Use all the steps.)
Correct Answer:
Rationale: Correct Answer: B, A, C Rationale: 1. Confine the fire: This step is crucial to prevent the fire from spreading and causing more damage or harm. 2. Pull the fire alarm: Alerting others and activating the fire alarm will ensure a prompt evacuation and summon the fire department. 3. Extinguish the fire: Only attempt to extinguish the fire if it is safe to do so and within your capabilities. Summary of incorrect choices: - Option A: Pulling the fire alarm should be done before attempting to extinguish the fire to ensure the safety of everyone. - Option C: Attempting to extinguish the fire before confining it may lead to the fire spreading and becoming out of control.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is providing care for a group of clients. The nurse should delegate collection of which of the following specimens to the assistive personnel (AP)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Delegating the collection of a random stool specimen to assistive personnel is appropriate because it is a non-invasive procedure that does not require specialized training. The AP can simply provide the client with a specimen container and instruct them on how to collect the sample. The other choices involve more invasive procedures or specific skills that should be performed by licensed healthcare providers. A: Collection of wound drainage for culture requires sterile technique. B: Collection of urine from an indwelling catheter involves proper technique to prevent infection. C: Collection of blood for PaCO2 requires venipuncture skills and knowledge of blood gas analysis.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse has received change-of-shift report and is delegating tasks to the AP. Which task should the AP complete first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Perform blood glucose monitoring of a client prior to breakfast. This task should be completed first as it involves assessing a client's immediate health status and can impact the client's treatment plan for the day. Monitoring blood glucose levels is crucial for clients with diabetes to ensure proper management of their condition. Choices B, C, and D are not as time-sensitive or critical as blood glucose monitoring. Applying a condom catheter, feeding a client, and delivering a urine specimen can be done after assessing the client's blood glucose levels to prioritize the client's immediate health needs.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing care for a surgeon on a medical-surgical unit. A nurse from another unit asks the nurse about the surgeon's medical diagnosis. The nurse responds that he is unable to provide the information requested. The nurse is displaying which of the following ethical principles?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Nonmaleficence. The nurse is displaying the ethical principle of nonmaleficence by refusing to disclose the surgeon's medical diagnosis without consent, as it could potentially harm the surgeon's privacy and confidentiality. Nonmaleficence emphasizes the obligation to avoid causing harm or injury to others. By respecting the surgeon's right to privacy, the nurse is upholding this principle. A: Utility is the principle of maximizing benefits for the greatest number of people, which is not relevant in this scenario. B: Paternalism involves making decisions for others based on what is believed to be in their best interest, but in this case, the nurse is respecting the surgeon's autonomy. C: Justice is about fairness and equal treatment, which is not directly applicable to the nurse's response in this situation.
Question 5 of 5
An assistive personnel (AP) reports to the nurse that a client who is 3 days postoperative following an abdominal hysterectomy has a dressing that is saturated with blood. Which of the following tasks should the nurse delegate to the AP?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Obtain vital signs. The priority in this situation is to assess the client's vital signs to determine the severity of the bleeding and the client's overall condition. The AP can assist by obtaining vital signs, which is within their scope of practice and does not require interpretation. Changing the abdominal dressing (A) should be done by a nurse to assess the wound and control bleeding. Palpating for bladder distention (C) and observing the incision site (D) require more specialized assessment skills and should be done by the nurse.
