✍️ Sample CAREGIVER Questions & Answers
1. An insulin-dependent client becomes unresponsive. After calling 911, what should you do?
If hypoglycemia is suspected, place small amounts of sugar or glucose gel on gums for absorption through mucous membranes.
2. A client with diabetes asks for a second serving of dessert. What should the caregiver do?
The caregiver should refer to the care plan or contact the supervisor for dietary restrictions before providing unplanned food.
3. Which of the following is classified as an Instrumental Activity of Daily Living (IADL) rather than a basic ADL?
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) are more complex activities that support an independent lifestyle. Managing medications requires cognitive skills like organization and memory. Toileting, eating, and dressing are basic ADLs, which are fundamental self-care tasks.
4. A client has been prescribed compression stockings. When should they ideally be applied?
Compression stockings should be applied first thing in the morning before legs have had time to swell from gravity's effects, ensuring maximum therapeutic benefit.
5. A client shows signs of hypoglycemia. Which symptom would you expect?
Hypoglycemia presents with shakiness, sweating, confusion, rapid heartbeat, and irritability, requiring prompt treatment with fast-acting sugar.
6. What is the safest lifting method for heavy objects?
Squat with bent knees, straight back, and hold the object close. This uses strong leg muscles instead of the vulnerable back.

- A printable Caregiver cheat sheet you can print or save as a PDF.
