year-old nonpregnant client?
A. Rhinorrhea
B. Meopause
C. Amenorrhea
D. Dyspareunia
C
Answer: Amenorrhea
Rationale: The absence of menstrual periods in a nonpregnant client younger than 55 years old is called
amenorrhea. Rhinorrhea is an allergic state that is manifested by a runny nose. Menopause is cessation
of menstruation after 55 years of age. Dyspareunia is pain during sexual intercourse.
The spouse of a client with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) received a tuberculin skin test. The nurse
examined the skin test and identified an area of induration greater than 10mm. Which response to this
finding would the nurse implement?
A. No further action is required at this time.
, Page 2 of 84
B. Additional tests are necessary to determine infection status.
C. Immediately repeat the skin test for confirmation.
D. Results are positive, indicating an active infection.
B
Answer: Additional tests are necessary to determine infection status.
Rationale: Additional tests are necessary to determine infection status.
A client with an induration of 5 mm or greater is considered positive. If there is repeated close contact
with a person diagnosed with pulmonary TB or if the client has a disease causing decreased resistance,
this requires further diagnostic study, such as x-rays and sputum culture.
Which term describes the practice of placing clients with the same infection in a semi-private room?
A. Isolating
B. Cohorting
C. Colonizing
D. Cross-referencing
B
Answer: Cohorting
Rationale: Cohorting is the practice of grouping clients who are colonized or infected with the same
pathogen. Isolating is limiting the exposure to individuals with an infection. Colonizing refers to the
development of an infection in the body. Cross-referencing has nothing to do with an infectious process.

outdoor carpeting.
Which sexually transmitted infection causes condylomata acuminate?
A. Chlamydia
B. Gonorrhea

Which criteria would the nurse consider when determining if an infection is a health care-associated
infection?
A. Originated primarily from an exogenous source
B. Is associated with a medication-resistant microorganism
C. Occurred in conjunction with treatment for an illness
D. Still has the infection despite completing the prescribed therapy
C
Answer: Occurred in conjunction with treatment for an illness
, Page 4 of 84
Rationale: Health care-associated infections are classifed as those that are contracted within a health
care environment (e.g. hospital, long term care facility) or results from a treatment (e.g., surgery,
medications). Originating primarily from an exogenous source is not a criterion for identifying a health
care-associated infection. The source of health care-associated infections may be endogenous (originate
from within the client) or exogenous (originate from the health care environment or service personnel
providing care)
Which education would the nurse provide the parent of a preschool age child about how preschoolers
