Question 1 of 5
An African client has been diagnosed with Osteomyelitis. The nurse expects to assess which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone often caused by bacteria. When a client is diagnosed with Osteomyelitis, the nurse would expect to assess for positive wound cultures. This means that the wound site is likely to show growth of infectious organisms, confirming the presence of infection in the bone. A positive wound culture result helps guide appropriate antibiotic therapy to treat the infection effectively. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate assessment finding to expect in a client diagnosed with Osteomyelitis.

Question 4 of 5
What should the client at risk for developing AIDS be advised to do?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The client at risk for developing AIDS, which is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), should be advised to have an ELISA test for antibodies to check for the presence of the virus. ELISA is a standard blood test used for HIV screening because it can detect antibodies produced by the body in response to HIV infection. Early detection through testing is crucial to initiate treatment interventions and prevent further transmission of the virus. It is important for the client to undergo this test to determine their HIV status and receive appropriate medical care and support.
Question 5 of 5
The home health nurse asks a child's mother many questions as part of the assessment. The mother answers many questions, then stops and says, "I don't know why you ask me all this. Who gets to know this information?" The nurse should take which action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action for the nurse to take in this situation is to explain who will have access to the information. This can help build trust with the child's mother and alleviate any concerns she may have about the confidentiality of the information shared during the assessment. By explaining clearly who will have access to the information and how it will be used, the nurse can address the mother's concerns and ensure that she feels comfortable sharing necessary information for the child's care. This open communication is essential in building a supportive and trusting relationship between the nurse and the child's mother.
