Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for NPH insulin 10 units and regular insulin 15 units subcutaneously. After injecting 10 units of air into the NPH insulin vial, which of the following actions should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Injecting 15 units of air into the regular insulin vial is correct. When drawing up two types of insulin, the nurse should first inject air into the NPH (cloudy) insulin vial without withdrawing the medication.
Then, the nurse should inject air into the regular (clear) insulin vial before withdrawing the regular insulin. This prevents contamination and maintains proper insulin mixing procedures.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who recently gave birth to her first child. The newborn is crying, and the client states, 'I can't seem to do anything right. What should I do?' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Showing the mother how to swaddle and cuddle the baby, then letting her try is correct. This approach provides practical guidance and empowers the mother, helping her build confidence in her ability to care for her newborn.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with a community health program for caregivers of clients who have Alzheimer's disease. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Limiting the number of choices for the client is correct. Clients with Alzheimer's disease can become overwhelmed by too many options. Offering simple choices, such as 'Would you like tea or juice?' instead of an open-ended question, helps reduce confusion and frustration.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client's family about home oxygen use via nasal cannula. Which of the following statements by a family member indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Frequently checking the top of the ears for sores is correct. The nasal cannula tubing can cause pressure injuries behind the ears over time. The family should check for redness or sores and use protective padding or adjust the tubing as needed.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent who states, 'I joined the track and field team, so I won't argue with my brothers anymore.' The nurse should identify that the client is using which of the following defense mechanisms?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sublimation is correct. Sublimation is the process of channeling unacceptable impulses (such as frustration or aggression) into socially acceptable activities (such as sports or creative pursuits). By joining the track and field team instead of arguing with his brothers, the adolescent is redirecting energy into a positive outlet.
