Essentials Of Nursing Client Safety Questions
Question 1 of 5
Patient with a macule on the arm.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Birthmark. A macule is a flat, discolored spot on the skin that is smaller than 1 cm in diameter. Birthmarks are common pigmented or vascular skin lesions present at birth or appearing shortly after. Birthmarks are typically macules and can be various colors. In this case, the macule on the arm of the patient is likely a birthmark due to its appearance and location. Other choices are incorrect as they do not align with the characteristics of a birthmark or a macule.
Question 2 of 5
Direct contact, correct
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, intercourse with someone. Direct contact refers to physical contact between individuals that allows for the transmission of infectious agents, such as through sexual intercourse. Touching the patient's stuff (choice A) may lead to indirect contact transmission but not direct contact transmission as specified in the question. Choice C and D are not provided, so they are automatically incorrect. In summary, the correct answer is B because it involves direct physical contact that can transmit infectious agents, while the other choices are unrelated or do not meet the criteria for direct contact transmission.
Question 3 of 5
You removed your sweater and started sweating. What type of heat transfer is this:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Conduction. When you remove your sweater and start sweating, the heat transfer is through conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects or substances. In this scenario, your body's heat is transferred to the surrounding air through direct contact, causing you to sweat. Radiation (choice A) involves heat transfer through electromagnetic waves, which is not applicable in this case. Choices C and D are not relevant to the situation described.
Question 4 of 5
Suctioning procedure
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: Oxygenate the patient after suctioning to prevent hypoxia. Step 2: Suctioning can cause temporary oxygen desaturation. Step 3: Providing oxygen post-suctioning helps restore oxygen levels. Step 4: Choice A is correct as it emphasizes patient safety and well-being. Summary: Choice A is correct because oxygenation post-suctioning is crucial to prevent hypoxia. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not address the importance of oxygenation in the suctioning procedure.
