A nurse is developing a plan of care for a newborn who has hyperbilirubinemia and is
prescribed phototherapy. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include
in the plan?
a. Position the newborn 30 cm from the phototherapy lights.
b. Place the newborn 45 cm from the light source.
c. Keep the newborn 60 cm from the phototherapy lights.
d. Position the newborn 75 cm from the light source.
✔️ Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For effective phototherapy, the newborn should be positioned approximately
45 cm (18 inches) from the light source. This distance optimizes the therapeutic effect of
the lights while preventing thermal injury or excessive exposure. Placing the newborn
too close (Option A) increases the risk of burns and overheating, while positioning too
far (Options C and D) reduces the efficacy of the treatment. Additional phototherapy
interventions include protecting the newborn's eyes with opaque shields and monitoring
hydration status.
A charge nurse on a surgical unit is delegating tasks to assistive personnel following
morning rounds. Which of the following tasks should the nurse direct the AP to
complete first?
a. Obtain vital signs on all postoperative clients.
b. Deliver breakfast trays to clients who are not NPO.
c. Place an NPO sign on the door of a client scheduled for surgery.
d. Assist a client with ambulation in the hallway.
✔️ Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Placing an NPO sign on the door of a client scheduled for surgery is a priority
safety measure. This intervention ensures that all staff members are aware of the client's
NPO status, which is critical to prevent aspiration and complications during surgery.
While obtaining vital signs (Option A), delivering trays (Option B), and assisting with
ambulation (Option D) are important tasks, they do not carry the same immediate safety
,implications as clearly communicating NPO status to prevent a client from receiving food
or fluids before a procedure.
An assistive personnel reports to the nurse that several clients' morning vital signs have
been obtained. The nurse should plan to assess which of the following clients first?
a. A client who has a heart rate of 80 beats per minute.
b. A client who has a respiratory rate of 18 breaths per minute.
c. A client who has a temperature of 37.2°C (99°F).
d. A client who has a head injury and a heart rate of 60 beats per minute.
✔️ Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A heart rate of 60 beats per minute in a client with a head injury is a
concerning finding that may indicate increased intracranial pressure (ICP) or Cushing's
triad (bradycardia, hypertension, and irregular respirations). This client requires
immediate assessment to prevent further neurological deterioration. The other vital signs
(Options A, B, and C) are within normal limits and do not present an immediate threat to
client safety.
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving a localized epidural analgesia infusion.
Which of the following nursing actions is appropriate?
a. Apply a heating pad over the insertion site.
b. Cover the insertion site with a transparent dressing.
c. Massage the insertion site to promote absorption.
d. Change the dressing every 72 hours.
✔️ Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Covering the epidural catheter insertion site with a transparent dressing
allows for continuous visualization of the site for signs of infection, dislodgment, or
leakage while maintaining a sterile barrier. Heating pads (Option A) are contraindicated
as they can cause burns or increase the risk of infection. Massaging the site (Option C) is
inappropriate and could dislodge the catheter or introduce infection. Dressings should
be changed per facility protocol, typically every 24 to 48 hours or if soiled, not every 72
hours (Option D).

A nurse is performing disaster triage following a natural disaster. Which of the following
clients should the nurse identify as the highest priority to receive care?
a. A client who has a fractured femur and is alert.
b. A client who has agonal respirations.
c. A client who has minor lacerations and is ambulatory.
d. A client who has a severe head injury and is unresponsive.
✔️ Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In disaster triage, clients with agonal respirations are categorized as
emergent (highest priority) because they require immediate life-saving interventions
such as airway management and ventilation. Clients with a fractured femur (Option A)
are classified as urgent but not immediately life-threatening. Clients with minor
lacerations (Option C) are non-urgent and can wait. A client with a severe head injury
who is unresponsive (Option D) may be classified as expectant if resources are limited, as
the likelihood of survival with significant neurological impairment is low.
A nurse is planning to provide community education about viral hepatitis. Which of the
following information should the nurse plan to include in the teaching?
a. Hepatitis A is transmitted through blood and body fluids.
b. A series of four hepatitis vaccines is recommended to prevent viral hepatitis.
c. Hepatitis C is the most common cause of acute liver failure.
d. Hepatitis B is transmitted through the fecal-oral route.
✔️ Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A series of four hepatitis vaccines (Hepatitis A and B combination vaccines) is
recommended for prevention of viral hepatitis, particularly for at-risk populations.
Hepatitis A is transmitted via the fecal-oral route (Option A is incorrect). Hepatitis C is a
common cause of chronic liver disease, not acute liver failure (Option C is incorrect).
Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood and body fluids, not the fecal-oral route
