A home health nurse is performing a home assessment
for safety. Which comment by the
patient will cause the nurse to follow up?
a. "Every December is the time to change batteries on
the carbon monoxide detector."
b. "I will schedule an appointment with a chimney
inspector next week."
c. "If I feel dizzy when using the heater, I need to have it
inspected."
d. "When it is cold outside in the winter, I will use a
nonvented furnace." - Answer-ANS: D
Using a nonvented heater introduces carbon monoxide
into the environment and decreases
the available oxygen for human consumption and the
nurse should follow up to correct this
behavior. Checking the chimney and heater, changing
the batteries on the detector, and
following up on symptoms such as dizziness, nausea,
and fatigue are all statements that are
safe and appropriate and need no follow-up
The nurse is caring for an older-adult patient admitted
with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
due to food poisoning. The nurse completes the health

b. The water comes from the county water supply.
c. A son and family recently moved into the home.
d. This home is not furnished with a microwave oven. -
Answer-ANS: A
Electricity is needed for refrigeration of food, and lack of
electricity could have contributed to
the nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea due to food
poisoning. This discussion about the patient's
electrical needs can be referred to social services.
Foods that are inadequately prepared or
stored or subject to unsanitary conditions increase the
patient's risk for infections and food
poisoning, and an assessment should include storage
practices. The water supply, the
increased number of individuals in the home, and not
having a microwave may or may not be
concerns but do not pertain to the current health care
needs of this patient.
The patient has been diagnosed with a respiratory
illness and reports shortness of breath.
The nurse adjusts the temperature to facilitate the
comfort of the patient. At which
temperature range will the nurse set the thermostat?
a. 60 ° to 64° F
b. 65 ° to 75° F
c. 15 ° to 17° C

A homeless adult patient presents to the emergency
department. The nurse obtains the
following vital signs: temperature 94.8° F, blood
pressure 106/56, apical pulse 58, and
respiratory rate 12. Which vital sign should the nurse
address immediately?
a. Respiratory rate
b. Temperature
c. Apical pulse
d. Blood pressure - Answer-ANS: B
The temperature indicates the patient is experiencing
hypothermia. Homeless individuals are
more at risk for hypothermia. While all the vital signs are
low, the most critical vital sign at
this time is the temperature
A nurse is teaching the patient and family about wound
care. Which technique will the
nurse teach to best prevent transmission of pathogens?
a. Wash hands
b. Wash wound
c. Wear gloves
d. Wear eye protection - Answer-ANS: A
