Question 1 of 5
Nurse is reviewing safety precautions with group of young adults at community health fair. Which recommendations should nurse include specifically for this age group?
Correct Answer: B, C, D
Rationale: The correct recommendations for young adults are wearing a helmet while skiing (
B), installing a carbon monoxide detector (
C), and securing firearms in a safe location (
D). Wearing a helmet while skiing is important for preventing head injuries during recreational activities. Installing a carbon monoxide detector is crucial as young adults may live in shared housing or apartments where carbon monoxide poisoning can occur. Securing firearms in a safe location is essential to prevent accidental injuries or misuse. The other choices are not specific to the safety needs of young adults. Bath rails and grab bars (
A) are more relevant for older adults, while removing throw rugs (E) is a general safety tip for preventing falls that is not age-specific.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse on med-surg unit has received change-of-shift report & will care for 4 clients. Which of following client's needs may nurse assign to AP?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The nurse can assign reapplying a condom catheter for a client with urinary incontinence to an assistive personnel (AP). This task is within the scope of practice for an AP as it does not require specialized nursing knowledge or assessment skills. It is a routine task that can be safely delegated. The other options require nursing assessment, critical thinking, or specialized skills, making them inappropriate for delegation to an AP. For example, feeding a client with aspiration pneumonia requires monitoring for signs of aspiration; reinforcing teaching for walking with a quad cane requires assessing the client's gait and balance; applying a sterile dressing to a pressure ulcer requires knowledge of wound care principles. Assigning these tasks to an AP could compromise client safety and outcomes.
