1. A nurse is entering a client's room during change-of-shift
rounds and notices the client and spouse have their backs turned
to each other, both with arms folded across their chests. What is
the best initial action?
A) Introduce yourself and begin discharge teaching
immediately
B) Proceed with the tasks you were intending to perform
C) Say nothing and leave quickly, closing the door behind
you
1
, D) Ask the client and spouse if they need some time alone
right now
Answer: D
Rationale: The situation suggests that you entered during a
stressful time. Offering privacy would be appropriate. Because
the situation indicates tension between the couple, this is not the
time to initiate teaching. Simply leaving without acknowledgment
avoids the issue, and proceeding with tasks ignores the obvious
interpersonal dynamic .
2. Which of the following is the most accurate information to give
a nurse during change-of-shift reporting?
A) Client refuses to take medications
B) Client reports sharp pain in left anterior knee
C) Client encouraged to consume more fluids
2
, D) Client expressed concern about pending surgery
Answer: B
Rationale: The information in option B represents objective,
specific data that the nurse can use as part of baseline
information. "Encouraged" and "more" are vague terms that lack
specific quantification. "Concern" is also vague; relating the
exact concern would be more accurate. Option A may be true,
but accurate data would also report why the client refused
medication .
3. A male client diagnosed with prostate cancer requests that a
male nurse be assigned to care for him. Which action by the
practical nurse is most appropriate?
A) Provide basic care and defer the remainder of care until
a male nurse is available
3
, B) Indicate to the client that the unit is busy and it will be
difficult to find a male nurse
C) Explore the reasons why he is uncomfortable
D) Sympathize with the client without exploring the request
Answer: C
Rationale: By exploring the client's concerns, values, and goals,
the practical nurse will be able to develop mutually acceptable
choices to negotiate care. This allows the client to act
autonomously and provides him with freedom to act upon his
values. Simply sympathizing or making excuses does not address
the underlying need .
4. A client's wife tells the practical nurse that although the
surgeon explained the procedure, her husband is still
