Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is admitting a client who has dementia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to reduce the risk for client injury?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Frequent toileting reduces fall risk in dementia patients, who may forget or struggle to reach the bathroom. Side rails can increase fall risk if climbed over, bedside table placement is irrelevant, and TV at night may disrupt sleep.
Question 2 of 5
A charge nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about medication administration. Which of the following information should the charge nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Informing clients about the action of each medication promotes patient education, enhances adherence, and improves outcomes. Avoiding preparing medications for multiple clients reduces errors but is not an absolute rule. Reading labels multiple times is good practice but not always a standard requirement. Incident reports are needed only for adverse reactions or errors, not routine vomiting.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of chronic kidney disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anemia is expected in chronic kidney disease due to decreased erythropoietin production. Hyperkalemia, decreased urine output, and hypertension are more common.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for omeprazole. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Taking omeprazole at bedtime maximizes acid suppression overnight. Grapefruit juice is unrelated, nausea should be reported, and relief may take days, not be immediate.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a craniotomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clear drainage from the surgical site may indicate a cerebrospinal fluid leak, requiring immediate provider notification. Pain, mild fever, and normal heart rate are expected post-craniotomy.
