Question 1 of 9

A nurse is assessing a client with hallux valgus. What is another term for this assessment finding?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Hallux valgus is commonly known as a bunion, which is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. A) Thoracic deformity is unrelated to hallux valgus. C) A corn is a thickened area of skin on the foot, not synonymous with hallux valgus. D) Metacarpal involvement refers to the hand, not the foot where hallux valgus occurs.

Question 2 of 9

The provider orders the client to be placed in a high-Fowler's position. At what angle will the nurse position the client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 90 degrees. In a high-Fowler's position, the client's head of the bed is raised to a 90-degree angle. This positioning helps improve breathing and facilitates eating and talking. Choice A, 15 degrees, is incorrect as it is not high enough to be considered a high-Fowler's position. Choice B, 0 degrees, is incorrect as it represents a flat or supine position. Choice D, 30 degrees, is also incorrect as it does not meet the criteria for a high-Fowler's position.

Question 7 of 9

What is a priority intervention when caring for a client in Buck's traction?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is to assess skin integrity when caring for a client in Buck's traction. This is crucial as it helps prevent pressure ulcers and other skin-related complications. Choice A is incorrect because changing the size of the traction weights should be done based on healthcare provider orders, not as needed. Choice B is incorrect because discontinuing traction should be done only under healthcare provider direction, not solely based on pain relief. Choice C is incorrect as allowing the traction weights to rest on the floor is not a priority intervention compared to assessing skin integrity.

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 9 of 9

The nurse is caring for 4 clients. Which of these clients will the nurse see first?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because sudden and increasing pain in a fractured arm indicates a potential complication that requires immediate attention to assess and manage. Choices A, B, and D do not present immediate life-threatening situations or emergent needs compared to sudden and increasing pain in a fractured arm, which takes priority to ensure the client's safety and comfort.
