Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who refuses treatment and asks to be discharged from the hospital against medical advice. The nurse notifies the client's provider, who tells the nurse to restrain the client, if necessary, to keep her from leaving the hospital. The nurse understands that restraining this client would be considered which type of civil action by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Restraining a client against their will without justification constitutes false imprisonment, as it unlawfully restricts their freedom.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 2-month-old infant who is preoperative following surgical repair of a cleft lip. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rocking or gentle movement can provide comfort to infants postoperatively and may help soothe them. It also promotes bonding between the infant and parents, which is important for emotional support during the recovery period.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and a new prescription for IV rifampin. The nurse should instruct the client that they should expect to experience which of the following manifestations while taking this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rifampin causes red-orange discoloration of bodily fluids, including urine, which is harmless but can be alarming. Black stools, teeth staining, and constipation are not typical side effects.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 1-month-old infant who weighs 3500 g and is prescribed a dose of cephazolin 50 mg/kg by intermittent IV bolus three times daily. How many mg should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero)
Correct Answer: 175.0 mg
Rationale: Dosage calculation: 50 mg/kg × 3.5 kg (3500 g / 1000) = 175 mg, rounded to 175.0 mg per dose.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to infuse a 250-mL unit of packed RBCs over 2 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 15 gtts/mL. The nurse should adjust the flow rate to deliver how many drops per minute? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Flow rate = (250 mL / 120 min) x 15 gtts/mL = 31.25 gtts/min, rounded to 31 gtts/min.
