Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Nurses perform numerous tasks that demand skills, judgment, precise motor control, and other forms of expertise that are challenging to replicate using AI. One example of such a skill that is difficult to replicate is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Intravenous insertion requires precise motor control, anatomical knowledge, and patient interaction, making it hard for AI to replicate. Translation (
A), dispensing (
C), and inventory (
D) are more automatable.
Question 2 of 5
In your role as the head nurse responsible for choosing patient surveillance systems for your unit, one of your objectives is to prevent adverse events by deploying suitable technology. This specific objective acknowledges that:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Physiologic monitoring systems allow for the identification of early changes prior to the occurrence of an adverse event. This is the most accurate description of the objective.

By identifying these changes early, interventions can be made promptly to prevent adverse events, thereby improving patient safety and outcomes. Documentation (
A), readability (
C), and human error (
D) are relevant but secondary to early detection via monitoring systems.

A) lacks supervision, refraining (
B) hinders learning, and observation (
C) limits hands-on practice.
Question 5 of 5

Correct Answer: A,B,C,E
Rationale: Unplug the cord by grasping the plug (
A), ensure the plug has three prongs (
B), avoid rolling equipment over cords (
C), and do not run additional cords under carpeting (E) are all correct. These actions prevent electrical shock, fire hazards, and equipment damage. Grasping the plug avoids cord damage, three-pronged plugs ensure grounding, avoiding cord damage prevents exposure, and not running cords under carpets prevents overheating. Plugging away from the sink (
D) is less critical with GFCI outlets.
