SECTION 1: BASIC CARE & COMFORT - Questions 1-8
Q1: Hygiene - Bed Bath
A nurse is assisting a patient with a bed bath. Which action demonstrates proper hygiene care?
A. Washing from the dirtiest area to the cleanest area
B. Using hot water to promote relaxation
C. Washing from cleanest to dirtiest area to prevent cross-contamination
D. Applying lotion only to the patient's back
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When providing hygiene care, the nurse should wash from the cleanest area to the
dirtiest area to prevent the spread of microorganisms. Water should be warm, not hot, to prevent
burns and skin damage. Lotion should be applied to dry areas of the skin, not exclusively to the back.
[100% CORRECT]

Q2: Oral Hygiene - Unconscious Patient
A nurse is providing mouth care for an unconscious patient. Which action is essential?
A. Use a toothbrush to clean the teeth vigorously
B. Place the patient in a side-lying position with the head turned to the side
C. Use large amounts of water to rinse the mouth
D. Place the patient flat on the back for ease of access
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For an unconscious patient, side-lying position with head turned prevents aspiration of
fluids during oral care. Vigorous brushing can damage gums. Small amounts of water should be used
to prevent aspiration. Supine position increases aspiration risk. [100% CORRECT]
Q3: Sleep Promotion - Non-Pharmacological Measures
Which nursing intervention is most effective in promoting sleep in a hospitalized patient?
A. Administer a sleeping pill every night
B. Keep the room well-lit at all times
C. Provide a quiet environment and offer a back massage
D. Encourage the patient to watch television to relax
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A quiet environment and relaxation techniques (like back massage) promote sleep.
Sleeping pills should not be routine; they have side effects and dependence risk. Light and TV
stimulation interfere with sleep. [100% CORRECT]
Q4: Rest and Sleep - Clustering Care
A patient reports difficulty sleeping in the hospital due to noise and frequent interruptions. Which
nursing intervention is most appropriate to promote sleep?
A. Administer a sleeping medication without further assessment
B. Keep the patient's door open for frequent checks
C. Cluster nursing care activities to minimize nighttime disruptions
D. Turn on all lights to keep the patient oriented
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Clustering nursing care activities minimizes disruptions to the patient's sleep-wake cycle.
Administering medication without assessment is inappropriate. Keeping the door open and turning
on lights would further disrupt sleep. The nurse should provide a quiet, dark environment and limit
interruptions during sleep hours. [100% CORRECT]
Q5: Nutrition - Clear Liquid Diet
A patient is on a clear liquid diet. Which of the following items is appropriate to include on the
patient's meal tray?
A. Milk
B. Orange juice with pulp
C. Chicken broth
D. Pudding
