SECTION 1: SAFETY & INFECTION CONTROL (Questions 1–15) Question
1 of 180
A home health nurse is caring for a child who has Lyme disease. Which
of the following is an appropriate action for the nurse to take?
• A. Ensure the child receives adequate nutrition.
• B. Administer antibiotics.
• C. Educate the family on avoiding tick bites and preventing Lyme
disease.
• D. Assess for skin necrosis.
Correct Verified Answer Guide: C – Educate the family on avoiding tick
bites and preventing Lyme disease.
Rationale: Education on tick avoidance (wearing long sleeves, using
insect repellent, checking for ticks after outdoor activities) is a critical
nursing intervention to prevent recurrence and protect other family
members. Antibiotics are prescribed by the provider; the home health
nurse reinforces education.
,Question 2 of 180
A nurse is caring for a client who has been admitted to the hospital. The
client reports loss of appetite, shortness of breath, weakness,
abdominal pain, severe itching, and mood changes. The client has
alcohol use disorder for the past 10 years. The client is alert but
disoriented to time. Abdomen is bloated, palmar erythema is present,
excoriations on upper thorax and shoulders, and yellow scars
(jaundice). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
(Select all that apply.)
• A. Provide frequent rest periods for the client
• B. Restrict the client's sodium intake
• C. Advise the client to avoid the use of soap and alcohol-based
lotions
• D. Instruct the client to avoid blowing their nose forcefully
• E. Assess the client's level of orientation
Correct Verified Answer Guides: A, B, C, D, E
Rationale: The client has signs of liver disease/cirrhosis (jaundice,
ascites, palmar erythema, pruritus, hepatic encephalopathy). Rest
periods conserve energy; sodium restriction reduces ascites; avoid
soap/alcohol-based lotions to prevent skin drying and itching; avoid
forceful nose blowing due to coagulopathy (bleeding risk); assess
orientation for hepatic encephalopathy.
Question 3 of 180
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of cirrhosis.
Which of the following laboratory findings should the nurse expect?
, •
•
• A. Elevated ammonia
B. Decreased prothrombin time (PT)
C. Elevated albumin
• D. Decreased bilirubin
Correct Verified Answer Guide: A – Elevated ammonia
Rationale: Cirrhosis leads to liver failure, causing elevated ammonia
(hepatic encephalopathy), elevated PT (bleeding risk), decreased
albumin, and elevated bilirubin (jaundice).
Question 4 of 180
A nurse is assessing a client who has chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
• A. Polyuria
• B. Hypotension
• C. Metabolic alkalosis
• D. Hypercalcemia
Correct Verified Answer Guide: A – Polyuria
Rationale: In early CKD, polyuria (excessive urination) occurs due to loss
of concentrating ability. Late CKD causes oliguria. Hypertension (not
hypotension), metabolic acidosis (not alkalosis), and hypocalcemia (not
hypercalcemia) are expected.
, Question 5 of 180
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for furosemide.
Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor as an adverse
effect?
