Question 1 of 5
A nurse is implementing seizure precautions for a client who has a seizure disorder. Which of the following equipment should the nurse place at the client's bedside? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,C,E
Rationale: Oral suction equipment (
B), supplemental oxygen supplies (
C), and an oral airway (E) are essential for seizure precautions to manage airway clearance, oxygenation, and prevent tongue biting post-seizure. Limb restraints (
A) risk injury and are only used with orders if the client is a danger. A blood glucose monitor (
D) is not directly related to seizure management unless hypoglycemia is a known trigger.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a high fever. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A sponge bath with alcohol-water solution (
C) promotes heat loss through evaporation, effectively reducing fever. A blanket with a cooling blanket (
A) reduces its effectiveness. Heavy blankets (
B) trap heat, worsening fever. Ice packs (
D) cause vasoconstriction, limiting heat loss and risking tissue damage.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing an older adult client. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Decreased balance (

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching for a client who is scheduled for an allogeneic stem cell transplant. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A) is for airborne infections, not stem cell transplants; a positive-airflow room is used. A semi-private room (
B) increases infection risk; a private room is required. Wearing a mask outside the room (
D) is insufficient; clients should avoid leaving unless necessary.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client how to self-administer daily low-dose heparin injections. Which of the following factors is most likely to increase the client's motivation to learn?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The client’s belief that education meets his needs (
