Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A medical surgical unit has implemented a policy change. The nurse manager has noticed that one of the nurses, who has a history of being resistant to change, is not delivering care according to the new policy. What actions should the nurse manager take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Encouraging verbalization of resistance identifies concerns, fostering collaboration. Explaining rationale assumes misunderstanding, threats create hostility, and ignoring is ineffective.
Question 2 of 5
With whom should a nurse share her password for access to the facility's computer system?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Passwords must remain confidential to protect patient data and ensure accountability. Sharing with anyone, even supervisors or IT staff, violates security protocols.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative and requesting something to drink. The nurse reads the client's postoperative prescriptions, which include, "Clear liquids, advance diet as tolerated." What action should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Auscultating the abdomen assesses bowel function, ensuring readiness for liquids. Elevation aids comfort, offering juice is premature, and ordering a tray advances diet too quickly.
Question 4 of 5
Anaphylactic shock is a subgroup of which type of shock?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Anaphylactic shock is a distributive shock, caused by widespread vasodilation and increased vascular permeability due to an allergic reaction. Hypovolemic shock involves fluid loss, obstructive shock involves flow obstruction, and cardiogenic shock involves heart failure.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient immediately following a cardiac catheterization with a femoral artery approach. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Checking pedal pulses monitors circulation, detecting complications like thrombosis. Restricting movement or prolonged high-Fowler's is unnecessary, and range-of-motion risks bleeding.
