Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse receives an order from the provider for a client requiring the highest oxygen concentration with a one-way valve. What type of mask should the nurse apply to the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A non-rebreather mask delivers nearly 100% oxygen with a one-way valve to prevent rebreathing. Simple and partial rebreather masks lack this, and Venturi delivers precise, lower concentrations.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for ferrous sulfate. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Vitamin C enhances iron absorption. Ferrous sulfate duration varies, milk inhibits absorption, and stools are dark green/tarry, not red.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is educating nursing students on how to properly administer potassium chloride (KCL) via infusion. Which of the following statements below are true regarding KCL administration?
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: Insulin/dextrose treats hyperkalemia, IV KCL is never pushed to avoid arrhythmias, and infusion may cause irritation. Push boluses are dangerous, and position is irrelevant.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient with a pressure ulcer on the left hip. The ulcer is black. Which next step will the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Black necrotic tissue requires debridement to promote healing and prevent infection. Drainage management, documentation, and monitoring follow debridement.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is completing an 8-hour intake and output (I&O) record for a client who consumed 4 oz juice, 6 oz hot tea, 100 mL ice chips, an IV bolus of 150 mL, and 8 oz broth. The nurse should record how many mL of intake on the client's record?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Total intake is calculated as: 4 oz juice (120 mL), 6 oz tea (180 mL), 100 mL ice chips (50 mL, half volume), 150 mL IV bolus, 8 oz broth (240 mL), summing to 740 mL. 700 mL is closest, accounting for practical rounding.
