Question 2 of 5

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for several clients. For which of the following situations should the nurse complete an incident report?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: An incident report is necessary when a client discovers that his dentures are missing. This situation involves a loss of personal property and could potentially lead to further complications, such as the client being unable to eat properly or experiencing distress. Documenting the incident ensures proper follow-up and resolution. While identifying a broken piece of equipment is important and should be addressed, it does not typically require an incident report unless the equipment failure has directly caused harm or posed a significant risk to a client or staff member. Reporting the issue through maintenance channels is usually sufficient. A disagreement between the nurse and the nursing supervisor about staffing is an internal issue that should be addressed through appropriate channels such as team meetings or discussions with management, rather than an incident report. A staff member not showing up for their assigned shift is a staffing issue that should be managed through scheduling and human resources processes. It does not typically warrant an incident report unless it directly leads to an adverse event affecting client care.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is educating a transgender female client about the expected outcomes of estrogen therapy. Which statement made by the client would indicate the need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This statement is incorrect because estrogen therapy may not effectively reduce the growth of facial hair in transgender women. Additional treatments, such as laser hair removal or electrolysis, may be needed to address facial hair growth. This statement is correct because estrogen therapy can increase the risk of migraine headaches in some individuals. This potential side effect should be discussed with clients considering estrogen therapy. This statement is correct because taking estrogen as prescribed can help decrease muscle mass, which is one of the desired effects of feminizing hormone therapy for transgender women. This statement is correct because estrogen therapy can cause infertility. Transgender women undergoing estrogen therapy should be informed about this potential outcome and consider fertility preservation options if they wish to have biological children in the future.
