Rationale: The correct answer is A: basic. The nurse in this scenario demonstrated basic critical thinking by following the surgeon's request without questioning or analyzing it further. She simply relayed the information and implemented the prescribed full liquid diet. The other choices are incorrect because: B: commitment implies a higher level of dedication and involvement, C: complex involves analyzing and synthesizing information which was not demonstrated in this situation, and D: integrity relates to honesty and ethical behavior rather than critical thinking level.
Question 2 of 5

Correct Answer: A, B, C
Rationale: The correct answer includes HPV, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccines. HPV is recommended for young adults to prevent certain cancers.

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.
