Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is replacing a dressing for a client who has an abdominal incision with a closed wound drain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Lifting the dressing with the underside facing the client prevents contamination. Pushing skin, drying with gauze, or horizontal strokes risk trauma or infection.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is caring for a postoperative client who reports difficulty sleeping due to noise. Which of the following interventions is appropriate for the nurse to implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Moving staff talks reduces noise effectively. Avoiding checks risks safety, turning off alarms is unsafe, and TV adds noise.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an indwelling urinary catheter and a prescription for furosemide. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Recording output monitors furosemide's diuretic effect and fluid balance. Ketones, 24-hr collection, and specific gravity aren't routine here.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a client's medication administration record at 1930. The nurse notes that the documentation for the 1700 regular insulin dose is missing. Which of the following is an appropriate action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Contacting the previous nurse clarifies administration, preventing errors. Pharmacy forms, client recall, and giving it now risk inaccuracies.
