| B) | Bathing prevents skin from peeling. | |
| C) | Bathing reduces the possibility of infection. | |
| D) | Bathing keeps mucous membranes soft and moist. | |
| Ans: | C | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse should explain to the elderly client that a daily bath reduces the possibility of infection. Although restoring cleanliness is the primary objective, bathing has several other benefits such as stimulating circulation, providing a refreshed and relaxed feeling, and improving self-image. Bathing does not necessarily prevent skin from peeling or maintain core body temperature. | ||
| 2. | A nurse is preparing to help a client with a skin infection have a tub bath. In which of the following ways can the nurse ensure the client’s safety? | |
| A) | Check that the bathroom has a non-skid floor. | |
| B) | Check that the grab bars are at shoulder level. | |
| C) | Give the client a damp towel for bathing. | |
| D) | Keep a bottle of bathing oil near the tub. | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse can ensure the client’s safety by checking for nonskid strips on the floors of bathtubs and showers, along with strategically placed handles and grab bars that reduce the risk of falls for elderly adults when bathing. Grab bars should be placed not at shoulder level but at arm level and within reach of the dominant arm. As the client has a skin infection, providing him with a damp towel will add to his problem. Oils are not used in showers or bathtubs as they increase the risk of falls. | ||
| 3. | A nurse is caring for a client with a fractured arm. As part of hair care, what should the nurse do to increase circulation and distribution of sebum in the client’s hair? | |
| A) | Use a wide-toothed comb. | |
| B) | Brush the client’s hair slowly. | |
| C) | Apply a conditioner or alcohol. | |
| D) | Provide the client with a turban. | |
| Ans: | B | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse should brush the client’s hair slowly so that it increases circulation and distributes oils. The nurse should start brushing the hair at the ends of the hair rather than from the crown downward if the hair is matted or tangled. Turbans or caps are given to clients who have hair loss from chemotherapy or other medical treatments. | ||
| 4. | A nurse is providing nail care to a client at a health care facility. Why is it important for the nurse to soak the client’s hands in warm water prior to nail care? | |
| A) | To soften the keratin | |
| B) | To loosen the nails | |
| C) | To help the cuticles withdraw | |
| D) | To loosen the skin near the nails | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse needs to soak the client’s hands or feet in warm water to soften the keratin and loosen trapped debris. A soft towel is used to help the cuticles withdraw. Warm water will not loosen the nails or the skin near the nails. | ||
