Rationale:

2. A client sustained a crushing injury to his right arm during a car accident. He arrives to the emergency room complaining of numbness in his right hand. He has no other injuries. What should the nurse do first?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Assessing the radial pulse checks for adequate circulation and potential complications.

3. Convert 30 ml to ounces. (Type the answer as numeric only)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 30 ml is equivalent to 1 ounce.

4. Which finding is not typically associated with inflammation in a client?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Polyuria is excessive urination and is not a typical assessment finding in inflammation. Inflammation commonly presents with pain (A), heat (B), and erythema (D) which are classic signs of an inflammatory response. Pain results from the release of inflammatory mediators, heat is due to increased blood flow, and erythema is caused by vasodilation and increased blood flow to the area. Polyuria is more likely associated with conditions such as diabetes or renal issues, rather than inflammation.
