Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to lift a heavy object. Which of the following actions by the nurse indicates understanding of body mechanics?
Correct Answer: C

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is observing a newly licensed nurse set up a sterile field. Which of the following actions by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A waist-height surface minimizes contamination risk by maintaining proper posture. Preparing 2 hours early, placing against a wall, or opening flaps toward the body increase contamination risks.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse opens a unit-dose of a prescribed medication prior to administering it to a client. After education, the client refuses to take the medication. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Notify the provider of refusal to adjust the care plan. Ethics committee involvement, returning opened medication, or incident reports are inappropriate.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is observing a newly licensed nurse perform hand hygiene. Which of the following actions by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the procedure?
Correct Answer: A

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is on bedrest and is experiencing constipation. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement?
