Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Risk for infection. After surgery to repair a fracture, the priority nursing diagnosis is to monitor for the risk of infection to promote proper healing. Infections can significantly delay the healing process and lead to further complications. Choices A, C, and D are not the priority immediately post-surgery. Disturbed body image, risk for impaired skin integrity, and acute pain may be concerns but are not the priority in the immediate post-operative period following fracture repair.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about individual, family, or community responses to actual or potential health problems or life processes. Choice A is correct because it identifies nursing diagnosis as related to human responses to health conditions or life processes. Choice B is incorrect because nursing diagnoses can change as the patient's condition changes. Choice C is incorrect because a nursing diagnosis is about responses, not just identifying pathology. Choice D is incorrect because a nursing diagnosis is not the same as a disease, illness, or injury; it is a statement about the patient's response to these conditions.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: 30 ml is equivalent to 1 ounce.

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.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Wearing sunglasses, washing hands before touching eyelids, and wearing eye protection when working with fluids are important health promotion activities for vision.
