How does the nurse identify the correct size of crutches for a client?
1. Turn the crutches upside down and measure from the heel to the shoulder.

while resting the axilla on the crutch pad.
3. Measure the client while standing upright from the axilla to the heel then adjust the

The nurse is caring for a client in the 8th week of pregnancy. The client is spotting, has
a rigid abdomen and is on bedrest. What is the most important assessment at this time?
1. Protein in the urine
2. Fetal heart tones
3. Cervical dilation
4. Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels

The client may be bleeding, and that is an emergency! Common causes of hemorrhage during
the first half of pregnancy include abortion and ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is a
significant cause of maternal death from hemorrhage and the classic signs of ectopic
pregnancy include positive pregnancy test, abdominal pain and vaginal "spotting". Remember
, that in the ruptured ectopic pregnancy, bleeding may be concealed and severe pain could be
the only symptom.
The nurse is discussing television, video games, and internet usage with a group of

2. Turn off all screens during meals.
3. Allow screen time only after chores and homework are complete.
4. Have a screen free day once a week.
5. Limit screen time to 2 hours daily.
6. Use screen time as a reward for good behavior.

Correct: It is wise to keep TV, internet and other digital media out of children's rooms. When
these devices are in children's bedrooms, it's much more difficult to monitor what's going on.
Turn off digital devices during meals. This allows parents to be involved in the lives of their
children. Those intimate life details are required for successful parenting. So, parents should
observe, listen, ask, and parent. Declare a "screen free day" once a week where nobody
watches TV, uses the computer or plays video games. This allows for more family activities
like bike rides and hikes. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests limiting
entertainment screen time -- including TV, video games and computer use -- to two hours a
day for kids ages 6 - 10 years of age.
Incorrect: Screen time should not be used as a reward. Parents should set guidelines on when
the child can have screen time; for example, after homework or when chores are complete.
