Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is caring for a client who has methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Wearing a gown during personal hygiene prevents MRSA contact transmission. PPE is removed before leaving, negative air pressure is for airborne infections, and visitors aren't restricted but need PPE education.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of anemia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fatigue is expected in anemia due to reduced oxygen-carrying capacity. Fever, hypertension, or weight gain are not typical.
Question 3 of 5
A hospice nurse is visiting with the son of a client who has terminal cancer. The son reports sleeping very little during the past week due to caring for his mother. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Offering respite care information provides practical support, allowing the son temporary relief from caregiving to rest, addressing his sleep deprivation. General empathy doesn't solve the issue. Suggesting sleeping pills requires a provider's assessment. Praise is supportive but doesn't address the immediate need.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hypoxemia is expected in COPD due to impaired gas exchange. Barrel-shaped chest is common, but bradypnea and weight gain are not; tachypnea and weight loss are more typical.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing an in-service for a group of nurses about malpractice issues in nursing. Which of the following examples should the nurse include in the teaching as an example of malpractice?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Administering potassium via IV bolus is malpractice because it can cause fatal arrhythmias; potassium should be diluted and infused slowly. A clamped nasogastric tube may cause aspiration but is less severe. Using a fall risk bracelet is standard practice. Documenting provider communication is appropriate and not malpractice.
