HESI Fundamentals Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

The nursing staff in the cardiovascular intensive care unit is creating a continuous quality improvement project on social media that addresses coronary artery disease (CAD). Which action should the nurse implement to protect client privacy?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To protect client privacy on social media, it is essential to remove any identifying information of clients who participated in the project. This ensures that sensitive information is not disclosed without consent and maintains confidentiality.

Question 2 of 5

A client who is a Jehovah's Witness is admitted to the nursing unit. Which concern should the nurse have for planning care in terms of the client's beliefs?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Blood transfusions are forbidden in the Jehovah's Witness religion. Judaism prohibits autopsy. Buddhism forbids the use of alcohol and drugs. Many of these sects are vegetarian, but the direct impact on nursing care is the prohibition of blood transfusions.

Question 3 of 5

What action should be implemented to prevent the formation of a sacral ulcer for an immobile client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Positioning the client prone with a small pillow below the diaphragm helps maintain proper alignment and provides optimal pressure relief over the sacral area, reducing the risk of developing a pressure ulcer. This position redistributes pressure away from bony prominences, such as the sacrum, which is crucial in preventing ulcer formation in immobile clients.

Question 4 of 5

A male client presents to the clinic stating that he has a high-stress job and is having difficulty falling asleep at night. The client reports having a constant headache and is seeking medication to help him sleep. Which intervention should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Teaching coping strategies is an appropriate first intervention for a client experiencing sleep difficulties and stress. It can help manage stress and improve sleep without immediately resorting to medication. By teaching coping strategies, the nurse empowers the client to address the underlying issues contributing to his sleep problems rather than just providing a temporary solution. Referring for a sleep study and neurological follow-up may be considered later if the client's sleep issues persist despite implementing coping strategies.

Question 5 of 5

A female client's significant other has been at her bedside providing reassurances and support for the past 3 days, as desired by the client. The client's estranged husband arrives and demands that the significant other not be allowed to visit or be given condition updates. Which intervention should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In a situation where a client's estranged husband demands to restrict the visitation of the significant other, it is essential to prioritize the client's wishes while addressing the conflict. Requesting a consultation with the ethics committee is appropriate as it allows for a comprehensive and impartial resolution, ensuring the client's autonomy and well-being are upheld.
