Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse working in an emergency department is caring for a group of clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse report for suspected maltreatment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A toddler crying when a parent enters suggests fear, a red flag for maltreatment. Adolescent silence may be normal, regression in toilet training is common under stress, and abrasions may result from play, none of which strongly indicate abuse.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is planning to develop a standard for removal of indwelling urinary catheters from clients following colon resection. Which of the following resources should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A critical pathway provides standardized, evidence-based protocols for managing post-operative care, including catheter removal. Provider prescriptions are patient-specific, Maslow’s hierarchy prioritizes needs but not clinical guidelines, and surgical records document procedures, not protocols.
Question 3 of 5
A charge nurse is reviewing information about HIPAA with a group of staff nurses. Which of the following statements by a staff nurse indicates understanding?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: HIPAA allows clients to review their records, ensuring transparency. Facility coding isn’t specified, research participants retain rights, and provider photos aren’t the focus of HIPAA.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse manager observes an assistive personnel (AP) incorrectly transferring a client to the bedside commode. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Helping the AP with the transfer prioritizes client safety by preventing injury. Referring to the manual, instructing for future tasks, or demonstrating technique are secondary to immediate safety.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medication administration record of a client and notices that an additional dose of medication has been administered. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Observing the client’s condition first ensures identification of adverse effects, prioritizing safety. Notifying the provider, reporting, or informing the supervisor follow after assessment.
