you something, but you have to promise you won't tell anyone else." Which of the
following is the most appropriate response for the nurse to make?
Select one:
a. "I cannot make that promise if it affects your or someone else's safety."

c. "I am bound by the nurse-client relationship to keep your comments private."
d. "I feel that you should share this with your parents first." - ANSWER a. "I

that are dangerous to self or others, the nurse is obligated to report these
behaviors.
A nurse is caring for a terminally ill client of the Muslim faith and observes the
client to be unconscious and having Cheyne-Stokes respirations. The family has
repositioned the bed so that the client is on the right side facing toward the wall.
, The nurse does not question this action because of which of the following?
Select one:
a. The religious practice of concealing the face of the dying client should be
supported.
b. This positioning is preferred for a client with respiratory distress.
c. This positioning has religious significance for the client and family.
d. The nurse should support the family in their efforts to make the client
comfortable. - ANSWER c. This positioning has religious significance for the
client and family.
According to Muslim teachings, it may be comforting to the dying client and
family to turn the client on the right side to face Mecca. When death occurs, the
body must be kept covered at all times, and it is preferred that only healthcare
professionals of the same gender touch the body. In this situation, observing the
position of the client would indicate that the spiritual needs of the client and
family were being met.
A nurse is admitting a client diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTD)
to the mental health unit. The client is confused and disoriented. When
developing a plan of care, which of the following would be the priority
intervention for this client?
Select one:
a. Accept and make the client feel safe.
b. Explain unit rules to the client.
c. Orient the client to the unit.
d. Stabilize the client's psychiatric needs. - ANSWER a. Accept and make the
client feel safe.
Clients in a mental health unit need to feel accepted and a client that is confused
needs to feel safe. Safety is the client's most basic need, making this the priority
intervention.

cancer. Which statement made between the adult children would best indicate the
