Question: 180 of 180
Time Remaining: 02:25:07
Pause Remaining: 00:05:00
A nurse is caring for a client who is having a tonic-clonic seizure. Which action should the
nurse take first?
Complete the following sentence by using the lists of options.
Exhibit 1
Nurses' Notes
1000: Client falls to floor, body stiffens, rhythmic jerking movements noted. Eyes rolled
back. Client is not breathing.
Which action should the nurse take first? Select the best response from the options.
Insert a padded tongue blade into the client's mouth
Restrain the client's limbs to prevent injury
, Turn the client to the side and loosen restrictive clothing
Place a pillow under the client's head
CONTINUE
Correct Answer: Turn the client to the side and loosen restrictive clothing
Clinical Justification
During a seizure, the priority is to maintain a patent airway and prevent aspiration. Turning the
client to the side allows secretions to drain and prevents tongue obstruction. Loosening restrictive
clothing aids breathing. Never insert objects into the mouth, restrain limbs, or place pillows that
could obstruct the airway.
Differential Rationale
Condition Why it is likely/unlikely
Turn to side, loosen Likely. This is the standard seizure precaution to protect airway and prevent
clothing aspiration.
Unlikely. Never place anything in the mouth during a seizure—can cause injury
Insert tongue blade
or obstruction.
Unlikely. Restraint can cause fractures or joint injury during involuntary
Restrain limbs
movements.
Place pillow under head Unlikely. A pillow may obstruct the airway or cause suffocation.

Pause Remaining: 00:05:00
A nurse is reviewing the complete blood count (CBC) results for a client receiving
chemotherapy. The white blood cell (WBC) count is 800/µL.
Complete the following sentence by using the lists of options.
Exhibit 1
Laboratory Results
WBC: 800/µL (normal 5,000–10,000)
Neutrophils: 400/µL
Hemoglobin: 10.2 g/dL
Platelets: 150,000/µL
The nurse should implement which precaution? Select the best response from the options.
Standard precautions only
Neutropenic precautions
Contact precautions
Droplet precautions
CONTINUE
, Correct Answer: Neutropenic precautions
Clinical Justification
A WBC count below 1,000/µL indicates severe neutropenia. Neutropenic precautions include
placing the client in a private room, limiting visitors, avoiding fresh flowers/plants, frequent hand
hygiene, and avoiding invasive procedures. This protects the immunocompromised client from
infection.
Differential Rationale
Condition Why it is likely/unlikely
Neutropenic precautions Likely. WBC <1,000 requires protective isolation.
Standard precautions only Unlikely. Additional precautions are needed for immunocompromised clients.
Contact precautions Unlikely. This is for infections like MRSA or C. diff, not for neutropenia.
Droplet precautions Unlikely. This is for respiratory infections, not immunocompromised status.
