| Morning care is categorized as self-care, partial care, or complete care. Clients identified as partial care most often receive morning care at the bedside, or seated near the sink in the bathroom. They usually require assistance with body areas that are difficult to reach. Clients identified as self-care are capable of managing their personal hygiene independently once oriented to the bathroom. Clients identified as complete care require nursing assistance with all aspects of personal hygiene. In additional to scheduled care, the nurse will offer care as needed. | ||
| 3. | Upon review of the client’s orders, the nurse notes that the client was recently started on an anticoagulant. What is an appropriate consideration when assisting the client with morning hygiene? | |
| A) | Provide the client with an electric shaver. | |
| B) | Provide the client with a firm bristled toothbrush. | |
| C) | Do not allow the client to shower. | |
| D) | Avoid massaging the client’s back with lotion. | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| Electric shavers are recommended when a client is receiving anticoagulant therapy. In addition, the nurse should not provide a firm-bristled toothbrush because the client is more prone to bleeding, and the firm bristles may lead to bleeding. The client should be allowed to shower, unless there are other contraindications. A back massage will provide an ideal time to perform a skin assessment for bruising or breakdown. | ||
| 4. | The nurse and nursing aid are providing perineal care for an incontinent client. What information is important for the nurse to consider when providing perineal care? | |
| A) | Apply moisture barriers to the skin of the perineal area. | |
| B) | Provide excessive hydration to the skin of the perineal area. | |
| C) | Wash the perineal area frequently with soap and water. | |
| D) | Aggressively cleanse the perineal area with a washcloth or towel. | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| Care to the perineal area for an incontinent client includes the use of moisture barriers, skin cleansers, and moisturizers and the avoidance of soap or friction. Measures should be followed to reduce overhydration because this will increase the risk for perineal damage and skin breakdown. | ||
