Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse in an outpatient rehabilitation facility is working with convicted child abusers. Which characteristics should the nurse expect to observe in the abusers? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale: Child abusers often deny accusations (calling the child a liar), exhibit violence, and resist help due to denial. Low self-esteem is more common, and being spoiled is not typical.
Question 2 of 5
A gastric lavage has been ordered for a client who is comatose and who ingested a full bottle of acetaminophen, a nonnarcotic analgesic. Which intervention should be included in the procedure? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,C,D,E
Rationale: Left-side positioning with head down prevents aspiration, suction clears secretions, withdrawing and irrigating removes poison, and lab analysis confirms ingestion. Small-bore tubes are inadequate for lavage.
Question 3 of 5
Which expected outcome is priority for the nurse who is caring for a client with chest trauma from a gunshot injury?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Symmetrical chest expansion ensures adequate ventilation, critical in chest trauma to prevent pneumothorax or hemothorax. Pain, low BP, and urine output are secondary.
