A nurse is assessing a client who has a pressure ulcer. The nurse should recognize which of the following findings is a manifestation of a stage 3 pressure ulcer?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Stage 3 pressure ulcers involve full-thickness skin loss with necrotic subcutaneous tissue, appearing as a deep crater. Exposed bone is stage 4, blood-filled blisters are earlier stages, and partial-thickness loss is stage 2.

Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient on contact precautions. Which action will be most appropriate to prevent the spread of disease?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using a dedicated blood pressure cuff prevents cross-contamination between patients, a key measure for contact precautions. Negative airflow is for airborne precautions, and PPE is standard but less specific to equipment. Safe transport is important but not primary.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The client tells the nurse, 'I can feel the congestion in my lungs, and I certainly cough a lot, but I can’t seem to bring anything up.' Which of the following actions should the nurse take to help this client with tenacious bronchial secretions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increased fluid intake thins bronchial secretions, aiding expectoration in COPD. Low-salt diets, oxygen, and semi-Fowler’s position don’t directly address secretion viscosity.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is inserting an NG tube for a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Measuring the NG tube length ensures correct placement. Coughing increases gagging risk, clean gloves are sufficient, and high Fowler’s position is preferred, not left lateral.
