Rationale:

2. A client has an abdominal incision. The surgical wound was closed with 10 sutures. This surgical wound is healing by what process?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

3. 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.

4. What client is a susceptible host most at risk for infection?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

5. What is the priority nursing diagnosis for a client with immobility?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct priority nursing diagnosis for a client with immobility is 'Risk for impaired skin integrity as evidenced by pressure over bony prominences.' Immobility predisposes the client to the development of pressure ulcers due to prolonged pressure on bony areas. Monitoring and preventing impaired skin integrity is crucial to prevent complications. Choices A, B, and D are not the priority in this case. Constipation, ineffective breathing pattern, and disuse syndrome are important but secondary to the immediate risk of skin breakdown associated with immobility.
