1. A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following
abdominal surgery. Which assessment finding should the nurse report
to the healthcare provider immediately?
A) Heart rate of 88 beats per minute
B) Respiratory rate of 16 breaths per minute
C) Temperature of 38.8°C (101.8°F)
D) Blood pressure of 118/72 mmHg
Answer: C) Temperature of 38.8°C (101.8°F)
Explanation: An elevated temperature of 38.8°C (101.8°F) in a
postoperative client may indicate an infection, such as a surgical site
infection or sepsis. This finding requires immediate reporting to the
healthcare provider for further evaluation and potential intervention.
The other vital signs are within normal limits and do not indicate an
acute concern.

2. A client is prescribed 500 mg of an antibiotic orally. The medication is
available in 250 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse
administer?
A) 1 tablet
B) 1.5 tablets
C) 2 tablets
D) 2.5 tablets
Answer: C) 2 tablets
Explanation: To determine the number of tablets, divide the prescribed
dose by the available dose per tablet: 500 mg / 250 mg = 2 tablets. This
calculation ensures the client receives the correct therapeutic dose.
3. A nurse is assessing a client's skin turgor. Which technique should the
nurse use?
A) Pressing on the nail bed and observing capillary refill
B) Pinching a fold of skin on the sternum or forearm and observing its
return
C) Palpating the radial pulse for rate and rhythm
D) Observing the skin for pallor or cyanosis
Answer: B) Pinching a fold of skin on the sternum or forearm and
observing its return
,3|Page
Explanation: Skin turgor is assessed by pinching a fold of skin, typically
on the sternum or forearm, and observing how quickly it returns to its
normal position. Delayed return, or tenting, indicates dehydration. The
other options assess capillary refill, pulse, and skin color, which are not
specific to skin turgor.
4. Which of the following is the correct sequence for donning personal
protective equipment (PPE)?
A) Gown, mask, goggles, gloves
B) Goggles, mask, gown, gloves
C) Mask, gown, goggles, gloves
D) Gloves, gown, mask, goggles
Answer: A) Gown, mask, goggles, gloves
Explanation: The correct sequence for donning PPE is gown first, then
mask, followed by goggles or face shield, and finally gloves. This
sequence ensures that the most contaminated items are put on last to
reduce the risk of contamination during the process. Gowns and masks
protect the body and respiratory tract, while goggles protect mucous
membranes, and gloves are the final barrier.

5. A nurse is preparing to insert an indwelling urinary catheter for a
female client. Which action is appropriate for maintaining sterile
technique?
A) Opening the sterile package and allowing the inner wrapper to touch
the client's skin
B) Using clean gloves to insert the catheter
C) Placing the sterile field at the edge of the bed
D) Maintaining the catheter in the sterile package until ready to insert
Answer: D) Maintaining the catheter in the sterile package until ready
to insert
Explanation: To maintain sterile technique, the catheter should remain
in its sterile package until the nurse is ready to insert it. This prevents
contamination. The inner wrapper should not touch the client's skin,
sterile gloves must be used (not clean gloves), and the sterile field
should be on a clean, dry surface, not at the edge of the bed where it
could be compromised.
6. A client has an order for enoxaparin 30 mg subcutaneously. Which
action should the nurse take?
A) Aspirate before injection
B) Massage the site after injection
C) Insert the needle at a 45- to 90-degree angle
D) Administer in the deltoid muscle
