1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about nonpharmacological therapies to decrease stress. The nurse should include which of the following therapies? (Select All that Apply)
Correct Answer: A,C,D,E
Rationale: Yoga, meditation, acupuncture, and biofeedback reduce stress through physical, mental, and physiological regulation. Electromagnetic therapy is used for pain or healing, not stress.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a postoperative patient. Which finding will alert the nurse to a potential wound dehiscence?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A patient reporting 'something has given way' is a significant indicator of potential wound dehiscence, as it suggests partial or complete separation of surgical wound layers. Chronic drainage may indicate infection or poor healing, purulent drainage suggests infection, and protrusion of organs indicates evisceration, a later stage of dehiscence, not an early warning sign.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving oxygen at $2 \mathrm{~L}/\min$ via a nasal cannula. The nurse recognizes the client is receiving which of the following inspired oxygen concentration?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: At 2 L/min via nasal cannula, the inspired oxygen concentration is approximately 24-28%, as each liter adds about 4% to the room air’s 21%. Thus, 28% is correct.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who received an opioid narcotic for incisional pain. Which of the following findings is the priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Level of sedation is the priority, as opioids can cause significant sedation and respiratory depression. Over-sedation is a precursor to serious complications like respiratory arrest, making it critical to monitor.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who has pertussis. Which of the following types of transmission-based precautions should the nurse initiate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pertussis is primarily spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Droplet precautions, including wearing a surgical mask within 3 feet of the client and placing the client in a private room, prevent transmission. Airborne precautions are for diseases like tuberculosis, contact precautions for infections like MRSA, and protective precautions are for immunocompromised clients, not pertussis.
