Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following total hip arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent dislocation of the prosthesis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: An abduction pillow maintains hip alignment, preventing adduction and dislocation post-hip arthroplasty. Elevating the leg risks adduction, high knees in a chair increase dislocation risk, and high-Fowler's position is unrelated to hip stability.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for albuterol. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting heart palpitations is critical, as albuterol can cause tachycardia. It's not taken with meals, doesn't require refrigeration, and is used as needed or per schedule, not every 2 hours.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
A home care nurse is making a follow-up visit with a client who has COPD and is using a compressed oxygen system in his home. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placing the oxygen tank away from curtains or drapes reduces fire risk, as oxygen supports combustion. Checking the gauge weekly is insufficient; it should be daily. Storing the wrench in a locked cabinet is unnecessary. Storing tanks under the bed risks leaks or fire hazards.
Question 5 of 5
A charge nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about medication administration. Which of the following information should the charge nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Informing clients about the action of each medication promotes patient education, enhances adherence, and improves outcomes. Avoiding preparing medications for multiple clients reduces errors but is not an absolute rule. Reading labels multiple times is good practice but not always a standard requirement. Incident reports are needed only for adverse reactions or errors, not routine vomiting.
