Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client who had an elective below-the-knee amputation reports pain in the foot that was amputated. What is the best response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct response is to assess the pain intensity by asking the client to rate their pain on a scale of 0-10. This helps the nurse to effectively manage the client's pain. Choice A is incorrect as it dismisses the client's pain without proper assessment. Choice B is incorrect as it assumes the pain is phantom limb pain without assessing the client's current condition. Choice C is incorrect as it invalidates the client's pain experience and does not address the issue at hand.

Question 5 of 5
A client with chronic osteomyelitis is being discharged from the hospital. What is the nurse's priority discharge intervention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Teaching adherence to the antibiotic regimen. In chronic osteomyelitis, the priority is to ensure proper treatment of the infection, which heavily relies on consistent adherence to the prescribed antibiotic regimen. This helps in eradicating the infectious organisms and preventing recurrence. Choices A, B, and D are important aspects of care but teaching adherence to the antibiotic regimen takes precedence as it directly impacts the successful management of chronic osteomyelitis.
