Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to develop a standard for removal of indwelling urinary catheters from clients following colon resection. Which of the following resources should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A critical pathway provides standardized, evidence-based protocols for managing post-operative care, including catheter removal. Provider prescriptions are patient-specific, Maslow’s hierarchy prioritizes needs but not clinical guidelines, and surgical records document procedures, not protocols.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse manager is overseeing employees on their unit. Which of the following actions is the nurse manager's priority? Select the action that the nurse manager should take first.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Scheduling a meeting within 24 hours allows understanding of the employee’s issues, addressing performance concerns. Removing the employee, assuming substance use, coordinating transport, or signing contracts are premature without discussion.
Question 3 of 5
A charge nurse is coordinating a consult with a wound care specialist for a client who has a pressure injury. Which of the following actions should the charge nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Scheduling the consult when the nurse can attend ensures continuity and direct communication. Delaying consults, providing subjective opinions, or arranging daily visits are less effective.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who requests a copy of their medical records immediately. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A written request ensures compliance with privacy regulations like HIPAA. Immediate copying may violate policy, questioning intent is invasive, and denying access is incorrect as clients have rights to their records.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse implemented a new method of teaching clients about self-administration of insulin six months ago. Which of the following findings indicates the new method is effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A decrease in HbA1C indicates improved long-term glucose control, showing the teaching method’s effectiveness. Decreased HDL is unrelated, increased glucose suggests poor control, and increased lipohypertrophy indicates improper technique.
