A nurse is conducting the Weber's test on a client. Which of the following is an appropriate action for the nurse to take?
Deliver a series of high-pitched sounds at random intervals.
Whisper a series of words softly into one ear.
Place an activated tuning fork in the middle of the client's forehead.
Hold an activated tuning fork against the client's mastoid process.
The Correct Answer is C
C. This procedure helps assess the conduction of sound through bone to both ears, which can indicate whether hearing loss is conductive or sensorineural. The sound should be heard equally in both ears if hearing is normal. If there is unilateral hearing loss, the sound will be heard better in one ear.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
C. Wearing a mask when working within close proximity to the client helps prevent the transmission of respiratory droplets containing the influenza virus. This is especially important when providing direct care to the client, such as during assessments or procedures.
A. Metronidazole is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, not viral infections like influenza. Administering metronidazole would not prevent the spread of influenza.
B. Protective eyewear is typically used to prevent exposure to bloodborne pathogens or other bodily fluids that could splash into the eyes. In the case of influenza, the primary mode of transmission is through respiratory droplets, so protective eyewear is not necessary for preventing its spread.
D. Negative airflow rooms are typically used for clients with airborne infections, such as tuberculosis, where there is a risk of droplet nuclei remaining suspended in the air for prolonged periods. Influenza is primarily spread through respiratory droplets and does not require negative airflow isolation.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. While metal objects are generally a concern in imaging procedures like MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), they are not typically a concern for an intravenous pyelogram (IVP). IVP uses X-ray technology, and there is no magnetic field involved, so metal objects do not interfere with the imaging process.
B. Monitoring for pain in the suprapubic region is not specific preparations for an intravenous pyelogram.
C. Assisting the client with bowel cleansing is the most appropriate preparation for an intravenous pyelogram. Clearing the bowels helps ensure that the imaging of the urinary tract is not obstructed by stool or gas, providing the clearest possible images.
D. Oral contrast agents are commonly used for imaging studies such as CT scans or barium studies of the gastrointestinal tract to enhance the visualization of certain structures. However, for an IVP, contrast material is injected intravenously to visualize the urinary system, and oral contrast is not necessary.
