1. A nurse is discussing restorative health care with
a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following
examples should the nurse include in the teaching?
(Select all that apply.)
A. Home health care
B. Rehabilitation facilities
C. Diagnostic centers
D. Skilled nursing facilities
E. Oncology centers
A, B, D
Restorative health care focuses on restoring a
client’s health after an illness or injury. Home
health care, rehabilitation facilities, and skilled
nursing facilities are all examples of restorative
,care. Diagnostic centers are for testing, and
oncology centers are for specialized cancer
treatment.
2. A nurse is explaining the various types of health
care coverage clients might have to a group of
nursing students. Which of the following is an
example of a prospective payment system?
A. Client pays a fixed amount per month for
insurance.
B. Hospital receives a set amount based on the
client’s diagnosis.
C. Provider is reimbursed for each service
performed.
D. Client pays a copayment at each visit.
B
Prospective payment systems, such as diagnosis-
related groups (DRGs), pay hospitals a fixed
amount based on the client’s diagnosis, regardless
of the actual cost of care. This encourages cost
containment.
,3. A nurse is preparing to administer a medication
via intramuscular injection to an adult client. Which
of the following sites is most appropriate?
A. Deltoid muscle for large volumes
B. Vastus lateralis
C. Dorsogluteal muscle
D. Ventrogluteal for small volumes
D
The ventrogluteal site is the preferred site for IM
injections in adults because it has a large muscle
mass, is free of major nerves and blood vessels, and
can accommodate small to moderate volumes. The
deltoid is for small volumes, the vastus lateralis is
used for infants and young children, and the
dorsogluteal risks sciatic nerve injury.
4. A nurse is performing hand hygiene. How long
should the nurse scrub with soap and water?
A. 10 seconds
B. 40–60 seconds
C. 20 seconds
D. 5 seconds
, B
The CDC and WHO recommend scrubbing with
soap and water for at least 40–60 seconds to
effectively remove pathogens. Shorter times are
inadequate.
5. A client with dysphagia is at risk for aspiration.
What is the nurse’s priority action during meals?
A. Feed the client quickly
B. Position upright and check swallow
C. Provide thin liquids
D. Allow independent feeding
B
Positioning the client upright at 90 degrees and
assessing swallow function are essential to reduce
aspiration risk. Feeding quickly, providing thin
liquids, and allowing independent feeding without
assessment increase aspiration risk.
6. A nurse is transferring a client with left-sided
weakness using a gait belt. What is the correct
technique?
A. Stand on the client’s strong side
