Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The provider has admitted the client to the inpatient obstetrics unit and written prescriptions based on the client's condition. The action the nurse should take first is Select from Options 1 followed by Select from Options 1.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Evaluating the fetal heart rate tracing is the priority to assess fetal well-being in preeclampsia, guiding further interventions. Urine collection, medications, and catheterization follow based on fetal status.
Question 2 of 5
A charge nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about medication administration. Which of the following information should the charge nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Informing clients about the action of each medication promotes patient education, enhances adherence, and improves outcomes. Avoiding preparing medications for multiple clients reduces errors but is not an absolute rule. Reading labels multiple times is good practice but not always a standard requirement. Incident reports are needed only for adverse reactions or errors, not routine vomiting.
Question 3 of 5
A home health nurse is planning care for a client who has Alzheimer's disease. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Placing locks at the tops of exterior doors prevents wandering, a common and dangerous behavior in Alzheimer's patients, ensuring safety. Zippers versus buttons don't address safety. Hardwood floors may reduce falls but aren't specific to Alzheimer's. Physical activity before bed may disrupt sleep, not enhance safety.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of bipolar disorder. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect during a manic episode?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rapid speech is typical in a manic episode of bipolar disorder, reflecting accelerated thoughts. Hypersomnia, weight gain, and flat affect are more associated with depression.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving brachytherapy for endometrial cancer. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Keeping visitors 6 feet away minimizes radiation exposure during brachytherapy. Soiled linens don't require biohazard bags unless contaminated with bodily fluids, gowns aren't typically needed, and radioactive sources are managed by radiation safety teams, not discarded in trash.
