Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which tissue or organ can be repeatedly donated to clients needing a transplant?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bone marrow regenerates, allowing repeated donation. Skin, bones, and kidneys are limited or single-donation tissues/organs.
Question 2 of 5
The male client in the long-term care facility has been told that he will not live for many more months. The client has been estranged from his daughter for years. He tells the nurse that he could die a happy man if he could talk to his daughter just one more time. Which statement is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Offering to contact the daughter supports the client’s wish, per patient-centered care. Minimizing feelings, blaming, or exploring unhappiness is less actionable.
Question 3 of 5
The client with multiple sclerosis who is becoming very debilitated tells the home health nurse the Hemlock Society sent information on euthanasia. Which question should the nurse ask the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Asking why the client contacted the Hemlock Society explores their intent, guiding supportive care. Legality, suicide contacts, or religion are judgmental or irrelevant.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is aware the Patient Self-Determination Act of 1991 requires the health-care facility to implement which action?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The Patient Self-Determination Act mandates offering AD information on admission for Medicare/Medicaid facilities. Wills, ethical care, and consent forms are unrelated.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse and an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are caring for clients on a postoperative transplant unit. Which task should the nurse delegate to the UAP?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Raising the bed is a supportive task within UAP scope. Assessing outputs, monitoring labs, or irrigating NG tubes requires nursing judgment.
