Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse and an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are caring for clients on a medical unit. Which nursing task cannot be delegated to the UAP?
Correct Answer: B

Question 2 of 5
The ED nurse is caring for a client with fractured pelvis and bladder trauma secondary to a motor-vehicle accident. Which data are most important for the nurse to assess?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Amount and color of urine (e.g., hematuria) indicate bladder trauma severity, guiding intervention. Creatinine/BUN, output, and distention are important but secondary.

Which situation requires the emergency department manager to schedule and conduct a Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: CISM addresses emotional trauma, critical for staff after a child’s death from abuse. CPR death is routine, bus accidents without fatalities are less traumatic, and long hours are logistical.
