SECTION 1: Safe and Effective Care Environment — Management of Care
Questions 1–25
Q1. A nurse is prioritizing care for four clients on a medical-surgical unit. Which client should the
nurse assess first?
A. A client who is 2 days postoperative and requests pain medication
B. A client with a new onset of confusion and restlessness
C. A client who needs discharge teaching before leaving this afternoon
D. A client who is scheduled for a chest x-ray in 1 hour
Correct Answer: B. A client with a new onset of confusion and restlessness
Rationale: New-onset confusion and restlessness may indicate hypoxia, infection, or a
neurological event, which are urgent, life-threatening complications requiring immediate
assessment. The other clients have stable, non-urgent needs that can be addressed after this client is
evaluated.
Q2. A nurse is delegating tasks to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Which task is most
appropriate for the nurse to delegate?
A. Administering oral pain medication to a stable client
B. Teaching a client how to perform self-catheterization
C. Obtaining a routine vital sign measurement on a stable client
D. Assessing a client's surgical incision for signs of infection
Correct Answer: C. Obtaining a routine vital sign measurement on a stable client
Rationale: Obtaining routine vital signs on a stable client is within the scope of practice for UAP.
Medication administration, client teaching, and assessment require the clinical judgment and
licensure of a registered nurse and cannot be delegated.
Q3. A nurse is caring for a client who speaks limited English and needs to sign an informed
consent form. Which action should the nurse take?

,A. Ask the client's adult child to interpret the consent form
B. Use a certified medical interpreter to explain the procedure
C. Have the client sign the form and explain it afterward
D. Provide written materials in the client's language only
Correct Answer: B. Use a certified medical interpreter to explain the procedure
Rationale: Informed consent requires the client to fully understand the procedure, risks, and
alternatives. A certified medical interpreter ensures accurate communication and protects the
client's rights. Family members, especially minors, should not be used as interpreters for consent.
Q4. A nurse is reviewing a client's advance directive. The client has a living will stating no heroic
measures. The client is now unresponsive and in respiratory distress. Which action should the nurse
take?
A. Immediately initiate CPR and intubation
B. Contact the provider to clarify the advance directive
C. Withhold all treatment and allow natural death
D. Ask the family to make an immediate decision
Correct Answer: B. Contact the provider to clarify the advance directive
Rationale: When a client's advance directive is unclear or the situation is ambiguous, the nurse
should contact the provider to clarify the order and ensure the client's wishes are honored. The
nurse should not independently withhold or initiate treatment without clarification.
Q5. A nurse is preparing to administer medications and notes that a prescribed dose is higher
than the recommended range. Which action should the nurse take first?
A. Administer the medication as prescribed
B. Hold the medication and contact the prescriber
C. Administer half the dose and document the discrepancy
D. Ask another nurse to administer the medication
Correct Answer: B. Hold the medication and contact the prescriber
Rationale: The nurse must hold the medication and clarify the order with the prescriber when a
dose exceeds the recommended range. Administering an unsafe dose could cause harm, and the
nurse is legally responsible for questioning questionable orders.
Q6. A nurse is admitting a client who has a history of falls. Which intervention is the priority to
promote safety?
A. Place the client in a room near the nurses' station
B. Apply a bed alarm and keep the bed in the lowest position
C. Restrain the client to prevent falls
D. Instruct the client to call for assistance before getting up
3|Page
, Correct Answer: B. Apply a bed alarm and keep the bed in the lowest position
Rationale: A bed alarm and lowest bed position are the most immediate and effective safety
interventions to prevent falls. Restraints are a last resort and require specific orders. Client
instruction is important but less reliable for a client with a fall history.
Q7. A nurse is serving as a client advocate. Which action best demonstrates advocacy?
A. Making decisions for the client to ensure safety
B. Ensuring the client's preferences and values are respected
C. Avoiding discussion of treatment options to reduce anxiety
D. Following the provider's orders without question
Correct Answer: B. Ensuring the client's preferences and values are respected
Rationale: Advocacy involves supporting the client's right to make informed decisions and
ensuring their values and preferences are honored. The nurse should not make decisions for the
client or withhold information.
Q8. A nurse is reviewing a client's medication reconciliation. The client reports taking an herbal
supplement not listed. Which action should the nurse take?
A. Ignore the supplement since it is natural
B. Document the supplement and notify the provider
C. Tell the client to stop taking the supplement
D. Ask the pharmacist to discontinue the supplement
Correct Answer: B. Document the supplement and notify the provider
Rationale: Herbal supplements can interact with prescribed medications. The nurse should
document all substances the client takes and notify the provider to evaluate for potential
interactions. The nurse cannot independently discontinue a client's supplement.
Q9. A nurse is caring for a client who is at risk for suicide. Which action is the priority?
A. Place the client in a private room away from other clients
B. Remove all potentially harmful objects from the environment
C. Allow the client to keep personal belongings for comfort
D. Schedule the client for group therapy immediately
Correct Answer: B. Remove all potentially harmful objects from the environment
Rationale: Safety is the priority for a client at risk for suicide. Removing harmful objects reduces
the risk of self-harm. Clients at risk should be placed in a room with visibility and close observation,
not isolation.
