1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who received an opioid narcotic for incisional pain. Which of the following findings is the priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Level of sedation is the priority, as opioids can cause significant sedation and respiratory depression. Over-sedation is a precursor to serious complications like respiratory arrest, making it critical to monitor.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
A nurse instructs a class of older adult women about Kegel exercises. In which of the following urinary conditions would Kegel exercises be effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Kegel exercises strengthen pelvic floor muscles, reducing stress incontinence by supporting the bladder during activities like coughing. Functional incontinence is due to mobility issues, urinary retention requires other interventions, and fecal incontinence isn’t addressed by Kegels.
