Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a mastectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Range-of-motion exercises prevent lymphedema and maintain mobility post-mastectomy. Raising the arm is encouraged, warm compresses are not standard, and dependent positioning increases swelling.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of deep-vein thrombosis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Unilateral leg swelling is typical in deep-vein thrombosis due to venous obstruction. Bilateral edema suggests heart failure, hypotension is not specific, and fever may occur but is less common.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about hand hygiene with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Interlacing fingers during hand washing ensures cleaning between fingers and under nails, a key step in surgical hand hygiene. Friction should last 20-30 seconds, hot water is avoided to prevent skin damage, and drying starts at fingers.
Question 5 of 5

Correct Answer: B
