COPD Patient Care Question Questions
Question 1 of 5
The care of which of the following clients can the nurse safely delegate to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An elderly client with hypertension and noncompliance can be safely delegated to a UAP. Routine tasks (e.g., vitals, hygiene) suit UAP scope, and the condition is stable. PVD with ulcers , pre-op asthma , and TIA with dizziness require RN assessment. C ensures safety, making it delegable.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse has been teaching adult clients about cardiac risks when they visit the hypertension clinic. Which evaluation data would best measure learning?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Reported behavioral changes best measure cardiac risk learning. Applying knowledge (e.g., diet, exercise) reduces hypertension, per adult learning theory, outweighing recall (A, B) or survey . D reflects outcome, making it the top evaluation.
Question 3 of 5
While caring for a client, the nurse notes a pulsating mass in the client's periumbilical area. Which of the following assessments is appropriate for the nurse to perform?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Auscultating the mass is appropriate for a pulsating periumbilical mass, likely an aortic aneurysm. Listening for bruits assesses rupture risk, guiding urgent care. Measuring or percussing adds little; palpation risks rupture. B prioritizes safety, making it the best assessment.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a 69 year-old client with a diagnosis of hyperglycemia. Which tasks could the nurse delegate to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Checking skin condition of lower extremities can be delegated to a UAP. It's observational, within scope, unlike unclear 'check' , teaching , or monitoring , which need RN skill. D supports care safely.
Question 5 of 5
The charge nurse is planning assignments on a medical unit. Which client should be assigned to the practical nurse (PN)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Irrigating and redressing a leg wound suits a PN. It's within scope, unlike stool testing , chest tube , or admission , needing RN skill. C matches PN abilities.
