Question 2 of 9

The nurse is assessing a client who had a cast placed 4 hours ago. What assessment finding is cause for concern?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 3 of 9

What medication class can decrease tissue inflammation but delays bone healing?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs are known to decrease tissue inflammation but may delay bone healing. Anticoagulants (Choice A) are used to prevent blood clotting, opioids (Choice C) are pain relievers, and narcotics (Choice D) are drugs that affect the central nervous system. While all the choices may have their own indications and uses in healthcare, NSAIDs are specifically associated with delaying bone healing despite their anti-inflammatory properties.

Question 4 of 9

What is the priority nursing diagnosis for a client with metastatic bone disease?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Risk for falls.' In clients with metastatic bone disease, weakened bones can lead to an increased risk of falls, making it a priority nursing diagnosis. Chronic pain (choice A) may be present but addressing the risk for falls is more critical in this situation. While impaired mobility (choice B) can be a consequence of metastatic bone disease, preventing falls takes precedence. Risk for infection (choice D) is not the priority in this case, as falls pose a more immediate threat to the client's safety.

Question 5 of 9

What finding is often present in a client with osteoporosis?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Kyphosis is a common finding in osteoporosis due to vertebral compression fractures. Chronic pain (Choice A) can occur in osteoporosis but is not a specific finding. Dupuytren's contracture (Choice B) is a condition affecting hand fingers' connective tissue, not typically associated with osteoporosis. Inflammation (Choice C) is not a typical finding in osteoporosis but rather a characteristic of other conditions.

Question 6 of 9

A client has sustained an open fracture. What nursing intervention will best prevent osteomyelitis in this client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Proper hand hygiene is crucial in preventing infections such as osteomyelitis in clients with open fractures. Keeping the hands clean helps reduce the risk of introducing harmful pathogens to the wound site. Delegating all client personal care to specific unlicensed assistive personnel (Choice A) is not appropriate as direct involvement in wound care is essential in preventing infections. Placing the client in contact precautions (Choice B) is not directly related to preventing osteomyelitis in this context. Administering pain medication (Choice D) is important for managing the client's pain but does not directly address the prevention of osteomyelitis.

Question 7 of 9

What should be done immediately after an ankle injury?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Rest, ice, compress, and elevate the ankle. After an ankle injury, it is essential to follow the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) for immediate treatment. Resting the injured ankle helps prevent further damage, applying ice reduces swelling and pain, compression with a bandage provides support and helps control swelling, and elevating the ankle above heart level reduces swelling by allowing fluid to drain away from the injury site. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because heating, incubating, or confining the ankle can worsen the injury by increasing swelling and inflammation instead of reducing them.

Question 8 of 9

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
