Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse should instill the eyedrops into which part of the client's eye?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Instilling drops in the lower conjunctival sac ensures proper distribution and minimizes corneal irritation.
Question 2 of 5
The home health nurse is visiting an elderly client who shows the nurse an area of rough skin with a greasy feel and multiple papules. Which information should the nurse provide the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rough, greasy papules may indicate seborrheic keratosis, requiring HCP evaluation at the next visit. Immediate visits, dismissing as normal, or OTC wart removers are inappropriate.
Question 3 of 5
Which nursing interventions should be included for the client who has full-thickness and deep partial-thickness burns to 50% of the body? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C,E
Rationale: Hand hygiene, sterile gloves, gown/mask, and antibiotics prevent infection in extensive burns. Weekly central line changes are not standard; daily assessment is preferred.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class on the prevention of cancer. Which information should be included regarding how to reduce the risk of skin cancer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Avoiding prolonged sun exposure reduces ultraviolet radiation damage, a primary risk factor for skin cancer.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is irrigating the arm of the client with an acid burn. Which factors should prompt the nurse to continue with the irrigation? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: The presence of a burning sensation may indicate that some acid remains on the skin and additional irrigation is needed. The presence of pain, even though reduced, could indicate that not all of the acid has been removed from the skin. A pH of 4.8 is acidic and indicates there is still acid residue that needs to be removed. A pH of 7 indicates a nonacidic status, which would be a positive finding. The absence of pain would indicate that all acid was removed before it could damage the skin.
