Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse working in the emergency department is admitting a 34-year-old female client for one of multiple admissions for spousal abuse. The client has refused to leave her husband or to press charges against him. Which action should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Providing a women’s shelter number empowers the client with resources without coercion. Insisting on charges, minimal treatment, or fear tactics disrespect autonomy.
Question 2 of 5
According to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) triage system, which situation is considered a level red (Priority 1)?

Rationale: NATO red (Priority 1) indicates life-threatening injuries survivable with immediate intervention (e.g., tension pneumothorax). Extensive injuries are black, minor are green, and significant but delayed are yellow.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class on bioterrorism and is discussing personal protective equipment (PPE). Which statement is the most important fact for the nurse to share with the participants?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Proper PPE training ensures safe use, critical for protection. Mask placement, hazard specificity, and EPA levels are secondary.
Question 4 of 5
Which equipment must be immediately brought to the client’s bedside when a code is called for a client who has experienced a cardiac arrest?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A crash cart contains defibrillator, medications, and airway equipment, essential for cardiac arrest. Ventilator, gurney, and oxygen are secondary or supportive.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is teaching the client home care instructions for a reimplanted finger after a traumatic amputation. Which information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Protecting the reimplanted finger prevents reinjury, critical for healing. ROM timing varies, smoking impairs circulation, and multiple symptoms warrant HCP contact.
