Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the admission of a client who has varicella zoster. Which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Varicella requires airborne precautions, including a negative-pressure room, to prevent spread. Aspirin risks Reye's syndrome, contact precautions alone are insufficient, and distance doesn't replace airborne measures.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving chemotherapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring WBC count detects neutropenia, critical for infection prevention. Raw produce risks infection, antipyretics aren't routine, and handwashing is essential.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a spinal fusion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Rationale: A back brace supports ambulation, promoting stability. Twisting risks injury, heating pads may increase swelling, and prolonged sitting strains the spine.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has bipolar disorder and a new prescription for lithium. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
