Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is homeless. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Determine the client's understanding of her living situation. This is the first step because it allows the nurse to assess the client's perception of her homeless situation and identify any immediate needs or concerns.

Question 4 of 5
A home health nurse manager is caring for a client who has methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Question 5 of 5
A community health nurse is working with a group of clients. The nurse practices the ethical principle of distributive justice by performing which of the following tasks?

A) is based on beneficence. Being honest about abuse (
C) is related to veracity. Accepting a client's decision to live alone (
D) respects autonomy. Other choices do not directly address distributive justice.
