A much higher than normal body temperature. Correct Hyperthermia

A) Be open and flexible to alternatives.
B) Describe desired outcomes.
C) Be aware of age-related differences.
D) Comply with the plan of care. Correct Answer: C

A nurse working at a diabetic clinic conducts a session on health teaching for diabetes
management to a group of clients. What should be the nurse's first step?
A) Discussing the focus of the health education with other team members.
B) Assessing the functional abilities of the clients who are supposed to attend the session.
C) Preparing the study outline to guide the discussion in the given direction.
D) Including everyone who walks in the clinic during the session. Correct Answer: B
The nurse's first step should be assessing the functional abilities of the clients who would be
participating in the health education session. This would help the nurse concentrate on the area
that holds maximum interest to the clients and is useful to them. Including everybody who walks
in the clinic is the final step. Discussing the focus of the health education with other team
members should be done after the scope of the session is decided. Thereafter, a study outline can
be prepared.
A nurse uses the computer to access health records of the clients. What care should the nurse
take when using a computer to access health records?
A) The password and access number should be shared only with the client.
B) The password and access number should be shared only with the auditors.
C) The password and access number should be kept secret and changed regularly.
D) The password and access number should be shared only with the physician. Correct Answer:
C
Under HIPPA regulations, the access number and password are assigned to authorized personnel,
such as a nurse, who use the computer for health records. These are to be kept a secret and
changed regularly. The password and access number are not shared with anyone, including the
physician, client, or auditors.
, A laboratory assistant who is trying to view the electronic record of a client's personal history
gets an error message, "You are not authorized to view this information." What is the reason for
this message?
A) The laboratory assistant does not have the correct password.
B) The laboratory assistant is trying to view archived data.
C) The laboratory assistant does not have the correct access number.
D) The laboratory assistant can only retrieve medical records but cannot view the details. Correct
Answer: D
As per HIPPA regulations, it is important to block the type of information that personnel in
various departments can retrieve. Laboratory assistants can retrieve information from the medical
records, but cannot view information in the client's personal history. Even if the laboratory
assistant had the correct access number and the password or was trying to view archived data, he
would not have been able to access a client's personal history.
A nurse, when documenting the health details of a client in an acute care agency, fills out all the
details under assessment, diagnosis, planning, and implementation. What did the nurse miss as
per The Joint Commission (TJC) standards?
A) Client's diet chart
B) Evaluation of outcomes
C) Physician's feedback
D) Client's past medical history Correct Answer: B
Current Joint Commission standards require that the medical records of clients cared for in acute
care agencies must identify the steps of the nursing process: assessment, diagnosis, planning,
implementation, and evaluation of outcomes. A client's medical history and diet chart or a
physician's feedback are not a part of The Joint Commission's standards of documentation.
A nurse has administered 1 unit of glucose to the client as per order. What is the correct
documentation of this information?
A) 1 bottle of glucose
B) 1 Unit of glucose
C) One U of glucose
D) 1U of glucose Correct Answer: B
The nurse should write "1 Unit of glucose." The nurse cannot write "1 bottle" or "one U of
glucose" because these are not the accepted standards. "1U" is an abbreviation that appears in the
JCAHO "Do Not Use" list. It should be written as "1 Unit," instead of "1U" because "U" is
sometimes misinterpreted as "zero" or "number 4" or "cc."
A physician has asked a nurse to use written forms of communication to share the client's health
status with other medical personnel. Which of the following is an example of a written form of
communication?
