do first?
A. Help the client stand immediately
B. Assess the client for injury and level of consciousness before moving
C. Leave to find the charge nurse without assessing
D. Complete an incident report before speaking to the client
Correct Answer: B — Assess the client for injury and level of consciousness before moving
Detailed Rationale: Immediate assessment identifies injury, altered consciousness, pain, and urgent needs
before movement. Call for assistance and follow facility policy.
Why the Other Options Are Incorrect
A. Moving the client before assessment may worsen an injury.
C. Leaving without assessing delays care.
D. Documentation is important, but immediate client assessment comes first.

B. Apply appropriate hand hygiene and PPE based on anticipated exposure for every client
C. Place every client in airborne isolation
D. Reuse disposable gloves between clients
Correct Answer: B — Apply appropriate hand hygiene and PPE based on anticipated exposure for every client

clean body site on the same client?
A. Only at the end of the shift
B. Before moving to the clean body site, changing gloves as indicated
C. Only if hands look dirty
D. After leaving the building
Correct Answer: B — Before moving to the clean body site, changing gloves as indicated
Detailed Rationale: Hand hygiene is required when moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body site,
and gloves do not replace hand hygiene.
Why the Other Options Are Incorrect

nurse’s safest action?

C. Ask the client what dose they prefer
D. Change the dose independently and document later
Correct Answer: B — Clarify the order with the prescriber or pharmacist before administration
Detailed Rationale: Unclear or potentially unsafe orders should be clarified before administration, using
escalation procedures if the concern is unresolved.
Why the Other Options Are Incorrect
A. A written order does not remove the nurse’s responsibility to question safety concerns.
C. Clients should not determine prescription doses.
D. Unapproved dose changes are not a substitute for clarification.
Question 5. Which identifier combination is generally appropriate before administering medication?
A. Room number and diagnosis
B. Client’s name and a second approved identifier, compared with the medication record
C. Bed location and the nurse’s memory
D. A family member’s name and room number
Correct Answer: B — Client’s name and a second approved identifier, compared with the medication record
