The nurse is teaching a client how to do active range of motion (ROM) exercises.To exercise the hinge joints, which action should the nurse instruct the client to perform?
Tilt the pelvis forwards and backwards.
Turn the head to the right and left.
Bend the arm by flexing the ulnar to the humerus.
Extend the arm at the side and rotate in circles.
The Correct Answer is C
Choice A rationale
Tilting the pelvis forwards and backwards exercises the pelvic joints, not the hinge joints.
Choice B rationale
Turning the head to the right and left exercises the neck joints, not the hinge joints.
Choice C rationale
Bending the arm by flexing the ulnar to the humerus exercises the hinge joints, such as the elbow, which is a hinge joint.
Choice D rationale
Extending the arm at the side and rotating in circles exercises the shoulder joint, which is a ball-and-socket joint, not a hinge joint.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
A urine specific gravity of 1.015 is within the normal range and does not indicate dehydration. Dehydration typically results in a higher urine specific gravity due to the concentration of solutes in the urine.
Choice B rationale
A urine specific gravity of 1.005 is lower than normal and indicates dilute urine, which is not consistent with dehydration. Dehydration would result in more concentrated urine with a higher specific gravity.
Choice C rationale
A urine specific gravity of 1.035 indicates highly concentrated urine, which is consistent with dehydration. When a client has a history of vomiting and diarrhea, they are likely to be dehydrated, leading to a higher urine specific gravity.
Choice D rationale
A urine specific gravity of 1.025 is slightly higher than normal but not as high as 1.035. While it may indicate some level of concentration, it is not as indicative of severe dehydration as a specific gravity of 1.035.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Requesting removal initiated by the Health Information Manager is not necessary in this scenario. The focus should be on accurately documenting the missed occurrence rather than removing previously entered documentation. This approach does not address the need to document the 0900 occurrence.
Choice B rationale
Creating an electronic correction after 1400 notes are officially unlocked implies that there was an error in the original documentation. Since the issue here is not correcting an error but rather adding missed documentation, creating a correction may not be appropriate.
Choice C rationale
Entering the occurrence after the 1400 notes and identifying it as a “late entry” is an option, but it may not provide sufficient clarity regarding the timing of the documentation. Using a “late entry” label could potentially lead to confusion or misinterpretation.
Choice D rationale
Making an electronic addendum following the 1400 documentation is the best approach. An electronic addendum allows the nurse to add additional information to the chart without altering the original entry. This approach maintains the integrity of the original documentation while clearly indicating that the 0900 occurrence was added after the fact. It ensures accuracy and transparency in the medical record.
