HESI FUNDAMENTALS 2020 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS .1. The nurse is teaching a patient how to use a cane. Which information
will the nurse include in the teaching session?
a. Place the cane at the top of the hip bone.
b. Place the cane on the stronger side of the body.
c. Place the cane in front of the body and then move the good leg.
d. Place the cane 10 to 15 inches in front of the body when walking.
ANS: B
Have the patient keep the cane on the stronger side of the body. A person’s
cane length is equal to the distance between the greater trochanter and the
floor. The cane should be moved first and then the weaker leg. For maximum
support when walking, the patient places the cane forward 15 to 25 cm (6 to
10 inches), keeping body weight on both legs. The weaker leg is then moved
forward to the cane, so body weight is divided between the cane and the
stronger leg.

action will the nurse take?
a. Encourage wearing tight shoes.
b. Set the pace for the exercise session.
c. Stop the exercise if pain is experienced.
d. Force muscles or joints to go just beyond resistance.
, ANS: C
Instruct the patient to stop the activity if pain, fatigue, or discomfort is
experienced. Assess for pain, shortness of breath, or a change in vital signs; if
present, stop the exercise. Let each patient move at his or her own pace.
Assess for joint limitations, and do not force a muscle or a joint during
exercise. Teach patient to wear comfortable shoes and clothing for exercise.
3. The nurse is developing a plan of care for a patient diagnosed with activity
intolerance. Which strategy will the nurse use to provide the best chance of
maintaining patient compliance?
