Question 1 of 5
The 38-year-old client was brought to the emergency department with CPR in progress and expired 15 minutes after arrival. Which intervention should the nurse implement for postmortem care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Preparing the body (e.g., cleaning, positioning) respects dignity and funeral home needs. Denying family access, leaving tubes, or laundering clothes is inappropriate.
Question 2 of 5
The client is dying and wants to talk to the nurse about heaven. Which is the nurse's best nursing action?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Allowing discussion of heaven respects client spirituality, per holistic care. Chaplain referral, prohibiting discussion, or prompting hell discussion is less supportive.
Question 3 of 5
Which act protects the nurse against a malpractice claim when the nurse stops at a motor-vehicle accident and renders emergency care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The Good Samaritan Act protects nurses providing emergency care voluntarily, limiting malpractice liability. HIPAA, Nurse Practice Act, or fictional acts don’t apply.
