When making a surgical bed with no patient present, at which time is it unnecessary to perform hand hygiene?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Hand hygiene is unnecessary after fanfolding clean sheets (D) if hands remain uncontaminated, as it’s the final step with clean linen. It’s required before starting (A), after ungloving (B), and after handling soiled linen (C), even if not visibly soiled.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Prompt sheets assist reticent (hesitant or reserved) patients in communicating needs or concerns by providing structured cues. Mute patients cannot speak, aggressive patients may not engage, and depression affects mood, not necessarily communication willingness.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Throughout the centuries, stability of the government has been related to the success of the military to protect or extend its domain. As the survival and well-being of soldiers are both critical, nurses provided healthcare to the sick and injured at the battle site, making military demand a significant shaping factor.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Both traditional and complementary therapies can produce adverse effects in some patients, a shared characteristic despite their differing approaches.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Baccalaureate degree nurses are prepared to work in community care, addressing complex clinical situations and applying research, fitting the student’s goal.
