Pretest
• Use your clickers to complete the following pretest.
Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Question 1
The client is unresponsive and requires total care. Prior to providing oral care, the nurse should assess for which of the following?
1. Presence of pain2. Condition of the skin3. Gag reflex4. Range of motion
Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Rationales 1
1. More appropriate prior to bathing the client.2. More appropriate prior to bathing the client.3. Correct. The client will be positioned in a
sidelying position with the head of the bed lowered because the client is at risk for aspiration. The absence of gag reflex lets the nurse know that the client has no natural defense (cough) and is at a higher risk for aspiration.
4. More appropriate prior to bathing the client.
Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Question 2
The client is in surgery and will be returning to his bed via a stretcher. The nurse plans ahead by making which type of bed and placing the bed in which position?
1. An open bed in low position2. An occupied bed in low position3. A closed bed in high position4. A surgical bed in high position
Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Rationales 2
1. Incorrect.2. Incorrect.3. Incorrect. 4. Correct. Both the placement of
the linens for a surgical bed and placing the bed in a high position facilitate the client’s transfer from a stretcher into the bed.

Question 3
The nurse is observed the UAP perform perineal care for a client. Which of the following actions indicates that further teaching is required?
1. Uses a clean portion of the washcloth for each stroke.
2. Wipes from the pubis to the rectum.3. Uses clean gloves.4. Does not retract the foreskin.
Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Rationales 3
1. This is appropriate.2. This is appropriate.3. This is appropriate.4. Correct. It is important to retract
the foreskin to remove the smegma that collects under the foreskin and can cause bacterial growth.

Question 4
The nurse is discussing foot care with a client who was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Which of the following statements indicates a need for further teaching?

each day.”
Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Rationales 4
1. This is appropriate.2. Correct. The client needs to avoid
walking barefoot as that could cause injury which may result in an infection. Also, neurological impairment is likely which may result in decreased sensation. The client would be unaware of an injury.
3. This is appropriate.4. This is appropriate.

Question 5
The client experiencing labored, shortness of breath has a respiratory rate of 28. The bed is currently in the flat position. The best nursing intervention includes putting the bed in which of the following positions?
1. Fowler’s2. Semi-Fowler’s3. Trendelenburg4. Reverse Trendelenburg
Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Rationales 5
1. Correct. Fowler’s is a semi-sitting position which should ease the client’s breathing.
2. The HOB in semi-Fowler’s is lower. 3. The HOB is lowered in the Trendelenburg
position. 4. The HOB is raised in the reverse
Trendelenburg position, it is a straight tilt and may not be as comfortable as Fowler’s.
