Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Nurse reviewing CDC's immunization recommendations with parents of adolescent. Which should nurse include in this discussion?
Correct Answer: B, D, E
Rationale: The correct answers are B (varicella), D (HPV), and E (seasonal influenza) because they are vaccines recommended for adolescents by the CDC. Varicella vaccine protects against chickenpox, HPV vaccine prevents certain types of cancers, and seasonal influenza vaccine helps prevent the flu. Rotavirus (
A) is typically given to infants, herpes zoster (
C) is for older adults, not adolescents. Options F and G are not provided.
Question 2 of 5
Occupational health nurse is caring for employee with chemical burn from unknown chemical. Which intervention should nurse include in care plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Brush chemical off skin & clothing. This intervention is crucial to prevent further absorption of the unknown chemical into the skin. Brushing off the chemical helps to remove any remaining particles from the skin and clothing, reducing the risk of prolonged exposure and further damage. Irrigating with water (choice
A) may spread the chemical and worsen the burn. Washing with antibacterial soap (choice
B) is not effective for chemical burns. Applying a neutralizing agent (choice
D) can be harmful if the chemical is unknown. In this case, immediate removal of the chemical is the priority to minimize damage.
Question 3 of 5
Nurse reviewing CDC's immunization recommendations with middle adult. Which should nurse include in this discussion?
Correct Answer: B, C, E
Rationale: The correct choices (B, C, E) are essential immunizations for middle adults based on CDC recommendations. Varicella vaccine protects against chickenpox, herpes zoster vaccine against shingles, and seasonal influenza vaccine against flu. Middle-aged adults are at increased risk for these diseases, hence discussing these vaccines is crucial. Option A (Haemophilus influenzae type b) is not typically recommended for middle-aged adults. Option D (HPV) is important but typically recommended for younger individuals.
Therefore, it is not a priority for middle adults.
Question 4 of 5
Nurse on peds unit is caring for adolescent with multiple fractures. Which interventions are appropriate for client?
Correct Answer: B, E
Rationale: The correct answer is B and E. Providing a TV and DVDs for the adolescent to watch can help distract him from the pain and boredom, promoting psychological well-being. Allowing him to perform his own morning care promotes independence and self-esteem.
Choice A is incorrect as rooming in with parents may not be suitable for an adolescent seeking independence.
Choice C is incorrect as limiting visitors can lead to social isolation.
Choice D is incorrect as rigidity in routines may not cater to the adolescent's individual needs.
Question 5 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.
