| 1. | A nurse is caring for a 10-month-old child who has had surgery for a cleft palate. The child is put in elbow restraints. The mother comes and asks the nurse to remove the restraints. Which of the following is the most appropriate action for the nurse to take? | |
| A) | Remove a restraint from one extremity. | |
| B) | Remove both the restraints from the elbows for the remainder of the day. | |
| C) | Loosen the restraints without removing them. | |
| D) | Tell the mother that the restraints are important. | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse should remove a restraint from one elbow. The elbow restraint in the child is used to prevent the child from touching the incision site. One restraint at a time can be removed to provide movement in the child, but the mother should be told to supervise the child. Removing both the restraints, not removing the restraints, and loosening the restraints are inappropriate nursing actions. | ||
| 2. | A nurse responds to the call bell and finds another nurse evacuating the client from the room because a garbage can has caught fire. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first? | |
| A) | Evacuate the unit. | |
| B) | Pull the fire alarm lever. | |
| C) | Confine the fire. | |
| D) | Extinguish the fire. | |
| Ans: | B | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse should pull the fire alarm lever. As per the RACE principle of fire management, the flow of activities should be rescue, alarm, confine, and extinguish. The client had already been evacuated by another nurse, so the next action should be to pull the fire alarm lever, followed by confinement of the fire and extinguishing. | ||
| 3. | A nurse is caring for an elderly client at risk of injury due to confusion. The client has a stable gait. Which of the following measures should the nurse first take? | |
| A) | Waist restraint | |
| B) | Locking lap tray chair | |
| C) | Alarm-activating bracelet | |
| D) | Vest restraint | |
| Ans: | C | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse should use an alarm-activating bracelet for the client because the client has a stable gait. This prevents unnecessary confinement to bed, and the client can move freely without getting off the premises. Waist restraints, vest restraints, and chair restraints are restrictive, and their use should be minimal. | ||
| 4. | A nurse visits an elderly client at home and assesses the safety of the client’s environment. Which of the following poses the greatest threat to the client’s safety? | |
| A) | A laundry bag at the corner of the room | |
| B) | Skid-resistant small area rugs on the floor | |
| C) | Area rugs kept on the stairs without carpet | |
| D) | Carpet on the floor of the living room | |
| Ans: | C | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The area rugs kept on the stairs are a health hazard and may cause falls. The elderly client should remove the area rugs from the stairs to prevent accidental injury. Laundry bags, skid-resistant small area rugs, and carpets are not harmful. | ||
