Question 1 of 5
Vesicle on the leg
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because a vesicle is a small fluid-filled blister on the skin. Vesicles are commonly caused by friction, burns, or insect bites, resulting in fluid accumulation beneath the skin. Pus is typically associated with larger, infected lesions such as pustules, not vesicles. Choice C and D are likely incorrect as they do not provide relevant information or support for the appearance of a vesicle on the leg.
Question 2 of 5
Nursing informatics, what does USB mean
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Universal Serial Bus. USB is a common interface used to connect devices to a computer. Nursing informatics often involves using various devices that connect via USB. Choice A, Updated System Binary, is incorrect as it does not accurately describe USB. Choices C and D are blank options, making them obviously incorrect. In summary, USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, a widely used interface in nursing informatics for connecting devices to computers.
Question 3 of 5
Sputum collection, wrong
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Clear and light sample. This is because sputum should ideally be clear and light in color, indicating a lower presence of mucus and other contaminants. A cloudy, thick sample (choice A) may indicate an infection or presence of pus. Choices C and D are likely left blank as they are irrelevant or incorrect responses. In summary, a clear and light sputum sample is preferred for accurate testing and diagnosis.
Question 4 of 5
A charge nurse notes that a staff nurse delegates an unfair share of tasks to the assistive personnel (AP) and the nurses on next shift report the staff nurse frequently leaves tasks uncompleted. Which of the following statements should the charge nurse make to resolve this conflict?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: The charge nurse needs to address the issue directly and professionally with the staff nurse. Step 2: Statement A is the correct choice as it focuses on discussing unit expectations regarding delegation and task completion. Step 3: This approach promotes open communication, sets clear expectations, and provides an opportunity for improvement. Step 4: Option B is incorrect as it involves hearsay and does not address the issue directly. Step 5: Option C is not the best approach as it uses a threatening tone instead of fostering a constructive dialogue. Step 6: Option D is judgmental and accusatory, which can escalate the conflict instead of resolving it. Step 7: By choosing statement A, the charge nurse can effectively address the situation and guide the staff nurse towards better delegation and task completion practices.
Question 5 of 5
Maintenance of fluid balance in the patient with ARDS involves
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for choice C being correct: 1. ARDS patients have increased capillary permeability leading to fluid leakage into the lungs. 2. Mild fluid restriction helps prevent fluid overload and pulmonary edema. 3. Diuretics help manage any excess fluid accumulation. 4. Hydration using colloids (choice A) can exacerbate fluid overload. 5. Surfactant (choice B) is used in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, not ARDS. 6. Keeping hemoglobin level >12 g/dL (choice D) is unrelated to fluid balance in ARDS.
