Question 1 of 5
A newly licensed nurse working at an HIV clinic is reviewing the responsibilities of her position at the clinic. Which of the following tasks should the nurse identify as tertiary prevention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because using an electronic messaging system to remind clients when to take medications is an example of tertiary prevention. Tertiary prevention focuses on managing and reducing the impact of a disease or condition to prevent complications or further deterioration. By reminding clients to take their medications, the nurse is helping to control the progression of HIV and minimize potential complications.
Choices B, C, and D involve primary and secondary prevention activities, which aim to prevent the onset of disease or detect and treat it early.
Therefore, they are not considered tertiary prevention.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to feed a newly admitted client who has dysphagia. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Sit at or below the client's eye level during feedings. This position helps promote a safe swallowing mechanism by facilitating proper alignment of the head and neck. Sitting at or below the client's eye level minimizes the risk of aspiration and choking during feeding. In contrast, option A (lifting chin when swallowing) may increase the risk of aspiration in clients with dysphagia. Option B (talking during feeding) can lead to distractions and increase the risk of choking. Option D (discouraging coughing) is incorrect because coughing is a protective mechanism to clear the airway and should not be discouraged during feedings.

Question 3 of 5
The nurse is placing the client on isolation precautions. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Place a container for soiled linens inside the client's room. This is essential for infection control as it helps prevent the spread of pathogens. Soiled linens can harbor infectious organisms, so having a designated container inside the room reduces the risk of contamination to other areas. Option A is incorrect because an N95 mask is typically not required for standard isolation precautions. Option C is incorrect as negative airflow rooms are usually reserved for clients with airborne infections. Option D is incorrect because the mask should be removed inside the room to prevent contamination.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing an in-service about client evacuation during a fire. Which of the following clients should the nurse instruct the staff to evacuate first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: A client who is ambulatory and receiving oxygen. This client should be evacuated first due to the risk of oxygen supporting combustion during a fire. Ambulatory clients can move independently, making evacuation quicker.
Choices B, C, and D have limitations that would slow down evacuation or increase risks during a fire.
Choice B has traction that requires careful handling,
Choice C may have impaired communication with the hearing aid, and
Choice D's confusion could hinder cooperation. Evacuating clients with these limitations first could delay the evacuation process or pose additional risks.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has a prescription for a bowel-training program following a spinal cord injury. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer a cathartic suppository 30 min prior to scheduled defecation times. This action helps stimulate bowel movement at a consistent time, aiding in establishing a regular bowel routine for the client following a spinal cord injury. The suppository acts as a stimulant to facilitate bowel evacuation.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. A diet high in refined grains may lead to constipation due to lack of fiber. Providing a cold drink before defecation does not directly impact bowel training. Restricting fluid intake to 1,500 mL per day is not advisable as it may lead to dehydration and worsen constipation.
