- A.
Restlessness.
- B.
Sleeplessness.
- C.
Decubitus ulcers.
- D.
Bleeding and shock.
Correct Answer
C. Decubitus ulcers.Explanation
Wrinkles in bedclothes can cause decubitus ulcers, also known as pressure ulcers or bedsores. These ulcers occur when there is prolonged pressure on the skin, leading to reduced blood flow and tissue damage. Restlessness and sleeplessness may be discomforting, but they are not as serious as the development of decubitus ulcers. Bleeding and shock are not directly caused by wrinkles in bedclothes, making decubitus ulcers the most serious problem.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Change position every 2 hours.Explanation
Changing position every 2 hours is an important way to reduce the incidence of decubitus ulcers. This helps to relieve pressure on certain areas of the body, which can prevent the development of ulcers. Keeping the client in bed and forcing fluids every 2 hours may have some benefits, but they are not as crucial in preventing decubitus ulcers as changing position regularly.Rate this question:

When giving mouth care to an unconscious patient, the safest position to prevent aspiration is with the head turned to the side. This position helps to ensure that any fluids or secretions that may be present in the patient's mouth do not flow into the airway and cause choking or aspiration. It allows gravity to assist in draining any fluids out of the mouth and reduces the risk of them entering the lungs. This position is commonly recommended for unconscious patients to maintain their airway and prevent complications.Rate this question:

When lifting a heavy object, it is important to protect your back and use proper lifting technique. Bending at the knees allows you to engage the strong muscles in your legs, which can handle the weight more effectively than your back. Keeping your back straight helps to maintain proper alignment and minimize the risk of injury. This method distributes the weight evenly and reduces strain on the back, making it the correct and safest way to lift a heavy object.Rate this question:

To guard against breaking the dentures, it is necessary to either line the emesis basin with a paper towel or fill the sink with water. This is because dentures are fragile and can easily break if dropped onto a hard surface like the sink. By using a paper towel or filling the sink with water, there is a cushioning effect that helps protect the dentures from impact and reduces the risk of them breaking.Rate this question:

However, it is also necessary to lower the bedrails when you are at the bedside to provide direct care and assistance to the patient. This ensures their comfort, allows for easier communication, and facilitates their mobility when needed.Rate this question:

Before assisting a client into a wheelchair, the first action would be to check if the wheels of the chair are locked. This is important to ensure the client's safety and stability while transferring into the wheelchair. If the wheels are not locked, there is a risk of the chair moving or rolling away, potentially causing harm to the client.

Correct Answer
A. Passive range of motion to all joints,Explanation
When giving an unconscious patient a bath, it is important to perform passive range of motion to all joints. This means gently moving each joint through its full range of motion without the patient's active participation. This helps to prevent stiffness, contractures, and muscle atrophy that can occur when a person is immobile for an extended period of time. It also promotes circulation and helps maintain joint flexibility. The charge nurse or physical therapist may assist in this process, but it does not necessarily require a doctor's order.Rate this question:

- A.
Tredelenberg position.
- B.
Hyperextension.
- C.
Legs dangling at the side of the bed.
- D.
Fowler's position.
Correct Answer
D. Fowler's position.Explanation
Fowler's position is the best position for Mrs. Kelley because it involves sitting up at a 45-60 degree angle, which helps to improve lung expansion and promote easier breathing. This position also helps to prevent aspiration and allows for easier feeding. The Tredelenberg position involves the bed being tilted with the head lower than the feet, which is not suitable for Mrs. Kelley's condition. Hyperextension and having the legs dangling at the side of the bed are also not appropriate positions for someone on bed rest.Rate this question:

When moving a wheelchair onto an elevator, it is important to stay behind the chair and pull it toward you. This position allows for better control and stability while maneuvering the wheelchair onto the elevator. Pushing the chair away from you can be more difficult to control and may increase the risk of accidents or injuries. Staying in front of the client to observe their condition is not necessary during the process of moving the wheelchair onto the elevator. Holding the door open from the side can be helpful, but the primary focus should be on safely maneuvering the wheelchair.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Urine will not return to the bladder, causing infection.Explanation
The Foley bag must be kept lower than the client's bladder so that urine will not return to the bladder, causing infection. This is because if the bag is positioned higher than the bladder, gravity will cause urine to flow back into the bladder, increasing the risk of infection. By keeping the bag lower than the bladder, urine will flow out of the bladder and into the bag, preventing any potential contamination or infection.Rate this question:

Speed the flow of blood to the area.
- B.
Prevent heat exhaustion.
- C.
Prevent or reduce swelling.
- D.
Prevent the formation of scar tissue.
Correct Answer
C. Prevent or reduce swelling.Explanation
Cold applications, such as ice packs or cold compresses, are commonly used to prevent or reduce swelling. When applied to the affected area, cold temperature causes vasoconstriction, which narrows the blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the area. This helps to decrease inflammation and prevent the accumulation of excess fluid, thereby reducing swelling. Cold applications can also provide temporary pain relief by numbing the area. However, it is important to note that cold applications should not be used for prolonged periods or on certain conditions, as it may cause tissue damage.Rate this question:

Clients receiving an enema are usully placed
- A.
On the right side.
- B.
On the left side.
- C.
Flat on the back.
- D.
In a semisitting position
Correct Answer
B. On the left side.Explanation
When receiving an enema, clients are usually placed on the left side. This position allows the enema solution to flow into the descending colon, which is on the left side of the body. Gravity helps the solution move through the colon more effectively in this position, facilitating the desired effect of the enema. Placing the client on the right side, flat on the back, or in a semi-sitting position would not provide the same benefits and may hinder the effectiveness of the enema.Rate this question:

- D.
Have the client count respirations whilse you take her pulse.
Correct Answer
B. Not tell the patient what you are going to do.Explanation
The nurse aide should not tell the patient what they are going to do when counting respirations. This is because if the patient is aware that their respirations are being counted, they may alter their breathing pattern, leading to inaccurate results. It is important for the nurse aide to obtain an accurate measurement of the patient's respirations in order to assess their respiratory status effectively. Therefore, not informing the patient about the counting process helps ensure the reliability of the measurement.Rate this question:

C. Stat the facts clearly.Explanation
The nurse aide should state the facts clearly when giving information to the charge nurse for an incident report. This is important because an incident report should provide an accurate and objective account of what happened. Including opinions as to the cause of the incident may introduce bias and subjective interpretation, which can hinder the investigation and resolution of the incident. Writing in the client's chart that an incident occurred is necessary, but it is not the main focus of the question. Keeping the report in the personal file is also not the correct approach as incident reports are typically filed in a designated system for documentation and analysis.Rate this question:
