Question 1 of 5
A visitor accidentally knocks over a plastic pleural drainage system connected to a client, and it cracks. What should the nurse do first?

Question 2 of 5
The presence of which hormone in the urine is specifically indicative of pregnancy?

Question 3 of 5
A client has sustained a hyphema. What intervention should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Initial care of the client involves preventing further damage and rebleeding. Clients are kept at bed rest if possible, usually with the head of the bed raised. TV watching is permitted but not reading. The use of atropine, ice, and eye shields are controversial, and a nurse should not administer a pharmacologic agent or thermal therapy without a physician's order.
Question 4 of 5
A health care worker is concerned about a new mother being overwhelmed by caring for her infant. What should the health care worker do?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When a health care worker is concerned about a new mother being overwhelmed by caring for her infant, the best course of action is to refer the mother to parenting classes. Prevention of child abuse is focused on educating parents on how to care for their child and handle the demands of infant care. By attending parenting classes, the mother can build self-confidence, self-esteem, and coping skills. Parenting classes help parents understand the developmental needs of their children and learn effective ways to manage their home environment. Additionally, these classes provide parents with increased social contacts and knowledge about community resources. Contacting child protective services (choice
A) should not be the immediate action as there is no indication of abuse. Providing literature about child care (choice
B) may not be as effective as hands-on parenting classes. Consulting a therapist (choice
C) may be beneficial, but addressing parenting skills through classes is more appropriate in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
Social support systems include all of the following except:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is the use of coping skills and verbalization for anger management. Social support systems involve external sources of support from others or the community. Call-in help lines, emotional assistance provided by others, and community support groups all represent social support systems where individuals can seek help and assistance from outside sources. On the other hand, the use of coping skills and verbalization for anger management refers to individual strategies rather than external social support.
