SOLUTION ALREADY PASSED
◉ A male client is admitted after falling from his bed. The healthcare
provider (HCP) tells the family that he has an incomplete fracture of
the humerus. The family ask the RN what this means. Which type of
fracture should the RN explain from these findings?
-Straignt fracture line that is also a simple, closed fracture.
-Nondisplaced fracture line that wraps around the bone.
-A complete fracture that also punctures the skin.
-A fracture that bends or splinters part of the bone. Answer: A fracture
that bends or splinters part of the bone.
Rationale
An incomplete fracture occurs when part of the bone is splintered
(broken) and it has not gone completely through the thickness of the
bone.
◉ The registered nurse (RN) is assisting the healthcare provider
(HCP) with the removal of a chest tube. Which intervention has the
highest priority and should be anticipated by the RN after the removal
of the chest tube?
-Prepare the client for chest x-ray at the bedside.
-Review arterial blood gases after removal.
, -Elevate the head of bed to 45 degrees.
-Assist with disassembling the drainage system. Answer: Prepare the
client for chest x-ray at the bedside.
Rationale
A chest x-ray should be performed immediately after the removal of a
chest tube to ensure lung expansion has been maintained after its
removal.
◉ The registered nurse (RN) did not note that a prescription dose was
recently changed and did not note the updated medication
administration record (MAR). After giving the client the original
dose, the RN reports the medication error to the nurse manager. What
consequences will the RN experience due to this error in medication
administration?
-The incident will be reported to the state's Board of Nursing (BON).
-A medication error report will be completed and risk management
will be notified.
-The RN will be suspended from medication administration until the
error is investigated.
-The incident will be documented in the RN's personnel file. Answer:
A medication error report will be completed and risk management
will be notified.
Rationale
By reviewing quality of care internally, steps of care can be evaluated
and staff can be educated where gaps are identified. The medication
report and notification of management is the responsibility of the RN
who made the mistake, so an internal review of the steps of the
occurrence can be completed to determine further risk potentials.
