1. Which of the following are essential steps in proper hand
hygiene?
A. Rubbing hands for at least 5 seconds
B. Using alcohol-based hand sanitizer if hands are not visibly
soiled
C. Washing with soap and water when hands are visibly dirty
D. Drying hands with a clean towel
Correct answers: B, C, D
Rationale: Hand hygiene requires at least 20 seconds of
washing with soap and water if visibly soiled, or using an
alcohol-based sanitizer if not. Drying with a clean towel
prevents contamination.
2. A nurse is preparing to administer an oral medication.
Which actions are correct?
A. Verify the patient’s identity using two identifiers
B. Check the medication label three times
C. Document the medication before administration
D. Offer water unless contraindicated
Correct answers: A, B, D
Rationale: Correct medication administration involves verifying
the patient, checking the medication label multiple times, and
,assisting with swallowing. Documentation occurs after giving
the medication.
3. Which vital signs indicate a patient may be experiencing
hypoxia?
A. SpO2 of 88%
B. Heart rate of 110 bpm
C. Respiratory rate of 28/min
D. Blood pressure 130/80 mmHg
Correct answers: A, B, C
Rationale: Hypoxia can cause low oxygen saturation,
tachycardia, and tachypnea. Blood pressure may not be
immediately affected.
4. When performing a bed bath, which are correct nursing
practices?
A. Maintain patient privacy
B. Wash from clean areas to dirty areas
C. Use a single cloth for the entire body
D. Apply lotion after drying skin
Correct answers: A, B, D
Rationale: Privacy, washing clean-to-dirty, and moisturizing are
proper practices. Using a single cloth increases the risk of cross-
contamination.
5. Which interventions prevent patient falls in a hospital?
A. Keeping the call light within reach
B. Ensuring proper lighting in the room
C. Leaving the bed in high position
,D. Using nonskid footwear
Correct answers: A, B, D
Rationale: Fall prevention involves accessible call lights, proper
lighting, and nonskid shoes. Beds should always be in the
lowest position.
6. What are signs of dehydration in adults?
A. Dry mucous membranes
B. Tachycardia
C. Increased urine output
D. Poor skin turgor
Correct answers: A, B, D
Rationale: Dehydration causes dry mucous membranes,
tachycardia, and decreased skin elasticity. Urine output usually
decreases.
7. The nurse is assessing a patient with a nasogastric (NG)
tube. Which actions are correct?
A. Check tube placement before feeding
B. Irrigate the tube with sterile water only
C. Keep the head of bed elevated at 30–45 degrees
D. Clamp the tube when not in use
Correct answers: A, C
Rationale: Proper NG tube care includes checking placement
and elevating the head of the bed to reduce aspiration risk.
Irrigation can use tap water if not immunocompromised;
clamping is not always required.
, 8. Which are appropriate interventions for a patient with
impaired skin integrity?
A. Reposition every 2 hours
B. Apply barrier cream to affected areas
C. Use donut-shaped cushions directly under pressure wounds
D. Assess the skin daily
Correct answers: A, B, D
Rationale: Frequent repositioning, barrier creams, and regular
skin assessment prevent pressure injuries. Donut cushions may
worsen pressure necrosis.
9. The nurse recognizes which of the following as normal
findings in vital signs?
A. Adult temperature of 37°C (98.6°F)
B. Adult pulse of 92 bpm
C. Adult respiratory rate of 25/min
D. Adult blood pressure 120/80 mmHg
Correct answers: A, B, D
Rationale: Normal adult ranges: temp ~36–37.5°C, pulse 60–
100 bpm, respiratory rate 12–20/min, BP ~120/80 mmHg.
10. When applying a sterile dressing, which actions are
correct?
A. Perform hand hygiene before the procedure
B. Touch the sterile field with gloved hands only
C. Keep the field at waist level
D. Use clean gloves for handling sterile supplies
Correct answers: A, C
