## Practice Questions with Answers & Rationales
### Question 1: Elderly Client with Fractured Hip
, **An elderly client with a fractured left hip is on strict bedrest. Which nursing measure is essential to
the client's nursing care?**
A. Massage any reddened areas for at least five minutes.
B. Encourage active range of motion exercises on extremities.
C. Position the client laterally, prone, and dorsally in sequence.
D. Gently lift the client when moving into a desired position.
**Correct Answer: D**
**Rationale:** To avoid shearing forces when repositioning, the client should be lifted gently across a
surface (D). Reddened areas should not be massaged (A) since this may increase damage to already
traumatized skin. To control pain and muscle spasms, active range of motion (B) may be limited on the
affected leg. The position described in (C) is contraindicated for a client with a fractured left hip.
### Question 2: NGT Medication Administration
**The nurse is administering medications through a nasogastric tube (NGT) which is connected to
suction. After ensuring correct tube placement, what action should the nurse take next?**
A. Clamp the tube for 20 minutes.
B. Flush the tube with water.
C. Administer the medications as prescribed.
D. Crush the tablets and dissolve in sterile water.
