1. The nurse asks you to obtain a complete set of vital signs for one of the persons to whom you are assigned. Upon measurement, you determine the following: temperature 38.6°C (101.5°F), heart rate 104 beats/min, respiratory rate 22 breaths/min, and blood pressure 90/60 mm Hg. Which of these vital signs are of concern? What subjective data could be stated by the client? What is your first action after collecting these vital signs? 2. You are assisting with a 24-hour urine collection on a client assigned to your care. The client is in the dining room and chooses not to return to his room to collect the specimen; instead he voids in the nearest bathroom. Is it okay to just collect one extra sample and continue the collection? Provide your rationale. 3. You measure the vital signs for Mr. Yazdani, a client you are caring for. His oxygen saturation is 87% on room air. Mr. Yazdani does not appear to be in any distress and denies having any pain or shortness of breath. You see in his previously charted vitals that the saturation was 86%. You have two other clients who require your attention, including one who has been waiting for a shower. What will you do next? 4. As a support worker you have been assigned the duty of caring for an elderly client, Mr. Jones, who is recovering after a knee replacement surgery. You have been hired to give him a bath, provide personal care and to assist him with taking his medications. During your visit, Mr. Jones asks you to administer his pain medications. How will you respond to his request? Provide your rationale. 5. Working for a home care agency, you have been assigned to assist Mr. Peters, with tasks involving his money. As per the care plan, you are required to accompany him while he does personal banking, buy groceries, and pay bills at the bank. Mr. Peters wants you to do his online banking for him too, as his arthritis is so severe that using the keyboard is painful. How do you ensure that you are not overstepping any line and complete all tasks mentioned in the care plan.
