Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to set up a sterile field. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pouring liquids outside the sterile field prevents contamination. Hips are too low (waist level is ideal), labels face away from the palm, and the outermost flap opens away from the body.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to teach a female client about osteoporosis prevention. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse make for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Walking (30 min, 3-5 times/week) is a weight-bearing exercise that boosts bone density, reducing osteoporosis risk. Water aerobics lacks sufficient impact, lean body mass may increase risk if underweight, and vitamin B12 isn’t directly linked—calcium and vitamin D are key.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in a clinic is teaching a client who has diabetes mellitus about self-administration of insulin using a prefilled, multidose pen. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Safe-needle devices prevent needlestick injuries. Pinching skin may be needed, recapping risks injury, and removing the needle before disposal increases risk—dispose intact.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who requires airborne precautions. The nurse is preparing to leave the client’s room following a dressing change. Which of the following pieces of personal protective equipment should the nurse remove first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gloves are removed first as they contact contaminated surfaces, preventing pathogen spread to other PPE or skin. Eyewear, mask, and gown follow in sequence.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about reducing the risk for osteoporosis. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of possible anaphylaxis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A sharp drop in blood pressure is a key anaphylaxis symptom, indicating shock. Swelling in feet, injection site pain, and decreased heart rate (late-stage) aren’t primary indicators—tachycardia is more typical early on. Note: Question seems misaligned; likely intended for osteoporosis, not anaphylaxis.
