The practical nurse (PN) contacts the healthcare provider about an older client who is agitated and
aggressive with the staff. Which reason should the PN use to request a prescription for wrist restraints?
A. To decrease the client's agitation and acting-out behaviors.
B. To provide an effective way to prevent falls when the client is alone.
C. To protect the client and reduce the likelihood of lawsuits.
D. To ensure the client's safety when the benefits outweigh the risks. - ANSWERWER-D. Restraints
should be used when the benefits outweigh the risks in providing a safe environment for the client,
and ensuring the safety of others. Restraints can increase agitation (A) and are not the most effective
way to prevent falls (B). Restraints may provide protection, but must be diligently monitored to
prevent negligent injury
Which action should the practical nurse (PN) implement when supporting an older client who is afraid of
dying?
A. Ask the client about his belief of a spiritual life after death.
B. Provide basic comfort measures to alleviate pain and breathlessness.
C. Use open-ended questions to encourage the client to share feelings.
, D. Talk about common beliefs that others have expressed about death. - ANSWERWER-C. Using
openended questions gives a client the opportunity to share feelings, fears, and concerns about the
process of dying. Although (A and D) provide topics of discussion about death, the client is often
selfcentered and is best supported by encouragement to express personal feelings about death. (B)
provides palliative physical measures, but the client should be supported and allowed to verbally
express emotional distress and anxiety.
A family member of a dying client asks the practical nurse (PN) if the client knows the family is at the
bedside. The PN explains that which of the five senses persists the longest during the dying process? A.
Smell.
B. Touch.
C. Vision.
D. Hearing. - ANSWERWER-D. As death approaches, hearing (D) is the sense that persists even when
the client is unable to respond. (A, B, and C) decline before the sense of hearing.
Which action should the practical nurse (PN) implement to help a male client cope with his fear as he
approaches death?
A. Tell the client that he will soon find peace and comfort.
B. Encourage family members to cry at the client's bedside.
C. Hold the client's hand and tell him he is not alone.
D. Explain the signs of impending death to the family. - ANSWERWER-D. Therapeutic touch, such as
holding the hand of a client who is dying, communicates the presence of others (C) and helps reduce
feelings of aloneness, expresses genuine care and concern, and supports a fearful client who is dying
or is unable to respond. Telling a client that he is going to find peace and comfort (A) in death may
increase a sense of anxiety. Because family dynamics vary considerably, encouraging outward
expression of family grief (B) may contribute to the client's anxiety and fears.
An older client is receiving nasogastric tube (NGT) feedings for several days. Which finding should
the practical nurse (PN) report to the healthcare provider? A. Soft, formed stools. B. Urine output
