Questions 1–10: Fundamentals and Patient Safety
1. A nurse enters a client's room and finds the client lying on the floor. What
should the nurse do first?
A. Notify the health care provider.
B. Assess the client for injuries and responsiveness.
C. Help the client return to bed.
D. Complete an incident report.
Correct answer: B. Assess the client for injuries and responsiveness.
Rationale: The nurse must first assess the client's condition to identify immediate
threats and determine the need for emergency interventions before moving the
client.
2. Which action is most effective for preventing the transmission of
microorganisms between clients?
A. Wearing gloves for every client interaction.
,B. Using sterile gloves when administering oral medications.
C. Performing hand hygiene at the recommended moments.
D. Wearing a surgical mask throughout the shift.
Correct answer: C. Performing hand hygiene at the recommended moments.
Rationale: Proper hand hygiene is the primary measure for preventing health
care-associated infections and interrupting the transmission of microorganisms.
3. A nurse is preparing to administer medication to a client. Which action best
promotes medication safety?
A. Verify the client's identity using two approved identifiers.
B. Identify the client by room number.
C. Ask another client to confirm the person's name.
D. Administer the medication based on the client's appearance.
Correct answer: A. Verify the client's identity using two approved identifiers.
Rationale: Two approved identifiers, such as the client's name and date of birth,
help ensure the medication is administered to the correct person.
4. Which client should the nurse assess first?
A. A client with chronic arthritis reporting pain of 6 out of 10.
,B. A client requesting assistance with bathing.
C. A client awaiting discharge instructions.
D. A client with sudden difficulty breathing and cyanosis.
Correct answer: D. A client with sudden difficulty breathing and cyanosis.
Rationale: Acute respiratory distress and cyanosis indicate potentially life-
threatening hypoxemia. Airway and breathing problems take priority over routine
needs.
5. A nurse is caring for a client with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis. Which
precaution is appropriate?
A. Contact precautions with a private room.
B. Airborne precautions in an airborne infection isolation room.
C. Droplet precautions with a surgical mask only.
D. Protective isolation with positive room pressure.
Correct answer: B. Airborne precautions in an airborne infection isolation room.
Rationale: Pulmonary tuberculosis spreads through airborne particles. The nurse
should use a fit-tested N95 or higher-level respirator and an airborne infection
isolation room.
6. Which intervention is appropriate for a client at high risk for pressure injuries?
, A. Massage reddened areas over bony prominences.
B. Keep the head of the bed elevated at 90 degrees continuously.
C. Reposition the client according to an individualized schedule and offload
pressure.
D. Use a donut-shaped ring beneath the sacrum.
Correct answer: C. Reposition the client according to an individualized schedule
and offload pressure.
Rationale: Repositioning, pressure redistribution, and offloading reduce
prolonged tissue pressure. Massaging reddened areas and using donut-shaped
devices can worsen tissue damage.
7. A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for oxygen therapy. Which
safety measure is essential?
A. Keep oxygen equipment away from flames and smoking materials.
B. Apply petroleum jelly inside the client's nostrils.
C. Allow smoking if the oxygen is temporarily disconnected.
D. Place electrical equipment directly against oxygen tubing.
Correct answer: A. Keep oxygen equipment away from flames and smoking
materials.
Rationale: Oxygen supports combustion. Smoking, open flames, and ignition
sources create a serious fire hazard. Water-based lubricants are preferred when
needed.
