Correct Answer: A, B
Rationale:
Correct Answer: A, B
Rationale:
A: Making sure the surgeon obtained the client's consent is crucial to ensure the client is fully aware and has given permission for the procedure.
B: Witnessing the client's signature on the consent form verifies that the client voluntarily and knowingly consented to the surgery.

Question 2 of 5
Charge nurse is designating room assignments for clients. Based on her knowledge of fall prevention, which should be assigned to room closest to nursing station?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 79 yo client post-op following below-the-knee amputation. This client is at highest risk for falls due to mobility impairment after surgery. Placing them closest to the nursing station allows for closer monitoring and quick assistance if needed.
Choice A is less critical as laparoscopic cholecystectomy typically has lower fall risk.
Choice B, telemetry for MI, may require immediate intervention but not necessarily closer proximity.
Choice C, ankle surgery, may have mobility limitations but generally less severe than an amputation.
Question 3 of 5
Nurse uses head-to-toe approach to conduct physical assessment of a client who will undergo surgery in 1 week. Which of following attitudes did nurse demonstrate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: discipline. In this scenario, the nurse using a head-to-toe approach demonstrates discipline by following a systematic method to ensure no area is overlooked. This approach helps in gathering comprehensive data for the surgery. Confidence (
A) is important but not directly related to the method used. Perseverance (
B) and integrity (
C) are valuable traits but not specifically demonstrated in this context.
Question 4 of 5
A mother tells nurse that her 2 yo has temper tantrums. Child says 'no' every time mother tries to help her get dressed. Nurse explains that developmentally the toddler is...
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Trying to gain her independence. At the age of 2, children begin to assert their independence and autonomy. By refusing help and saying 'no', the child is exhibiting typical behavior for their developmental stage. This is a sign of their growing independence and desire to do things on their own.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with typical developmental milestones for a 2-year-old. Developing a sense of trust and anger management usually occur later in development, and attempting to finish a project is not a relevant behavior for a toddler.
Question 5 of 5
A home health nurse is discussing dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning with client. Which of following info should nurse include in her counseling?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Carbon monoxide binds with Hgb in the body. This is crucial information to include in counseling as carbon monoxide binds with hemoglobin in the blood, reducing the blood's ability to carry oxygen. This can lead to tissue hypoxia and potentially fatal consequences.
Choice A is incorrect because carbon monoxide is odorless.
Choice B is not directly related to carbon monoxide poisoning prevention.
Choice C is not the primary mechanism of harm from carbon monoxide poisoning.
