1. A nurse enters a client's room and finds a small fire in the trash can.
After removing the client, what is the next action?
• A. Close the door to the room
• B. Pull the fire alarm
• C. Use a fire extinguisher
• D. Run to get help
Answer: B
Rationale: RACE: Rescue (client), Alarm (pull alarm), Contain (close
doors), Extinguish (use extinguisher). After removing the client, the
nurse must activate the alarm before attempting to extinguish the fire.
2. Which finding indicates a client is safe to receive a clear liquid diet?
• A. Active bowel sounds in all four quadrants
• B. Absent bowel sounds
• C. Nausea and vomiting
• D. Post-operative day 1 after bowel resection without flatus
Answer: A
Rationale: Active bowel sounds indicate some GI function. Absent
bowel sounds, active vomiting, or lack of flatus post-bowel surgery
indicate ileus, and clear liquids would be contraindicated.

Answer: A
Rationale: The correct order for donning PPE is: Gown, Mask (or
respirator), Goggles/face shield, Gloves. This sequence protects the
nurse from contamination.
4. A nurse is removing PPE after leaving a client's room. Which item
should be removed first?
• A. Mask
• B. Goggles
• C. Gown
• D. Gloves
Answer: D
Rationale: Gloves are considered the most contaminated and are
removed first, followed by goggles, gown, and mask (last, after stepping
out of the doorway for airborne precautions).
5. A client has a new diagnosis of Clostridioides difficile. Which
disinfectant is appropriate for surface cleaning?
• A. Isopropyl alcohol 70%
• B. Bleach solution (1:10 dilution)
