What is the primary purpose of the healthcare team in a nursing home?
To provide comprehensive care and support to residents. The healthcare team works together to
ensure the physical, emotional, and social well-being of each resident, addressing their individual needs
to maintain or improve their quality of life.
When assisting a patient with ambulation, what is the first step you should take?
Ensure the patient has non-slip footwear. Proper footwear is essential for preventing falls and
ensuring the patient can walk safely. Non-slip shoes or socks help maintain stability.
Which of the following is considered a violation of a resident’s rights?
Leaving a patient alone without notifying staff. This violates the patient’s right to be treated with
respect and to have appropriate supervision. A resident should never be left alone without proper care
or communication.
When performing hand hygiene, which of the following should you do?
Wash hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water. Proper hand hygiene is critical in
preventing the spread of infection, and washing for at least 20 seconds ensures all areas of the hands are
thoroughly cleaned.
If a resident is choking, what should you do first?
Encourage the resident to cough if they are able. If the resident is coughing, it means their airway
is partially blocked, and coughing is an effective way to clear the obstruction.
When making an occupied bed, which side of the bed should you start with?
The far side of the bed. Starting with the far side allows you to adjust the sheets while the patient
remains comfortable and safe, and it reduces the risk of disturbing them.

, How often should you reposition a patient who is bedridden?
At least every two hours. Repositioning is crucial to prevent pressure ulcers, which are caused by
prolonged pressure on the skin. Changing positions regularly helps to promote circulation and prevent
skin damage.
Which of the following is a sign of dehydration in an elderly patient?
Dark, concentrated urine. Dehydration can cause urine to become dark yellow or amber in color,
as the body is trying to conserve water. Dehydration in older adults can lead to confusion, dizziness, and
other complications.
What is the best way to prevent pressure ulcers in immobile patients?
Regularly change the patient’s position and ensure proper nutrition. Pressure ulcers can develop
quickly in immobile patients. By repositioning them regularly and ensuring they receive adequate
nutrition, you help reduce the risk of skin breakdown.
Which of the following is the most important step in preventing the spread of infection?
Handwashing before and after patient contact. Handwashing is the single most effective way to
prevent the spread of infections. It removes harmful pathogens from the hands, reducing the risk of
transmission to patients.
What should you do if you notice a patient has a red, sore area on their heel?
Report the finding to the nurse immediately. A red, sore area may be the beginning of a pressure
ulcer. Early intervention is key to preventing further damage, so informing the nurse is essential.
If a patient is refusing a bath, what should you do?
Respect the patient's wishes and document the refusal. It is important to respect the patient's
autonomy. If they refuse, document the refusal and report it to the nurse to ensure the patient's needs
are still being met.
When performing a range of motion (ROM) exercise on a patient, what should you do?
Move the joints gently and slowly, without causing pain. ROM exercises help maintain joint
flexibility. It’s essential to move the joints within the patient’s pain-free range to avoid injury and
discomfort.
