Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse overhears a newly licensed nurse providing instructions to a female client on the proper steps to collect a midstream urine specimen. Which of the following statements made by the newly licensed nurse requires the charge nurse to intervene?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Using the provided towelette to cleanse the area by moving in a back-and-forth motion is incorrect and requires intervention. The proper technique for cleansing the area involves using the towelette to wipe from front to back in a single, continuous motion to reduce the risk of introducing bacteria.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is obtaining a history on a patient with a diagnosis of bladder cancer. Which of the following would the nurse expect to find in the patient's history?

Rationale:
Tobacco use is a well-known risk factor for bladder cancer. Carcinogens in tobacco are excreted in the urine, increasing the likelihood of developing bladder cancer.
Question 3 of 5
For the 0700 to 1500 shift, the patient drinks 240 mL of coffee, 60 mL of milk, and 120 mL of apple juice at breakfast. For lunch, the patient takes 8 oz of broth and drinks 10 oz of water for the shift. What is the total intake for the 0700 to 1500 shift?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To calculate total intake: 240 mL (coffee) + 60 mL (milk) + 120 mL (apple juice) + 8 oz (broth) * 30 mL/oz = 240 mL + 10 oz (water) * 30 mL/oz = 300 mL.
Total = 240 + 60 + 120 + 240 + 300 = 960 mL. The provided correct answer is B (660), suggesting a possible error in the document, but based on calculation, 960 mL is accurate. However, adhering to the document, B is selected.
