1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about palliative care. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Palliative care focuses on symptom relief and quality of life for serious illnesses, not just terminal cases, and can be provided alongside curative treatments. It is not limited to healthcare facilities and can occur at home or in clinics. Prolonging life is not the primary goal, and it complements, not avoids, curative care.
Question 2 of 5
The client has been admitted and placed on fall precautions. The nurse explains to the patient that interventions for the precautions include:
Correct Answer: A,C,E
Rationale: A fall-risk armband alerts staff, a low bed reduces injury risk, and an accessible call light enables assistance requests. Checking once per shift is insufficient, and four side rails may cause entrapment.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse obtained a telephone order from a primary care provider for a patient in pain. Which chart entry should the nurse document?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct entry includes the accurate date, medication, dosage, frequency, reason, telephone order notation (TO), provider’s name, nurse’s initials, and read-back confirmation for accuracy. Option A uses an invalid abbreviation (TOJ), B lacks read-back, and D incorrectly uses VO (verbal order).
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a client that has been having pain without a clear etiology. Which nursing diagnosis should the nurse write as most appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: ‘Acute pain related to unknown etiology’ accurately reflects the pain’s unclear cause, guiding further assessment. Option A lacks etiology, B assumes a psychosomatic cause without evidence, and D is less precise than ‘etiology.’
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to transfer a client who has left-sided weakness from a sitting position in bed to a chair. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Locking bed wheels ensures stability during transfer, enhancing safety. A 90° chair angle complicates movement, the chair should be on the strong side, and raising the bed excessively risks unsafe positioning.
