Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is African-American. Which of the following areas should the nurse check to determine the presence of pallor?

Question 2 of 5

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a total knee arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Question 4 of 5
A nurse enters a client's room and sees smoke coming from the trash can next to the client's bed. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting in the plan of care for a client who is dehydrated and is receiving IV fluid replacement. Which of the following interventions should the nurse contribute to the plan of care?
