Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["A","C"]

WRIST - ABLE TO BEND WRIST BACK TOWARD FOREARM:

Abduction

Abduction refers to the movement of a body part away from the body's midline. This movement is typically used for fingers, arms, or legs, but not for the wrist. Therefore, this choice is incorrect for the wrist's range of motion.

Flexion

Flexion refers to the bending of a joint that reduces the angle between two body parts. For the wrist, flexion would involve bending the wrist forward, toward the palm of the hand. Since the patient is able to bend the wrist backward (toward the forearm), this is not the correct choice.

Extension

Extension refers to straightening a joint, which increases the angle between the body parts. For the wrist, extension is the movement where the hand moves away from the palm (backward toward the forearm). This is the correct choice because the patient is able to bend the wrist back toward the forearm, which is extension.

Adduction

Adduction refers to the movement of a body part toward the body's midline. This is not relevant to the wrist, so it is an incorrect option.

SHOULDER - UNABLE TO MOVE THE ARM AWAY FROM THE BODY:

Extension

Extension refers to the movement that straightens a joint, increasing the angle between two parts of the body. For the shoulder, this would involve moving the arm behind the body, and it's not the movement of the arm away from the body, so this is not the correct choice.

Adduction

Adduction refers to moving a body part toward the midline of the body. For the shoulder, this would involve moving the arm closer to the body. This does not correspond to the action of moving the arm away from the body, so this is not the correct choice either.

Flexion

Flexion refers to the bending of a joint that decreases the angle between two body parts. For the shoulder, this would involve raising the arm forward, not moving it away from the body. This is not the correct choice for the described movement.

Abduction

Abduction refers to the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body. In this case, the shoulder movement of moving the arm away from the body is abduction. Since the client is unable to move the arm away from the body (i.e., is experiencing weakness or limited ROM), the shoulder’s range of motion has a restriction in abduction.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Multiple maculopapular pustules over the forehead and chin are suggestive of acne vulgaris or possibly another dermatologic condition that may require medical intervention. If the pustules are widespread or persistent, it should be reported for further evaluation.
B. Bilateral patellar abrasions with eschar formation are common in children and are usually non- threatening unless there are signs of infection. This finding may not require immediate reporting unless the condition worsens.
C. A red, swollen, painful nodule on the upper back is likely a boil or abscess, but it’s important to consider the overall presentation and if there is a risk for systemic infection. This may not need immediate reporting unless symptoms worsen.
D. Small, white flecks on the hair shafts indicate possible head lice, which, while needing treatment,
doesn’t require immediate reporting unless there is a larger health concern associated with it.

A. Ask questions in a vague, nonspecific format. B. Share personal values to put the client at ease. C. Begin with questions that are less sensitive in nature. D. Get the most difficult questions over with first.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. While this approach may seem less intrusive, it can create confusion and may prevent the client from feeling fully understood. Asking vague questions could make it more difficult to get useful information about the client's health concerns.
B. Sharing personal values is generally not appropriate in a clinical interview, as it could create boundaries that compromise the professional relationship. The nurse should maintain objectivity and empathy without sharing personal beliefs.
C. Starting with less sensitive questions allows the nurse to build rapport and trust with the client before delving into more personal or difficult topics. This approach is helpful in easing the client into more sensitive discussions.
D. Asking the most difficult questions right away can overwhelm the client, especially if they are hesitant or uncomfortable. It is better to establish a trusting relationship first and allow the client to open up at their own pace.
