Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a wrist restraint applied. For which of the following findings should the nurse loosen the restraint?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A cool, pale hand indicates impaired circulation, likely from a tight restraint, requiring loosening. Full range of motion and rapid capillary refill are normal, and attempting removal suggests looseness, not tightness.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has had an allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplant. Which of the following infection-control precautions should the nurse use while caring for this client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Protective precautions are used for immunocompromised clients like those post-stem-cell transplant to prevent infections from all sources. Contact, airborne, and droplet precautions target specific transmission modes.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports stress related to homelessness. The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following types of stressors?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Homelessness is a socioeconomic stressor, impacting health and well-being due to economic and social factors. Adventitious stressors are traumatic events, cultural stressors involve identity conflicts, and developmental stressors relate to life stages.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of lung cancer. The client states they do not want to tell their partner their diagnosis. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Offering to discuss concerns respects the client’s autonomy and encourages open dialogue. Other responses are judgmental, confrontational, or impose assumptions, potentially discouraging communication.
