2.01 Prototype Assessment Items

Note: These items illustrate the types of items used in the item bank for this objective. All items have been written to match the cognitive process of the understand verb in the objective. Questions require students to interpret, summarize or explain safety

procedures. These exact questions will not be used on the secured test, but questions in similar formats will be used.

These assessment items may be used as prototypes by teachers and students to generate similar items to comprise formative assessments for you classroom. This strategy is especially helpful during the field test year when classroom item banks are not available. Results of formative assessment should be used to diagnose levels of mastery, determine if re-teaching is needed, and guide further instruction.

1. The healthcare professional is careful to lift with large muscles and stand with feet 8-12 inches apart. This is an effective use of:

a. body mechanics.

b. general safety guidelines. c. patient safety.

d. the ergonomics program. Answer: D

2. Which action indicates that the healthcare professional has a good understanding of safety guidelines?

a. Leaves siderail down on patient’s bed b. Reports unsafe situation

c. Runs in the hallway

d. Uses Clorox for patient cleansing Answer: B

3. Which action by the healthcare professional indicates that they adhere to environmental safety guidelines?

a. Accumulates trash until the end to the shift
