Question:

One of your patients is pacing around, yelling and screaming, and even blurting out profanities. The FIRST action that a nursing assistant should take in this kind of situation is ______________.

A Call the supervising nurse for assistance and direction.
explanation

Calling your charge nurse would be the best thing to do in this kind of situation. The nurse may have to medicate your resident to calm him down or even call another member of the medical team to assist with the situation.  The other options given could aggravate the resident and trying to restrain the resident may actually put the nursing assistant in harms way if the resident tries to resist.

There are definitely a few mistakes in this app, some of the answers are just plain wrong so make sure this is not your only source of study material. Other than that this app is very helpful.

I would love to give this app 5 stars but in the Nursing Skills section it does not allow you to go on to part 7. After you get to part 6 it either just never loads or it tells you to go to part 7 and does absolutely nothing.
