Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is evaluating the crutch-walking technique of a client who is required to keep weight off their right leg. Which of the following is the proper crutch gait for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The three-point gait keeps weight off one leg by moving both crutches and the affected leg together, followed by the unaffected leg.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has dysphagia following a stroke. Which of the following interventions should the nurse use when feeding the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Instructing the client to tilt their head forward facilitates safer swallowing, reducing aspiration risk in dysphagia.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer medication to a preschooler and must convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms. The child weighs 30 lb. How many kilograms does the child weigh? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 13.6 kg
Rationale: The correct answer is 13.6 kg.
To convert pounds to kilograms, the formula is weight in pounds divided by 2.2. Given the child's weight is 30 lb, the calculation would be 30 / 2.2 = 13.64 kg. Rounding to the nearest tenth gives us 13.6 kg.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to obtain a client's vital signs. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when washing their hands?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: After washing and drying hands, turning off the faucet with a clean paper towel is recommended to avoid recontaminating the clean hands.
Touching the faucet directly with clean hands could potentially transfer pathogens back onto the hands.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to perform a wound irrigation for a client who has a stage 3 pressure injury. Which of the following supplies should the nurse plan to use?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A piston syringe is used for wound irrigation to deliver a controlled and directed flow of fluid to clean the wound. It helps remove debris and promote healing. This choice aligns with wound irrigation best practices.
