Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client who will be using a walker. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I will hire someone to trim the tree that hangs low over the stairs of my front porch." This statement shows an understanding of safety precautions when using a walker. Trimming the tree will prevent any potential hazards or obstacles that could hinder the client's safe movement with the walker. Placing an extension cord (choice
A) can lead to tripping, placing the alarm clock across the room (choice
C) is not directly related to walker safety, and replacing a rug (choice
D) addresses a different safety concern. Hiring someone to trim the tree directly addresses the safety issue posed by the low-hanging tree branches, making it the most appropriate choice.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse +2:43 is caring for a client who has pharyngeal diphtheria. Which of the following types of transmission precautions should the nurse initiate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Droplet precautions. Pharyngeal diphtheria is primarily spread through respiratory droplets. Droplet precautions involve wearing a mask, eye protection, and gown when within 3 feet of the client. This is to prevent the transmission of pathogens through close contact. Contact precautions (choice
A) are used for diseases spread by direct contact with the client or their environment. Airborne precautions (choice
C) are for diseases transmitted through small particles that remain in the air for long periods. Protective precautions (choice
D) are not specific to any particular mode of transmission.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is expressing anger about his diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because providing the client with written information about the phases of loss and grief acknowledges and validates the client's feelings of anger, helping him understand that it is a normal part of coping with a cancer diagnosis. This action supports the client emotionally and educates him on the grieving process, enabling him to navigate his emotions more effectively.
Choice A is incorrect because discussing risk factors may not address the client's immediate emotional needs.
Choice B is incorrect as focusing on future management may disregard the client's current emotional state.
Choice D is incorrect as simply reassuring the client may not address the underlying emotions causing the anger.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is using an open irrigation technique to irrigate a client's indwelling urinary catheter. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Subtract the amount of irrigant used from the client's urine output. This is important because when using an open irrigation technique, the nurse needs to account for the amount of irrigant introduced into the catheter to ensure accurate monitoring of urine output. By subtracting the amount of irrigant used from the total urine output, the nurse can accurately assess the client's true urine output.
Choice A is incorrect because placing the client in a semi-lying position is not directly related to the irrigation technique.
Choice B is incorrect as instilling a specific amount of 15 mL of irrigation fluid with each flush is not a standard practice for open irrigation technique.
Choice D is incorrect as the size of the syringe used for irrigation is not specified in standard guidelines.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is performing a home safety assessment for a client who is receiving supplemental oxygen. Which of the following observations should the nurse identify as proper safety protocol?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because having a weekly inspection checklist for oxygen equipment ensures that the client's equipment is functioning properly and reduces the risk of potential hazards. A: Using a wool blanket can pose a fire hazard due to its flammability. B: Knowing the location of the fire extinguisher is important but not directly related to oxygen safety. C: Storing an oxygen tank in a secure outdoor shed is not recommended as it should be stored in a well-ventilated area.
