A. Client with pneumonia
B. Client with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
in a wound
C. Client with Clostridioides difficile diarrhea
D. Client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: MRSA requires contact precautions. A private room is
essential to prevent transmission to other clients.
,Question 2

A. Initial admission assessment of a patient with pneumonia
B. Teaching a diabetic patient how to self-administer insulin
C. Administration of a tube feeding to a patient with a
gastrostomy tube
D. Evaluation of a patient's response to pain medication

perform stable, predictable tasks. Initial assessments, teaching,
and evaluation require RN-level critical thinking.

Which patient should be assigned to the most experienced RN?
A. 2 days post-MI, stable on telemetry
B. Newly admitted with chest pain and frequent PVCs on monitor
C. Scheduled for an exercise stress test in the morning
D. Post-cardiac catheterization with groin pressure dressing intact
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Frequent PVCs indicate potential for lethal
dysrhythmias and need expert assessment and rapid intervention.

religious reasons. The client is becoming hemodynamically
unstable. What should the nurse do first?
A. Administer IV fluids and notify the provider of the refusal
B. Call the chaplain to convince the client
C. Transfuse packed RBCs because of implied consent
D. Ask the family to override the decision

adults have the right to refuse treatment, even if life-threatening.
Question 5
A nurse is instructing an assistive personnel (AP) about care for a
client with a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order. Which statement by
the AP shows correct understanding?
A. "If I cannot detect the client's pulse, I will have another staff
member check."
B. "If the client does not have a pulse, I will call for the rapid
, response team immediately."
C. "I will initiate CPR until the nurse arrives if I cannot detect a
pulse."
D. "I will call the nurse to come to the room if I cannot detect the
client's pulse."
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A DNR order means no CPR should be initiated. The
AP should notify the nurse immediately if the client is pulseless or
not breathing.
Question 6
A client has a living will stating "No CPR." The client goes into
pulseless ventricular tachycardia. What should the nurse do?
A. Begin CPR immediately
B. Call the provider for clarification
C. Respect the living will and not start CPR
D. Ask the family what they want to do
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A living will is a legal document. If it specifies no
resuscitation, the nurse must honor it unless the client has a
newer directive revoking it. Competent adults have the right to
make their own healthcare decisions.
