Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client has expired secondary to smallpox. Which information about funeral arrangements is most important for the nurse to provide to the client’s family?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Notifying the public health department is critical for smallpox, a highly contagious disease, to ensure containment. Cremation, open caskets, and rapid burial are secondary.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class about rape prevention to a group of women at a community center. Which information is not a myth about rape?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rape is about power and control, not sexual desire, a fact. Provocative dressing, misinterpreting 'no,' and excluding male victims are myths.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class on disaster preparedness. Which are components of an emergency operations plan (EOP)? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,D,E
Rationale: An EOP includes practice drills, deactivation, preincident planning, and security. Communication plans include external stakeholders, not just internal.
Question 4 of 5
The occupational health nurse is called to the scene of a traumatic amputation of a finger. Which intervention should the nurse implement prior to sending the client to the ED? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale: Rinsing with saline, wrapping in moist gauze, and sealing in a plastic bag preserve the amputated finger for reimplantation. Iced saline damages tissue, and replacing on the hand is incorrect.
Question 5 of 5
The ED nurse is caring for a male client admitted with carbon monoxide poisoning. Which intervention requires the nurse to notify the rapid response team?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Stridor indicates airway obstruction, and dizziness suggests worsening CO toxicity, requiring rapid response. Black sputum, suicidal intent, and 94% SpO2 are less acute.
