priority action?
A. Administer an antidiarrheal.
B. Assess the appliance fit.
C. Encourage fluid restriction.
D. Provide a high-fiber diet.

Did You Know?
rheals, fluid restriction, or high-fiber diets do not address fit issues. Proper pouch fit requires a stoma measurem
shrink post-surgery.
Question 2: A postpartum client at 4 hours has a temperature of 100.4°F. What is the nurse’s
first action?
A. Administer acetaminophen.
B. Assess for infection signs.
C. Encourage oral fluids.

delegate to a UAP?
A. Assess pain intensity.

A. Client with a BP of 150/90 mmHg.
B. Client with a pulse oximetry of 87%.
C. Client awaiting dressing change.
