Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is anxious about being admitted to a health care facility for the first time. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: "We can discuss what you can expect during your stay." This statement acknowledges the client's feelings of anxiety and offers support by providing information to help alleviate their fears. It promotes open communication, builds trust, and empowers the client by involving them in the care process. It also addresses the client's need for information and helps them feel more prepared for their stay.
Choice A is incorrect as it focuses on the client's fear rather than providing reassurance or support.
Choice B is incorrect as it generalizes the client's feelings without addressing their specific concerns.
Choice C is incorrect as it dismisses the client's anxiety without offering any information or support.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has influenza and isolation precautions in place. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent the spread of infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Wear a mask when working within 3 feet of the client. Wearing a mask helps prevent the spread of respiratory droplets containing the influenza virus. This action protects the nurse and other individuals from inhaling the virus. Administering metronidazole (
A) is not relevant for influenza treatment. Donning protective eyewear (
B) is not necessary unless there is a risk of splashes or sprays. Placing the client in a negative airflow room (
D) is excessive for standard isolation precautions for influenza.

Choice A is incorrect as sharing client information with the charge nurse is not relevant to password recovery.
Choice B is incorrect as sharing personal passwords is a security risk.
Choice C is incorrect as going to the supervisor for a temporary password may not be the standard procedure and could potentially compromise security.

Question 5 of 5

B: Monitoring for pain in the suprapubic region is not a standard preparation for an intravenous pyelogram.
D: Administering oral contrast is not typically required for an intravenous pyelogram, as the contrast material is injected intravenously for this procedure.
