KNOW WHAT
QUIPMENT TO PREPARE
AT THE BEDSIDE
In foreign nursing exams, some of the most frequently asked questions are those
that require the nurse to anticipate the type of equipment that needs to be at the
patients bedside. Consider the example below
In a patient with Sengstaken Blakemore tube, which of the following equipment
should the nurse keep at the bedside?
A. Wirecutter
B. Torniquet
C. Clamp
D. Scissors
Amputation
Torniquet

ACILITATE PROPER
POSITIONING OF YOUR
PATIENT!
In order for you to be able to position your patient appropriately, the first thing that
you should do is to ask yourself: What position will I use? Will it aggravate or
lessen the condition? And what is the purpose of the position? Will it
promote something or will it prevent something?
Lets have an example
Immediately after a supratentorial craniotomy, in what position should the patient be
placed?
A. Side-lying
C. Semi-Fowlers
B. Supine
D. Trendelenburg
After craniotomy, the usual goal of care is to prevent the accumulation of fluid at
the surgical site. It is therefore essential for you to promote venous drainage and
this is best accomplished by placing the patient in the Semi-fowlers position. The
answer therefore is letter (C).
