stereotypes about pain tolerance), improving care equity. Past encounters reinforce stereotypes. Explaining values shifts focus to the nurse. Limiting interactions avoids growth. Reflection aligns with cultural humility, actively reducing unfair treatment, making this the correct action for nurses to take.
Question 3 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 4 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 5 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.
