Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions

Question 1 of 5

A client has sustained an open fracture. What nursing intervention will best prevent osteomyelitis in this client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Proper hand hygiene is crucial in preventing infections such as osteomyelitis in clients with open fractures. Keeping the hands clean helps reduce the risk of introducing harmful pathogens to the wound site. Delegating all client personal care to specific unlicensed assistive personnel (Choice A) is not appropriate as direct involvement in wound care is essential in preventing infections. Placing the client in contact precautions (Choice B) is not directly related to preventing osteomyelitis in this context. Administering pain medication (Choice D) is important for managing the client's pain but does not directly address the prevention of osteomyelitis.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse educates a client about how to reduce their risk for osteoporosis. Which of these statements by the nurse is correct? (Select all that apply)

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, and quitting smoking can help decrease the risk of osteoporosis.

Question 3 of 5

What device would be best to use for a client who is immobile?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A mechanical lift is the most suitable device for a client who is immobile as it provides safe and efficient assistance in moving the individual. A standing assist device is used for support during standing activities, not for transferring an immobile client. A transfer board is helpful for assisting a client in sliding from one surface to another but may not be the best option for someone who is completely immobile. A gait belt is used for providing support and stability during walking or transferring, which may not be effective for a client who is immobile and requires more comprehensive assistance.

Question 4 of 5

The goal for a client with impaired mobility is to prevent atelectasis. What nursing intervention would best help the client meet this goal?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Assisting the client to the orthopneic position is the best nursing intervention to help prevent atelectasis. This position improves lung expansion by allowing the chest to expand fully, aiding in the prevention of atelectasis. Offering a protein-rich diet (choice B) is important for overall nutrition but does not directly address preventing atelectasis. Offering a bedpan for toileting (choice C) and turning the client every 4 hours (choice D) are important for preventing pressure ulcers in immobile clients but do not directly prevent atelectasis.

Question 5 of 5

What soft tissue musculoskeletal injury is excessive stretching of a ligament?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A sprain is an injury involving excessive stretching of a ligament.
