Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about the role of nurses during a facility disaster. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Recommending stable clients for discharge frees resources, showing understanding. Media communication is for designated staff, prescribing is for providers, and performance improvement isn’t a disaster priority.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in a rehabilitation facility is administering medications to a client who was admitted earlier that day. The client refuses two of the medications, stating, 'I’ve never taken these before.' Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reviewing the medication’s purpose addresses the client’s concerns, promoting adherence. Calling the provider, consulting the pharmacist, or comparing records are secondary to engaging the client.
Question 3 of 5
While auditing the medical records of clients currently on an oncology unit, the nurse manager finds that six of the 15 records lack documentation regarding advance directives. Which of the following is the priority action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Meeting with staff to review policy addresses systemic documentation issues, ensuring consistent practice. Reinforcing consequences or asking nurses to obtain information are secondary, and reminders don’t address current gaps.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing a client for surgery. The client expresses concern that someone might steal her purse during the procedure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Placing the purse in the facility safe ensures security. Bedside drawers and clothing bags are insecure, and the nurses’ station is less formal than the safe.
