Question 1 of 5
The unique ability of the client to understand and integrate health-related knowledge is known as:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Health literacy is the correct answer because it specifically refers to the ability to understand and apply health information to make informed decisions about one's health. Basic literacy (A) is just fundamental reading and writing skills, not specific to health. Medical literacy (C) focuses more on understanding medical terminology and concepts, not necessarily health-related knowledge. Consumer literacy (D) pertains to understanding consumer rights and responsibilities, not health information integration. Therefore, health literacy best captures the unique ability to comprehend and utilize health-related knowledge effectively.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer ibuprofen to a client for pain relief. The client is diagnosed with a bleeding disorder. What should the nurse do?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Contact the healthcare provider (HCP). Administering ibuprofen to a client with a bleeding disorder can worsen the bleeding due to its antiplatelet effects. The nurse should contact the HCP to discuss alternative pain relief options that are safe for the client. Administering the medication (A) is not safe in this situation, administering with food (B) will not mitigate the risk, and asking the client if the medication is desired (D) does not address the potential harm it can cause. Contacting the HCP ensures the client's safety and appropriate care.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following client situations is appropriate to delegate to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because feeding assistance is a task that can be safely delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) as long as the client does not have any swallowing difficulties. UAPs are trained to provide basic care and assistance with activities of daily living. In this case, feeding is a routine task that does not require specialized nursing knowledge or assessment skills. Choices B, C, and D involve tasks that require nursing assessment, critical thinking, and potentially specialized skills, and therefore should not be delegated to UAPs. Choice B involves potential infection control risks and requires knowledge of catheter care. Choice C involves assessing a client's condition, which requires nursing judgment. Choice D involves discussing discharge planning and services, which requires nursing knowledge and communication skills.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is precepting a nursing student during a clinical rotation. What statement made by the student would warrant further education?

Rationale: Nursing standards are mandatory, not optional, so the statement that they 'may be incorporated if the nurse chooses' indicates a need for further education.
Question 5 of 5
