Sample questions from Fundamental 12TH Edition Test Bank

This material has 90 questions with answers and rationales. Here are the first 5.

1. 1.Refer to the client's chart. Which action is the priority when preparing to enter the room?

   • A.Use sterile gloves for all direct contact.
   • B.Don a gown and gloves before entering.
   • C.Wear a surgical mask without additional precautions.
   • D.Place the client in a negative-pressure room.

   Rationale: New watery diarrhea after clindamycin therapy and a positive C. difficile assay indicate the need for contact precautions, including gown and gloves on entry. A surgical mask alone does not prevent contact transmission, and negative-pressure ventilation is intended for airborne infections. Clean gloves are appropriate for routine care; sterile gloves add no protection against this route of transmission.

2. 2.Before administering an oral medication in an outpatient infusion center, which identification procedure is appropriate?

   • A.Compare the client's chair number with the assignment sheet.
   • B.Ask a familiar staff member to confirm the client's identity.
   • C.Ask whether the client is the person named on the medication package.
   • D.Ask the client to state a name and date of birth and compare both with the medication record and identification band.

   Rationale: Two approved person-specific identifiers should be actively obtained and matched with the medication record and identification band. A yes-or-no name question invites an erroneous agreement, and a chair number identifies a location rather than a person. Recognition by staff does not replace standardized identification.

3. 3.During a home safety visit, which recommendations should be included for parents of a toddler? Select all that apply.

   • A.Store cleaning products in empty beverage containers.
   • B.Store medications in a locked cabinet.
   • C.Use a baby walker near stairs to improve balance.
   • D.Secure tall furniture to the wall.
   • E.Keep the water heater at or below 120 F.

   Rationale: Locked medication storage reduces poisoning risk, and anchoring furniture prevents tip-over injuries. A water heater setting at or below 120 F reduces scald risk. Baby walkers increase fall risk, especially near stairs, rather than safely teaching balance. Cleaning products must remain in labeled original containers because beverage containers encourage accidental ingestion.

4. 4.While setting up a sterile dressing change, a student notices that a sterile gauze pad has become wet from fluid on the work surface. What should the student do?

   • A.Discard the contaminated materials and establish a new sterile field.
   • B.Place a dry sterile pad over the wet pad.
   • C.Allow the wet area to air-dry before proceeding.
   • D.Use the pad if the fluid appears clear.

5. 5.After giving a subcutaneous injection, which action best prevents a needlestick injury?

   • A.Recap the needle using both hands.
   • B.Place the used syringe on the medication cart until care is complete.
   • C.Activate the safety device and discard the intact unit immediately into a sharps container.
   • D.Remove the needle manually before disposal.
