NURSING PROCESS, SAFETY, AND INFECTION CONTROL
Q1
A newly admitted client reports dizziness when standing. The practical nurse’s first action during the assessment phase of the
nursing process is to:
A. Encourage the client to walk unassisted to the bathroom to evaluate independence
B. Immediately apply physical restraints to prevent a fall
C. Document the complaint and wait for the registered nurse to assess
D. Obtain orthostatic vital signs and assess gait and balance before the client ambulates
Correct Answer: D
Assessment is the first step of the nursing process. Orthostatic vital signs and a focused mobility assessment provide objective data needed
to plan safe interventions and prevent falls.
Q2
A client with a known latex allergy is scheduled for a procedure. The practical nurse reviews the supply list and finds a latex
catheter. The priority action is to:
A. Proceed with the latex catheter and monitor for a reaction after the procedure
B. Replace the latex catheter with a latex-free alternative before the procedure begins
C. Apply a thin cloth barrier over the latex catheter and continue
D. Document the allergy and take no further action
Correct Answer: B
Clients with latex allergy must not be exposed to latex products. Substituting a latex-free catheter eliminates the risk of an allergic or
anaphylactic reaction.
Q3
While performing hand hygiene, a practical nurse notices a small cut on the hand. The most appropriate action before
providing client care is to:
A. Cover the cut with an occlusive dressing and wear gloves for all client contact
B. Ignore the cut because alcohol-based gel will disinfect it
C. Continue care without gloves because the cut is minor
D. Refuse all client assignments until the cut heals completely
Correct Answer: A
Broken skin is an entry point for pathogens. Covering the cut and using gloves protects both the nurse and the client while allowing safe
delivery of care.
Q4
A client is placed on contact precautions for Clostridium difficile. After providing care, the practical nurse should remove
personal protective equipment and perform hand hygiene by:
A. Washing hands with soap and water because alcohol-based gels do not reliably kill C. difficile spores
B. Using alcohol-based hand rub only
C. Rinsing hands with water without soap
D. Wearing gloves so that hand hygiene is unnecessary
Correct Answer: A
C. difficile spores are resistant to alcohol. Soap-and-water hand washing is required after contact with a client who has C. difficile infection.
Q5
During a fire drill, a practical nurse is caring for a client who is receiving oxygen. The first priority action is to:
A. Gather personal belongings before assisting any clients
B. Close all windows and continue the oxygen therapy at a higher flow rate
C. Move the client and any other ambulatory clients away from the immediate danger zone following the facility’s evacuation plan
D. Wait for the fire department to arrive before taking any action
Correct Answer: C
In a fire, the priority is rescue—removing clients from immediate danger. Oxygen supports combustion and should be managed according to
facility policy after clients are safe.
