Extract:
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: C
Rationale: Gloves are the most contaminated and removed first per CDC guidelines to prevent self-contamination. Gown, eyewear, and mask follow in that order.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who received an IM antibiotic injection 15 min ago. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication of a possible anaphylactic reaction to the medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A sharp drop in blood pressure is a hallmark of anaphylaxis, indicating systemic vasodilation and shock. Swelling in feet is less specific. Injection site pain is local, not systemic. Decreased heart rate isn’t typical; tachycardia is more common.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to provide postmortem care for a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bright lights may be discomforting for the family. Inviting the family to assist in washing can aid grieving. Removing dentures isn’t standard practice. Leaving eyes open may be distressing and isn’t typical.
Question 4 of 5
A home health nurse is assessing the home environment of an older adult client who has osteoporosis. For which of the following findings should the nurse intervene?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Area rugs on tile floors can be a tripping hazard and should be secured or removed. Grab bars promote safety. A medication organizer is beneficial. A hot water heater at 47°C poses a scalding risk, but the area rug is a more immediate fall risk for osteoporosis.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is performing an eye assessment for a newly admitted client. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Outward-curling eyelashes are normal. A blink rate of 30–35 is high. Pupils of 8–9 mm suggest dilation, not normal. Opaque corneas indicate pathology.
