Question 1 of 5
Upon admission when orienting a client who has been blind since birth to the hospital room, which activity by the nurse would be appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Orienting verbally and physically, describing equipment, and placing signs ensure safety and independence for a blind client. Leaving lights on is irrelevant and may disrupt sleep.
Question 2 of 5
While assessing a client's lower extremities, a nurse notices that one leg is pale and cooler to the touch. Which assessment should the nurse perform next?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Localized, decreased skin temperature and pallor indicate interference with vascular flow to the region. The nurse should assess bilateral pedal pulses to screen for vascular sufficiency. Without adequate blood flow, the client's limb could be threatened.
