Question 2 of 5
The nursing assistant tells you that a patient who is receiving oxygen at a flow rate of 6 L/min by nasal cannula is complaining of nasal passage discomfort. What intervention should you suggest to improve the patient's comfort for this problem?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Humidifying the oxygen can help alleviate nasal discomfort caused by the drying effect of high-flow oxygen. Sitting up or using an extra pillow may improve comfort but will not address the dryness caused by the oxygen flow. Switching to a face mask is not necessary unless the patient requires a higher oxygen concentration.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse manager is reviewing the admission history of four adults who were admitted to the medical-surgical unit during the shift. Which of the following situations is the nurse required to disclose information to an outside agency about the client or the client's circumstances?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Physical signs of dependent adult abuse include skeletal fractures, as well as burns, bruises, welts, and lacerations. Nurses are responsible for reporting suspicion of dependent adult abuse to the proper legal authorities within the state. It is important for the nurse to note that a competent older adult has the right to make his or her own decisions about pursuing legal action. Unless a client has been found to be legally incompetent, he or she is not classified as a dependent adult.
