Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office receives a telephone call from a client's sibling requesting current information about the client's condition. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Gathering information to verify the caller's identity ensures compliance with privacy laws (e.g., HIPA
A) before sharing information. Redirecting the caller or providing updates without verification risks breaching confidentiality.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postpartum. Which of the following documentations should the nurse include in the client's health record?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Oral temperature elevated at 0800' is specific and accurate, indicating an abnormal finding that requires monitoring. The other options lack specificity or detail required for proper documentation.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who speaks a different language than the nurse and is 5 hours postoperative. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to determine the client's level of pain?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Using a communication board is an effective way to assess the client's pain level and location, overcoming the language barrier. The FLACC scale is for infants/children, AP interpretation is unreliable, and the FACES scale may not be culturally understood.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about how to collect a stool specimen. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Avoiding toilet tissue in the bedpan prevents interference with analysis. Urination should precede collection, specimens should be cool, and more stool (2.5 cm) is needed.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing a teaching plan regarding proper lifting with a client. Which of the following strategies should the nurse include to prevent back injury when lifting an object?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Tightening the abdominal muscles supports the spine and prevents injury. Bending at the waist, keeping legs straight, or holding the object away increases back strain.
