Question 1 of 5
A nurse is performing a wound irrigation for a client who has methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. When removing personal protective equipment, which of the following pieces should the nurse remove first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Gloves are the first piece of personal protective equipment that the nurse should remove, as they are the most contaminated and can transfer microorganisms to other surfaces. The sequence then proceeds with goggles, gown, and mask to minimize contamination risk.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about how to collect a stool specimen. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Avoiding toilet tissue in the bedpan prevents interference with analysis. Urination should precede collection, specimens should be cool, and more stool (2.5 cm) is needed.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching with a client who has severe arthritis and has difficulty with stairs. What should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Maintaining arms in a slightly bent position when using handrails enables the client to use them as support and reduces stress on the arms and shoulders. The other options can lead to imbalance, instability, or strain.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office receives a telephone call from a client's sibling requesting current information about the client's condition. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A) before sharing information. Redirecting the caller or providing updates without verification risks breaching confidentiality.
