    If an inpatient chart with doctor's orders for vital signs every four hours was blank for the day, you would assume the

    • Patient was likely off the unit having tests completed

    • Patient is doing well and no problems were noted

    • Doctor probably changed the orders verbally

    • Vital signs were not completed

    Correct Answer
    A. Vital signs were not completed
    Explanation
    If an inpatient chart with doctor's orders for vital signs every four hours was blank for the day, it can be assumed that the vital signs were not completed. This could be due to various reasons such as the nurse forgetting to take the vital signs, being busy with other tasks, or the patient refusing to have their vital signs taken. It is important to ensure that vital signs are regularly monitored as they provide crucial information about the patient's health status.

    What is the best reason for prepping the skin prior to surgery?

    • Reduces chance of infection

    • Prevents contamination of the operating room (OR)

    • Allows for proper suturing of the incision

    • Reduces pain when the surgical dressing is removed

    Correct Answer
    A. Reduces chance of infection
    Explanation
    Prepping the skin prior to surgery reduces the chance of infection. This is because the prepping process involves cleaning the skin with an antiseptic solution, which kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms on the skin's surface. By reducing the number of bacteria present on the skin, the risk of introducing harmful bacteria into the surgical site is minimized, thus decreasing the likelihood of post-operative infections.

    When does the rehabilitation process begin with a mentally ill patient?

    • During preadmission

    • Within 12 hours of admission

    • Within 24 hours of admission

    • As soon as the patient is admitted

    Correct Answer
    A. As soon as the patient is admitted
    Explanation
    The rehabilitation process begins as soon as the patient is admitted because early intervention is crucial in the treatment of mentally ill patients. By starting the rehabilitation process immediately, healthcare professionals can assess the patient's condition, develop a personalized treatment plan, and provide the necessary support and therapy to promote recovery and improve their quality of life. Delaying the rehabilitation process could result in a worsening of symptoms and a longer recovery time for the patient.

    Which reason is not appropriate for restraining a child?

    • The physician needs to suture the child's face

    • The child continues to climb out of the bed in the night

    • To prevent the child from falling out of a highchair

    • You have other tasks to do, and no time to sit with the child

    Correct Answer
    A. You have other tasks to do, and no time to sit with the child
    Explanation
    The reason "You have other tasks to do, and no time to sit with the child" is not appropriate for restraining a child because it prioritizes the caregiver's convenience over the child's safety and well-being. Restraining a child should only be done when necessary for their protection or for medical reasons such as suturing a wound or preventing falls. Neglecting to supervise a child due to personal tasks is not a valid justification for restraining them.

    Correct Answer
    A. Cater to the patient's customs
    Explanation
    Catering to the patient's customs is important in stimulating the appetite of an elderly patient. Elderly individuals often have specific dietary preferences and cultural customs that influence their food choices. By respecting and accommodating these customs, the patient is more likely to feel comfortable and enjoy their meals. This can help stimulate their appetite and encourage them to eat more.

    The first stage of dying is

    • Bargaining

    • Depression

    • Anger

    • Denial

    Correct Answer
    A. Denial
    Explanation
    In the stages of dying, the first stage is denial. This refers to the initial reaction of refusing to accept or acknowledge the reality of impending death or loss. It is a defense mechanism that helps individuals cope with overwhelming emotions and allows them time to process the situation gradually. Denial often involves disbelief, shock, and a sense of detachment from the situation. It is a natural response that can provide a temporary sense of control and protection from the overwhelming emotions associated with dying.

    • Withdrawal

    • Suspicion

    • Anxiety

    • Anger

    Correct Answer
    A. Withdrawal
    Explanation
    The patient who feels unloved, unneeded, inferior, and hurt displays a behavior of withdrawal. This means that they tend to isolate themselves and distance from others. Feeling unloved and inferior may lead to a lack of motivation to engage with others, while feeling hurt can make them hesitant to open up and trust others. Therefore, withdrawal is a likely response to these negative emotions.

    If a patient you are monitoring is receiving a blood transfusion and you notice distended neck veins and dyspnea. What should you do first?

    • Continue to monitor; this is a normal side effect

    • Place the patient on his or her left side

    • Administer 100 percent oxygen

    • Stop the transfusion

    Correct Answer
    A. Stop the transfusion
    Explanation
    If a patient receiving a blood transfusion is experiencing distended neck veins and dyspnea, it indicates a potential complication called fluid overload or transfusion reaction. This can be a life-threatening situation, and the first priority should be to stop the transfusion immediately to prevent further harm. The other options, such as continuing to monitor, placing the patient on their left side, or administering oxygen, may be appropriate interventions in certain situations, but they do not address the immediate need to stop the transfusion.

    Which pain management method must be closely monitored because it can result in a depressed respiratory system?

    • Application of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) devices

    • Injection of long duration local anesthetic into the incisional area

    • Administration of oral analgesics

    • Administration of narcotics

    Correct Answer
    A. Administration of narcotics
    Explanation
    Administration of narcotics must be closely monitored because it can result in a depressed respiratory system. Narcotics are potent pain medications that can cause respiratory depression as a side effect. This means that the person's breathing may become slow and shallow, which can be dangerous and even life-threatening. Therefore, it is important to closely monitor the respiratory status of individuals receiving narcotics to ensure their safety and intervene promptly if any signs of respiratory depression occur.

    The semi-recumbent position should be avoided over long periods of time in patients with orthopedic disorders because it

    • Causes drop foot

    • Causes venous stasis

    • Causes external hip rotation

    • Promotes flexion deformities of the hip

    Correct Answer
    A. Promotes flexion deformities of the hip
    Explanation
    The semi-recumbent position can promote flexion deformities of the hip in patients with orthopedic disorders. This position involves sitting with the knees bent and the hips flexed, which can lead to shortening and tightening of the hip flexor muscles. Over time, this can result in a flexion contracture, where the hip joint becomes permanently flexed and limits the range of motion. This can further worsen the orthopedic condition and hinder mobility. Therefore, it is important to avoid prolonged periods in the semi-recumbent position to prevent the development or progression of flexion deformities of the hip.

    What actions, if any, should you take if your patient complains that his or her short leg cast feels tight?

    • None. It is normal for a cast to feel tight.

    • Remove the cast.

    • Bivalve the cast.

    • Petal the cast

    Correct Answer
    A. Bivalve the cast.
    Explanation
    If a patient complains that their short leg cast feels tight, the appropriate action to take is to bivalve the cast. Bivalving involves cutting the cast on both sides, allowing it to open like a clamshell. This relieves the pressure and provides relief to the patient. Removing the cast completely may not be necessary, as the tightness could be due to swelling or improper application. Petaling the cast involves cutting small slits at the edges to prevent further constriction, but bivalving is a more effective solution in this case.

    The cramping, burning, or crushing pain complained about by amputees in their missing limb is referred to as 

    • Phantom limb pain

    • Phantom limb sensation

    • Physiological phenomena

    • Psychological phenomena

    Correct Answer
    A. Phantom limb pain
    Explanation
    Phantom limb pain is the correct answer because it refers to the cramping, burning, or crushing pain experienced by amputees in their missing limb. This pain is perceived to be coming from the amputated limb, even though it is no longer there. It is a common phenomenon that occurs due to the brain's continued perception of the limb's existence.

    The side of the body that is affected by stroke is determined by the

    • Dominant right or left side

    • Side of the body that is weaker

    • Side of the brain that was traumatized

    • Position the patient was in when the stroke occurred

    Correct Answer
    A. Side of the brain that was traumatized
    Explanation
    When a stroke occurs, it affects the side of the brain that was traumatized. The brain is divided into two hemispheres, with each hemisphere controlling the opposite side of the body. Therefore, if the stroke occurs in the right hemisphere, the left side of the body will be affected, and vice versa. The side of the body that is weaker is not the determining factor, as it is a consequence of the stroke. Similarly, the dominant right or left side of the body does not determine the side affected by the stroke. The position of the patient when the stroke occurred also does not determine the side affected.

    When providing skin care for the elderly, it is important to avoid using

    • Alcohol

    • Lotion

    • Lanolin

    • Antiseptic soap

    Correct Answer
    A. Alcohol
    Explanation
    When providing skin care for the elderly, it is important to avoid using alcohol because it can be drying and irritating to the skin. Aging skin tends to be more delicate and prone to dryness, so using alcohol-based products can further strip the skin of its natural oils and cause discomfort. Instead, it is recommended to use gentle and hydrating products that can nourish and protect the skin without causing any harm.

    What affects an individual's feeling about themselves?

    • Socioeconomic status

    • Opinions of others

    • Self-perception

    • Job title

    Correct Answer
    A. Self-perception
    Explanation
    An individual's feeling about themselves is influenced by their self-perception. Self-perception refers to how individuals perceive and evaluate themselves, including their self-worth, self-esteem, and self-image. It is based on their beliefs, attitudes, and thoughts about themselves. Self-perception plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's self-confidence, self-acceptance, and overall emotional well-being. It can be influenced by various factors such as personal experiences, achievements, failures, and personal growth. Socioeconomic status, opinions of others, and job title can also have an impact on self-perception, but ultimately it is the individual's own perception of themselves that has the most significant effect.

    Which psychiatric term defines an irresistible urge to perform apparently meaningless actions?

    • Compulsion

    • Delusion

    • Anxiety

    • Conflict

    Correct Answer
    A. Compulsion
    Explanation
    A compulsion is a psychiatric term that refers to an irresistible urge to perform apparently meaningless actions. This term is often associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), where individuals experience intrusive thoughts and engage in repetitive behaviors to alleviate anxiety or distress. Compulsions are typically time-consuming and interfere with daily functioning. Unlike delusions, which are fixed false beliefs, or anxiety, which is a general feeling of unease, compulsions specifically involve the need to perform certain actions, even if they seem irrational or unnecessary. Conflict does not specifically define an irresistible urge to perform meaningless actions.

    Orthopedic deformities, such as a clubfoot or wryneck, are categorized as

    • Infectious

    • Congenital

    • Pathologic

    • Temporary

    Correct Answer
    A. Congenital
    Explanation
    Orthopedic deformities such as a clubfoot or wryneck are categorized as congenital because they are present at birth. Congenital deformities occur due to abnormalities in fetal development and can be caused by genetic factors, environmental factors, or a combination of both. These deformities are not infectious, as they are not caused by a pathogen or infection. They are also not temporary, as they are typically permanent and require medical intervention for correction. Finally, while these deformities can cause pathology or functional impairment, they are not categorized as pathologic in nature.

    A fracture that results from disease, such as metastatic cancer of the bone, is called

    • Hairline

    • Pathologic

    • Congenital

    • Traumatic

    Correct Answer
    A. Pathologic
    Explanation
    A fracture that results from a disease, such as metastatic cancer of the bone, is called a pathologic fracture. This type of fracture occurs when the bone is weakened by an underlying condition, making it more susceptible to breaking. In the case of metastatic cancer, the cancer cells spread to the bone and weaken it, leading to a pathologic fracture. This is different from a traumatic fracture, which occurs due to an external force or injury, and congenital fractures, which are present at birth. A hairline fracture refers to a small crack in the bone that may not be visible on an X-ray.

    Correct Answer
    A. Preschool
    Explanation
    During the preschool stage, children typically experience separation anxiety at a higher level compared to other stages of child development. This is because preschoolers are at a stage where they are developing a sense of identity and independence, but still heavily rely on their primary caregivers for support and security. As they start to explore the world around them and engage in activities outside of their immediate family, the fear of being separated from their caregivers can cause significant stress and anxiety. This is why separation anxiety is most commonly observed and experienced during the preschool stage.

    Turning a patient on a Stryker frame quickly after a spinal cord injury can cause

    • Aspiration

    • Cardiac arrest

    • Disorientation

    • Respiratory arrest

    Correct Answer
    A. Cardiac arrest
    Explanation
    Turning a patient on a Stryker frame quickly after a spinal cord injury can cause cardiac arrest. This is because sudden movements or changes in position can disrupt the blood flow to the heart, leading to a sudden stoppage of the heart's pumping action. This can result in a cardiac arrest, where the heart stops beating and the patient requires immediate medical intervention such as CPR or defibrillation to restore normal heart function.

    All that a person is, fells, and does is generally termed

    • Environment

    • Personality

    • Character

    • Heredity

    Correct Answer
    A. Personality
    Explanation
    Personality refers to the unique set of traits, behaviors, and patterns of thinking that define an individual. It encompasses a person's emotions, attitudes, and overall demeanor. Unlike character, which refers to moral and ethical qualities, personality is more focused on individual differences and how a person interacts with their environment. Heredity plays a role in shaping personality, but it is not the sole determinant. Therefore, personality is the most appropriate term to describe all that a person is, feels, and does.

    • A realistic and measurable statement of the expected change in patient behavior

    Correct Answer
    A. A realistic and measurable statement of the expected change in patient behavior
    Explanation
    A client goal in the nursing process refers to a realistic and measurable statement of the expected change in patient behavior. This means that the goal should be specific, achievable, and can be observed and measured. It serves as a guide for the healthcare team to plan and provide appropriate care for the patient, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions.

    • Closed reduction, internal fixation

    • Open reduction, external fixation

    • Open reduction, internal fixation

    Correct Answer
    A. Open reduction, external fixation
    Explanation
    Pin care is required with open reduction, external fixation because in this type of reduction, pins or wires are inserted through the skin and into the bone to stabilize the fracture. These pins can cause irritation and infection if not properly cared for. Regular cleaning and monitoring of the pin sites is necessary to prevent complications and ensure proper healing of the fracture.
