Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Removing the crib gym shows an understanding of safety as they are often a suffocation hazard for infants. Soft mattresses and fluffy pillows increase the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The child-safety gate is a positive step but not as critical as removing a potential suffocation hazard.
Question 3 of 5
When entering a client's room to change a dressing, the nurse notes the client is coughing & sneezing. When preparing a sterile field, it's important the nurse...
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Place mask on client to limit the spread of microorganisms into the surgical wound. By placing a mask on the client who is coughing and sneezing, the nurse can help prevent the spread of microorganisms from the client's respiratory secretions into the sterile field during the dressing change. This reduces the risk of contamination and infection of the wound.
Choice A is incorrect because keeping the sterile field 6 ft away may not effectively prevent microorganisms from reaching the field.
Choice B is incorrect as it is unrealistic to expect a client to completely stop coughing and sneezing.
Choice D is incorrect as providing Kleenex does not address the potential spread of microorganisms into the wound.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hypotension. In heat stroke, the body's cooling system fails, leading to a rapid rise in body temperature. This can cause vasodilation, leading to decreased blood pressure (hypotension) as the body tries to cool down. Bradycardia (
B) is unlikely because the body typically increases heart rate to try to cool itself down. Clammy skin (
C) is a common symptom of heat exhaustion, not heat stroke. Bradypnea (
D) refers to slow breathing, which is not typically associated with heat stroke. Overall, hypotension is the most relevant response as it directly relates to the body's response to heat stroke and the failure of its cooling mechanisms.
