actions should the nurse take?
○ Clean the perineal area at least once a day
○ Empty the drainage bag when it is three-fourths full
○ Flush the catheter with sterile water daily
○ Disconnect the drainage bag when emptying and measuring urine
✅ Correct Answer: Clean the perineal area at least once a day.
Rationale: Cleaning the perineal area daily reduces the risk of infection associated with an
indwelling catheter.
QUESTION 2 OF 70
A nurse is preparing to remove staples from a client's incision. Which of the following actions
should the nurse take?
○ Lift the staple remover when squeezing the handle
○ Avoid completely closing the handle after squeezing
○ Expect the staples to bend at each outer side of the staple
○ Remove the staple from the skin after both sides are visible
✅ Correct Answer: Remove the staple from the skin after both sides are visible.
Rationale: Ensuring that both sides of the staple are visible before removal prevents unnecessary
trauma to the incision site.
QUESTION 3 OF 70
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for four patients. For which of the following clients
should the nurse initiate airborne precautions?
, ○ A client who has pneumonia
○ A client who has measles
○ A client who has pertussis
○ A client who has methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
✅ Correct Answer: A client who has measles.
Rationale: Measles is an airborne disease, requiring airborne precautions. Pneumonia and
pertussis require droplet precautions, and MRSA requires contact precautions.
QUESTION 4 OF 70
A nurse is assisting with the admission of a client to a medical-surgical unit. Which of the
following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the client is malnourished?
○ Heart rate 89/min
○ Pink mucous membranes
○ Pallor with scaly skin
○ Body mass index 23
✅ Correct Answer: Pallor with scaly skin.
Rationale: Skin changes like pallor and scaliness are signs of malnutrition. A normal heart rate,
pink mucous membranes, and a BMI of 23 are not indicators of malnutrition.

Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

drops."
○ "You should avoid pressing on the tear duct after putting the drops in your eye."
✅ Correct Answer: "You should cleanse your eye from the inner to the outer edge prior to
putting in the drops."
Rationale: Cleaning from the inner to outer canthus prevents contamination of the lacrimal duct
and reduces infection risk.
