Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about the function of the large intestine. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The large intestine absorbs liquid to form stool, aiding in waste elimination.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has impaired mobility. Which of the following support devices should the nurse plan to use to prevent the client from developing plantar flexion contractures?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sheepskin heel pad: A sheepskin heel pad provides cushioning to prevent pressure ulcers but does not prevent plantar flexion contractures as it does not keep the foot in a neutral position. Abduction pillow: An abduction pillow is used to maintain hip abduction and alignment, typically after hip surgery. It does not address foot positioning or prevent plantar flexion. Footboard: A footboard helps maintain the feet in dorsiflexion, preventing plantar flexion contractures. It keeps the feet at a 90-degree angle to the legs, which is essential for preventing contractures. Trochanter roll: A trochanter roll is used to maintain the alignment of the hips and prevent external rotation of the legs. It does not prevent plantar flexion contractures.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to examine the breasts of a client. In what position should the nurse place the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Lithotomy: The lithotomy position is primarily used for gynecological exams and procedures, where the client is lying on their back with legs elevated and supported. It is not appropriate for breast examination. Sims: The Sims position, where the client is lying on their side with one knee bent, is typically used for rectal exams and certain types of enemas. It is not suitable for breast examination. Supine: The supine position, where the client lies flat on their back, is the most appropriate for breast examination. This position allows for better palpation and inspection of the breasts and facilitates a thorough examination. Prone: The prone position involves lying face down. This position does not provide access to the breasts and is not used for breast examination.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who needs a stool specimen collected. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when obtaining the specimen?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sending the specimen immediately to the lab ensures accurate analysis while the sample is fresh.
Question 5 of 5
Which type of play is most typical of the toddler stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Parallel play: Parallel play is typical of toddlers, where they play alongside each other but do not interact or play directly with each other. This is a key stage in social development where they start to notice peers but prefer independent activities. Cooperative play: Cooperative play involves children playing together with a common goal or activity. This type of play is more typical of older preschoolers and school-age children. Solitary play: Solitary play is common in infants and very young toddlers where they play alone and are not engaged with others. By the toddler stage, children often progress to parallel play. Associative play: Associative play involves children interacting and playing together, but not with a structured goal or organization. This typically develops after parallel play, around the preschool age.
