Correct answer: A

Rationale:

3. What is the priority nursing diagnosis after surgery to repair a fracture?

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.

4. What observation by the nurse indicates the need for further teaching to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) on assisting with ambulation?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C is the correct answer because the UAP should walk slightly behind or to the side of the client, not in front, to provide proper support during ambulation. Choices A, B, and D are not indicative of incorrect technique or the need for further teaching. Putting shoes on the client, removing floor rugs and loose objects, and using a transfer (gait) belt are all appropriate actions when assisting with ambulation.

5. Which of the following statements by a client with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) does NOT requires further teaching?

Correct answer: C
