Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing skin care for a client who has urinary incontinence. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Barrier cream protects the skin from moisture, reducing breakdown risk in incontinence.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 12-month-old infant who is brought to the clinic by the parents for a well-child visit. The nurse reviews the infant's health history and notes that the infant weighed $8 \mathrm{lb}$ at birth. When assessing the infant's weight at this visit,the nurse would anticipate that the infant would weigh approximately how much at this time?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 20 lbs: This is a plausible estimate. By 12 months, an infant's birth weight typically triples.
Therefore, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would approximately translate to $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 32 lbs: This estimate is too high. If an infant's birth weight triples by 12 months, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would not be expected to reach 32 lbs. 24 lbs: An infant's weight usually triples by their first birthday.
Therefore, an infant born weighing $8 \mathrm{lbs}$ would be expected to weigh about $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 16 lbs: This is an underestimate. An $8 \mathrm{lb}$ infant would double their birth weight by about 4 to 6 months, and by 12 months, they would typically have tripled their birth weight to around $24 \mathrm{lbs}$.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has strained her back muscles while preparing to move to a new apartment. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bend at the knees when picking up an object: This technique helps distribute the weight of the object and reduces strain on the back muscles. Relax her abdominal muscles when she lifts an object: Tensing the abdominal muscles can provide core support, but relaxing them while lifting can increase the risk of injury. Twist at the waist when she moves an object to one side: Twisting at the waist can strain the back muscles and should be avoided. Hold an object away from her body as she lifts it: Holding objects close to the body reduces strain on the back muscles and is a good technique to prevent injury.
