A pct is caring for a 4 year old who reports right armpit. The tech should identify that
which of the following methods should be used to measure pain intensity for this pt?
Ask the child to rate their pain on a scale of 0 to 10.
Ask the child to point to the drawing of the face that matches their pain level.
Ask the child to mark a spot on a line that indicates their pain level.
Ask the child to select a word that best describes their pain level.
Ask the child to rate their pain on a scale of 0 to 10.: A numerical pain scale would not be
appropriate for determining a 4-year-old child's pain level. This pain scale requires
selecting a number from 0 to 10 to indicate pain intensity.
Ask the child to point to the drawing of the face that matches their pain level.: The technician
should identify that the Wong-Baker FACES pain scale should be used to identify pain
intensity for a 4-year-old child. This scale allows the child to select the drawing of the
face that best matches their pain level.
Ask the child to mark a spot on a line that indicates their pain level.: A visual analog scale
would not be appropriate for determining a 4-year-old child's pain level. This scale
requires marking a spot on a line to indicate pain intensity.
Ask the child to select a word that best describes their pain level. A verbal descriptive
pain scale would not be appropriate for determining a 4-year-old child's pain level. This
pain scale requires selecting a word that best describes pain intensity.
,A pct accidentally drops a thermometer and mercury is spilled on the floor. Which
actions should the tech take first?
Mop the floor with a mercury-specific cleanser.
Close the doors to the room.
Evacuate the room.
Dispose of the mercury according to local regulations.
Mop the floor with a mercury-specific cleanser. After closing the doors to the room, the
technician should mop the floor with a mercury-specific cleanser if housekeeping is not
available.
Close the doors to the room. After evacuating the room, the technician should close the

Evacuate the room. The technician should first evacuate the room and notify an
occupational health nurse. Mercury is dangerous and can be inhaled or absorbed
through the skin.
Dispose of the mercury according to local regulations. After mopping up the spill, the
technician should dispose of the mercury by following local environmental safety
regulations.

,A pct is caring for a pt receiving oxygen at 2L/min nasal cannula. The tech notes that the
pts pulse ox is at 91%, what action should the tech take?
Report the pulse oximetry level to a nurse.
Turn the pulse oximetry machine off.
Instruct the patient to take deep breaths.
Increase the patient's oxygen level to 3 L/min.
Report the pulse oximetry level to a nurse. The technician should recognize that a
patient's oxygen level should be above 95%. A pulse oximetry reading of less than 95%
should be reported to a nurse immediately.
Turn the pulse oximetry machine off. The technician should recognize that a pulse
oximetry reading of 91% is below the expected reference range; therefore, the patient's
oxygen level should be continuously monitored.
Instruct the patient to take deep breaths. A nurse or provider might instruct the patient
to breathe normally. However, it is outside the technician's scope of practice to instruct
the patient without directions from a nurse. The technician should report the patient's
oximetry level to a nurse.
Increase the patient's oxygen level to 3 L/min. It is outside the technician's scope of
practice to increase the patient's oxygen level without an order from the provider. The
technician should notify a nurse of the patient's oximetry level.

A pct in a clinic receives a urine sample form a pt who completed a 24 hr urine
collection. The tech should ensure that the following condition has been met?
The specimen was allowed to stand for 8 hr following the final collection.
The final voiding of the 24-hr period was discarded.
The patient cleaned the meatus prior to each void.
The specimen was refrigerated prior to being returned.
The specimen was allowed to stand for 8 hr following the final collection. The patient
should bring the specimen to the clinic as soon as possible after completion of the 24-hr
collection.
The final voiding of the 24-hr period was discarded. The patient should ensure that every
void during the 24-period is included in the specimen.
The patient cleaned the meatus prior to each void. The patient should perform this step
when collecting a clean-catch urine specimen. However, it is not necessary to complete
this step for a 24-hr urine collection.
The specimen was refrigerated prior to being returned. The patient should keep the
specimen cool for the entire collection period to preserve the integrity of the specimen.
