RN Comprehensive Predictor Questions
Question 1 of 5
An older client with a history of heart failure is admitted with influenza and requests assistance to sit up in bed to eat lunch. The nurse observes the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) wearing a gown and gloves to assist the client. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Review the need for the UAP to wear a face mask while in close contact with the client. In this scenario, the UAP is wearing a gown and gloves, which are appropriate for contact precautions due to the client having influenza. However, wearing a face mask is essential to prevent the transmission of respiratory infections like influenza. By reviewing the need for the UAP to wear a face mask, the nurse ensures that proper infection control measures are being followed to protect the client and prevent the spread of the virus.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Applying a fitted respirator mask is not necessary for the UAP in this situation.
B: Notifying the nurse of changes in the client's respiratory status is important, but it does not address the immediate issue of the UAP not wearing a face mask.
C: Reassigning the UAP to another client does not address the issue of infection control for the current client.
Overall, choice D is the most

A) is incorrect as they should be stored at room temperature. Placing the patch on the upper arm (choice
C) is incorrect; it should be placed behind the ear. Replacing a dislodged patch onto the same location (choice
D) is incorrect; a new patch should be applied to a different, clean area.
