1. Which organization publishes the National Patient Safety Goals?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

2. What health teaching would not help an older adult avoid a musculoskeletal injury?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Avoiding home modifications can increase the risk of falls and injuries in older adults.

3. 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.

4. The nurse is caring for 4 clients. What client should the nurse see first?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is the client on Methotrexate with a fever. Fever in a client on Methotrexate, an immunosuppressant, could indicate a serious infection or adverse drug reaction requiring immediate attention to prevent complications. The other choices do not present immediate life-threatening concerns. A client with lupus asking for dinner can wait, a client with chronic rheumatic pain may need pain management but is not the priority over a fever in a client on Methotrexate, and a client with children visiting does not pose an urgent medical issue.

5. What may be a cause of conductive hearing loss?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Otitis media can cause conductive hearing loss by affecting the middle ear.
