Drink adequate fluids
Avoid physical activity
Limit water consumption
2. The nurse reminds the nursing assistant that the purpose of locking the
wheels of a wheelchair is to:
prevent falls.
keep patient in a position at a table or bedside.
supply a stable support for a patient to lift self.
keep the patient from moving self.
3. What initiative was created to reduce the reliance on physical restraints in
healthcare settings?
Restraint reduction programs
Communication strategies
Patient safety protocols
Geriatric assessment tools
4. Decreased function of which physiologic process causes retention of carbon
dioxide?
Elimination
, Glucose regulation
Fluid and electrolyte balance
Gas exchange
5. In a scenario where a nurse needs to report a significant change in a patient's
condition to a physician, which components of the SBAR method should the
nurse prioritize in their communication?
Background and Recommendation
Background and Situation
Assessment and Recommendation
Situation and Assessment
6. Describe the role of the 'B' in the SBAR communication process and why it is
important in nursing care.
The 'B' stands for Behavior, which focuses on the patient's actions
during care.
The 'B' stands for Briefing, which summarizes the patient's history.
The 'B' stands for Background, which provides context about the
patient's situation and is crucial for effective communication.
The 'B' stands for Baseline, which refers to the initial assessment of the
patient.
7. Which body part is primarily affected by decreased elasticity in older adults,
impacting gas exchange?
Kidneys
Lungs
Liver
, Heart
8. Describe how decreased mobility can lead to complications in bone health
for older adults.
Decreased mobility can lead to osteoporosis due to reduced
weight-bearing activity, which is essential for maintaining bone
density.
Decreased mobility primarily affects muscle strength, not bone health.
Decreased mobility increases the risk of arthritis by causing joint
stiffness.
Decreased mobility has no significant impact on bone health in older
adults.
9. What type of evidence does a narrative literature review represent in
research hierarchy?
High level of evidence
Lower level of evidence
Moderate level of evidence
Systematic review
10. By the year 2050, there will be an estimated __________________ people in the
United States age 65 and older.

fracture, what preventive measure should be implemented to mitigate the
risk of bone complications?
Increase calcium intake without exercise.
Encourage weight-bearing exercises as tolerated.
Advise complete bed rest for recovery.
Limit all physical activity to prevent further injury.
12. What is the primary physiologic process that decreases in function, leading
to carbon dioxide retention in older adults?
Circulation
Digestion
Respiration
Metabolism
13. You have a patient who admits to having several drinks every night after
work. He often misses work because of the effects of his drinking the night
before. Which of the following tools would you use for determining alcohol
