Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Before the client leaves the emergency department, which nursing instruction is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Avoiding nose blowing prevents dislodging clots and restarting bleeding.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse observes the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) squeezing the 'blackheads' on an elderly client. Which action should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Stopping the UAP prevents harm from inappropriate skin manipulation. Notification, demonstration, and reporting follow.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching a 24-year-old female with severe cystic acne who is prescribed a systemic retinoic acid drug. Which question is priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A systemic retinoic acid drug is teratogenic. A sexually active female must be instructed to practice birth control while taking this class of drugs, to avoid pregnancy. Allergy, skin sensitivity, and adherence are important but not the priority.
Question 4 of 5
The intensive care unit (ICU) burn nurse is developing a nursing care plan for a client with severe full-thickness and deep partial-thickness burns over half the body. Which client problem has priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Extensive burns increase infection risk due to loss of skin barrier; this is the priority. Coping, mobility, and knowledge are secondary in acute burn care.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with squamous cell skin cancer and writes a psychosocial problem of 'fear.' Which nursing interventions should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Verbalizing fear helps address anxiety and promotes coping. Dismissing fears, deferring to HCP, or procedure instruction are less therapeutic.
