1. What is the likely reason that a client with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) would succumb to pneumonia while a healthy person exposed to the same infection did not?

Correct answer: A

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. A client has sustained an open fracture. What nursing intervention will best prevent osteomyelitis in this client?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Proper hand hygiene is crucial in preventing infections such as osteomyelitis in clients with open fractures. Keeping the hands clean helps reduce the risk of introducing harmful pathogens to the wound site. Delegating all client personal care to specific unlicensed assistive personnel (Choice A) is not appropriate as direct involvement in wound care is essential in preventing infections. Placing the client in contact precautions (Choice B) is not directly related to preventing osteomyelitis in this context. Administering pain medication (Choice D) is important for managing the client's pain but does not directly address the prevention of osteomyelitis.

4. What is not a potential complication of RA?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

5. A nurse is caring for an immobile client. What is the priority assessment in this client?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:
