NNAAAP 3 (wrong answers study)

4. When helping a client who is recovering from a stroke to walk, the nurse aide should assist:

(B) on the client’s weak side

WHY SHOULD THE NURSE AID ASSIST A CLIENT WHO HAD A STROKE FROM THEIR WEAK SIDE RATHER THAN FROM BEHIND?

BECAUSE THE CLIENT IS MORE LIKELY TO FALL ON THEIR WEAK SIDE, THUS NEEDS TO BE SUPPORTED ON THEIR WEAK SIDE

35. Clean bed linen placed in a client’s room but NOT used should be:

(C) taken to the nurse in charge

WHY SHOULD A CLEAN BED LINEN PLACED IN A CLIENT’S ROOM BUT NOT USED BE TAKEN TO THE NURSE INSTEAD OF THE LINEN CLOSET?

Clean bed linen taken into a client's room but left unused is considered potentially contaminated by the room's environment. It must be placed in the dirty linen container to prevent cross-contamination and the spread of infections, rather than being returned to a clean linen closet or used for another client. [1, 2]

IT COULDDDD BE DIRTY, SO DONT PUT IT IN THE CLEAN LINEN CLOSET, BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY AND TAKE IT TO THE CHARGE NURSE

36. The nurse aide finds a conscious client lying on the bathroom floor. The FIRST thing the nurse aide should do is:

B) call for assistance from the nurse in charge

IF THE NURSE AIDE FINDS A CONSCIOUS CLIENT LYING ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR, WHY SHOULD THEY CALL FOR THE NURSE IN CHARGE, RATHER THAN CHECK FOR SIGNS OF INJURY?

BECAUSE THEYRE ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR, AND THAT IS NOT NORMAL, YOU NEED TO CALL THE NURSE IN CHARGE RATHER THAN JUST CHECK FOR SIGNS OF INJURY

50. If a nurse aide needs to wear a gown to care for a client in isolation, the nurse aide MUST:

(C) take the gown off before leaving the client’s room

WHY MUST THE NURSE AIDE TAKE THE GOWN OFF BEFORE LEAVING THE CLIENT IN ISOLATION ROOM RATHER THAN IN THE DIRTY UTILITY ROOM?

The gown must be removed before leaving the client's isolation room to contain pathogens and prevent cross-contamination. Wearing or carrying a contaminated gown into the hallway or dirty utility room spreads infectious agents to the environment, staff, and other patients

YOU MUST TAKE IT OFF IN THE ISOLATED PATIENT’S ROOM!!!!

55. Which temperature is considered MOST accurate?

(D) Rectal

WHY IS RECTAL TEMPERATURE CONSIDERED THE MOST ACCURATE?

Rectal temperature is the medical "gold standard" because it accurately measures your core body temperature. The rectum is insulated inside the body, close to internal organs, meaning it is least affected by external factors like sweat, airflow, or the foods you eat

56. What is a beginning sign of a pressure sore?

(C) Discoloration

WHY IS DISCOLORATION CONSIDERED A BEGINNING SIGN OF A PRESSURE SORE AND NOT SWELLING?

Discoloration indicates impaired blood flow. When pressure cuts off circulation, skin and tissue become oxygen-deprived. This causes the area to look red on lighter skin tones and purple, bluish, or darkened on darker skin tones.

REDDISH SKIN IS A SIGN OF A PRESSURE SORE

RED RED RED

NOT SWELLING
