Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer medication to a preschooler and must convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms. The child weighs 30 lb. How many kilograms does the child weigh? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 13.6 kg
Rationale: The correct answer is 13.6 kg.
To convert pounds to kilograms, the formula is weight in pounds divided by 2.2. Given the child's weight is 30 lb, the calculation would be 30 / 2.2 = 13.64 kg. Rounding to the nearest tenth gives us 13.6 kg.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to obtain a client's vital signs. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when washing their hands?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: After washing and drying hands, turning off the faucet with a clean paper towel is recommended to avoid recontaminating the clean hands.
Touching the faucet directly with clean hands could potentially transfer pathogens back onto the hands.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the partner of a client who is immobile. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the partner about turning the client in bed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tightening stomach muscles stabilizes the core, supporting the spine and preventing back strain when turning an immobile client.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for four clients. For which of the following clients should the nurse use the therapeutic communication technique of silence?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Silence supports a client grieving a child's death, offering space to process intense emotions, unlike the other scenarios needing active engagement.
