Leadership NCLEX Questions
Answers and Rationale
56) C
- A trapeze is essential to allow the client to lift straight up while being moved so that the amount of pull exerted on the limb in traction is not altered. A foot board and extra pillows do not facilitate moving. Either an electric bed or a manual bed can be used for traction, but this does not specifically assist the client with moving in bed.
57) A
- The bell of the stethoscope is not used to auscultate breath sounds. The client ideally should sit up and breathe slowly and deeply through the mouth. The diaphragm of the stethoscope, which is warmed before use, is placed directly on the client's skin, not over a gown or clothing.
58) D
- The skin is cleansed with soap and water (not Betadine), denatured with alcohol, and allowed to air-dry before electrodes are applied. The other three options are correct.
59) A
- A quiet, restful environment is provided as part of seizure precautions. This includes undisturbed times for sleep, while using a nightlight for safety. The client should be accompanied during activities such as bathing and walking, so that assistance is readily available and injury is minimized if a seizure begins. The bed is maintained in low position for safety.
60) B
- According to category-specific (respiratory) isolation precautions, a client with TB requires a private room. The room needs to be well-ventilated and should have at least six exchanges of fresh air per hour and should be ventilated to the outside if possible. Therefore, option 2 is the only correct option.
