Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is giving a presentation about client confidentiality to a group of newly licensed nurses. Which of the following actions is an example of a violation of confidentiality?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sharing lab findings with family without consent violates confidentiality. Discussing with a nurse manager or provider is part of care, and identifying a client for referrals is acceptable if secure.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to transfuse one unit of packed RBC to a client who experienced a mild allergic reaction during a previous transfusion. The nurse should administer diphenhydramine prior to the transfusion for which of the following allergic responses?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Diphenhydramine prevents urticaria (hives), a mild allergic reaction. Hemolysis, fever, and fluid overload are unrelated to antihistamines.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about transcribing prescriptions. Which of the following examples should the nurse include in the instructions?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Losartan 50.0 mg. PO. QD: This prescription is incorrect due to the use of an unnecessary period after "50.0 mg" and the trailing zero after the decimal point. It should be written as "50 mg" to avoid potential errors.Metformin 500mg, 1 tablet, PO. daily: While the prescription is mostly correct, "PO" should not have a period after it, and "daily" should be written as "QD" (quaque die), which is the standard abbreviation for once a day.Desmopressin 1 ml, intranasal, gd: The abbreviation "gd" is not a standard or recognized abbreviation, which could lead to confusion. Proper abbreviations and clarity are essential for medication safety.Zolpidem, 5 mg PO, HS: This is the correct format for transcribing a prescription. It includes the medication name, dosage, route, and time of administration (HS, meaning at bedtime). This is a clear and standardized way of writing a prescription.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is scheduled for an elective surgical procedure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take regarding informed consent?

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is creating a discharge plan. Which of the following nursing statements indicates the nurse understands when discharge planning should be implemented?
