Question 1 of 5
The nurse is educating a teenage female about preventing the transmission of genital herpes. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Genital herpes can be transmitted through oral, genital, and anal sex. It is crucial to educate the patient that the infection can be transmitted via intercourse even when asymptomatic to prevent its spread.
Choice A is incorrect as sitting on toilet seats without protection does not transmit genital herpes.
Choice B is incorrect because oral sex can transmit the virus.
Choice D is also incorrect as drinking fluids after sex does not prevent the transmission of genital herpes.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following statements by a client with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) indicates adequate understanding?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct statement for a client with GERD is, 'I should sit up after eating.' This helps prevent reflux by keeping the stomach contents down.
Choice A is incorrect as eating right before bedtime can exacerbate GERD symptoms by increasing the likelihood of reflux during the night.
Choice B is incorrect because consuming large meals can lead to increased stomach pressure and worsen reflux symptoms.
Choice D is incorrect because lying flat after eating can promote reflux due to gravity assisting the flow of stomach contents into the esophagus, worsening GERD.
Question 3 of 5
The method of splinting is always dictated by:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'the severity of the client's condition and the priority decision.' When determining the method of splinting, it is crucial to consider the severity of the client's condition and make decisions based on their priority.
Choice A is incorrect because while the location of the injury and whether it is open or closed are important factors, they do not always dictate the method of splinting.
Choice C is incorrect as the number of available rescuers and the type of splints may impact the execution of splinting but do not solely dictate the method.
Choice D is incorrect as it suggests that all the factors mentioned dictate the method, but in reality, the severity of the client's condition and the priority decision are the primary factors.
Question 4 of 5
Why is accurate documentation of assessment findings regarding pressure ulcers crucial?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Accurate documentation of assessment findings regarding pressure ulcers is crucial because the nursing assessment of ulcers is a standard practice in nursing care. Documenting these findings not only ensures continuity of care but also plays a vital role in preventing further progression of the ulcer.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because while laws, hospital policies, and physician requirements may influence documentation practices, the primary reason for accurate documentation lies in the standards of nursing practice and the quality of patient care.
Question 5 of 5
The graduate licensed practical nurse is assigned to care for the client on ventilator support, pending organ donation. Which goal should receive priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When caring for a client on ventilator support pending organ donation, maintaining the systolic blood pressure at 70mmHg or greater is crucial to ensure a proper blood supply to the donor organ. This goal is a priority to maintain the viability of the organ for donation.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they are unnecessary and not directly related to the immediate goal of organ donation. Maintaining urinary output, body temperature, or hematocrit levels are not the primary concerns in this situation.
