Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is immobile and has a potential deep vein thrombosis. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A

A nurse is caring for a client who is postpartum. Which of the following documentations should the nurse include in the client's health record?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Oral temperature elevated at 0800' is specific and accurate, indicating an abnormal finding that requires monitoring. The other options lack specificity or detail required for proper documentation.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is performing a wound irrigation for a client who has methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. When removing personal protective equipment, which of the following pieces should the nurse remove first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Gloves are the first piece of personal protective equipment that the nurse should remove, as they are the most contaminated and can transfer microorganisms to other surfaces. The sequence then proceeds with goggles, gown, and mask to minimize contamination risk.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 2 days postoperative following a below-the-knee amputation. Which of the following statements by the client should the nurse identify as indicating an acceptance of the limb loss?
Correct Answer: A
