Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is scheduled for a CT scan that requires contrast dye. Which of the following actions is the priority for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Allergy assessment prevents adverse dye reactions, prioritizing safety over post-care, comfort, or education.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is wearing sterile gloves in preparation for assisting with a client's sterile procedure. While waiting for the procedure to begin, how should the nurse position her hands?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Interlocking fingers above the waist keeps hands sterile and away from contaminants. Other positions risk touching non-sterile areas.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who speaks a different language than the nurse. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A medical interpreter ensures accurate translation, critical for discharge instructions. Partners may miss details, another nurse may not be available, and gestures lack precision.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching about fecal occult blood testing with a client. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Urinating first prevents urine contamination of the stool sample. Vitamin C timing, thick stool, and pork avoidance aren't standard requirements.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an opioid analgesic IM to a client. The vial contains 2 mg of medication, but the client's prescription is for 1 mg. After administering the medication, which of the following actions should the nurse take when handling the remaining medication in the vial?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Drawing and labeling the remaining dose minimizes waste and ensures safety with proper documentation. Discarding is wasteful, witnessing isn't needed here, and storing in a drawer risks errors.
