Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Refused betaxolol' (C) violates good recording; it lacks why or follow-up, per standards (e.g., completeness). A, B, D are specific and clear. C's brevity omits context, making it the violation.

Question 4 of 9
The parathyroid gland is responsible for the secretion of
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The parathyroid secretes PTH e.g., raises calcium unlike thyroxine, calcitonin (thyroid), TSH (pituitary). Nurses assess e.g., calcium for function, per physiology.
Question 5 of 9
The nurse is providing care for a client with a newly applied long leg cast. Which action will help prevent complications with the casted extremity?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Inserting a finger between cast and skin checks circulation, preventing neurovascular issues in a new long leg cast dependent position increases swelling, warmth checks are vague, and ice atop is ineffective. Nurses monitor fit, teaching elevation, ensuring healing without complications.
Question 6 of 9
The nurse is preparing a client with a history of atrial fibrillation for discharge. Which statement by the client indicates that he understood the nurse's teaching regarding warfarin (Coumadin)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting bruising indicates understanding of warfarin's anticoagulant effect, as excessive bleeding is a key risk in atrial fibrillation management, requiring physician oversight reflecting proper teaching. Spinach (high vitamin K) counters warfarin, blood tests (INR) are routine, and dosing is daily, not weekly. Nurses reinforce this vigilance, ensuring clients monitor for bleeding to balance clot prevention with safety.
Question 7 of 9
The nurse is caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy via a Venturi mask. Which assessment finding indicates the need for adjustment of the oxygen flow rate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nasal dryness and discomfort (C) indicate inadequate humidification with a Venturi mask, necessitating flow or humidity adjustment. SpO2 98% (A) and RR 16 (B) are normal. 4 L/min (D) may be correct but doesn't address symptoms. Adjustment, per respiratory care, improves tolerance and efficacy.
Question 8 of 9
This patient care model works best when there are plenty of patient but few nurses
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Functional nursing suits high patient loads with few nurses by assigning specific tasks (e.g., one nurse for meds, another for vitals). This task-oriented efficiency, unlike team nursing's collaboration, primary nursing's continuity, or total care's one-on-one focus, maximizes limited staff. Though it risks fragmented care, its repetitive nature fosters expertise, making it practical in resource-scarce settings.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: End-of-life ethics respects autonomy (A), aims for dignity (B), considers family (D) 'forces treatment' (C) isn't true, honors wishes, per principles. C contradicts patient-centered care, like Mr. Gary's choices, making it untrue.
