Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse in an ambulatory clinic administers a tuberculin skin test to a client on a Monday. When should the nurse tell the client to return to the clinic to have the results read?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The tuberculin skin test for tuberculosis is read in 48 to 72 hours; therefore, the client should return to the clinic on Wednesday or Thursday.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is developing goals for the postpartum client who is at risk for uterine infection. Which goal is most appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The uterus is theoretically sterile during pregnancy until the membranes rupture. However, it is capable of being invaded by pathogens after membrane rupture. The reduction of pain and Braxton Hicks contractions that occur during pregnancy are unrelated to the subject of infection. Reporting the treatment of infection indicates that an infection is present. Preventing an infection is a goal for the client who is at risk for infection.
Question 3 of 5
The community health is conducting a health screening clinic. The nurse interprets that which client participating in the screening is the highest priority client to provide instruction to lower the risk of developing respiratory disease?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The client who smokes and has exposure to cracked asbestos lining is at the highest risk for respiratory disease due to the combined effects of smoking and asbestos, both potent lung irritants. Smoking alone or other exposures (pesticides, woodworking) pose risks, but the dual exposure in option D is the most severe.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse in an ambulatory clinic administers a tuberculin skin test to a client on a Monday. When should the nurse tell the client to return to the clinic to have the results read?

Rationale: The tuberculin skin test for tuberculosis is read in 48 to 72 hours; therefore, the client should return to the clinic on Wednesday or Thursday.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse makes a home care visit to a client diagnosed with Bell's palsy. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bell's palsy is caused by a lower motor neuron lesion of the seventh cranial nerve that may result from infection, trauma, hemorrhage, meningitis, or tumor. It is not necessary for a client diagnosed with Bell's palsy to stay on a liquid diet. The client should be encouraged to chew on the unaffected side. Wearing an eye patch at night, dark glasses for daytime outings, and gently massaging the face identify accurate statements related to the management of Bell's palsy.
