Question 1

A resident with a hip replacement should be positioned with the operative leg:

Question 2

When measuring and recording intake and output, which of the following is counted as intake?

The CNA is to apply elastic compression stockings (TED hose). The correct time to apply them is:

Accepted Answer

Before the resident gets out of bed in the morning

TED hose are applied before the resident gets up so leg veins are not yet dilated with pooled blood.

Question 4

Answer

Droplet precautions require a surgical mask and gloves to prevent transmission of large respiratory droplets.

Proper technique begins with the face and proceeds from clean to dirty areas to minimize infection risk.
