    When getting ready to dress a client, the nurse aide SHOULD:

    • Get the first clothes the nurse aide can reach in the closet

    • Give the client a choice of what to wear

    • Use the clothes the client wore the day before

    • Choose clothes that the nurse aide personally likes

    Correct Answer
    A. Give the client a choice of what to wear
    Explanation
    The nurse aide should give the client a choice of what to wear because it promotes autonomy and allows the client to express their individual preferences. Giving the client a choice also helps to maintain their dignity and respect their personal preferences. It is important for the nurse aide to prioritize the client's comfort and preferences when assisting with dressing.

    The nurse aide notices that a client's mail has been delivered to the client's room. The nurse aide SHOULD:

    • Open the mail and leave it on the client's table

    • Open the mail and read i to the client

    • Read the mail to make sure it doesn't contain upsetting news

    • Give the client the unopened mail and offer help as needed

    Correct Answer
    A. Give the client the unopened mail and offer help as needed
    Explanation
    The nurse aide should give the client the unopened mail and offer help as needed. This is the most appropriate action because it respects the client's privacy and allows them to open their own mail. Additionally, offering help shows support and assistance if the client needs it. Opening the mail or reading it to the client would be a violation of their privacy and autonomy. Reading the mail to check for upsetting news is not the nurse aide's responsibility.

    In giving care according to the client's Bill of Rights, the nurse aide SHOULD:

    • Provide privacy during the client's personal care

    • Open the client's mail without permission

    • Use the client's personal possessions for another client

    • Prevent the client from complaining about care

    Correct Answer
    A. Provide privacy during the client's personal care
    Explanation
    The nurse aide should provide privacy during the client's personal care because it is a fundamental right of the client to have their personal space respected and to feel comfortable during intimate care activities. This ensures that the client's dignity is maintained and promotes a therapeutic and respectful environment. Opening the client's mail without permission, using their personal possessions for another client, or preventing the client from complaining about care would all violate the client's rights and undermine their autonomy and well-being.

    If you think a resident has been abused:

    • Tell the abuser to stop

    • Keep quiet

    • Report the abuse

    • Wait to see if it happens again

    Correct Answer
    A. Report the abuse
    Explanation
    If you think a resident has been abused, it is important to report the abuse. Reporting the abuse is necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of the resident. By reporting the abuse, appropriate actions can be taken to address the situation and protect the resident from further harm. It is not enough to simply tell the abuser to stop or wait to see if it happens again, as this may not effectively address the issue or prevent future abuse. Keeping quiet would also not be a suitable response, as it would not provide any assistance or support to the resident.

    If a person is visually impaired, you would:

    • Scold the person for not wearing glasses

    • Identify yourself whenever you enter the room

    • Discourage the person from being independent

    • Avoid talking to the person

    Correct Answer
    A. Identify yourself whenever you enter the room
    Explanation
    When a person is visually impaired, it is important to identify yourself whenever you enter the room. This is because the person may not be able to recognize or see who is entering, and it helps them to be aware of your presence. It also allows them to feel more comfortable and ensures effective communication between both parties. By identifying yourself, you are showing respect and consideration for their condition, and promoting inclusivity and understanding.

    If a person is hearing impaired:

    • Get the person’s attention before talking

    • Scold the person for not wearing a hearing aid

    • Shout

    • Avoid talking to the person

    Correct Answer
    A. Get the person’s attention before talking
    Explanation
    When a person is hearing impaired, it is important to get their attention before talking because they may not be able to hear or understand what is being said. By getting their attention first, it allows them to focus on the conversation and gives them the opportunity to use any necessary accommodations, such as lip reading or sign language. Scolding the person for not wearing a hearing aid is not helpful or respectful, shouting may not be effective or comfortable for the person, and avoiding talking to them can be isolating and exclusionary.

    The nurse aide is caring for a client who is agitated. The nurse aide SHOULD:

    • Speak loudly so the client can hear the instructions

    • Ask to reassign the care of this client

    • Talk in a slow, calm, reassuring manner

    • Tell the client to be quiet

    Correct Answer
    A. Talk in a slow, calm, reassuring manner
    Explanation
    When a client is agitated, it is important for the nurse aide to communicate in a slow, calm, reassuring manner. Speaking loudly may further agitate the client, while asking to reassign the care may not be necessary if the nurse aide can effectively manage the situation. Telling the client to be quiet is not appropriate and may escalate the agitation. Therefore, talking in a slow, calm, reassuring manner is the most appropriate approach to help calm the client.

    Correct Answer
    A. Protect the client from injury
    Explanation

Side rails can be a potential hazard as clients may accidentally hit or bump into them while moving or turning in bed. Padding the side rails helps to minimize the risk of injuries such as bruises, cuts, or fractures that could occur from such collisions. It provides a soft and cushioned surface that absorbs impact and reduces the chances of harm to the client.

    • Ask the nurse in charge what to do

    • Tell the client that eating is not allowed during the night

    Correct Answer

    • Fresh air

    • Clean clothing

    • Hand washing

    • Isolation

    Correct Answer

    Hand washing is the most important measure to prevent the spread of infection because it helps to remove and kill germs that may be present on the hands. Germs can easily transfer from surfaces to hands and then to other people or objects, leading to the spread of infections. By washing hands with soap and water or using hand sanitizers, the majority of germs can be eliminated, reducing the risk of infection transmission. This simple practice is crucial in maintaining personal hygiene and preventing the spread of diseases.

    Correct Answer
    A. You might be exposed to blood or body fluids
    Explanation
    Wearing disposable gloves is necessary when there is a possibility of being exposed to blood or body fluids. This is because such fluids can carry infectious diseases, and wearing gloves helps to prevent the transmission of these diseases. Gloves act as a barrier between the skin and the potentially contaminated fluids, reducing the risk of infection. Therefore, it is important to wear disposable gloves in situations where there is a chance of coming into contact with blood or body fluids.

    • Provide the date and then test the client

    Correct Answer
    A. Point to the date on a calendar and say the date
    Explanation
    When a confused client asks about the day, pointing to the date on a calendar and saying the date is the most appropriate response. This allows the client to receive immediate information about the current date and helps them orient themselves in time. It is a simple and effective way to address the client's question and provide them with the information they need. Ignoring the request or dismissing the importance of the date may increase the client's confusion and anxiety. Providing the date and then testing the client can be done if further assessment is needed to evaluate their cognitive function.

    • Restrain the person

    • Protect the person from injury

    Correct Answer
    A. Protect the person from injury
    Explanation
    During a seizure, it is important to protect the person from injury. This can be done by removing any objects that may cause harm, such as sharp or hard objects, and cushioning their head with a soft material. It is also important to clear the area around the person to prevent them from hitting any nearby objects. Restraining the person or leaving the room to find help may not be necessary or helpful in this situation. Holding the person's hand may provide some comfort, but the priority should be to ensure their safety.

    Help prevent dehydration by:

    • Cutting back on fluid intake

    • Encourage fluid intake

    • Bathing twice a day

    • Withholding fluids

    Correct Answer
    A. Encourage fluid intake
    Explanation
    Encouraging fluid intake is the correct answer because it is the most effective way to prevent dehydration. When the body loses more fluids than it takes in, dehydration can occur. By encouraging fluid intake, individuals can replenish the lost fluids and maintain proper hydration levels. This can be done by drinking water, consuming beverages such as sports drinks or fruit juices, and eating foods with high water content. Cutting back on fluid intake or withholding fluids can worsen dehydration, while bathing twice a day does not directly address fluid intake.
