Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse implemented a new method of teaching clients about self-administration of insulin six months ago. Which of the following findings indicates the new method is effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A decrease in HbA1C indicates improved long-term glucose control, showing the teaching method’s effectiveness. Decreased HDL is unrelated, increased glucose suggests poor control, and increased lipohypertrophy indicates improper technique.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is caring for a client following a motor-vehicle crash. The client refuses to provide a urine sample to check for substance use. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Documenting the refusal ensures legal and ethical compliance. Threatening catheterization is coercive, mentioning blood alcohol is irrelevant, and assessing incontinence is unrelated.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a tumor. The provider recommends surgery. The client refuses, but the client's partner wants the surgery performed. Which of the following is the deciding factor in determining if the surgery will be done?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The client’s understanding of risks ensures informed refusal, respecting autonomy. Religious beliefs, ethics committees, and durable power of attorney (only if incapacitated) don’t override a competent client’s decision.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing a client for surgery. The client expresses concern that someone might steal her purse during the procedure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Placing the purse in the facility safe ensures security. Bedside drawers and clothing bags are insecure, and the nurses’ station is less formal than the safe.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about telephone prescriptions. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Verifying medication spelling ensures accuracy, preventing errors. Abbreviations risk confusion, voicemail transcription is unreliable, and requesting pharmacy calls shifts responsibility.
