A nurse is caring for a female client with diarrhea. What instruction should the nurse give the
client with regard to perineal hygiene?
A) Wash hands with cold water after visiting the toilet.
B) Wash the perineal area with cold water.
C) Clean the perineal area from the front to back.
D) Bathe with a mild soap and water. Correct Answer: C
The nurse should instruct the client to clean the perineal area from the front to back toward the
rectal area to prevent urinary tract infections. Bathing with a mild soap and water are not specific
perineal hygiene instructions, and washing the perineal area with cold water or washing hands
with cold water after visiting the toilet are inappropriate instructions. The nurse should ask the
client to perform thorough handwashing after visiting the toilet, which includes scrubbing the
hands with soap, hot water, and friction.
In order to maintain a health and hygienic integumentary system, a nurse is clipping the
overgrown nails of an older adult client. Which other part should the nurse check to maintain the
hygiene of the client's integumentary system?
A) Eyes
B) Teeth
C) Hair
D) Lenses Correct Answer: C
The nurse should check and care for the client's hair, skin, and mucous membranes when
providing hygiene for the integumentary system of the client. Integuments are structures that
cover body surface and its opening. Teeth, eyes, and lenses are not covered under integumentary
systems.
A 76-year-old client is admitted to the health agency with a stroke. The nurse, while bathing the
client, starts wiping and cleaning the body from feet onward. The client is incapable of assisting
the nurse in the bathing process. Which technique is the nurse using to bathe the client?
A) Tub bath
B) Bed bath
C) Parital bath
D) Towel bath Correct Answer: D
The nurse is using the towel bath technique to clean and bathe the client. Because the client
cannot do anything on their own and cannot assist the nurse, the nurse uses a large towel to cover
and wash the client. The nurse is not giving a bed bath, partial bath, or tub bath to the client
because during a bed bath, the nurse bathes the client with a basin of water at the bedside and the
, client may actively assist with some aspects of bathing. A partial bath means washing only those
body areas subject to greatest soiling or that are sources of body odor, generally the face, hands,
axillae, and perineal area. Partial bathing is done at a sink or with a basin at the bedside. If the
client can work independently, the nurse will suggest the client to have a tub bath.
A client who has been admitted in the health care facility has had surgery and is unconscious.
The nurse needs to take care of the client's hygiene and oral care daily. The client's teeth and lips
show dry crusts when there is a day's gap in the oral hygiene. What can best describe the client's
oral condition?
A) Caries
B) Gingivitis
C) Sordes
D) Periodontal disease Correct Answer: C
The client has sordes, a condition in which the dried crust containing mucus, microorganisms,
and epithelial cells shed from the mucous membrane; the condition is common on the lips and
teeth of unconscious clients. Caries or cavities is a condition that occurs when the combination of
sugar, plaque, and bacteria eventually erode the tooth enamel. Gingivitis is a condition in which
there is inflammation of the gums. Pockets of gum inflammation promote periodontal disease, a
condition that results in the destruction of the tooth-supporting structures and jawbone.
Gingivitis, caries, and periodontal diseases are not specific to unconscious clients.
A nurse is examining an adult client with inflammation of the gums. The nurse observes bleeding
gums. How should the nurse record the findings in the client's medical record?
A) Caries
B) Plaque
C) Gingivitis
D) Tartar Correct Answer: c
The nurse should record the findings as gingivitis. Gingivitis is a condition in which there is
inflammation of the gums. This usually happens when there is improper cleaning of teeth or
injury to the gums from overly vigorous brushing or flossing. Gingivitis is usually associated
with bleeding gums. Caries, plaque, and tartar do not show inflammation of the gums. Cavities
usually occur when there is combination of sugar, plaque, and bacteria in the teeth, which
eventually erode the tooth enamel.
During a regular dental checkup the client expresses concern to the nurse regarding discoloration
of the teeth. Consumption of what food would be the most likely reason for the discoloration of
the client's teeth?
A) Alcohol
B) Juice
C) Sweets
D) Coffee Correct Answer: D
