Client Safety Alternatives to Restraints Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

Maintenance of fluid balance in the patient with ARDS involves

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for choice C being correct: 1. ARDS patients have increased capillary permeability leading to fluid leakage into the lungs. 2. Mild fluid restriction helps prevent fluid overload and pulmonary edema. 3. Diuretics help manage any excess fluid accumulation. 4. Hydration using colloids (choice A) can exacerbate fluid overload. 5. Surfactant (choice B) is used in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, not ARDS. 6. Keeping hemoglobin level >12 g/dL (choice D) is unrelated to fluid balance in ARDS.

Question 2 of 5

Oral temperature, best

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (Under tongue) for taking oral temperature. This method is widely used and recommended for its accuracy and convenience. Placing the thermometer under the tongue ensures direct contact with saliva, providing a more accurate reflection of core body temperature. Taking temperature in the gums (A) may not provide as reliable results due to variations in saliva production and positioning. No information is given for choices C and D.

Question 3 of 5

What is the leading cause of injury-related deaths in adults 65 and older?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Falls. Older adults are at higher risk of falls due to factors like decreased balance and mobility. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths in this age group. Violence (B) is less common, alcoholism (C) is a health issue but not the leading cause of injury-related deaths, and MVAs (D) are more common in younger age groups.

Question 4 of 5

the environment is warm

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because in a warm environment, the body needs to cool itself to maintain a stable internal temperature. This process is called thermoregulation. Sweating and vasodilation are mechanisms the body uses to release heat and cool down. Choice B is incorrect as the body does not need to warm itself in a warm environment. Choices C and D are incomplete and do not offer a logical explanation related to the situation given.

Question 5 of 5

Skin care, correct

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Leave the pimple. Pinching a pimple can lead to inflammation, scarring, and further spread of bacteria. Leaving the pimple allows it to heal naturally, reducing the risk of complications. It is important to practice gentle skincare to promote healthy skin and avoid causing damage or irritation. Other choices are incorrect as they involve actions that can harm the skin and worsen the condition.
