2. A client with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has pneumocystis carinii (PCP). What is the nurse's priority assessment for this client?

Correct answer: B

Rationale:

3. Which of the following is NOT a risk factor for osteoarthritis?

Correct answer: D

Rationale:

4. 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.

5. A client sustains an injury to his heel while the unlicensed assistive personnel and the nurse are moving him up in bed. What force caused the injury?

Rationale:
