1. Death of bone tissue can occur when the blood supply to the bone is disrupted. What is this complication called?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, avascular necrosis. Avascular necrosis is the condition where bone tissue dies due to the disruption of blood supply to the bone. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (Choice A) is a chronic pain condition, delayed union (Choice C) refers to a delayed healing of a fracture, and complex regional pain syndrome (Choice D) is a chronic pain condition typically affecting an arm or leg.

2. A client is post-operative day 1 and reports a sudden increase in blood-tinged liquid draining from his incision after feeling a popping sensation. What is the nurse's next action?

3. The client states, “the doctor says I am nearsighted. I do not get it.” What would be the best response by the nurse?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct response is to explain to the client what nearsightedness means, which is having difficulty seeing distant objects, as known as myopia. Choice A is not helpful as changing doctors is not necessary for this situation. Choice C is premature as wearing glasses is a possible solution but not the only one. Choice D is incorrect as nearsightedness (myopia) often requires glasses for correction.
