Question 1 of 5
Ethical and moral issues concerning restraints include all of the following except:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'policies and procedures.' While policies and procedures are important for guidance and structure, they do not inherently involve ethical or moral considerations. The emotional impact on the client and family, the dignity of the client, and the client's quality of life are all directly related to ethical and moral concerns when it comes to the use of restraints. These factors are crucial in ensuring that the use of restraints is not only physically necessary but also ethically justifiable and respects the individual's rights and well-being.
Therefore, options A, B, and C are all aspects that touch upon ethical and moral dimensions in the context of restraints.
Question 2 of 5
What can happen if a restraint is attached to a side rail or other movable part of the bed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Attaching a restraint to a movable part of the bed can lead to client injury if that part of the bed is moved before releasing restraints. This could result in the client getting caught or trapped, possibly causing harm.
Choices C and D are incorrect because attaching restraints to movable parts of the bed is not intended to help the client stay in bed or improve posture; rather, it poses a risk of injury.
Choice A is incorrect as it does not address the potential harm associated with using restraints on movable parts of the bed.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is not a function of parathyroid hormone?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'inhibiting renal tubular reabsorption of phosphorus.' Parathyroid hormone actually inhibits renal tubular reabsorption of phosphorus, making this choice the opposite of its function. Parathyroid hormone functions to move calcium from bones to the bloodstream (
Choice
A), promote renal tubular reabsorption of calcium (
Choice
C), and enhance renal production of vitamin D metabolites (
Choice
D).
Therefore, all other choices are functions of parathyroid hormone except for the inhibition of phosphorus reabsorption.
Question 4 of 5
What sign might the nurse observe in a client with a high ammonia level?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Coma is a sign that a nurse might observe in a client with a high ammonia level. Elevated ammonia levels can lead to hepatic encephalopathy, a condition characterized by impaired brain function, which can progress to coma. Edema (choice
B) is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in body tissues, not typically associated with high ammonia levels. Hypoxia (choice
C) is a condition of inadequate oxygen supply to tissues and is not directly related to high ammonia levels. Polyuria (choice
D) refers to excessive urination and is not a typical sign of high ammonia levels.

Choice
A) is used for diseases transmitted by airborne particles, not secretions and blood. Contact Isolation (
Choice
C) is for clients known or suspected to be infected with microorganisms that can be transmitted by direct or indirect contact. Droplet Isolation (
