Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse overhears two assistive personnel discussing a client's medical history in the hallway. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Telling the staff members to stop their discussion is correct. The nurse should immediately address the situation by asking the APs to stop discussing the client's medical history in the hallway to protect client confidentiality. This is the most immediate and effective action in ensuring the client's privacy is respected.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing preoperative care to a client who reports he has no one at home to help him after his outpatient surgery. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assist with a referral to a home health care agency is correct. If the client has no one to assist them at home after surgery, a home health care agency can provide the necessary support. This is a proactive solution to ensure the client has assistance for postoperative recovery, including monitoring for complications, assistance with mobility, and other care needs.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an indwelling catheter with a urinary drainage system. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Securing the tubing with adhesive tape to the lower abdomen is correct. For male clients, securing the catheter to the lower abdomen prevents urethral trauma and tension. For female clients, the catheter is typically secured to the inner thigh to minimize movement and irritation.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for NPH insulin 10 units and regular insulin 15 units subcutaneously. After injecting 10 units of air into the NPH insulin vial, which of the following actions should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Injecting 15 units of air into the regular insulin vial is correct. When drawing up two types of insulin, the nurse should first inject air into the NPH (cloudy) insulin vial without withdrawing the medication.
Then, the nurse should inject air into the regular (clear) insulin vial before withdrawing the regular insulin. This prevents contamination and maintains proper insulin mixing procedures.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for an epinephrine auto-injector. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Injecting into the thigh ensures rapid absorption of epinephrine to treat anaphylaxis effectively.
