Question 1 of 5
A client who is bleeding profusely from a stab wound is brought to the emergency department. Which type of assessment is most appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Emergency: This type of assessment is rapid and focuses on identifying and treating life-threatening conditions immediately, such as profuse bleeding from a stab wound. Time-lapse: This assessment compares current client data to previous data to assess progress, which is not appropriate for an acute, life-threatening situation. Focused: While this is a detailed assessment of a specific problem area, an emergency assessment is needed first for immediate threats to life. Initial: This is a comprehensive assessment typically conducted when a client first enters a healthcare setting, but in an emergency, the focus shifts to immediate lifesaving measures.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has strained her back muscles while preparing to move to a new apartment. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bend at the knees when picking up an object: This technique helps distribute the weight of the object and reduces strain on the back muscles. Relax her abdominal muscles when she lifts an object: Tensing the abdominal muscles can provide core support, but relaxing them while lifting can increase the risk of injury. Twist at the waist when she moves an object to one side: Twisting at the waist can strain the back muscles and should be avoided. Hold an object away from her body as she lifts it: Holding objects close to the body reduces strain on the back muscles and is a good technique to prevent injury.
Question 3 of 5
Which type of play is most typical of the toddler stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Parallel play: Parallel play is typical of toddlers, where they play alongside each other but do not interact or play directly with each other. This is a key stage in social development where they start to notice peers but prefer independent activities. Cooperative play: Cooperative play involves children playing together with a common goal or activity. This type of play is more typical of older preschoolers and school-age children. Solitary play: Solitary play is common in infants and very young toddlers where they play alone and are not engaged with others. By the toddler stage, children often progress to parallel play. Associative play: Associative play involves children interacting and playing together, but not with a structured goal or organization. This typically develops after parallel play, around the preschool age.
Question 4 of 5
A school nurse is concerned about the almost skeletal appearance of one of the high school students. Although all of the following nutritional problems can occur in adolescents,which one is most often associated with a negative self-concept?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Obesity: While obesity can be linked to a negative self-concept, it is not as closely associated with a 'skeletal appearance' as anorexia nervosa. Fad dieting: Fad dieting may indicate concerns about body image, but it does not typically lead to a skeletal appearance and may not necessarily be tied to a deeply negative self-concept. Anorexia nervosa: Anorexia nervosa is characterized by extreme weight loss and a skeletal appearance. It is often associated with a severely negative self-concept and distorted body image, where individuals see themselves as overweight even when they are underweight. Eating fast foods: While this can lead to poor nutritional habits and weight issues, it does not typically lead to a skeletal appearance and is not directly associated with a negative self-concept.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 12-month-old infant who is brought to the clinic by the parents for a well-child visit. The nurse reviews the infant's health history and notes that the infant weighed $8 \mathrm{lb}$ at birth. When assessing the infant's weight at this visit,the nurse would anticipate that the infant would weigh approximately how much at this time?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 20 lbs: This is a plausible estimate. By 12 months, an infant's birth weight typically triples.
Therefore, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would approximately translate to $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 32 lbs: This estimate is too high. If an infant's birth weight triples by 12 months, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would not be expected to reach 32 lbs. 24 lbs: An infant's weight usually triples by their first birthday.
Therefore, an infant born weighing $8 \mathrm{lbs}$ would be expected to weigh about $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 16 lbs: This is an underestimate. An $8 \mathrm{lb}$ infant would double their birth weight by about 4 to 6 months, and by 12 months, they would typically have tripled their birth weight to around $24 \mathrm{lbs}$.
