1.Which of the following is the most comfortable position for a client
with a respiratory problem? –
-Fowler's position;
When a client is having difficulty breathing, the Fowler's position can
provide relief. When sitting in the Fowler's position, the client is upright
at 90 degrees, allowing the chest to expand as much as possible. Prone
(on the abdomen), supine (on the back), and lateral (on the side) are all
flat positions, which can make respiratory distress worse.
2.To convert four ounces (oz) of liquid to milliliters (mL), the nurse aide
should multiply 4 by –
-30mL;
When converting milliliters (mL to fluid ounces (oz), remember that 30
mL = 1 oz. Although one ounce is slightly less, the amounts are
considered equal by doctors and pharmacists.
3. While eating dinner, a client starts to choke and turn blue. The nurse
aide SHOULD
- -call for assistance and perform the Heimlich maneuver; Abdominal
thrusts (the Heimlich maneuver) is the best response to choking. Calling
for assistance as you prepare to do abdominal thrusts will alert others to
the emergency. You can try a quick back slap, but if the food is not
immediately dislodged, quickly start abdominal thrusts. To perform
abdominal thrusts, stand behind the client and use your hands to exert
upward pressure on the bottom of the diaphragm.
4. The nurse aide is going to help the client walk from the bed to a chair.
What should the nurse aide put on the client's feet? –
-Rubber-soled slippers or shoes;
When helping a client ambulate, you must prevent the client from
falling. Proper footwear should always be worn for any type of walking,
even a short distance. Rubber-soled slippers or shoes provide traction to
prevent falls. Socks, stockings, or slippers made from fabric can make
the client slip or lose his or her balance. Walking in bare feet can lead to
foot injuries, which is especially dangerous for diabetic clients.
, 5. The equipment you need for oral care of an unconscious client
includes - -toothette/mouth swab;
Because an unconscious client is not able to assist with oral care, you
must take extra precautions to prevent the client from choking or
aspirating. The client's head should be turned to the side. If possible,
lower the head of the bed. Gently clean the teeth and gums with a
separate moist toothette or mouth swab for each area of the mouth.
When you've finished, wipe the client's mouth and raise the head of the
bed to its previous position.
6. How many tips does a quad-cane base have? –
-four;
A quad-cane has four tips to provide a broad base to support the client
while walking. The client holds the cane on the strong or unaffected
side. To walk, the client should place the cane about an arm's length
away, with all four tips touching the ground at the same time. Next, the
client should step forward with the weak leg, using the cane for stability.
5. When taking a client's radial pulse, the nurse aide's fingertips should
be placed on the client's –
-Wrist;
A radial pulse is found at the client's wrist. To locate it, place your index
and middle fingers on the hollow area below the thumb. Apply light
pressure to feel the pulse. Count each beat for 30 seconds and multiply
by 2 to get the pulse rate. If the client has an irregular heartbeat, count
for 60 seconds. Record the pulse rate on the client's chart.
6. Clean bed linen placed in a client's room but NOT used should be –
-put in the dirty linen container;
Once linen has been in a client's room, it is no longer considered clean.
Each client's room may have pathogens or sources of possible infection
that can be spread by objects from that room. Opened supplies or items
with sterile packaging that has been opened should also be discarded,
even if they have not been used.
7. While making an empty bed, the nurse aide sees that the side rail is
broken. The nurse aide SHOULD –
-report the broken side rail immediately;
Every staff member is responsible for keeping clients safe at all times.
This includes monitoring all equipment and reporting when anything
needs repair. Never use broken equipment or try to create a temporary
fix for equipment that is not working properly. Tag the broken bed and
move it so that another client can't use it. Replace it immediately with
one that has functioning side rails.
