Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client who has a prescription for the use of oxygen in his home. Which of the following should the nurse teach the client about using oxygen safely in his home? Select all.
Correct Answer: B, C, E
Rationale: The correct answers are B, C, and E.
B: Nail polish should not be used near a client who is receiving oxygen to prevent a fire hazard as it is flammable.
C: A 'No smoking' sign should be placed on the front door to remind visitors not to smoke near the oxygen source.
E: A fire extinguisher should be readily available in the home to handle any fire emergencies related to oxygen use.
Incorrect choices:
A: Family members who smoke must be at least 10 ft from the client when the oxygen is in use is not as crucial as preventing ignition sources like nail polish.
D: Replacing cotton bedding & clothing with wool is unnecessary for oxygen safety.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse educator is conducting a parenting class for new parents. Which of the following statements made by a participant indicates a need for further clarification & instruction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Once my baby can sit up, he should be safe in the bathtub." This statement indicates a need for further clarification because infants are not safe to be left unattended in the bathtub even if they can sit up. They are still at risk of drowning. It is essential for the caregiver to always supervise the baby closely during bath time to ensure their safety. Testing the water temperature (
Choice
C) and removing the mobile from over the bed (
Choice
D) are appropriate safety measures. Beginning swimming lessons when the baby can close her mouth under water (
Choice
A) may be premature but not necessarily dangerous.
Question 3 of 5
A home health nurse is discussing the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning w/a client. Which of the following information should the nurse include in her counseling?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Carbon monoxide binds with hemoglobin in the body. This is crucial information because carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin more strongly than oxygen, leading to oxygen deprivation in the body's tissues. This can result in serious health consequences, including brain damage and even death.
Explanation for why the other choices are incorrect:
A: Carbon monoxide is odorless, so it does not have a distinct odor.
B: While regular inspection of appliances like water heaters is important for safety, it is not directly related to carbon monoxide poisoning.
C: Carbon monoxide primarily affects the body's ability to transport oxygen, rather than directly damaging the lungs.
E, F, G: No additional choices provided.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse educator is presenting a module on basic first aid for newly licensed home health nurses. The nurse educator evaluates the teaching as effective when the newly licensed nurse states the client who has heat stroke will have which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hypotension. Heat stroke is characterized by the body's inability to regulate its temperature due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. This leads to excessive sweating and dehydration, resulting in a drop in blood pressure (hypotension). Bradycardia (
B) is a slow heart rate, which is not typically seen in heat stroke. Clammy skin (
C) is common in heat exhaustion, not heat stroke. Bradypnea (
D) is slow breathing, which is not a common sign of heat stroke.
Therefore, hypotension is the most appropriate choice as it aligns with the pathophysiology of heat stroke.
Question 5 of 5
A home health nurse is discussing the dangers of food poisoning w/a client. Which of the following info should the nurse include in her counseling? Select all.
Correct Answer: B, C, E
Rationale: The correct choices are B, C, and E. B is correct because immunocompromised individuals have weakened immune systems, making them more susceptible to severe complications from food poisoning. C is correct because pasteurized dairy products are less likely to contain harmful bacteria that can cause food poisoning. E is correct because proper food handling, such as separating raw and fresh foods to prevent cross-contamination, can help reduce the risk of food poisoning. A is incorrect because most food poisoning is actually caused by bacteria, not viruses. D is incorrect because while healthy individuals may recover from food poisoning, the recovery time can vary and may not always be within a few weeks.
