COPD Patient Care Question Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing several clients in a long term health care facility. Which client is at highest risk for development of decubitus ulcers?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A 79-year-old malnourished client on bed rest is at highest risk for decubitus ulcers. Malnutrition impairs tissue repair, and immobility increases pressure on bony prominences. Obesity adds pressure but mobility reduces risk. Incontinence risks skin breakdown, but less than A's factors. Ambulatory status lowers risk. A combines critical risk factors, making it the highest priority.
Question 2 of 5
An RN from the women's health clinic is temporarily reassigned to a medical-surgical unit. Which of these client assignments would be most appropriate for this nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A newly diagnosed diabetic learning foot care suits an RN from women's health. Education aligns with clinic skills, unlike ortho , diagnostics , or oncology . A leverages expertise, making it the best assignment.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse has been teaching adult clients about cardiac risks when they visit the hypertension clinic. Which evaluation data would best measure learning?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Reported behavioral changes best measure cardiac risk learning. Applying knowledge (e.g., diet, exercise) reduces hypertension, per adult learning theory, outweighing recall (A, B) or survey . D reflects outcome, making it the top evaluation.
Question 4 of 5
While caring for a client, the nurse notes a pulsating mass in the client's periumbilical area. Which of the following assessments is appropriate for the nurse to perform?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Auscultating the mass is appropriate for a pulsating periumbilical mass, likely an aortic aneurysm. Listening for bruits assesses rupture risk, guiding urgent care. Measuring or percussing adds little; palpation risks rupture. B prioritizes safety, making it the best assessment.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a 69 year-old client with a diagnosis of hyperglycemia. Which tasks could the nurse delegate to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Checking skin condition of lower extremities can be delegated to a UAP. It's observational, within scope, unlike unclear 'check' , teaching , or monitoring , which need RN skill. D supports care safely.
