1. Which among the following is NOT the cause of pressure ulcers?

Correct answer: D

Rationale:

2. The nurse is preparing communication for a provider. The client is experiencing acute pain greater than the severity of the fracture. Distal to the injury, he is experiencing a 'pins and needles' sensation. The pulse is weak and thready but is bounding on all unaffected extremities. What emergent condition does the nurse suspect?

Correct answer: B

Rationale:

3. What observation by the nurse indicates the need for further teaching to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) on assisting with ambulation?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C is the correct answer because the UAP should walk slightly behind or to the side of the client, not in front, to provide proper support during ambulation. Choices A, B, and D are not indicative of incorrect technique or the need for further teaching. Putting shoes on the client, removing floor rugs and loose objects, and using a transfer (gait) belt are all appropriate actions when assisting with ambulation.

4. What level of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs does shelter belong to?

Correct answer: C

Rationale:

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