QUESTION 1
A nursing student group is touring an inpatient psychiatric unit
when a male client who is in a manic state shouts, "Want to see a
crazy person?" and begins jumping up and down, flapping his
arms, and clucking like a chicken. Which action is best for the
nurse to take?
A. Direct the students to continue the tour without responding to
the client's behavior.
B. Medicate the client with a PRN prescription for an antianxiety
agent.
C. Restrict the client to his room until he can control his behaviors.
1
,D. Redirect the client's acting-out behavior by asking him to
perform a unit task.
Answer: D. Redirect the client's acting-out behavior by asking
him to perform a unit task.
Rationale: Redirecting a manic client's excess energy toward a
constructive task is therapeutic and helps maintain dignity.
Restricting or ignoring the client can escalate agitation or
reinforce negative behaviors. PRN medication should not be the
first intervention for attention-seeking behavior. Redirecting the
client to a purposeful activity provides structure and helps
manage the manic episode without confrontation .
QUESTION 2
A client is 12 hours postoperative for a hernia repair and
suddenly becomes agitated, staggers out into the corridor, and
demands to "be set free." After assisting the client back to bed
2
,and administering pain medication, which intervention is best for
the practical nurse to implement?
A. Notify the healthcare provider and request a prescription for
restraints to minimize the client's danger to self.
B. Raise the side rails and notify the family to come sit with the
client to reorient and cooperate.
C. Administer a prescribed narcotic antagonist to reverse the
effects of any analgesic accumulation.
D. Instruct a UAP to keep the upper side rails up and check on
the client every 15 minutes.
Answer: B. Raise the side rails and notify the family to come
sit with the client to reorient and cooperate.
Rationale: The best immediate action is to ensure client safety
while providing a calming presence through family support.
Restraints should only be used as a last resort and require a
healthcare provider's order. Family presence can help reorient
3
, the client and reduce postoperative confusion (delirium) which is
common in older adults .
QUESTION 3
The practical nurse is documenting a client's blood pressure
reading and realizes an error was made in the chart. What is the
correct method for correcting a charting error?
A. Use correction fluid to cover the error and write the correct
information over it.
B. Draw a single line through the error, write "error," and initial
the entry.
C. Erase the error and rewrite the correct information.
D. Discard the page and start a new documentation entry.
