    HESI LPN Exit Exam IV Proctored Exam

    The practical nurse (PN) observes an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) bathing a bedfast client with the bed in the high position. Which action should the PN take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Instructing the UAP to lower the bed for safety is the correct action. The bed should be in a low position to prevent falls and ensure safety during client care activities. B. Determining if the UAP would like assistance is not the most effective immediate action. The priority is to address the safety concern of the bed position rather than offering assistance. C. Remaining in the room to supervise the UAP is less effective than directly addressing the safety issue. The bed should be in the proper position for safe client care. D. Assuming care of the client immediately is not necessary unless there are additional concerns about the client's well-being. The primary action should be to correct the unsafe practice of the bed position.
