• notify nursing supervisor - Correct Answer - ask the minor about the medical reason for seeking

treatment (wrong, picked d) rationale: unemancipated minors may consent to medical treatment if they have specific medical conditions- pregnancy/STI/substance abuse/mental health, not appropriate for nurse to notify nursing supervisor before assessing situation and determining whether consent is required nurse makes med surg unit assignments. LPN assigned to client with localized herpes zoster. LPN tells nurse "i have never had chickenpox" which response by nurse is most appropriate?

• use standard precautions when caring for this pt
• you will be fine, airborne precautions needed
• your client assignment will be changed
• why are you concerned about providing care for this pt? - Correct Answer - your client assignment will

be changed (wrong, picked a) rationale: localized herpes zoster is shingles, if you care for pt with herpes zoster you could get chickenpox from them caring for pregnant and postpartum pts. which client does the nurse see 1st?

• 6wks gestation, LPN can't get fetal heart tones with doptone
• 5 days postpartum, bright red bloody discharge
• 22 wks gestation, feels fetal movement 4times per hour
• 2 days postpartum, has urinary incontinence - Correct Answer - 5 days postpartum pt reporting bright

red, blood discharge (correct) rationale: bloody discharge (rubra lochia) should only last 1-3 days - need to monitor amount and color in addition to vital signs, fetal heart tones can't be heard until 8-12 wks, less than 3 fetal movements in 1 hour could indicate fetal issue, urinary incontinence is normal during postpartum- teach kegels pt has CLL is scheduled for bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. pt says, "i'm frightened i haven't had this test before and i don't know what to expect" which statements will nruse include when responding to pt's concerns? SATA

• bone in the front of the chest will be used for biopsy
• a tight pressure dressing will be placed over test site after procedure
• you will not feel any discomfort as the local anesthetic is injected
• risk of bleeding present, so will monitor test site frequently - Correct Answer - tight pressure dressing

placed over testing site after procedure & there is a risk of bleeding, so we will monitor the test site frequently rationale: bone marrow aspiration/biopsy can be done in pt room or a treatment room not OR, don't use sternum for biopsy, pressure dressing helps with bleeding, sting/discomfort during biopsy, can cause bleeding nurse speaks with pt and spouse who have been undergoing family counseling. pt's spouse states " you never take any responsibility for the messes you always cause" which response by nurse is best?

• why do you say that?
• blaming is not effective
• let's focus only on positives

• cover insertion site with adhesive bandage
• add 8 hours of feeding to bag at a time
• rotate gastrostomy tube 360 degrees once daily
• auscultate for whoosh of air through gastrostomy tube
• check for slight in and out movement of gastrostomy tube - Correct Answer - rotate gastrostomy tube

360 degrees once daily & check for slight in and out movement of gastrostomy tube rationale: insertion site should be covered with sterile bandage to reduce infection risk until stoma is healed, only 4 hours of enteral feeding added to bag at a time to reduce bacterial contamination, rotate 360 degrees daily to reduce risk of skin irritation and breakdown, don't insert air for gastrostomy rube assessment, slight in/out indicates tube isn't embedded in wall of stomach nurse asses pt for potential spousal abuse. nurse is most concerned if pt makes which statement?

• it's my fault because I push my spouses buttons
• my spouse and i often disagree on many things
• we have talked about divorce multiple time

buttons (correct) rationale: spousal abuse victim accept blame often and feel helpless and compliant, should also follow up on option D but not the most concerning thing nurse has guillian barre pt. flaccid paralysis of both legs, history of coronary artery bypass 3 wks ago, 20 yr history of HTN and high cholesterol, recently diagnosed with T2DM. nurse prepares to apply anti- embolism stockings to both legs. which priority action does nurse implement?

• bilateral pretibial edema

• palpate both calves for pain
• ask the reason for stocking application
• bilateral pedal pulse strength - Correct Answer - bilateral pedal pulse strength (correct)

rationale: some edema is expected when immobile and stocking will reduce the edema, VTE would be a contraindication for stocking but calf pain isn't always present with DVT and pain is a psychosocial idea, best indication of peripheral arterial disease and circulation is to monitor pedal pulses, decreased circulation would be contraindicated for stocking so need to assess ASAP pt approaches traige desk reporting exposure to chemicals after truck overturn. pt has powder and unknown liquid substance on clothes. pt is diaphoretic and having difficulty breathing. which action does nurse take first?

• escort pt to decontamination room
