Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing a client for surgery. The client expresses concern that someone might steal her purse during the procedure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Placing the purse in the facility safe ensures security. Bedside drawers and clothing bags are insecure, and the nurses’ station is less formal than the safe.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse initiates a referral to an occupational therapist for a client who has rheumatoid arthritis. Which of the following assessment findings supports the need for this referral?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Assistance with oral hygiene indicates a need for occupational therapy to improve fine motor skills. Support groups, ambulation, and chewing pain require other interventions.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a group of clients on the surgical floor. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to organize their workload and manage time efficiently?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Documenting interventions as completed ensures accuracy and saves time later. Skipping breaks leads to fatigue, batching similar tasks delays high-priority needs, and starting with low-priority tasks is inefficient.
Question 4 of 5
A charge nurse is evaluating a newly licensed nurse and presents a performance improvement plan to the nurse for remediation. Which of the following outcomes should indicate to the charge nurse that the plan has been effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Performing all tasks as specified demonstrates successful implementation of the plan. Verbalizing understanding or attending classes shows engagement but not performance, and sharing the plan is irrelevant to outcomes.
Question 5 of 5
A charge nurse observes a client fall while ambulating with an assistive personnel and notes that the client's gait belt was not in place. When reviewing the incident report, the charge nurse finds that the report does not mention the gait belt. Which of the following ethical principles should the charge nurse follow?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Veracity emphasizes truthfulness, requiring the report to accurately note the gait belt’s absence. Beneficence and nonmaleficence focus on doing good and avoiding harm, while fidelity is about keeping promises.
