Question 1 of 5

A client with massive chest and head injuries is admitted to the ICU from the Emergency Department. All of the following are true except:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: While the physician plays a crucial role in the process of organ donation, they are not the sole decision-maker. The client's legally responsible party may make the decision for organ donation if the client is unable to do so. Additionally, the organ procurement organization is responsible for determining which organs are suitable for donation.
Therefore, the statement that the physician in charge is the sole person allowed to decide whether organ donation can occur is incorrect. The correct answer is A.

Choices B, C, and D are true statements as they highlight the involvement of the legally responsible party, the organ procurement organization, and the donor/legally responsible party, physician, and organ-procurement organization in the organ donation process respectively.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse has a client who is being transferred to another floor right around change of shift. Which of the following actions is least appropriate?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The least appropriate action in this scenario is to ask the new nurse to take care of the transfer without providing a full handoff of care. It is crucial to ensure a safe handoff during the transfer to maintain continuity of care and patient safety. Informing the staff on the other floor of any unresolved issues with the client (
Choice
A) is important for the client's well-being as it helps in providing comprehensive care. Asking the charge nurse about overtime (
Choice
B) demonstrates consideration for completing the task effectively, but it should not take precedence over ensuring a proper handoff. Completing the transfer paperwork before the client is transferred (
Choice
D) is necessary to ensure all documentation is in order, but it should be done in conjunction with providing a thorough handoff of care to the new nurse.

Question 3 of 5

The home health nurse has made a visit to an 85-year-old female client's home who has recently had surgery to replace her left knee. The client has been discharged from a rehab facility and has been able to walk on her own. The nurse assesses the need for teaching related to fall prevention. What should the nurse include in this teaching plan?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is to instruct the client to remove all scatter rugs from the floor and minimize clutter. Rugs and clutter are common causes of falls in the home, especially for the elderly or those with gait issues. Removing them can significantly reduce the risk of falls. While having a raised toilet seat and grab bars in the bathroom is important for safety, it is not the priority in this scenario. The client should not limit her movement within the home unless specifically advised by the physician, as maintaining mobility is essential for recovery. Lastly, the client should avoid wearing robes and socks while walking in the house to prevent tripping, slipping, or falling on slippery floors.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following substances need to be assessed when completing a family health assessment?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: When completing a family health assessment, it is essential to assess all substances consumed by family members, including coffee, tea, cola, cocoa, alcohol, tobacco, illegal substances, and medicines prescribed by a physician. Understanding the complete picture of substance use within the family is crucial for identifying potential health risks and providing appropriate care.
Choice D, 'all of the above,' is the correct answer as it encompasses the comprehensive assessment of all substances.

Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they only present partial aspects of substance assessment and do not cover the full range of substances that should be evaluated in a family health assessment.

Question 5 of 5

During the health screening of an adolescent, which finding by the nurse requires further teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'The client states she is currently taking birth control pills.' This finding requires further teaching because being on birth control pills does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and the adolescent should be educated on the importance of using barrier methods (e.g., condoms) for STD prevention.

Choices A, C, and D are not concerning.
Choice A is a normal developmental milestone in adolescence.
Choice C could indicate a positive lifestyle change, and choice D is a common complaint during this stage of development.
