Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Nurse educator conducting parenting class for new parents. Which statement made by participant indicates need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. This statement indicates a need for further teaching because it is not safe to leave a baby unattended in the bathtub even if they can sit up. Babies can easily slip or move unexpectedly, leading to a potential drowning risk. Teaching should emphasize the importance of constant supervision during bath time.
Choice A is incorrect as it highlights an unsafe practice of initiating swimming lessons too early for an infant.
Choice C demonstrates proper safety measures by testing water temperature.
Choice D shows awareness of removing potential hazards from the infant's environment.
Question 2 of 5
A home health nurse is discussing dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning with client. Which of following info should nurse include in her counseling?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Carbon monoxide binds with Hgb in the body. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas, so it does not have a distinct odor (choice
A). Water heaters should be inspected annually, not every 5 years (choice
B). Carbon monoxide poisoning affects the blood's ability to carry oxygen, not the lungs directly (choice
C). By binding with hemoglobin, carbon monoxide reduces the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity, leading to tissue hypoxia and potentially fatal consequences.
Therefore, it is crucial for the nurse to emphasize this information during counseling to help the client understand the serious implications of carbon monoxide exposure.
Question 3 of 5
Nurse educator presenting on basic first aid for new home health nurses. She evaluates teaching as effective when new nurse states client who has heat stroke will have which of following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hypotension. In heat stroke, the body's temperature regulation fails, leading to vasodilation and dehydration. This results in decreased blood pressure (hypotension) as the body struggles to cool down.
Choices B (Bradycardia), C (Clammy skin), and D (Bradypnea) are not typical signs of heat stroke. Bradycardia is a slower heart rate, which is usually not seen in heat stroke as the body tries to cool itself. Clammy skin may be present in heat exhaustion but not necessarily in heat stroke. Bradypnea, or slow breathing, is not a common symptom of heat stroke, which is more associated with rapid breathing due to the body's attempt to cool down.
Question 4 of 5
Home health nurse is discussing dangers of food poisoning with client. Which info should nurse include in counseling? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,C,E
Rationale: The correct answers are B, C, and E.
B: Immunocompromised individuals have weakened immune systems, making them more susceptible to severe complications from food poisoning.
C: Clients at risk should consume only pasteurized dairy products to avoid harmful bacteria. Unpasteurized dairy can contain pathogens.
E: Separating raw and fresh foods prevents cross-contamination, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses.
Incorrect:
A: Most food poisoning is caused by bacteria, not viruses.
D: Healthy individuals may recover faster, typically within a few days, not weeks.
Question 5 of 5
Nurse is caring for client receiving enteral tube feedings due to dysphagia. Which of following bed positions is appropriate for safe care of this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Semi-Fowler's position. This position helps prevent aspiration during enteral tube feedings by aiding in proper digestion and reducing the risk of reflux. Semi-Fowler's position also helps facilitate optimal absorption of nutrients. Supine position (
A) can increase the risk of aspiration. Semi-prone (
C) and Trendelenburg (
D) positions are not recommended for enteral feedings as they can lead to complications such as regurgitation and aspiration.
