Skin Integrity NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which action is the nurse performing when they show a preference for members of their social identity group, leading to a more positive evaluation of individuals within their own group?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Social psychology explains group preferences. In-group favoritism occurs when nurses favor their own identity group (e.g., same ethnicity), per cultural competence texts, potentially skewing care (e.g., more patience with similar clients). Out-group homogeneity assumes outsiders are alike. Confirmation bias seeks supporting evidence. Limited interactions isn't an action. Nurses must recognize this to ensure equity, making it the correct action being performed.
Question 2 of 5
A hospital wishes to implement bar coding in an effort to reduce errors during medication administration. Which of the following would be most helpful during initial design of the new process?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Design needs workflow insight. Observing nurses , per the test and Lean principles, reveals real-time barcoding challenges (e.g., scanning barriers), informing process fit. Physician surveys miss administration. Patient focus groups or CNO interviews lack frontline detail. Observation drives usability, making it the correct choice.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a client and has enlisted the help of a trained interpreter to assist in communicating with the client. Which action would the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Interpreters must focus on language. Speaking privately to limit to interpretation , per the rationale, aligns with CLAS Standards, ensuring accuracy without advice. Apps miss nuance. Continuing unchecked risks errors. Documenting falsely misrepresents. This upholds client autonomy and communication rights, making it correct.
Question 4 of 5
A client has a wound with a moderate amount of drainage and is scheduled for a dressing change. Which dressing, if selected by the student nurse, requires further intervention by the nursing instructor?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Drainage needs absorption. Semipermeable film , per wound care guidelines, suits minimal exudate, not moderate, risking leakage and infection. Foam and alginate absorb well. Hydrocolloid manages light-to-moderate but seals less effectively here. The instructor intervenes to ensure proper exudate management, critical for healing, making this the dressing needing correction.
Question 5 of 5
The registered nurse (RN) directs the licensed practical nurse (LPN) to assist with the care of a client who has a sacral pressure injury. Which is the most appropriate activity for the RN to delegate to the LPN?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: LPN scope includes basic care. Positioning , per nursing delegation standards (e.g., NCSBN), suits LPN skills, aiding pressure relief. Initiating protocols or determining plans (Choice D, incomplete) require RN judgment. Meeting (Choice C, incomplete) is vague but likely RN-level. Delegation optimizes care safely, making this the most appropriate activity.
