Question 1 of 5
The nurse is working on discharge planning for a 25-year-old hospitalized client diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The client has significant bilateral lower extremities muscle weakness. Which of the following facilities should the nurse expect this client to be discharged to?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A rehabilitation facility (
C) offers specialized therapies to improve mobility and function for MS patients with significant weakness. Home care (
A) is less intensive, sub-acute care (
B) is for less specialized needs, and skilled nursing (
D) is for long-term care.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching the family of a client who has a new diagnosis of epilepsy about actions to take if the client experiences a seizure. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Moving objects away from the client during a seizure prevents injury from collisions with nearby items, ensuring a safe environment. Inserting a tongue blade is dangerous and can cause harm, restraining the client may cause injury, and placing the client on their back risks aspiration; instead, the side-lying position is preferred.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is conducting triage of clients transported from a mass casualty incident (MCI). A client arrives saturated with an unknown substance and medical transport reports feeling dizzy. The nurse should prioritize which actions? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY
Correct Answer: B,C,E
Rationale: Removing the client and crew (
B), contacting the decontamination team (
C), and removing saturated clothing (E) prevent further exposure to the unknown substance. Assigning a private room (
A) is less urgent, and identifying the chemical (
D) is secondary to immediate decontamination.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who was brought into the emergency room following a seizure. The nurse suspects the client may have meningococcal meningitis when assessment findings include nuchal rigidity and a petechial rash. After implementing droplet precautions, which of the following actions should the nurse initiate next?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Assessing the cranial nerves is critical next to evaluate neurological impairment in suspected meningococcal meningitis, indicated by nuchal rigidity and petechial rash. This assessment guides treatment by identifying central nervous system involvement. Administering antipyretics, vascular assessments, and decreasing stimuli are supportive but less urgent than neurological assessment.
