1. A nurse manager is preparing a budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Which of
the following is considered a capital expense?
A. Syringes and needles
B. A new cardiac monitor
C. Staff salaries
D. Electricity bills
Answer: B
Rationale: A capital expense is a major, long-term investment for an organization,
such as equipment, buildings, or major technology. A new cardiac monitor is a
piece of durable equipment. The other options are operational or consumable
expenses.
,2. During a disaster drill, a nurse is assigned to the triage area. Which client
should the nurse identify as the highest priority for treatment?
A. A client with a closed femur fracture
B. A client with an open abdominal wound and evisceration
C. A client with a sprained ankle
D. A client with a minor laceration on the arm
Answer: B
Rationale: Using disaster triage principles (like START triage), priority is given to
clients with life-threatening but survivable injuries. An open abdominal wound
with evisceration is a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate
intervention. The other clients have less urgent conditions that can wait.
3. A nurse is delegating tasks to a UAP. Which task is most appropriate for the
nurse to delegate?
, A. Administering oral medications
B. Teaching a client about a new diet
C. Obtaining a client's vital signs
D. Assessing a post-operative client's incision
Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse must delegate tasks that are within the UAP's scope of
practice and do not require the nursing process (assessment, diagnosis,
planning, implementation, evaluation). Obtaining vital signs on a stable client is a
standard task for a UAP. Medication administration, teaching, and assessment
are RN responsibilities.
4. A client tells the nurse, "I want to leave the hospital right now." The nurse
should first:
A. Ask the client why they want to leave.
B. Tell the client they cannot leave.
