1. A provider has ordered a wound culture for a client with a non-healing wound. What is the nurse's first action?

Correct answer: B

Rationale:

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

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because sudden and increasing pain in a fractured arm indicates a potential complication that requires immediate attention to assess and manage. Choices A, B, and D do not present immediate life-threatening situations or emergent needs compared to sudden and increasing pain in a fractured arm, which takes priority to ensure the client's safety and comfort.

3. Antibodies are passed from mother to fetus through the placenta. What is this type of immunity called?

Correct answer: B

Rationale:

4. During a skin inspection at the outpatient clinic, the nurse notices patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales on the client's elbows and knees. What skin abnormality does the nurse suspect?

Correct answer: C

Rationale:

5. The client states, “the doctor says I am nearsighted. I do not get it.” What would be the best response by the nurse?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct response is to explain to the client what nearsightedness means, which is having difficulty seeing distant objects, as known as myopia. Choice A is not helpful as changing doctors is not necessary for this situation. Choice C is premature as wearing glasses is a possible solution but not the only one. Choice D is incorrect as nearsightedness (myopia) often requires glasses for correction.
