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 reflects better long-term blood glucose control, indicating the teaching method is effective. Decreased HDL is unrelated to insulin administration, increased blood glucose suggests poor control, and increased lipohypertrophy indicates improper injection technique, all suggesting ineffectiveness.
Question 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to discharge a client from an acute care facility to home. Which of the following information should the nurse plan to include in the client's discharge documentation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reconciled medications ensure safe home medication management. DNR status, acuity, and lab results are less critical for discharge documentation.
Question 4 of 5
A client who is unconscious and has extensive internal injuries arrives via ambulance to the emergency department. The staff cannot reach the client's family. Which of the following permits the staff to proceed with emergency surgery?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Implied consent allows life-saving procedures when a patient cannot consent, as it’s assumed they would agree. The Good Samaritan Act protects volunteers, nonmaleficence is an ethical principle, and a living will doesn’t authorize emergency surgery.
Question 5 of 5
A charge nurse is supervising the actions taken by a staff nurse following a client fall. The charge nurse should identify that which of the following actions by the staff nurse indicates an understanding of the procedure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Documenting that an incident report was filed in the client’s record ensures legal compliance. Witness names shouldn’t be in notes, the client’s account belongs in the report, and incident reports go to risk management, not ethics.
