1. A nurse is admitting a client who has tuberculosis. What transmission-based precautions should the nurse initiate?

A. Droplet
B. Contact
C. Airborne
D. Protective

Correct answer: C

2. The nurse is preparing communication for a provider. The client is experiencing acute pain greater than the severity of the fracture. Distal to the injury, he is experiencing a 'pins and needles' sensation. The pulse is weak and thready but is bounding on all unaffected extremities. What emergent condition does the nurse suspect?

A. Ischial tuberosity
B. Compartment syndrome
C. Broken arm syndrome
D. Pulmonary embolism

Correct answer: B

Rationale:

3. What is a symptom of the expected disease pattern of rheumatoid arthritis?

A. Unilateral joint pain
B. Bilateral joint pain

D. Obtuse variety joint pain

Correct answer: B

Rationale:

4. What soft tissue musculoskeletal injury is excessive stretching of a ligament?

A. Sprain

5. What should be done immediately after an ankle injury?

A. Immobilize, heat, compress, and elevate the ankle
B. Rest, ice, compress, and lower the ankle
C. Rest, ice, compress, and elevate the ankle
D. Rest, incubate, confine, and lower the ankle

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Rest, ice, compress, and elevate the ankle. After an ankle injury, it is essential to follow the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) for immediate treatment. Resting the injured ankle helps prevent further damage, applying ice reduces swelling and pain, compression with a bandage provides support and helps control swelling, and elevating the ankle above heart level reduces swelling by allowing fluid to drain away from the injury site. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because heating, incubating, or confining the ankle can worsen the injury by increasing swelling and inflammation instead of reducing them.
