Choice D rationale:

Properly disposing of contaminated equipment is important, but hand hygiene is more effective at preventing the spread of pathogens.

Correct Answer is ["1100"]

Explanation

The correct answer is 1100.

Calculation: The current time is 0700 and there are 300 mL remaining in the bag. The IV is infusing at a rate of 75 mL/hr. Therefore, 300 mL ÷ 75 mL/hr = 4 hours. Adding 4 hours to the current time of 0700 gives 1100.

A. A client who is short of breath. B. A client who received pain medication 30 min ago. C. A client who is to be discharged at 11:00. D. A client who is ambulatory and going for an x-ray at 10:00.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

A client who is short of breath is experiencing a life-threatening situation and should be seen first.

Choice B rationale:

A client who received pain medication 30 min ago is likely to be comfortable and can be seen later.

Choice C rationale:

A client who is to be discharged at 11:00 can be seen closer to the discharge time.

Choice D rationale:

A client who is ambulatory and going for an x-ray at 10:00 can be seen after the x-ray.
