Type: MCSA

The nurse is caring for a client in shock, and places the bed at an angle with the head lower than the feet Which term will the nurse use when documenting this position in the medical record?

1 Reverse Trendelenburg position

2 Trendelenburg position

3 Fowler’s position

4 Semi-Fowler’s position

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 1: The Trendelenburg position is used to place the head lower than

the feet to improve blood flow to the brain Reverse Trendelenburg places the

bed straight but at an angle that puts the feet lower than the head Fowler’s

position raises the head of the bed into a 90° angle so the client is sitting upright Semi-Fowler’s raises the head of the bed approximately 45° so the client’s head

is upright at a reclining angle

Rationale 2: The Trendelenburg position is used to place the head lower than

the feet to improve blood flow to the brain Reverse Trendelenburg places the

bed straight but at an angle that puts the feet lower than the head Fowler’s

position raises the head of the bed into a 90° angle so the client is sitting upright Semi-Fowler’s raises the head of the bed approximately 45° so the client’s head

is upright at a reclining angle

Which nursing action is inappropriate when providing the client with a

hygienic and comfortable environment?

1 Speaking softly in the hall of the facility

2 Obtaining a bed extender for the client who is very tall

3 Placing a room deodorizer in the room of the client with asthma who complains of the odor in the room

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: Deodorizers might be contraindicated for the client with

respiratory disorders All of the other activities are supportive of the client’s

environmental needs

Rationale 2: Deodorizers might be contraindicated for the client with

respiratory disorders All of the other activities are supportive of the client’s

1 Raise the side rails

2 Place the head of the bed in the semi-Fowler’s position

3 Place the bed in the low position

4 Remove the footboard from the bed

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: The nurse should return the bed to the low position to prevent injury to

the client if he attempts to get out of bed autonomously Side rails are generally

contraindicated with most clients suffering from dementia because of the risk for injury if they attempt to crawl over the rail The position of the bed would be

determined by the time of day, activities the client will be performing, and client preference There would be no reason to remove the footboard from the bed

Question 5

Type: MCSA

The nurse is caring for a client in respiratory distress Which bed position is

the most appropriate for this client?

Rationale 1: The client with respiratory distress will breathe more easily if the bed

is placed in the Fowler’s position, because it reduces the compression of the

abdominal contents into the stomach and allows for full lung expansion Fowler’s position is the best choice if Fowler’s position is not possible due to the client’s condition, but is not as good as Fowler’s because it still allows some

Semi-intrusion of abdominal contents into the diaphragm and limits full excursion

Trendelenburg position would be contraindicated because this causes abdominal organs to press into the diaphragm Flat is also contraindicated, and will increase the client’s respiratory distress

Rationale 2: The client with respiratory distress will breathe more easily if the bed

is placed in the Fowler’s position, because it reduces the compression of the

abdominal contents into the stomach and allows for full lung expansion Fowler’s position is the best choice if Fowler’s position is not possible due to the client’s condition, but is not as good as Fowler’s because it still allows some

Semi-intrusion of abdominal contents into the diaphragm and limits full excursion

Trendelenburg position would be contraindicated because this causes abdominal organs to press into the diaphragm Flat is also contraindicated, and will increase the client’s respiratory distress

Rationale 1: A client with a fractured cervical vertebra must be maintained in a

flat position to prevent any movement of the neck Placing the client into the Trendelenburg position, which would normally be indicated for a client in

shock, would put this client at risk for further damage to the spinal cord Fowler’s position is contraindicated due to the client’s spinal injury, and the reverse Trendelenburg position is contraindicated due to the client’s diagnosis of spinal shock

Semi-Rationale 2: A client with a fractured cervical vertebra must be maintained in a

flat position to prevent any movement of the neck Placing the client into the Trendelenburg position, which would normally be indicated for a client in

shock, would put this client at risk for further damage to the spinal cord Fowler’s position is contraindicated due to the client’s spinal injury, and the reverse Trendelenburg position is contraindicated due to the client’s diagnosis of spinal shock

Question 7

Type: MCSA

The nurse delegates bed making to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)

Which client’s bed should be made by the nurse and not the UAP?

1 The postoperative client diagnosed with dementia on complete bed rest

2 The client who is diagnosed with myocardial infarction who has bathroom privileges

3 The client with increased intracranial pressure on complete bed rest

4 The postoperative client

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: The client with increased intracranial pressure will generally have an

increase in pressure with any activity or movement, so the nurse should change this client’s bed, although the unlicensed assistive personnel could assist the nurse The other clients’ beds could be safely delegated to the unlicensed assistive personnel

Rationale 2: The client with increased intracranial pressure will generally have an

increase in pressure with any activity or movement, so the nurse should change this client’s bed, although the unlicensed assistive personnel could assist the nurse The other clients’ beds could be safely delegated to the unlicensed assistive personnel

Standard Text: Select all that apply

1 Proper disposal of linens that contain drainage

2 What tubes or dressings the client might have

3 How to make hospital corners

4 Whom to inform if they notice anything unusual

5 Placing the call bell in a specific location for a client with mobility concerns

Correct Answer: 1,2,5

Rationale 1: The nurse should instruct the UAP on how to dispose of linens that

contain drainage, and should inform the UAP of any tubes or dressings the client may have in place and the importance of placing the call bell in a specific location for a client with mobility concerns The nurse should not have to teach the UAP how to make a bed, because the UAP should be familiar with the procedure There

is no need to inform the UAP whom to notify because the UAP should inform the nurse if anything unusual occurs

Rationale 2: The nurse should instruct the UAP on how to dispose of linens that
