1. The nurse is most concerned about which of these findings in a client with systemic lupus erythematous?

Correct answer: D

Rationale:

2. The nurse Is teaching the client how to administer eye drops. Which of these actions indicates the need for further client education?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Touching the dropper to the eye contaminates it and can lead to infection.

3. Which organization publishes the National Patient Safety Goals?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

4. The client asks the nurse what nonpharmacological intervention can be used to reduce pain and swelling in her joints affected by rheumatoid arthritis. What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

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.
