Question 1 of 5
The nurse is admitting a client to the unit who says they would feel more reassured with an extra oxygen tank in their room because of a past incident when they were short of breath. Which of the following statements is the best response?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse should recognize the appropriate need for materials and equipment. The client's preference for extra equipment that other clients may need is not appropriate.
Question 2 of 5
There are many types of torts that can be committed against clients. They include all of the following except:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Felonies are criminal acts, not torts.
Torts against clients include assault, battery, negligence, slander, invasion of privacy, false imprisonment, and fraud.
Question 3 of 5
To provide optimal continuity of care, the nurse should do all of the following except:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: It is the nurse's responsibility to communicate the client's condition and care plan to the receiving facility to support continuity of care. Documentation of the client's baseline functional status is important for the receiving facility to work with in further goal setting. A copy of select portions of the medical record (according to facility policy) is another form of communication and supports continuity. A physician might be asked to be involved if there are specific medical needs or orders that she believe are important, but is generally not involved.
Question 4 of 5
As a type of quality indicator, an example of a structure standard is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Structure standards define all the conditions needed to operate, direct, and control a system. They do not address client care but rather describe structure with regard to purpose, such as philosophy, objectives, goals, hours of operation, and management responsibility.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following statements, if made by the parents of a newborn, does not indicate a need for further teaching about cord care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Parents should be taught to wash their hands before and after providing cord care. This prevents transferring pathogens to and from the cord. Folding the diaper below the cord exposes the cord to air and allows for drying. It also prevents wet or soiled diapers from coming into contact with the cord. Current recommendations include cleaning the area around the cord 3-4 times a day with a cotton swab but do not include putting alcohol or other antimicrobials on the cord. It is normal for the cord to turn dark as it dries.
