Original Questions (Improved Format)
1. A home health nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Which of the following instructions should the nurse reinforce
to maintain infection control in the client's home?
A. Wash dishes in hot soapy water.
B. Use separate dishes and utensils for the client.
C. Rinse dishes in cold water before washing.
D. Clean dishes with a bleach solution after every meal.
✔✔✔ CORRECT 100% ANSWER 📌✔❤❤ A
Rationale: The client should wash dishes in hot soapy water to minimize infectious agents and
prevent the spread of infection. Standard dishwashing practices are sufficient; special
separation or bleach solutions are not typically required in the home setting for HIV.
,2. A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client regarding food safety in the home.
Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
A. "You can leave perishable foods at room temperature for up to 4 hours."
B. "Do not leave perishable foods at room temperature for longer than 2 hours."
C. "It is safe to refreeze meat that has been thawed at room temperature."
D. "Leftovers are safe to eat for up to one week if refrigerated."
✔✔✔ CORRECT 100% ANSWER 📌✔❤❤ B
Rationale: The nurse should reinforce with the client that perishable foods should be
refrigerated within 2 hours to reduce the risk of micro-organism growth. If the temperature is
above 90°F (32.2°C), food should not be left out for more than 1 hour.
3. A nurse is implementing transmission prevention measures for a client who has active
tuberculosis. Which of the following measures should the nurse include?
A. Place the client in a negative-pressure room.
B. Wear a surgical mask when entering the client's room.
C. Place a surgical mask on the client when transporting them to other departments.
D. Keep the client's door open to improve air circulation.
✔✔✔ CORRECT 100% ANSWER 📌✔❤❤ C
Rationale: While transporting the client within the facility, the nurse should have the client
wear a surgical mask to protect others from coming in contact with tuberculosis. A client who
has tuberculosis requires airborne isolation precautions (negative-pressure room, N95
respirator) because tuberculosis can remain in the air for several hours.
4. A nurse is transferring a client who has lower extremity paralysis from a bed to a chair
using a transportable hydraulic lift. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to
help prevent injury to the client during the transfer?
,A. Place the lower edge of the sling under the knees and the upper edge under the shoulders.
B. Position the sling so the client is seated on the edge of it.
C. Ensure the client's arms are crossed over their chest.
D. Lower the client into the chair quickly to ensure stability.
✔✔✔ CORRECT 100% ANSWER 📌✔❤❤ A
Rationale: The nurse should place the lower edge of the sling under the client's knees and the
upper edge under the client's shoulders to ensure that the majority of the client's weight is
positioned on the sling. This action helps prevent injury to the client during transfer.
5. A nurse is observing an assistive personnel (AP) provide care to a client in the immediate
postoperative period following a subtotal thyroidectomy. Which of the following actions by
the AP requires intervention by the nurse?
A. The AP supports the client's head and neck during position changes.
B. The AP positions the client supine.
C. The AP encourages the client to speak softly.
D. The AP monitors the client's dressing for drainage.
✔✔✔ CORRECT 100% ANSWER 📌✔❤❤ B
Rationale: The nurse should ensure that the AP places the client in a high-Fowler's position
following a subtotal thyroidectomy to decrease swelling that could compromise the client's
airway. A supine position can increase edema and pressure on the surgical site.
6. A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an older adult client about the influenza vaccine. Which
of the following statements should the nurse make?
A. "You should receive a live-attenuated influenza vaccine."
B. "Make sure you receive the high-dose vaccine."
C. "You only need the vaccine if you have a chronic illness."
D. "A flu shot will protect you from the common cold as well."
, ✔✔✔ CORRECT 100% ANSWER 📌✔❤❤ B
Rationale: The nurse should inform the client that the CDC recommends that older adults
receive the high-dose vaccine. This vaccine contains four times the amount of virus antigens and
helps to boost immunity in the older adult.
7. A nurse is assisting with teaching a class of clients about health promotion and prevention.
Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
A. "You should receive a tetanus booster every 10 years."
B. "You need a tetanus booster only if you step on a rusty nail."
C. "You should receive a tetanus booster every 2 years."
D. "Tetanus boosters are only for children and adolescents."
✔✔✔ CORRECT 100% ANSWER 📌✔❤❤ A
Rationale: The nurse should instruct the clients to receive a tetanus booster every 10 years to
reduce the risk of tetanus. Boosters may be required sooner (e.g., every 5 years) for dirty
wounds.
8. A nurse is collecting data from a client who reports hearing loss. Which of the following
tests should the nurse perform to identify conductive hearing loss?
A. Rinne
B. Weber
C. Romberg
D. Whisper
✔✔✔ CORRECT 100% ANSWER 📌✔❤❤ B
Rationale: The nurse should plan to perform the Weber test to identify if the client has
conductive hearing loss. In a client with conductive hearing loss, sound will lateralize to the
affected ear during the Weber test.
