Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving brachytherapy for endometrial cancer. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Keeping visitors 6 feet away minimizes radiation exposure during brachytherapy. Soiled linens don't require biohazard bags unless contaminated with bodily fluids, gowns aren't typically needed, and radioactive sources are managed by radiation safety teams, not discarded in trash.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is collecting data from a client who has Parkinson's disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Pill-rolling tremor, a rhythmic hand movement, is characteristic of Parkinson's disease due to basal ganglia dysfunction. Intention tremor is cerebellar, exophthalmos is thyroid-related, and flushed skin is not typical.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for doxycycline. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Taking doxycycline with a full glass of water prevents esophageal irritation. Antacids reduce absorption, grapefruit juice is unrelated, and tooth discoloration is a risk in children, not adults.

Question 4 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 5 of 5

A nurse manager is updating protocols for the use of belt restraints. Which of the following guidelines should the nurse manager include?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Documenting the client's condition every 15 minutes ensures close monitoring of safety and restraint necessity. PRN restraint prescriptions are inappropriate; restraints require specific orders. Attaching restraints to side rails risks injury. Removal frequency depends on assessment, not a fixed 4-hour schedule.
