Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which health-care team member referral should be made by the nurse when a code is being conducted on a client in a community hospital?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The respiratory therapist manages airway and ventilation during a code, critical for resuscitation. Chaplain, social worker, and director are supportive, not acute.
Question 2 of 5
The health-care facility has been notified an alleged inhalation anthrax exposure has occurred at the local post office. Which category of personal protective equipment (PPE) should the response team wear?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Level C PPE (respirator and protective suit) is appropriate for inhalation anthrax, balancing protection and mobility. Level A is for highest risk, Level B for chemical hazards, and Level D is minimal.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse working in a homeless shelter identifies an adolescent female sexually aggressive toward some of the males in the shelter. Which is the most common cause for this behavior?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sexual aggression in adolescents often reflects learned behavior from past abuse or trauma, seeking attention or control. Promiscuity, nymphomania, or prostitution are less likely or outdated terms.
Question 4 of 5
A gang war has resulted in 12 young males being brought to the emergency department. Which action by the nurse is priority when a gang member points a gun at a rival gang member in the trauma room?
