Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse manager overhears multiple conversations on a hospital unit. Based on the statement made, the nurse manager should initiate the process for reporting incivility with which person?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The HCP's statement to the client is demeaning and uncivil, warranting a report for incivility.
Question 2 of 5
The orientation nurse educator reviewing the biohazard legend with a class of new employees states that the emblem is affixed to containers whenever:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When body substances are handled, the potential for transmission is increased; therefore, federal regulations require warning labels to communicate with other employees and/or waste collectors. The biohazard alert is a three-ring symbol overlaying a central concentric ring. Blood, drainage from wounds, feces, and urine are all body fluids that can transfer infection and disease to others.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is planning care for an 18 month-old child. Which action should be included in the child's care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Encourage the child to feed himself finger food. According to Erikson, the toddler is in the stage of autonomy versus shame and doubt. The nurse should encourage increasingly independent activities of daily living that allow the toddler to assert his budding sense of control.
Question 4 of 5
The mother calls the nurse to ask when her newborn will be brought back to her room to finish feeding. The mother states that a doctor came about 30 minutes ago to take the baby for an examination and has not returned with her baby. Which action should be taken by the nurse first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The suspicious circumstance of a doctor taking the baby for 30 minutes warrants immediate initiation of abduction procedures to ensure the newborn's safety.
