Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is at 12 weeks of gestation. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: At 12 weeks, fetal heart tones are audible via Doppler. Leopold maneuvers are later (third trimester), reflexes check preeclampsia, and catheterization isn't routine.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to perform a wet-to-dry dressing change for a client who has an infected abdominal wound. Which of the following techniques should the nurse use when performing this dressing change?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cleaning from the center to the outer edges prevents contamination by avoiding dragging bacteria from surrounding skin into the wound. Tape should be pulled parallel to the skin, clean gloves suffice, and moistening defeats the dry removal purpose.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting a client who requests to take a tub bath. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Rationale: Draining the tub first prevents slips, enhancing safety. Frequent checks vary by independence, oil risks slips, and 30 min may cause fatigue.
