Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The most appropriate nursing action when a postpartum client presents with persistent, severe headache, photophobia, and altered mental status is to notify the healthcare provider immediately. These symptoms could be indicative of serious conditions such as postpartum preeclampsia or postpartum eclampsia, both of which require prompt medical evaluation and intervention. Delaying medical attention in such cases can lead to severe complications for the mother. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize the client's safety and well-being by quickly involving the healthcare provider for further assessment and management.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The "Rights of Medication Administration" include the following fundamental principles to ensure safe medication administration: right patient, right medication, right dosage, right route, right time, and right documentation. The price of the medication is not a part of these essential rights. These rights help to prevent medication errors and ensure that patients receive the correct medication in the correct way.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When planning for Jose's oxygen therapy, the nurse should consider the need for a humidifier to prevent drying of the mucous membranes, the appropriate length of tubing for mobility and safety reasons, and the manner of administering oxygen (continuous or intermittent) based on Jose's condition and oxygen requirements. However, determining Jose's age is not a relevant factor in planning for his oxygen therapy. The decision-making process should be based on his specific medical needs and condition rather than his age.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct charting rule to keep the nurse legally safe is to document worries and all concerns as verbalized by the patient (Choice I). This is important for accurately reflecting the patient's condition, communication, and potential interventions. Charting at the end of the shift only (Choice II) is not recommended as it can lead to missed important details or delayed documentation. Discussing recorded cases and diagnoses of the patient (Choice III) breaches patient confidentiality and violates HIPAA laws. Recording all information verbalized by the patient and family (Choice IV) may include unnecessary details and could potentially lead to misinterpretation or misunderstanding, which might not be legally advantageous.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Attrition is the dental condition characterized by the abnormal wearing away of tooth structure due to factors such as bruxism (grinding or clenching of teeth) or acidic erosion. Bruxism can cause tooth-to-tooth contact that leads to the wearing down of the tooth enamel and eventually can affect deeper layers of the tooth. Acidic erosion, on the other hand, is caused by the direct contact of teeth with acidic substances, which can lead to the gradual loss of tooth structure over time. Dental caries refers to tooth decay caused by bacteria, abrasion involves wearing away of tooth structure due to external factors like improper brushing habits, and erosion specifically relates to the loss of tooth structure caused by acidic substances.
