B. Assess the client’s home environment for safety.
C. Arrange for a home health nurse visit.

process. The nurse must assess the home environment for fire hazards, electrical
safety, and proper storage before teaching or arranging services.

and monitoring for adverse reactions, which is within the RN scope. LPNs can
,perform dressing changes, stable client care, and reinforce teaching but cannot
initiate complex IV therapy independently.

should the nurse take?

treatment, even if it endangers life. The nurse must respect autonomy and
document refusal; family cannot override client’s decision.

actions is most important?
A. Place the call light within reach.
B. Keep the bed in the lowest position.
C. Ensure the client wears non-skid socks.

injury risk from a fall. While all options are correct, low bed position is a primary
fall prevention strategy.

elopement. Which intervention is appropriate?
A. Keep the client’s door closed.

get up, allowing prompt intervention without restraint use. Restraints require
provider order and are last resort.

appropriate?

situations.

critical clinical data: code status, medications, allergies, and recent changes.
Financial or demographic info is not part of clinical handoff.
9. A nurse is triaging clients after a mass casualty event. Which client should
receive priority care?
A. A client with a minor laceration and bleeding controlled.
B. A client with severe head trauma and agonal breathing.
C. A client with a sucking chest wound and confusion.
