Question:
What should the nurse aid do when she is told that one of her patients has been ordered NPO after midnight?
A
Take away water pitcher at midnight
explanation
NPO is a common medical term that means the patient can not eat or drink anything, including water or ice chips. A patient is ordered NPO by a doctor at midnight for situations such as before surgery or certain lab work. The nurse aide can provide mouth care for a customer who is NPO. Placing a “NPO” sign over the customer’s bed and on the customer’s door will remind all staff members not to give the customer anything to eat or drink.

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.
