Question 1 of 2
The practical nurse (PN) is providing instructions to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) preparing to give a total bed bath to an immobile client who has a continuous feeding via gastrostomy tube (GT). Which instruction is most important for the PN to emphasize?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Keeping the head of the bed raised while the tube feeding is infusing is the correct answer. This is crucial in preventing aspiration, a serious complication where the contents of the stomach enter the lungs. Aspiration can lead to pneumonia, a potentially life-threatening condition.
Therefore, the head of the bed should be kept at a 30-45 degree angle during feeding and for at least 30 minutes after feeding.
Question 2 of 2
Prior to administering pain medication to an adult postoperative client, what information should the practical nurse (PN) obtain? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,C,D
Rationale:
To ensure safe and effective pain management, the nurse should obtain the client's pain rating on a scale of 1 to 10 to assess the current level of pain, the time of the last administration of pain medication to prevent overdosing, and the effectiveness of the last dose to evaluate its impact. These pieces of information directly influence the decision-making process for administering additional pain medication.
