1. What is the most effective way to implement a teaching plan?

A. Teach the information that the learner wants to learn first.
B. Streamline the teaching plan to include only essential information.
C. Present to the learner all the necessary information to meet the objectives.
D. Provide the learner with written material to review before teaching sessions.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The most effective way to implement a teaching plan is to teach the information that the learner wants to learn first. Teaching should be learner-centered, responding to the individual's needs and preferences. Learning is most successful when it addresses the specific interests and goals of the learner, as it increases motivation and engagement. By starting with what the learner is interested in, you can create a more effective and engaging learning experience.

2. The father of an 11-year-old client reports to the nurse that the client has been 'wetting the bed' since the passing of his mother and is concerned. Which action is most important for the nurse to take?

A. Reassure the father that it is normal for a child to wet the bed after a traumatic event
B. Inform the father that nocturnal emissions are abnormal and his son is developmentally delayed
C. Inform the father that it is crucial to let the son know that bedwetting is a normal response to trauma
D. Refer the father and the client to a psychologist

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Bedwetting after trauma, such as losing a parent, is common in children. The nurse should inform the father that it is crucial to let the son know that bedwetting is a normal response to trauma. Reassurance and understanding are essential in addressing the child's emotional needs during this difficult time. Choice A is incorrect as it focuses on puberty rather than trauma as the underlying cause. Choice B is incorrect as it provides inaccurate information about nocturnal emissions and developmental delay. Choice D is premature as the first step should be to provide education and support before considering a referral to a psychologist.

3. What action should be taken when adding sterile liquids to a sterile field?

A. Use an expired sterile liquid if the bottle is sealed and unopened.
B. Consider the sterile field contaminated if it becomes wet during the procedure.
C. Remove the container cap and place it with the inside facing up on the sterile field.
D. Hold the container low and pour the solution into a receptacle at the front of the sterile field.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If a sterile field becomes wet or damp during a procedure, it is considered contaminated as moisture can allow organisms to wick from the surface and compromise the sterility of the field. It is essential to maintain the integrity of the sterile field to prevent infections and ensure patient safety.

4. When bathing an uncircumcised boy older than 3 years, which action should the nurse take?

A. Remind the child to clean his genital area.
B. Defer perineal care due to the child's age.
C. Retract the foreskin gently to cleanse the penis.
D. Inquire about the reason for the child not being circumcised.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct action when bathing an uncircumcised boy older than 3 years is to gently retract the foreskin to cleanse the penis. This is important to ensure proper hygiene and prevent the accumulation of bacteria that can lead to infections. It is not advisable to defer perineal care because of the child's age, as hygiene is crucial at any age. Asking the parents about the circumcision status may not be relevant during routine perineal care. Reminding the child to clean his genital area is not as effective as directly cleaning the area during bathing.

5. A female UAP is assigned to take the vital signs of a client with pertussis for whom droplet precautions have been implemented. The UAP requests a change in assignment because she has not yet been fitted for a particulate filter mask. Which action should the nurse take?

A. Advise the UAP to wear a standard face mask to take vital signs and then get fitted for a filter mask before providing personal care.
B. Send the UAP to be fitted for a particulate filter mask immediately so she can provide care to this client.
C. Instruct the UAP that a standard mask is sufficient for the provision of care for the assigned client.
D. Before changing assignments, determine which staff members have fitted particulate filter masks.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. For droplet precautions, such as in the case of pertussis, a standard face mask is sufficient for protection. Particulate filter masks are required for airborne precautions, not for droplet precautions. Therefore, the UAP can proceed with taking the vital signs using a standard mask without the need for a particulate filter mask. Choice A is incorrect because the UAP does not need to get fitted for a particulate filter mask before providing care in this situation. Choice B is incorrect as fitting for a particulate filter mask is not necessary for droplet precautions. Choice D is also incorrect because determining which staff members have fitted particulate filter masks is not relevant to the UAP's situation with the client on droplet precautions. It is important for healthcare workers to understand the appropriate use of personal protective equipment based on the type of precautions in place to provide safe and effective care to clients.
