NSG 3100/ NSG3100 Exam 1 – Fundamental Concepts & Skills for Nursing Practice I Guide| Galen (Latest 2026/ 2027 Update) 100% Verified Questions & Answers | Grade A QUESTION Perineal care for a female Step 1: Prepare supplies on bedside table. Raise the bed to working height, and lower the top side rail. Lower the head of the bed if tolerated by the patient. Step 2: Put on non sterile gloves. Place the patient in the supine or dorsal recumbent position. Fold down the bath blanket or bed sheets; raise the patient's gown, and cover the remainder of the body with a bath blanket or towel. Place on the bed close to buttocks. Step 3: Wash, rinse, and dry the upper thighs. Using your non-dominant hand, gently separate the labia. Clean the pubic area by using downward strokes toward the anus. Use a different part of the washcloth for each stroke. Repeat until the area is clean. Rinse and dry the area. Continue to clean thoroughly around the labia minora, clitoris, urinary meatus, and vaginal orifice, then rinse by pouring warm water from a peri-bottle over the perineal area. Then dry the area thoroughly, again working from front to back. Step 4: If performing a bed bath do so; if not, cover the patient with her gown and blanket, discard the water, and clean the bedside table. QUESTION Perineal care for a male Answer: Step 1: If performing a bed bath, skip to step 2; if not, prepare supplies on the bedside supplies on the bedside table. Raise the bed to working height, and lower the top side rail. Lower the head of the bed if tolerated by the patient. Step 2: Put on non-sterile gloves. The patient should be in the supine position. Fold down the bath blanket or bed sheets, raise the patient's gown, and cover the remainder of the body with a bath blanket or towel. Place a towel on the bed close to the buttocks. Step 3: Wash, rinse, and dry the patient's thighs. Gently hold the shaft of the penis; if the patient is uncircumcised, retract the foreskin by gently pushing it toward the body. Starting at the urinary meatus, wash the tip of the penis with soap, using a circular motion; wash the shaft of the penis using downward strokes. Step 4: Rinse and dry the penis. Reposition the foreskin in uncircumcised patients by gently pushing the skin toward the tip of the penis. Step 5: Using a clean area of the washcloth, was, rinse, and dry from the scrotal area to the buttocks, including all skin folds. Step 6: If performing a bed bath, do so; if not, cover the patient with his gown and blanket, discard the water, and clean the bedside table. QUESTION Foot care Answer: -Keep feet from getting dry (dry = risk for breakdown) but avoid putting lotion between the toes (breeding ground for bacteria) -Inspect feet carefully, use a mirror if necessary (look for redness, swelling, or areas of breakdown) -Change socks daily -Wear comfortably, well-fitting shoes that do not rub. -Do not walk barefoot at all! -Exercise feet daily to improve circulation -Avoid constriction (tight pants, crossing the legs, etc. ) -Don't let feet get too cold (causes vasoconstriction and poor perfusion) -Have family cut or file nails straight across-may need a referral to podiatrist QUESTION Diabetic foot care Answer: -Diabetics are at an increased risk for infection because of the high sugar content in their blood (bacteria thrive in that environment). -In addition, many diabetics experience neuropathy, meaning they have poor sensation in their lower extremities (many times they have poor feeling in their feet). As a result, they need to have routine inspection and foot care. If they get minor scrapes or cuts, they may not notice them, which predisposes them to infection. -Diabetics are at high risk for lower extremity amputations. -Try to file diabetic's nails instead of cut. Think about consulting a podiatrist to cut their nails. QUESTION Steps for foot care Step 1: If performing a bed bath, precede to step 2; if not, prepare supplies on the bedside table. Raise the bed to working height, and lower the top side rail. Step 2: Place a towel or waterproof pad on the bed; place a basin of warm water on the towel or pad, and pad the edge of the basin with a towel. Soak the hand or foot for about 10 minutes. If the patient is unable to sit in a chair and foot care is being performed in bed, support the patient's knees with pillows as needed. Step 3: Remove the hand or foot from the water. Wash with soap, rinse, and dry, working especially between the fingers or toes. Step 4: Inspect the fingernails or toenails. File or trim the nails at the level of the finger or toe (straight across) if within facility policy. When finished, use a new disposable emery board to round of the sharp corners. Step 5: Gently clean debris from beneath the patient's nails with the cuticle stick if doing so is not contraindicated. Step 6: Apply lotion if desired by the patient. Step 7Repeat steps 2 through 6 as needed for each hand or foot. Step 8: Discard the water, and clean the bedside table.
