Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of an infant who has a Pavlik harness. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The Pavlik harness treats hip dysplasia by promoting joint development. Lotion risks irritation, removal disrupts treatment, and diapers go under straps.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with another nurse about how to change an ostomy appliance for a client who has a sigmoid colostomy. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Emptying the pouch first prevents spillage. The barrier should be 0.3-0.6 cm larger, moisturizing soap risks adhesion, and post-meal changes increase output.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an indwelling catheter with a urinary drainage system. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Securing tubing prevents displacement and trauma. Coiling risks backflow, waist height allows reflux, and specimens come from the port, not bag.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has AIDS. Which of the following solutions should the nurse use to disinfect the client's overbed table following a blood spill?

Question 5 of 5
