1. A nurse is teaching a newly hired group of unlicensed assistive personnel about infection-control measures on the unit. What is the most effective way to prevent the spread of pathogens during client care?

Correct answer: B

Rationale:

2. The nurse is caring for 4 clients. Which of these clients will the nurse see first?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

3. Which organization publishes the National Patient Safety Goals?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

4. The nurse is assessing a client who had a cast placed 4 hours ago. What assessment finding is cause for concern?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Inability to insert a finger between the cast and skin indicates the cast is too tight, risking circulation problems.

5. What medication class can decrease tissue inflammation but delays bone healing?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs are known to decrease tissue inflammation but may delay bone healing. Anticoagulants (Choice A) are used to prevent blood clotting, opioids (Choice C) are pain relievers, and narcotics (Choice D) are drugs that affect the central nervous system. While all the choices may have their own indications and uses in healthcare, NSAIDs are specifically associated with delaying bone healing despite their anti-inflammatory properties.
