Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who requires airborne precautions. The nurse is preparing to leave the client’s room following a dressing change. Which of the following pieces of personal protective equipment should the nurse remove first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Gloves. The nurse should remove gloves first because they are the most likely to be contaminated, reducing the risk of spreading pathogens. Removing gloves first prevents potential transfer of pathogens to other surfaces or PPE. Eyewear, mask, and gown should be removed in that order after gloves to minimize the risk of exposure. Eyewear protects the eyes, mask protects the nose and mouth, and gown protects clothing from contamination. Removing PPE in the correct order is crucial to prevent the spread of infection.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about reducing the risk for osteoporosis. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of possible anaphylaxis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A sharp decrease in blood pressure. This indicates an understanding of possible anaphylaxis because anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure, which can be life-threatening. This symptom is crucial to recognize as it requires immediate medical attention, including the administration of epinephrine.
Choice A, B, and C do not directly relate to anaphylaxis and are more commonly associated with other conditions or reactions. By understanding the potential signs of anaphylaxis, the client can take appropriate actions to seek help promptly.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching about safety considerations to an older adult client who lives at home. The client has heart failure and a new prescription for hydrochlorothiazide. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: "I will leave a light on in my bathroom at night." This statement indicates an understanding of the teaching because older adults with heart failure who take hydrochlorothiazide may experience nocturia, which can increase the risk of falls at night due to frequent trips to the bathroom. Leaving a light on in the bathroom at night can help the client navigate safely.
Choice A is incorrect because weighing once weekly does not address the safety concern related to nocturia.
Choice B is incorrect as taking the medication in the evening is not directly related to safety considerations.
Choice C is incorrect because taking a hot bath before bed may exacerbate heart failure symptoms.
