Extract:
Question 1 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 2 of 5
A nurse in a rehabilitation facility is administering medications to a client who was admitted earlier that day. The client refuses two of the medications, stating, 'I’ve never taken these before.' Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reviewing the medication’s purpose addresses the client’s concerns, promoting adherence. Calling the provider, consulting the pharmacist, or comparing records are secondary to engaging the client.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reviewing client charts to collect data on the number of urinary catheters that were removed within 48 hours of surgery. This collection of information demonstrates which of the following processes?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An outcome audit evaluates care results, like timely catheter removal to prevent complications. Structure audits assess resources, benchmarking compares to standards, and process audits evaluate methods.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
A nurse is serving on a committee whose task is to plan cost-effective care at the facility. Which of the following client care tasks should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Changing peripheral IV tubing every 96 hours is safe and cost-effective per guidelines. TPN tubing and bags should be changed every 24 hours to prevent infection, and IV solution bags should be replaced every 24 hours to avoid contamination.
