Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is attending an interprofessional team conference for a client who experienced a stroke. For which of the following findings should the team request a prescription for a referral to the occupational therapist?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assistance with dressing indicates a need for occupational therapy to support daily living activities. Swallowing and dysarthria are managed by speech therapy, and new medications are unrelated.
Question 2 of 5
A client who is unconscious and has extensive internal injuries arrives via ambulance to the emergency department. The staff cannot reach the client's family. Which of the following permits the staff to proceed with emergency surgery?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Implied consent allows life-saving procedures when a patient cannot consent, as it’s assumed they would agree. The Good Samaritan Act protects volunteers, nonmaleficence is an ethical principle, and a living will doesn’t authorize emergency surgery.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing a client for a cardiac catheterization. Just before the procedure, the client asks the nurse about the risks of the procedure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Notifying the provider ensures the client receives accurate information about risks from the responsible party. Explaining risks is outside the nurse’s scope, checking the record doesn’t address immediate concerns, and conveying to the witnessing nurse avoids direct resolution.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is planning discharge for a client who had a lung resection. The nurse initiates a referral for a social worker. Which of the following assessment data supports this referral?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Financial resource arrangement is within a social worker’s scope. Bathing assistance requires home health, oxygen delivery involves respiratory therapy, and exercises are for physical therapy.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who requests a copy of their medical records immediately. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A written request ensures compliance with privacy regulations like HIPAA. Immediate copying may violate policy, questioning intent is invasive, and denying access is incorrect as clients have rights to their records.
