Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to measure a client's oxygen saturation and notes edema of the client's hands and thickened toenails. The nurse should apply the pulse oximeter probe to which of the following locations?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Earlobe. When a client has edema of the hands and thickened toenails, the accuracy of oxygen saturation readings can be affected if the pulse oximeter probe is placed on the finger or toe. The earlobe is a reliable alternate site as it is less affected by edema and nail thickness, providing a more accurate reading. Placing the probe on a skin fold may also be an option, but the earlobe is preferred due to its accessibility and reliability. Choosing the finger or toe could lead to inaccurate readings due to poor circulation or obstruction by edema and thickened nails.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is supervising a newly licensed nurse who is female while she performs postmortem care on a male client who is Muslim. Which of the following actions by the newly licensed nurse should prompt the nurse to intervene?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In Islamic practices, same-gender family members or religious personnel should perform body cleansing. A female nurse cleansing a male client would require intervention.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility sees a client who is choking. Which of the following data should the nurse identify as requiring an abdominal thrust?
Correct Answer: D

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from the mother of a toddler. Which of the following activities should the nurse expect the toddler to be able to perform?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Ride a tricycle.
Toddlers typically develop the gross motor skills necessary to ride a tricycle around the age of 2-3 years. This activity helps improve balance, coordination, and leg strength. Jumping rope requires more advanced coordination and motor skills. Printing letters and numbers involves fine motor skills that develop later. Using scissors to cut out a picture also requires more refined motor skills and is typically mastered later in childhood.
