1. A nurse in a well-child clinic receives a telephone call from a parent who states that their
child accidentally swallowed paint thinner. The child is awake and alert. Which of the
following responses should the nurse make?
A. Have your child drink one large glass of water.
B. Hang up and call a poison control center hotline. ✅
C. Bring your child into the clinic later today.
D. Induce vomiting in your child with syrup of ipecac.
Rationale: The first action the nurse should recommend is for the parent to call the Poison
Control Center for specific instructions. Inducing vomiting can cause additional harm by
exposing the esophagus to caustic substances, and drinking water may not be appropriate
depending on the type of poisoning.
2. A nurse is documenting a client’s medical record. Which of the following entries should the
nurse record?
A. Oral temperature slightly elevated at 0800
B. Administered pain medication ✅
C. Incision without redness or drainage
D. Drank adequate amounts of fluid with meals
Rationale: The nurse should document objective, specific information. “Administered pain
medication” is a factual statement, whereas other options use vague terms like “slightly
elevated” or “adequate,” which lack precision.
3. A nurse is providing oral care for a client who is unconscious. Which of the following actions
should the nurse take?
A. Place the client in a side-lying position. ✅
B. Brush the client’s teeth daily.
C. Apply mineral oil to the client’s lips.
D. Rinse the client’s mouth with an alcohol-based mouthwash.
Rationale: Placing the client in a side-lying position prevents aspiration during oral care. Alcohol
based mouthwash is drying, and mineral oil is not recommended because it can be aspirated.
