Question 21 • Nursing Assistant - EL3610

A nursing assistant is reviewing the patients he cared for that day. Gineve was found lying on the floor. He asked her if she was okay, and she did not respond. She did reach her hand toward the sound of his voice. Adam collapsed but came to quickly and was able to state his name and the day of the week. Shondra was found unconscious. She did not respond to his voice but did startle when pinched.

Answer
A
Gineve was verbal responsive, Adam was alert, and Shondra was unresponsive.
B
Gineve was verbal responsive, Adam was alert, and Shondra was pain responsive.
C
Gineve was unresponsive, Adam was verbal responsive, and Shondra was pain responsive.
D
Gineve was unresponsive, Adam was verbal responsive, and Shondra was alert.

Explanation

Gineve moved her hand toward the sound of the nursing assistant’s voice, so she responded to a verbal stimulus even though she did not speak. Adam quickly regained consciousness and could state his name and the day, so he was alert. Shondra did not respond to voice but startled when pinched, indicating a response to pain. Therefore, the correct choice is “Gineve was verbal responsive, Adam was alert, and Shondra was pain responsive.”
