Q1 APPLY THE NURSING PROCESS TO PRIORITIZE SAFE, EVIDENCE-BASED
FUNDAMENTAL NURSING CARE FOR DIVERSE PATIENTS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN
Which action best demonstrates the QSEN competency of safety during a
medication pass?
A. Verifying the patient's identity using two identifiers before administration CORRECT
B. Documenting the medication immediately after the patient swallows it
C. Asking the patient to state their name before giving the medication
D. Checking the medication label against the MAR once at the bedside
RATIONALE: QSEN safety requires using two patient identifiers (name and date of birth or
medical record number) before any medication administration. Asking the patient to state their
name alone is insufficient, checking the MAR only once at the bedside omits the required three
checks, and documenting immediately after swallowing is appropriate but not the defining safety
action.

,Q2 APPLY THE NURSING PROCESS TO PRIORITIZE SAFE, EVIDENCE-BASED
FUNDAMENTAL NURSING CARE FOR DIVERSE PATIENTS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN
A patient on contact precautions for MRSA asks why staff wear gowns and gloves.
Which response is most accurate?
A. To protect you from organisms carried on staff hands and clothing
B. To prevent transmission of your MRSA to other patients and staff CORRECT
C. Because hospital policy requires it for all antibiotic-resistant infections
D. To reduce the need for hand hygiene between patient contacts
RATIONALE: Contact precautions prevent transmission of epidemiologically important organisms
from the infected patient to others via direct or indirect contact. Option A reverses the protective
direction, option C misstates the rationale as mere policy, and option D is false-hand hygiene
remains essential regardless of PPE use.
Q3 APPLY THE NURSING PROCESS TO PRIORITIZE SAFE, EVIDENCE-BASED
FUNDAMENTAL NURSING CARE FOR DIVERSE PATIENTS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN
Which finding most urgently requires the nurse to intervene before assisting a
patient with ambulation?
A. The patient reports feeling dizzy upon standing CORRECT
B. The patient's most recent blood pressure was 118/76 mm Hg
C. The patient is wearing non-skid socks
D. The patient has an IV infusing normal saline at 100 mL/hr
RATIONALE: Dizziness on standing suggests orthostatic hypotension and significantly increases
fall risk, requiring the nurse to keep the patient seated and reassess before ambulation. A normal
blood pressure, non-skid socks, and a routine IV infusion do not contraindicate ambulation.

, Q4 APPLY THE NURSING PROCESS TO PRIORITIZE SAFE, EVIDENCE-BASED
FUNDAMENTAL NURSING CARE FOR DIVERSE PATIENTS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN
Which action by the nurse best demonstrates the ethical principle of fidelity in
fundamental nursing care?
A. Keeping a promise to return within 10 minutes to assist the patient to the bathroom
CORRECT
B. Allocating limited resources fairly among all assigned patients
C. Respecting the patient's right to refuse a prescribed treatment
D. Providing care that benefits the patient and prevents harm
RATIONALE: Fidelity means keeping promises and being faithful to commitments made to
patients. Option B reflects justice, option C reflects autonomy, and option D reflects
beneficence/nonmaleficence.
Q5 APPLY THE NURSING PROCESS TO PRIORITIZE SAFE, EVIDENCE-BASED
FUNDAMENTAL NURSING CARE FOR DIVERSE PATIENTS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN
Which intervention is most appropriate to prevent ventilator-associated
pneumonia in an intubated patient?
A. Maintaining the head of the bed at 30 to 45 degrees CORRECT
B. Performing oral care with tap water every 12 hours
C. Suctioning the airway routinely every 4 hours
D. Changing the ventilator circuit tubing daily
RATIONALE: Elevating the head of the bed 30 to 45 degrees is a core VAP prevention bundle
element that reduces aspiration risk. Routine suctioning is not recommended, ventilator circuits
should not be changed routinely unless soiled, and oral care should use chlorhexidine or
prescribed rinse-not tap water-at appropriate intervals.
