| 1. | A nurse at a care facility assists with numerous aspects of residents’ care. Which of the following ergonomic hazards is the nurse likely to face when providing care? | |
| A) | Assisting with dressing | |
| B) | Lifting heavy loads | |
| C) | Carrying medical equipment | |
| D) | Administering physiotherapy | |
| Ans: | B | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse is vulnerable to the ergonomic hazard of lifting a heavy load. Other ergonomic hazards include reaching and lifting loads far from the body, twisting while lifting, and unexpected changes in load demand during a lift, among others. A nurse is not likely to face an ergonomic hazard when assisting the client with dressing, carrying medical equipment, or administering physiotherapy. | ||
| 2. | A nurse is caring for a client who is in rehabilitation. The nurse observes that the client tends to use incorrect sitting posture. Which of the following sitting positions should the nurse encourage the client to adopt? | |
| A) | The client’s knees should be touching one another. | |
| B) | Both feet should be on the floor directly below the buttocks. | |
| C) | The ankles should be slightly extended. | |
| D) | Buttocks and upper thighs should become the base of support. | |
| Ans: | D | |
| Feedback: | ||
| In a good sitting position, the buttocks and upper thighs become the base of support. Both feet rest on the floor. The knees are bent with the posterior of the knee free from the edge of the chair to avoid interfering with distal circulation. The knees should be separated by a small distance to maintain a neutral position. The feet should be flat on the floor; consequently, they would not be directly below the buttocks but would rather be below the position of the knees. | ||
| 3. | A nurse frequently needs to change the soiled linen and body position of a client who is confined to bed and has a decreased level of consciousness. Which of the following general principles should the nurse follow? | |
| A) | Fasten drainage tubes to the bed linen. | |
| B) | Tuck in pillows and positioning devices. | |
| C) | Raise the bed to the height of the nurse’s elbow. | |
| D) | Change the client’s position every half hour. | |
| Ans: | C | |
| Feedback: | ||
| When caring for clients, the nurse should raise the bed to the height of his or her elbow. The nurse should also change the position of a client who is confined to bed at least every 2 hours, ask for the assistance of at least one other caregiver, remove pillows and positioning devices, unfasten drainage tubes from the bed linen, and use a low-friction fabric or gel-filled plastic sheet, among other things. | ||
| 4. | A nurse is caring for a client who is bedridden following a stroke. The client has been lying in bed for a long time. Which of the following body positions has the highest potential for causing foot drop in a bedridden client? | |
| A) | Supine | |
| B) | Prone | |
| C) | Lateral | |
| D) | Sims’ | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The supine position, in which a person lies on his or her back, creates the potential for foot drop. Foot drop makes the client drag his or her toes on the ground during walking unless a steppage gait is used. The lateral, prone, and Sims’ positions do not have as great a potential to create foot drop. | ||
