Safety and Emergencies practice questions
Falls, the call light, fire response and what to report — kept to what the exam asks.
Safety covers the things that keep a resident and an assistant out of danger: preventing falls, keeping the call light within reach, fire response, and knowing what to do when something unexpected happens. The written exam asks about these as rules and responsibilities. Fall prevention, for example, is about keeping the resident's path clear and the call light within reach, and about telling the nurse when a resident is unsteady. Fire response is about the order of actions — the exam expects the assistant to know the priority, not to improvise. A real emergency follows the facility's protocol and the direction of the nurse in charge; this site does not teach anyone to act in one. The questions in this domain test the concepts most often examined, each written for this site, with the full explanation free. They are framed as exam questions about reporting and escalation, never as instructions for a situation the reader might face.

What this topic covers
These are the concepts behind the questions in this bank.
The 23 questions above cover the concepts this topic is organised around. Answer each one, read the full explanation, and note what you missed. The result groups nothing into a score — it counts what you got right by topic, which is all an uncalibrated question bank can truthfully tell anyone.
Where these eight topics come from. They are this site's own organisation of the material, chosen so that related questions sit together. They are not the official content areas of any state's written exam, and no mapping between the two is claimed here — that mapping has not been verified against the published candidate handbooks, so it is not stated. Your state's handbook is the authority on how its exam is divided and weighted; how to find yours is set out separately.
