HESI PN Exit Proctored Exam
The practical nurse (PN) observes unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) bathing a bedfast client with the bed in a high position. Which action should the PN take?
Explanation & Rationale
Instruct the UAP to lower the bed for safety. This is the best action for the PN to take because it ensures the client's safety and prevents potential falls or injuries. The PN should also educate the UAP on the importance of lowering the bed when providing care to a bedfast client. A. Assuming care of the client immediately is not necessary and may undermine the UAP's confidence and competence. B. Remaining in the room to supervise the UAP is not appropriate and may interfere with the client's privacy and dignity. D. Determining if the UAP would like assistance is not a priority and may not address the safety issue.
