-incorrect: The nurse should place the stool specimen in a clean container using a tongue

depressor.

C. Refrigerate the collected specimen

-incorrect: The nurse should send the collected stool specimen immediately to the laboratory

after labeling the specimen properly to prevent contamination with microorganisms and keep the

specimen from getting cold.

D. Place the stool specimen collection container in a biohazard bag

-The nurse should place the specimen collection container in a biohazard bag with the client

label on the container and the bag for easy identification. This will also prevent contamination

with microorganisms.

-incorrect: Applying suction while inserting the catheter increases the risk of damage to the

tracheal mucosa and removes oxygen from the airways.

3. A nurse is providing teaching to a client regarding protein intake. Which of the following

foods should the nurse include as an example of an incomplete protein?

synthesis of protein in the body.

B. Soybeans

-incorrect: this is a complete protein, contains all of the essential amino acids necessary for the

synthesis of protein in the body.

C. Lentils

-Incomplete proteins are missing 1 or more of the essential amino acids necessary for the

synthesis of protein in the body. Examples of incomplete proteins include lentils, vegetables,

grains, nuts, and seeds.

synthesis of protein in the body.

,4. A nurse is caring for a client who was admitted to a long-term care facility for rehabilitation

after a total hip arthroplasty. At which of the following times should the nurse begin discharge

planning?

A. One week prior to the client‟s discharge

-incorrect: Beginning to plan for the client‟s discharge a week prior to the event might not allow

sufficient time for planning. The nurse should begin discharge planning at the time of admission.

B. Upon the client‟s admission to the care facility

-The nurse should begin discharge planning at the time that the client is admitted to the facility.

C. Once the discharge date is identified

-incorrect: Beginning to plan for the client‟s discharge once the discharge date is identified

time of admission.

might not allow sufficient time for planning. The nurse should begin discharge planning at the

actions should the nurse plan to take?

A. Insert the rectal tube 15.2 cm (6 in)

B. Wear sterile gloves to insert the tubing

-incorrect: The nurse should wear clean (nonsterile) gloves to prevent contamination.

C. Position the client on his left side

-Positioning is an important aspect of administering an enema. Having the client lie on his left

side facilitates the flow of the enema solution into the sigmoid and descending colon.

, D. Hold the solution bag 91 cm (36 inch) above the client‟s rectum

-incorrect: The nurse should hold the solution bag 30 cm (12 in) above the client‟s rectum for

a low enema and 45 cm (18 in) for a high enema. If the nurse holds the solution bag too high,

the solution might run in too fast, causing discomfort and spasms that make retaining the

enema more difficult.



5. A nurse is caring for a client who has bilateral cats on her hands. Which of the following

actions should the nurse take when assisting the client with feeding?

A. Sit at the bedside when feeding the client

-The nurse should avoid appearing to be in a hurry. Sitting at the bedside provides the client with

the nurse‟s full attention during the feeding

B. Order pureed foods

-incorrect: Without any mouth or throat injuries that make chewing or swallowing difficult, the

client should be served foods of an appropriate variety of textures. Pureed foods are for clients

who cannot chew, have difficulty swallowing, or do not have teeth.

C. Make sure feedings are provided at room temperature

-incorrect: The nurse should ask the client if the food is the correct temperature

D. Offer the client a drink of fluid after every bite

-incorrect: If the client is unable to communicate, the nurse should offer the client fluids after

every 3 or 4 mouthfuls. However, there is no indication that this client is unable to communicate.

Therefore, the client should tell the nurse when she would like a drink.



6. A nurse is administering an IM injection to a 5-month-old infant. Which of the following

injection sites should the nurse use?

A. Deltoid

-incorrect: The nurse can use the deltoid muscle for injecting small volumes of medication for

children 18 months of age or older, but its proximity to several nerves and arteries make it a

riskier choice.
