Maintaining sterile technique during procedures.
Washing hands before and after each client contact.
Abiding by the hospital's established isolation room protocols.
Assuring nures assigned to surgical clients do not care for infectious clients. - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔Washing hands before and after each client contact.
Rationale

, Page 2 of 155
Progressive deep relaxation exercises.
Therapeutic music and sound therapy.
The performance of massage therapy.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Transcutaneous electrical
nerve stimulation.
Rationale
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) reduces pain impulses to the brain, a
component of the gate control theory of pain.
Question: The nurse is reviewing the change of shift report. Which client should the nurse
assess first?
A 46-year old client admitted yesterday undergoing bowel prep for abdominal surgery.
A 76-year old client transferred from the emergency department who requires femur pinning

A 22-year old client transferred from the emergency department scheduled for shoulder surgery
due to a rotator cuff tear. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔A 76-year old client transferred from the
emergency department who requires femur pinning due to a recent fall.
Rationale
Because of the client's advanced age and history of falling, the 76-year old client should be
assessed first.
Question: What should the nurse do to demonstrate proper body mechanics when assisting a
client to a standing position from a sitting position? (Select all that apply.)
Rock their own body weight as they pull the client up towards them.
Keep their own knees locked as they lift the client in a smooth motion.
Stand in front of the client, move their own feet apart and bend at the knees.
While standing behind the client, secure their own arms around the client's chest and lift
upward.
Assess the client and determine whether or not another care provider is needed to assist. -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Rock their own body weight as they pull the client up towards them.
Stand in front of the client, move their own feet apart and bend at the knees.
Assess the client and determine whether or not another care provider is needed to assist.
, Page 4 of 155
Rationale
Pulling is easier than lifting and the momentum by rocking the nurse's body uses that body
weight to enhance the force of arm muscles. Moving feet apart widens the base of support and
bending knees lowers the center of gravity. These actions are elements of safe body mechanics.
When possible, use teams to lift clients ast is decreases the incidences of lower back injuries in
healthcare workers and is safer for the client.
Question: The nurse is assessing a client for risk of falls. Which client behavior would be the
most informative to the nurse?
The client transfers unassisted from the bed to a chair next to the bed.
The client changes positions in bed from a prone position to sitting upright at 45 degrees.
The client is able to rise from a chair without using arms for support and walk 10 feet and turn
around.
The client with gait belt attached ambulates up and down the hallway with the physical
therapist next to them. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The client is able to rise from a chair without
using arms for support and walk 10 feet and turn around.
Rationale
A client's ability to get up from a sitting position without using their arms for support and walk
10 feet and turn around would give the nurse an assessment of the client's balance,
coordination and gait as they walked.
Question: What nursing interventions should be implemented for a client whose absolute
neutrophil count (ANC) is below 500?
Admit to a reverse isolation room.
