A. Respiratory rate 18 breaths/min
B. Blood pressure 118/76 mm Hg
C. Heart rate 124 beats/min
D. Oral temperature 37.2°C (99°F)
Answer: C

indicate pain, anxiety, hypovolemia, or other acute problems that
require prompt assessment; the other values are within expected
ranges.

action is the highest priority?
A. Explaining each medication to the client
B. Checking the client’s identification using two identifiers
C. Asking the client about food preferences
D. Documenting the medications to be given
Answer: B
Rationale: Verifying the correct client using two identifiers is a core
patient-safety step and must occur before giving any medication to
prevent errors.

follows the RACE acronym correctly as the first step?
A. Close all doors to client rooms
B. Report the fire to the operator
C. Rescue clients in immediate danger
D. Extinguish the fire using the nearest extinguisher
Answer: C
Rationale: RACE stands for Rescue, Alarm, Contain, Extinguish; the first
priority is rescuing anyone in immediate danger before sounding the
alarm or attempting to extinguish the fire.

Clostridioides difficile infection. Which action is most appropriate?
A. Use an alcohol-based hand rub after removing gloves
B. Wear a surgical mask for all client contact
C. Wash hands with soap and water after removing gloves

alcohol; handwashing with soap and water is required after glove
removal to prevent transmission.

discharge teaching. The nurse suspects the client may not fully
understand. What is the best action?
A. Provide written instructions and ask the client to read them
