Management of Care & Leadership (Q1–15)
1. A charge nurse on a pediatric unit is making assignments for a
float nurse from the medical unit. Which client is appropriate to
assign to the float nurse?
A) A 10-year-old with pneumonia receiving respiratory treatments
B) A 4-year-old with a Wilms tumor receiving chemotherapy
C) An 8-month-old scheduled for surgical repair of a ventricular
septal defect tomorrow
D) A 14-year-old scheduled for discharge today following
placement of a Harrington rod
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A nurse from a medical unit is most competent to care
for a client with pneumonia, a commonly managed condition, and
,avoid safety risks associated with unfamiliar, specialized pediatric
oncology, cardiac, or orthopedic postoperative care.
*2. A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who is
postoperative following laser surgery for open-angle glaucoma.
Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the
instructions?*
A) "I will take a stool softener to prevent constipation"
B) "I will not need any more eye exams"
C) "I can resume heavy lifting in one week"
D) "I don't need to worry about eye pressure anymore"
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Taking a stool softener prevents straining during
bowel movements, which can increase intraocular pressure and
stress the surgical site after eye surgery.
3. A charge nurse on a cardiac unit has a list of client reports for the
evening shift. Which report should the nurse assess first?
A) Indigestion
B) Mild shortness of breath after walking
C) General fatigue
D) Occasional dizziness
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Indigestion can be an atypical symptom of a
myocardial infarction (heart attack), particularly in women and
older adults, and requires immediate assessment to rule out
cardiac ischemia.
*4. A nurse on a medical unit has just received change-of-shift
report. Which client should the nurse assess first?*
A) A 68-year-old client who had a myocardial infarction 2 days
,ago and reports chest pain as a 4 on a scale of 0 to 10
B) A client with diabetes who has a blood glucose level of 180
mg/dL
C) A client with COPD who has an oxygen saturation of 90%
D) A client with pneumonia who has a fever of 38.3°C (101°F)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chest pain following a recent MI may indicate
recurrent ischemia, reinfarction, or other serious complications,
which are the highest priority.
5. A nurse is preparing a client's insulin regimen. Which of the
following insulins can be mixed?
A) Insulin aspart, regular insulin, insulin lispro
B) Insulin glargine and regular insulin
C) Insulin detemir and insulin aspart
D) Insulin glulisine and NPH insulin
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Insulin aspart (rapid-acting), regular insulin (short-
acting), and insulin lispro (rapid-acting) are all clear insulins that
can be mixed together; cloudy insulins like NPH have different
mixing protocols.
6. A nurse is caring for a client following an open colectomy. Which
finding places the client at risk for delayed wound healing?
A) Hyperemesis
B) Mild incisional pain
C) Low-grade fever
D) Serosanguineous drainage
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hyperemesis (severe vomiting) increases intra-
, abdominal pressure, which can place stress on the surgical
incision and disrupt wound healing.
7. A nurse is caring for a client who has a femur fracture and is on
bedrest with Buck's extension traction. Which action should the
nurse take?
A) Inspect the client's skin under the device every 8 hours
B) Remove the traction for 15 minutes every shift
C) Apply lotion to the skin under the boot daily
D) Keep the weights resting on the bed frame
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The skin must be inspected regularly to prevent
pressure injuries and skin breakdown.
8. A nurse receives report on four clients. The nurse should first
collect data about the client who has:
A) A decreased level of consciousness and vomiting
B) A blood pressure of 100/70 mm Hg
C) A pain rating of 3 on a scale of 0 to 10
D) A temperature of 37.8°C (100.0°F)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A decreased level of consciousness with vomiting
indicates potential neurological deterioration and risk for
aspiration, requiring immediate assessment.
9. A nurse is caring for a client who has just returned to the unit
following a bronchoscopy. Which action by the assistive personnel
(AP) requires the nurse to intervene?
A) Offering oral fluids to the client
B) Placing the client in semi-Fowler's position
C) Checking the client's pulse oximetry
