1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who experienced an infection at the insertion site of her intravenous catheter. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Purulent drainage indicates infection at the IV site, reflecting bacterial presence and inflammation. Numbness suggests nerve issues, sloughing indicates severe tissue damage, and a cord-like vein suggests thrombophlebitis, not necessarily infection.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse has completed care procedures for a client who requires airborne precautions. Which of the following items of personal protective equipment (PPE) should the nurse remove first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Gloves are the most contaminated PPE and should be removed first to prevent contamination of other PPE or hands. Mask, gown, and goggles follow in that order.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has a new prescription for home oxygen therapy via a nasal cannula. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,C,E
Rationale: Posting NO SMOKING signs, notifying the fire department, and checking ears for skin breakdown are critical for safety and comfort. Verifying flow rate every other day is unnecessary unless specified, and petroleum ointment is not recommended due to infection risks.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is using the NURSE mnemonic when speaking with a client who is experiencing grief. The client reports that they are feeling overwhelmed. Which of the following responses by the nurse demonstrates the 'E' in the NURSE mnemonic?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The 'E' in NURSE stands for empathize. Saying 'It sounds like you are exhausted' acknowledges and validates the client’s feelings of being overwhelmed, showing empathy. Other responses encourage dialogue or offer support but don’t directly empathize.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about nonpharmacological therapies to decrease stress. The nurse should include which of the following therapies? (Select All that Apply)
Correct Answer: A,C,D,E
Rationale: Yoga, meditation, acupuncture, and biofeedback reduce stress through physical, mental, and physiological regulation. Electromagnetic therapy is used for pain or healing, not stress.
