1. A client is recovering from a fractured radius that occurred 7weeks ago. Which state of bone healing occurs at this time as the callus is restored and transformed into bone?

A. Stage 3
B. Stage 5
C. Stage 1
D. Stage 4

Correct answer: D

Rationale:

2. What is the priority nursing diagnosis after surgery to repair a fracture?

A. Disturbed body image
B. Risk for infection
C. Risk for impaired skin integrity
D. Acute pain

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Risk for infection. After surgery to repair a fracture, the priority nursing diagnosis is to monitor for the risk of infection to promote proper healing. Infections can significantly delay the healing process and lead to further complications. Choices A, C, and D are not the priority immediately post-surgery. Disturbed body image, risk for impaired skin integrity, and acute pain may be concerns but are not the priority in the immediate post-operative period following fracture repair.

3. A client arrives speaking only Spanish. What is the priority nursing intervention?

A. Give the client a tour of the unit
B. Verify the reason for admission
C. Request a medical interpreter
D. Call the chaplain for support

Correct answer: C

Rationale:

4. The nurse uses proper body mechanics to move a client up in bed. What action by the nurse will increase their risk of a workplace injury?

A. Place the bed in the lowest possible position
B. Use the legs when lifting
C. Keep feet apart to provide a wide base of support
D. Face the direction of the movement

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Placing the bed in the lowest possible position increases the risk of injury because it does not support proper body mechanics. When lifting a client, it is important to have the bed at a comfortable height to avoid strain. Using the legs when lifting (choice B) is correct as it reduces the strain on the back. Keeping feet apart to provide a wide base of support (choice C) helps with stability and balance. Facing the direction of the movement (choice D) is essential for maintaining proper alignment and reducing the risk of injury.
