Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to admit a six-year-old with varicella to the pediatric unit. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Assign the child to a negative air pressure room (airborne). This is because varicella (chickenpox) is transmitted through airborne droplets. Placing the child in a negative air pressure room helps prevent the spread of the virus to others.
B: Placing the child in a semi-private room with another child who has varicella increases the risk of spreading the infection to each other.
C: Requiring the child to wear a surgical mask at all times may help reduce the spread of droplets, but it does not address the airborne transmission of varicella effectively.
D: Ensuring the child's visitors wear droplet precautions is not sufficient to prevent airborne transmission within the unit.
Question 2 of 5
A charge nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about medication Administration. Which of the following information should the charge nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Read medication labels at least two times prior to administration. This is crucial to ensure accurate medication administration and prevent medication errors. Reading labels twice helps in verifying the right medication, dose, route, and time. It is a standard safety practice in medication administration. Option A is incorrect as there is no specific rule about preparing medications for multiple clients. Option B is important but not as critical as double-checking the medication labels. Option D is important in certain situations but not directly related to medication administration technique.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a group of clients and is working with one licensed practical nurse (LPN) and one assistive personnel (AP). Which of the following actions should the nurse take first to manage her time effectively?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Determine goals of the day. This is the first step as it helps prioritize tasks and allocate time efficiently. By setting clear goals, the nurse can focus on essential activities and delegate tasks accordingly. Option A is incorrect because delegating tasks to the AP should come after determining goals to ensure tasks align with priorities. Options C and D are also incorrect as scheduling daily activities and developing an hourly time frame should be based on established goals.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is Inserting an indwelling urinary catheter to a male client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Lift the penis so that it is perpendicular to the client's body. This action helps straighten the urethra, allowing for easier insertion of the catheter. Lifting the penis also reduces the risk of trauma or injury during the procedure. Cleaning the tip of the penis in a side-to-side motion (choice
A) can introduce bacteria into the urethra. Picking up the catheter 13 cm (5 in) from its tip (choice
B) may contaminate the sterile end. Performing the cleansing procedure with a fresh swab two times (choice
C) is not necessary and may increase the risk of irritation to the client's skin.

Keeping the IV bag protected helps maintain the integrity of the medication.
Choice A is incorrect because calcium gluconate should be stored properly but doesn't necessarily need to be kept at the bedside at all times.
Choice B is incorrect as monitoring blood pressure every 2 hours may not be necessary for all patients and is not specific to the scenario given.
Choice D is incorrect as attaching an inline filter to the IV tubing may be necessary in certain situations but is not the most relevant action based on the information provided.
