Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a total hip arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent dislocation?
Correct Answer: A

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 12 hr postpartum and has deep vein thrombosis of the left leg. The client is receiving anticoagulant therapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bed rest prevents clot dislodgement, reducing pulmonary embolism risk. Ice, aspirin, or massage could increase bleeding or dislodge the clot, worsening the condition.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in an assisted living facility is reinforcing teaching with staff members about preparing for an external chemical disaster. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
