Question 1 of 5

Will you attend the Regional Nursing Meeting to obtain the Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) unit for this Health & Safety Alert?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Nurses seeking CNE credits would likely attend for professional growth tied to the alert. Attending regardless splits intent. No or not a nurse opts out, less likely for engaged nurses. Choice A is correct, as CNE motivates attendance, per nursing licensure requirements, assuming interest in the topic.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client's body temperature and obtains a reading of 102°F (38.9°C). What action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A temperature of 102°F (38.9°C) indicates fever but isn't immediately critical unless accompanied by severe symptoms. Documenting and monitoring allows tracking without overreaction. Antipyretics require orders and symptom context, not just one reading. Cool compresses offer comfort but don't address the cause. Notifying the provider is premature without additional concerns. Choice B is correct, per the explanation and nursing protocol, emphasizing observation over intervention for a moderate fever in stable patients.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client's oxygen saturation and obtains a reading of 92%. What action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

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

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following is an average normal temperature in Centigrade for a healthy adult?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Oral 37.0°C is the average normal adult temperature, per the answer key, aligning with 98.6°F. Rectal is typically 0.5°C higher (37.5°C), axillary 0.5°C lower (36.5°C), and tympanic varies but isn't 34.4°C (too low). Oral is standard for its balance of accuracy and convenience, a nursing benchmark for assessing normothermia.
