Sample DEAS Aide-Soignant Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the DEAS Aide-Soignant exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 10+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1During morning care, a person can wash their face and upper body but needs help with their back and legs. Which approach best reflects DEAS competency block 1?
A.Let the person complete the parts they can manage, then assist with the remaining areas
B.Complete the whole wash to keep the routine consistent
C.Ask a relative to perform all hygiene care
D.Postpone the wash until the person can do every step alone
Explanation: The aide-soignant assesses and uses the person's remaining abilities while providing only the help required. This preserves autonomy, dignity, and participation in daily life.
2Before helping a person transfer from bed to chair, what should the aide-soignant do first?
A.Select the fastest technique used on the previous shift
B.Assess the person's abilities and risks, explain the transfer, and prepare suitable equipment
C.Ask the person to stand before checking the chair position
D.Use a mechanical hoist for every transfer
Explanation: A safe transfer begins with an individualized assessment, communication, and preparation of the environment and equipment. The technique must match the person's abilities and the care plan.
3While helping with breakfast, the aide-soignant observes new coughing after each sip and a wet-sounding voice. What is the best response?
A.Offer a straw to speed swallowing
B.Record the observation at the end of the week
C.Stop intake, keep the person safely positioned, and promptly alert the infirmier
D.Change the prescribed texture without informing the team
Explanation: Coughing and a wet voice during intake can indicate a swallowing problem and aspiration risk. The aide-soignant should stop the activity, maintain safety, and communicate the new clinical signs promptly.
4Which entry is the most appropriate factual transmission after measuring a person's temperature?
A.The patient is difficult today
B.The patient probably has an infection
C.Everything seems normal
D.Temperature 38.2 °C at 14:10; person reports chills; infirmier notified
Explanation: A useful transmission states the measured data, time, reported symptom, and action taken. It avoids judgment and does not turn an observation into an unauthorized diagnosis.
5A person refuses a non-urgent hygiene activity after receiving a clear explanation. What should the aide-soignant do?
A.Proceed because hygiene is always compulsory
B.Respect the refusal, explore concerns without pressure, and inform the team
C.Ask another worker to perform the activity without mentioning the refusal
D.Document consent because the care was scheduled
Explanation: Consent remains relevant to everyday care, and a capable person's refusal must be respected. The aide-soignant should seek understanding, maintain the relationship, and transmit the refusal so the plan can be reconsidered.
6A relative asks for detailed information about a competent adult's health, but the adult has not agreed to disclosure. What is the appropriate response?
A.Provide the information because relatives are part of the family
B.Confirm only the diagnosis but not the treatment
C.Protect confidentiality and refer the request through the authorized care process
D.Give information if the relative promises not to repeat it
Explanation: Professional secrecy and the person's choices govern disclosure. Family status or a promise of discretion does not by itself authorize the aide-soignant to share health information.
7When should standard precautions be applied?
A.Only after laboratory confirmation of infection
B.Only in rooms displaying an isolation sign
C.Only when the worker knows the person's diagnosis
D.For every person, with measures selected according to the anticipated exposure
Explanation: Standard precautions are the baseline for all care situations. Hand hygiene, protective equipment, and sharps or waste measures are chosen from the exposure risk, not from a confirmed diagnosis alone.
8During environmental cleaning, which principle best prevents transfer of contamination?
A.Use one cloth for the whole room to reduce waste
B.Work from cleaner areas toward dirtier areas and change material according to protocol
C.Begin with the visibly dirtiest surface, then clean the care trolley
D.Mix products to broaden their activity
Explanation: Cleaning progresses from cleaner to dirtier zones with material managed under the local protocol. This limits redistribution of microorganisms and avoids unsafe chemical mixtures.
9An aide-soignant notices that a planned activity now exceeds their competence because the person's condition has changed. What best demonstrates safe team practice?
A.Pause the activity, secure the person, and seek assessment from the appropriate professional
B.Continue because the activity appeared in the morning plan
C.Ask an untrained visitor to assist
D.Omit the problem from the record if no harm has occurred
Explanation: Scope and delegation depend on the current situation, not merely on an earlier plan. Recognizing a change, preventing harm, and escalating it are core teamwork and risk-management behaviors.
10Why should an aide-soignant report a near miss even when the person was not harmed?
A.To assign blame before facts are reviewed
B.To replace the person's clinical record
C.To identify contributing factors and prevent recurrence
D.To prove that the planned procedure was unnecessary
Explanation: Near-miss reporting supports collective learning and improvement before harm occurs. It complements factual clinical documentation and should focus on systems and prevention rather than blame.
