A nurse is evaluating the progress of a school-age child who takes
methylphenidate. Which of the following findings indicates the
effectiveness of the medication?
A. Decreased impulsiveness
B. Increased urine output
C. Increased appetite
D. Decreased abdominal pain
A. Decreased impulsiveness
,A charge nurse is evaluating a newly licensed nurse who is caring
for a client who has measles. For which of the following actions by
the newly licensed nurse should the charge nurse intervene?
A. The nurse wears an N95 respirator when performing client care.
B. The nurse places the client on airborne precautions.
C. The nurse ensures the client's room maintains a positive airflow.
D. The nurse has the client wear a mask for transport to radiology.
C. The nurse ensures the client's room maintains a positive airflow.
Positive airflow can potentially contribute to the spread of airborne
pathogens outside the room, increasing the risk of transmission to
others. For clients with airborne infections like measles, negative
airflow rooms are required to minimize the risk of transmission to
healthcare workers and other clients. Therefore, the charge nurse
should intervene and correct this action.
A. Measles is highly contagious and spreads through respiratory
droplets. Wearing an N95 respirator provides appropriate
respiratory protection for the nurse when caring for a client with
measles. This action is appropriate and does not require intervention
by the charge nurse.
B. Measles is transmitted via airborne droplets, so placing the client
on airborne precautions is necessary to prevent the spread of the
disease to others. This action is appropriate and aligns with infection
control guidelines
D. Having the client wear a mask during transport helps minimize the
spread of infectious droplets to others in the facility. This action is
appropriate and aligns with infection control measures for airborne
precautions
,A nurse is teaching a class about providing care within the legal
stope of practice to a group of nurses. The nurse should include that
which of the following procedures is outside the legal scope of
practice for an RN?
A. Changing the inner cannula on a tracheostomy
B. Administering a platelet transfusion
C. Irrigation of an external ear canal
D. Inserting a tunneled central venous catheter
D. Inserting a tunneled central venous catheter
Inserting tunneled central venous catheters is typically performed
by advanced practice nurses or physicians with specific training and
certification, such as nurse practitioners or interventional
radiologists. This procedure is beyond the scope of practice for RNs
and requires specialized skills and knowledge.
, A nurse is admitting a school-age child who has bacterial meningitis.
Which of the following types of isolation precautions should the
nurse initiate?
A. Contact
B. Airborne
C. Protective environment
D. Droplet
D. Droplet
Droplet precautions are used for infections transmitted by large
respiratory droplets that can travel up to approximately 3 feet.
Examples include bacterial meningitis, influenza, and pertussis.
Therefore, the nurse should initiate droplet precautions for the
school-age child with bacterial meningitis.
A. Contact precautions are used for infections transmitted by direct
or indirect contact with the client or their environment. Examples
include MRSA, C. difficile, and other multidrug-resistant organisms.
B. Airborne precautions are used for infections transmitted by small
droplets that remain suspended in the air and can be inhaled.
Examples include tuberculosis (TB), measles, and chickenpox
(varicella).
C. Protective environment precautions are typically used for clients
with compromised immune systems, such as those undergoing stem
cell transplants, to protect them from environmental pathogens.
