Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly hired nurse about cell phone use in the workplace. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Request for assistance from the client's room. This is the appropriate use of a cell phone in the workplace as it pertains to patient care and safety. It enables the nurse to seek immediate help in case of an emergency or when additional support is needed to provide quality care to the client. Sending a personal text (
B) and taking a photo of a client's incision site (
D) are violations of patient privacy and confidentiality. Calling the client's family member per their request (
C) may not be appropriate without prior consent or in situations where it could compromise the client's privacy.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a heart rate of 56/min. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Report of dizziness. A heart rate of 56/min is bradycardia, which can lead to decreased blood flow and potentially cause dizziness due to reduced oxygen delivery to the brain. A: High temperature is not directly related to heart rate. B: History of smoking may be a risk factor for heart issues but does not directly correlate with the heart rate in this case. D: Hypoglycemia may cause tachycardia, not bradycardia.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about incident reports. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Identify other people involved with the event in the incident report. This is crucial as it helps in documenting all individuals connected to the incident for further investigation or follow-up. Including a note in the medical record (
A) is important but not specific to incident reports. Including personal opinions (
C) can bias the report and compromise its objectivity. Identifying the person responsible (
D) is important but should not be the sole focus as other parties involved should also be documented.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about the novice-to-expert model for nursing competence to a group of nurses. A nurse who has some experience but still requires clinical support is in which of the following stages of competence?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Advanced beginner. At this stage, the nurse has moved past the novice stage but still requires guidance and supervision. They are able to recognize patterns and have gained some experience, yet they lack the confidence and proficiency of a proficient or competent nurse.
Choice A, Novice, is incorrect as it refers to someone with minimal experience and little knowledge.
Choice C, Proficient, and D, Competent, are incorrect because they describe nurses who have developed higher levels of skills and independence, which do not align with the description of needing clinical support.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide 40 mg IV. Available is furosemide 10 mg/1 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose?
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: The correct answer is 4 mL.
To calculate this, the nurse must divide the desired dose by the concentration available. So, 40 mg ÷ 10 mg/1 mL = 4 mL. This ensures the correct dosage is administered. Other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation method. Option A, for example, may be too high or too low, leading to underdosing or overdosing the medication. Options B-G are also incorrect as they do not align with the appropriate conversion of dosage to mL based on the concentration provided.
