Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an older adult client who has a hearing aid. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when the client reports hearing a whistling sound from the hearing aid?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Whistling (feedback) often results from high volume; lowering it helps. Turning off doesn't fix it, alcohol or water can damage the device.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a newly licensed nurse about informed consent. Which of the following information include?

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing discharge instructions with a client who is walking with crutches. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the instructions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Advancing crutches first on stairs is correct technique. Straight elbows, hand grip weight, and no shoes increase risk or instability.

A nurse is inserting an indwelling urinary catheter for a male client. After inserting the catheter 15 cm (6 in), the nurse feels resistance and no urine flows through the catheter. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
