Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions
Question 1 of 9
The nurse is caring for 4 clients. Which of these clients will the nurse see first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because sudden and increasing pain in a fractured arm indicates a potential complication that requires immediate attention to assess and manage. Choices A, B, and D do not present immediate life-threatening situations or emergent needs compared to sudden and increasing pain in a fractured arm, which takes priority to ensure the client's safety and comfort.
Question 2 of 9
What is correct about a nursing diagnosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about individual, family, or community responses to actual or potential health problems or life processes. Choice A is correct because it identifies nursing diagnosis as related to human responses to health conditions or life processes. Choice B is incorrect because nursing diagnoses can change as the patient's condition changes. Choice C is incorrect because a nursing diagnosis is about responses, not just identifying pathology. Choice D is incorrect because a nursing diagnosis is not the same as a disease, illness, or injury; it is a statement about the patient's response to these conditions.

Question 6 of 9
What is a priority intervention when caring for a client in Buck's traction?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is to assess skin integrity when caring for a client in Buck's traction. This is crucial as it helps prevent pressure ulcers and other skin-related complications. Choice A is incorrect because changing the size of the traction weights should be done based on healthcare provider orders, not as needed. Choice B is incorrect because discontinuing traction should be done only under healthcare provider direction, not solely based on pain relief. Choice C is incorrect as allowing the traction weights to rest on the floor is not a priority intervention compared to assessing skin integrity.
Question 7 of 9
What are nonsurgical treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'All of the above.' Non-surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome include using a splint, ultrasound therapy, corticosteroid injections, and NSAIDs. Choice A is correct as using a splint helps to keep the wrist in a neutral position, reducing pressure on the median nerve. Choice B is correct as ultrasound therapy can help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. Choice C, 'Endoscopic carpal tunnel release,' is incorrect as it is a surgical procedure, not a nonsurgical treatment option for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Question 8 of 9
The goal for a client with impaired mobility is to prevent atelectasis. What nursing intervention would best help the client meet this goal?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assisting the client to the orthopneic position is the best nursing intervention to help prevent atelectasis. This position improves lung expansion by allowing the chest to expand fully, aiding in the prevention of atelectasis. Offering a protein-rich diet (choice B) is important for overall nutrition but does not directly address preventing atelectasis. Offering a bedpan for toileting (choice C) and turning the client every 4 hours (choice D) are important for preventing pressure ulcers in immobile clients but do not directly prevent atelectasis.
Question 9 of 9
On inspection, which client does the nurse suspect of having a visual impairment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
