Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client about measures to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Which client statement indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I will need to wipe my perineal area from back to front after urination." This statement indicates a need for further teaching because wiping from back to front can introduce bacteria from the anal area to the urethra, increasing the risk of UTIs. The correct way to wipe is from front to back. Additionally, wiping back to front can potentially lead to fecal contamination of the urethra, which can cause infections. It is important for the client to understand proper hygiene practices to prevent UTIs. The other choices (A, C,
D) are all correct statements that can help prevent UTIs by promoting hydration, emptying the bladder regularly, and consuming cranberry juice, which can help reduce the risk of UTIs.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about how to use her new hearing aids. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client needs further instruction?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because cleaning hearing aids with alcohol wipes can damage them. The rationale is that alcohol can degrade the components of the hearing aids, leading to malfunction. The other choices are incorrect because B is a normal occurrence due to feedback, C is a correct precaution to avoid damaging the hearing aids, and D is a standard practice for maintaining hearing aid functionality.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient who has experienced a total abdominal hysterectomy. Which nursing observation of the incision will indicate the patient is experiencing a complication of wound healing?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. A mass that is bluish in color at the incision site indicates a hematoma, which is a complication of wound healing. Hematoma can lead to increased pain, swelling, and delayed wound healing. It requires immediate attention to prevent further complications.
Choices A and B are common postoperative symptoms and do not necessarily indicate a complication.
Choice C, approximation of the site, is a positive sign indicating proper wound closure.
Question 4 of 5
Normal range for oxygen saturation via pulse oximeter is?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D (95-100%). Normal oxygen saturation levels are typically between 95-100%, indicating sufficient oxygen in the blood. Levels below 95% may indicate hypoxemia.
Choice A (89-100%) includes a lower boundary below the normal range.
Choice B (100%) is too narrow, not accounting for slight fluctuations.
Choice C (90-100%) allows for lower levels than the standard minimum of 95%.
Therefore, D is the most accurate range for normal oxygen saturation levels on a pulse oximeter.
Question 5 of 5
Which action should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct action is to ease the client to the floor (Option
D) first in case of a fall to prevent further injury. Placing the client on the side (Option
A) or assessing vital signs (Option
C) can wait until the client is safely on the floor. Pushing aside furniture (Option
B) is not the priority over ensuring the client's safety.
