A nurse is demonstrating the use of a transparent film dressing over a client's superficial wound. Which
of the following information about a transparent dressing should the nurse include? - ANSWER The
dressing allows the wound bed to breathe.
(A transparent dressing is applied to allow oxygen to pass through the dressing. This is referred to as
"breathing" and promotes healing of the wound.)
A nurse is collecting data from a client following a lumbar puncture. The nurse should identify which of
the following findings as a potential adverse effect of this procedure? - ANSWER Headache.
(The nurse should identify that a headache can be an adverse effect following a lumbar puncture. To
minimize the client's discomfort, the nurse should administer analgesics, offer fluids, and maintain the
client in a dorsal recumbent position for the length of time prescribed by the provider.)
A nurse is evaluating the crutch-walking technique of a client who is required to keep weight off their
right leg. Which of the following is the proper crutch gait for this client? - ANSWER Three point.

A nurse is assisting with the admission of a client to a medical-surgical unit. Which of the following
findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the client is malnourished? - ANSWER Pallor with
scaly skin.
(The nurse should identify that pallor along with scaly skin can indicate malnutrition. The skin should be
smooth and have the same hue as other areas of the sun-exposed skin in clients who are well-
nourished.)

nurse that they have numerous allergies. Which of the following allergies should the nurse bring to
attention of the charge nurse prior to the initiation of the therapy? - ANSWER Latex.

and hives, or a more serious reaction, such as dyspnea or laryngospasm.)
