Correct2 Cleaning a newborn immediately after delivery. Correct3 Emptying a portable wound drainage system. 4 Interviewing a client in the emergency department. 5 Obtaining the blood pressure of a client who is human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used because the newborn is covered with amniotic fluid and maternal blood. PPE should be used because the nurse may be exposed to blood and fluid that are contained in the portable wound drainage system. PPE is not required for a back rub; there is no indication that the nurse is in contact with body secretions. PPE is not necessary when conducting an interview because it is unlikely that the nurse will come in contact with the client's body fluids. PPE is not necessary when obtaining the blood pressure of a client, even if the client is HIV positive. 60%of students nationwide answered this question correctly.

How can the nurse motivate the client toward independence? 1 Establish long-range goals for the client. 2 Identify errors that the client can correct. Correct3 Reinforce success in tasks accomplished. 4 Demonstrate ways to promote self-reliance. Success is a basic motivation for learning. People receive satisfaction when a goal is reached. Progress toward long-range goals often is not apparent readily and may be discouraging. Constructive criticism is an important aspect of client teaching, but if it is not tempered with praise, it is discouraging. Demonstrating ways to promote self-reliance is an important part of teaching, but it probably will not motivate the client. 65%of students nationwide answered this question correctly.

The nurse identifies what clinical findings that indicate the client is capable of using a standard walker? 1 Weak upper arm strength and impaired stamina 2 Weight bearing as tolerated and unilateral paralysis 3 Partial weight bearing on the affected extremity and kyphosis Correct4 Strong upper arm strength and non–weight bearing on the affected extremity A walker with four rubber tips on the legs requires more upper body strength than a rolling walker. A client who is non–weight bearing on the affected extremity is able to use a standard walker. A rolling walker is more appropriate for a client with weak upper arm strength and impaired stamina who is less able to lift up and move a walker with four rubber tips. A client with unilateral paralysis is not a candidate for a standard walker; the client must be able to grip and lift the walker with both upper extremities and move the walker forward. A rolling walker is more appropriate for this client. A client with kyphosis is less able to lift up and move a walker with four rubber tips. 62%of students nationwide answered this question correctly. [Show More]
