Coordinated Care NCLEX PN Questions | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Ethics committees do not deal with financial matters of payment. Euthanasia, starting or stopping treatment, and use of feeding tubes to maintain nutritional status are topics within the ethical scope of the committee's function.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The four categories of client care plans are diagnosis, intervention, outcome, and evaluation.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Parents should be taught to wash their hands before and after providing cord care. This prevents transferring pathogens to and from the cord. Folding the diaper below the cord exposes the cord to air and allows for drying. It also prevents wet or soiled diapers from coming into contact with the cord. Current recommendations include cleaning the area around the cord 3-4 times a day with a cotton swab but do not include putting alcohol or other antimicrobials on the cord. It is normal for the cord to turn dark as it dries.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Treatment may be given without consent in a life-threatening situation. All attempts to notify a durable power of attorney for health care should be made. If unavailable, the physician assumes responsibility for treatment within facility protocol. The physician is obligated to have a discussion with the client in all non-life-threatening situations. If clients are not able to speak for themselves, their power of attorney for health care or responsible party is involved in the consent process.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Treatment procedures are standards of care as defined by the facility or nursing unit. If a treatment is indicated, the nurse is obligated to follow the established procedure to be compliant with practice standards. Established priorities contribute to the determination of time management, appropriate interventions, and the need for client education as a potential intervention.
