Question 1
While the nurse aide is assisting a client to commode, a visitor enters the room. How SHOULD the nurse
aide respond?
Correct Answer
"Would you please wait in the lobby?"
Rationale:
The nurse aide should respond by asking the visitor to wait in the lobby because the primary responsibility at this moment is
to ensure the client's safety and privacy while on the commode, and the nurse aide cannot simultaneously attend to the
client's needs and interact with the visitor. By directing the visitor to wait in the lobby, the nurse aide can maintain a safe
and respectful environment for the client, while also being available to provide assistance if needed.
Question 2
The nurse aide should perform oral care on a client who is unconscious at LEAST every:
Correct Answer
2 hours.
Rationale:
The nurse aide should perform oral care on a client who is unconscious at LEAST every 2 hours because unconscious clients
are at risk for aspiration and oral care helps to prevent the accumulation of secretions and bacteria that can increase this
risk. Regular oral care also helps to maintain the client's oral hygiene and prevent skin breakdown, which is particularly
important for clients who are unable to perform oral care themselves.
Question 3
The nurse aide SHOULD report a client's concerns directly to the:
Correct Answer
nurse supervisor.
Rationale:
A nurse supervisor is the correct answer because they are the most senior and authoritative healthcare professional on the
unit, responsible for overseeing the care provided to clients and making decisions about their treatment. By reporting
concerns directly to the nurse supervisor, the nurse aide ensures that the issue is addressed promptly and effectively by
someone with the necessary expertise and authority to take action.

,Question 4
Before assisting a client into a bath or shower, the nurse aide should FIRST:
Correct Answer
check the temperature of the water.
Rationale:
The nurse aide should check the temperature of the water first because it is crucial to ensure the water is at a comfortable
and safe temperature for the client, taking into account their individual needs and any potential temperature-related health
concerns. By doing so, the nurse aide can prevent potential burns or discomfort, which is a critical aspect of ensuring the
client's safety and well-being during bathing or showering.
Question 5
A client looks forward to playing cards each morning. The nurse aide SHOULD:
Correct Answer
plan the client's schedule so that the client is bathed and dressed in time for playing cards.
Rationale:
The nurse aide should plan the client's schedule so that the client is bathed and dressed in time for playing cards because the
client's morning routine is centered around this activity, and ensuring the client is clean and dressed will enhance their
overall experience and ability to participate. By prioritizing the client's schedule accordingly, the nurse aide can help the
client feel prepared and able to enjoy their daily activity without any disruptions or delays.
Question 6
A client with Alzheimer's disease wanders from room to room while moving the belongings of other clients
to different locations. Alert and oriented clients are angry that their things have been moved. The nurse aide
SHOULD:
Correct Answer
find the missing articles and return them.
Rationale:
The key concept is that the client with Alzheimer's disease is exhibiting behaviors that may be causing harm or distress to
others, which is a priority issue that requires attention and intervention. Therefore, the nurse aide should "find the missing
articles and return them" to restore order and calmness to the situation, alleviating the concerns and anger of the alert and
oriented clients.
Question 7
A client is paralyzed on the left side the nurse aide SHOULD place the signaling device:
Correct Answer
on the clients right hand.
Rationale:
The nurse aide should place the signaling device on the client's right hand because the client is paralyzed on the left side,
making it difficult or impossible for them to use their left hand to signal for assistance. By placing the device on the client's
right hand, the nurse aide ensures that the client has a functional hand to use in case of an emergency, promoting
independence and safety.

, Question 8
Physical restraints are used MOST often:
Correct Answer
to prevent client injury.
Rationale:
Physical restraints are used MOST often to prevent client injury, as they are often employed in situations where a client's
behavior poses a risk of harm to themselves or others, such as in cases of agitation, aggression, or suicidal ideation. By
restraining the client, healthcare professionals aim to prevent injury or harm, thereby prioritizing the client's safety and well-
being.
Question 9
What is the FIRST thing a nurse aide should do when finding an unresponsive client?
Correct Answer
call for help.
Rationale:
When a nurse aide finds an unresponsive client, the first action should be to call for help because it is crucial to alert other
healthcare professionals in the facility, such as the nursing staff, to the client's condition and ensure a prompt response to
provide necessary care and interventions. By calling for help first, the nurse aide can ensure that the client receives
immediate attention and treatment, which is essential to prevent potential harm or even death.
Question 10
What type of fire can be put out with water?
Correct Answer
Paper
Rationale:
Paper is not the correct answer to the question "What type of fire can be put out with water?" because water is not an
effective extinguishing agent for fires involving paper or other organic materials.
Question 11
When caring for a client from another country, the nurse aide SHOULD:
Correct Answer
be sensitive to the client's cultural needs.
Rationale:
When caring for a client from another country, the nurse aide should be sensitive to the client's cultural needs because
cultural differences can affect the client's perception of health, illness, and treatment, and failure to consider these
differences can lead to misunderstandings and ineffective care. By being sensitive to the client's cultural needs, the nurse
aide can provide care that is tailored to the client's unique cultural background and values, promoting better health
outcomes and a positive care experience.
