Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting in creating a plan to reduce environmental stressors for clients in an acute care unit. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Restricting the number of visitors can reduce noise and overstimulation, promoting a calm environment. Loud music, inconsistent staffing, and excessive choices can increase stress.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse observes an assistive personnel (AP) perform mouth care for a client who is unconscious. Which of the following actions by the AP requires intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using two gloved fingers to open the client's mouth for cleaning is unsafe. This method can cause injury to the AP if the patient bites down reflexively. A padded tongue blade should be used instead. The other actions are appropriate for mouth care in an unconscious client.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has hearing loss. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to promote communication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Decreasing background noise improves the client's ability to hear and understand. Rapid speech, short phrases, or loud voices can distort communication or cause discomfort.
Question 4 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 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?
