A nurse is admitting a client who has tuberculosis and a
productive cough. Which of the following types of isolation
precautions should the nurse initiate for the client?
A. Contact
B. Droplet
C. Protective
D. Airborne - ANSWER- D. Airborne
Rationale: The nurse should initiate airborne precautions
when a client has an infection that spreads through small
droplets that remain airborne for longer periods, such as
tuberculosis and measles. The client requires a negative-
pressure airflow room, and staff should wear an N95
respirator when in contact with the client. The nurse should
initiate contact precautions when a client has an infection

that spreads through indirect contact, such as major wound
infections or infection with multi-drug resistant organisms
such as MRSA. The nurse should initiate droplet
precautions when a client has an infection that spreads
through droplets larger than 5 microns, such as pneumonia
or streptococcal pharyngitis. The nurse should initiate a
protective environment when clients require a room with
positive-pressure airflow, such as those who have undergone
stem-cell transplants.
A nurse is assessing a client who has Parkinson's disease. Which
of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
A. Pruritus
B. Hypertension
C. Bradykinesia
D. Xerostomia - ANSWER- C. Bradykinesia
Rationale: The nurse should expect to find bradykinesia or
difficulty moving in a client who has Parkinson's disease.
The nurse should expect to find oily skin, which results from
autonomic dysfunction, rather than pruritus, which results
from dry skin. The nurse should expect to find orthostatic
hypotension, which results from autonomic dysfunction. Te
nurse should expect to find uncontrolled drooling, especially
at night, instead of xerostomia or dry mouth in a client who
has Parkinson's disease.

A nurse is assessing four clients for fluid balance. The nurse
should identify that which of the following clients is exhibiting
manifestations of dehydration?
A. A client who has a urine specific gravity of 1.010.
B. A client who has a weight gain of 2.2 kg (2 lb) in 24 hr.
C. A client who has a hematocrit of 45%.
D. A client who has a temperature of 39 degrees Celsius (102
degrees Fahrenheit). - ANSWER- D. A client who has a
temperature of 39 degrees Celsius (102 degrees Fahrenheit).
Rationale: An elevated temperature is a manifestation of
dehydration. The urine specific gravity is within the
expected reference range of 1.010 to 1.025. Concentrated
urine and a specific gravity of grater than 1.030 are
manifestations of dehydration. Weight gain is a
manifestation of fluid volume excess. The hematocrit is

within expected reference range of 37% to 64%. An elevated
hematocrit is a manifestation of hemoconcentration and
dehydration.
A nurse is caring for a client receiving radiation treatments for
cancer. The client states he is experiencing dryness, redness and
scaling at the treatment area. Which of the following should the
nurse instruct the client to do?
A. Sit in the sun for 15 minutes per day.
B. Apply moist heat to the area twice daily.
C. Liberally apply prescribed lotion to the area.
D. Wash the affected area daily with antimicrobial soap. -
ANSWER- C. Liberally apply prescribed lotion to the area.
Rationale: Hydrating lotions are commonly prescribed to
treat irradiated areas. Antimicrobial soaps can be harsh and
further traumatize new epidermal cells. The client should
avoid applying other lotions not prescribed by the
radiologist to affected areas. Clients receiving radiation
therapy should avoid exposing irradiated areas to sun. Moist
heat should be avoided over irradiated areas.
A nurse is caring for a client receiving opiates for pain
management. Initially after the pain management plan was
started, the client was sedated and sleeping most of the time.
