Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an implanted venous access port. Which of the following should the nurse use to access the port?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A noncoring (Huber) needle is designed for implanted venous access ports, minimizing damage to the port membrane and ensuring safe access. Angiocatheters are for peripheral veins, 25-gauge needles are too small, and butterfly needles are for short-term peripheral access.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is performing a neurological examination on a client as part of a complete physical assessment. The nurse should identify that cranial nerve XI is intact when the client performs which of the following actions?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cranial nerve XI (spinal accessory nerve) controls neck and shoulder movements. Shrugging shoulders tests its function, indicating it is intact. Sticking out the tongue tests cranial nerve XII. Frowning symmetrically tests cranial nerve VII. Identifying a sour taste tests cranial nerves IX and X.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about hand hygiene with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Interlacing fingers during hand washing ensures cleaning between fingers and under nails, a key step in surgical hand hygiene. Friction should last 20-30 seconds, hot water is avoided to prevent skin damage, and drying starts at fingers.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of peptic ulcer disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Epigastric pain is typical in peptic ulcer disease, often relieved by food or antacids. Right lower quadrant pain, fever, or diarrhea are not characteristic.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hypoxemia is expected in COPD due to impaired gas exchange. Barrel-shaped chest is common, but bradypnea and weight gain are not; tachypnea and weight loss are more typical.
