A nurse at an assisted living facility is preparing an in-service for residents about electrical safety. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Avoid taping electrical cords to the floor.

Disconnect electrical equipment by grasping the plug.

Cover exposed wires with tape before use.

Clean electrical equipment prior to disconnecting

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

To prevent electrical shocks and fires, the nurse should instruct residents to disconnect electrical equipment by grasping the plug, not by pulling on the cord. The nurse should also advise residents to avoid taping electrical cords to the floor, as this can damage the insulation and create a tripping hazard. The nurse should warn residents not to use electrical equipment with exposed wires or frayed cords, and not to cover them with tape, as this can increase the risk of sparks and short circuits. The nurse should remind residents to clean electrical equipment only after disconnecting it from the power source and following the manufacturer's instructions.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Dangling the client's arm over the edge of the bed helps dilate the vein by increasing venous pressure due to gravity. Flexing the arm with the hand open does not affect venous dilation and may cause muscle tension that can impede insertion. Applying a cool compress constricts rather than dilates the vein by causing vasoconstriction. Stroking the skin near the vein may irritate or damage the vein and does not promote dilation.

A. Deliver a series of high-pitched sounds at random intervals. B. Hold an activated tuning fork against the client's mastoid process. C. Whisper a series of words softly into one ear. D. Place an activated tuning fork in the middle of the client's forehead.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Place an activated tuning fork in the middle of the client's forehead. The rationale for this answer is that Weber's test is used to assess for conductive or sensorineural hearing loss by comparing bone conduction in both ears. The nurse places an activated tuning fork in the middle of the client's forehead and asks if the sound is heard equally in both ears or louder in one ear.
