3. A client sustained a crushing injury to his right arm during a car accident. He arrives to the emergency room complaining of numbness in his right hand. He has no other injuries. What should the nurse do first?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Assessing the radial pulse checks for adequate circulation and potential complications.

4. The nurse uses proper body mechanics to move a client up in bed. What action by the nurse will increase their risk of a workplace injury?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Placing the bed in the lowest possible position increases the risk of injury because it does not support proper body mechanics.

Keeping feet apart to provide a wide base of support (choice C) helps with stability and balance. Facing the direction of the movement (choice D) is essential for maintaining proper alignment and reducing the risk of injury.
