Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing client charts to collect data on the number of urinary catheters that were removed within 48 hours of surgery. This collection of information demonstrates which of the following processes?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An outcome audit evaluates care results, like timely catheter removal to prevent complications. Structure audits assess resources, benchmarking compares to standards, and process audits evaluate methods.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is triaging four clients following a mass casualty event. To which of the following clients should the nurse assign a red tag?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A compromised airway is an immediate, life-threatening condition requiring urgent intervention, warranting a red tag. Brief loss of consciousness suggests a yellow tag, fixed pupils indicate a black tag due to likely fatal neurological damage, and extensive burns may warrant a yellow or black tag due to resource allocation in mass casualty events.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is unresponsive and has advance directives stating they do not want treatment to extend their life. The client's partner is their health care surrogate and requests the nurse begin tube feedings. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Stating the client’s wishes respects their advance directives, prioritizing autonomy. Ethics committee involvement, suggesting benefits, or family discussion are inappropriate if directives are clear.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is caring for a client following a motor-vehicle crash. The client refuses to provide a urine sample to check for substance use. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Documenting the refusal ensures legal and ethical compliance. Threatening catheterization is coercive, mentioning blood alcohol is irrelevant, and assessing incontinence is unrelated.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse administrator is using benchmarking as control criteria while reviewing current policies and procedures. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Benchmarking involves comparing facility practices to high-performing peers to identify improvements. Root cause analysis, future performance prediction, and work initiatives are not benchmarking.
