Sample DE Infirmier Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the DE Infirmier exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 8+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A patient develops sudden breathlessness during care. What is the nursing student's priority?

A.Assess immediately, call for appropriate help, and initiate measures within competence and protocol

B.Finish routine documentation before reassessing

C.Wait for the next scheduled observations

D.Ask the patient to diagnose the cause

Explanation: An acute change requires rapid assessment, escalation, and safe initial action. Documentation remains important but must not delay response to possible deterioration.

2Which care-plan goal is most useful for evaluating mobility support?

A.The patient will improve soon

B.By tomorrow evening, the patient will transfer to the chair with one-person assistance and no loss of balance

C.Staff will encourage mobility when possible

D.The patient will receive excellent care

Explanation: A useful goal is specific, observable, time-bound, and linked to the patient's needs. It permits the team to evaluate progress and revise interventions.

3A competent patient refuses a proposed treatment after receiving information. Which response is appropriate?

A.Administer it covertly because it was prescribed

B.Ask the family to override the refusal

C.Explore understanding and concerns, explain consequences, notify the responsible clinician, and respect the informed decision

D.Discharge the patient immediately

Explanation: Respect for autonomy requires information, assessment of understanding, and documentation of an informed refusal. The team should address concerns and safety without coercion.

4Two patients require attention: one requests routine analgesia and another has new confusion with low oxygen saturation. What should guide prioritization?

A.Serve the person who asked first regardless of acuity

B.Choose the easiest task

C.Wait until both can be seen together

D.Address the acute threat first while acknowledging and safely arranging the other patient's need

Explanation: Prioritization considers immediate threats, potential deterioration, and continuity for all patients. Acknowledging and arranging the less urgent need prevents it from being lost.

5Before administering a medicine, which reconciliation step is essential?

A.Use the bed number as the patient identifier

B.Compare the order, patient identity, medicine, dose, route, time, relevant observations, and allergies

C.Rely on the packaging color

D.Skip checks when the medicine is familiar

Explanation: Medication safety depends on verifying the prescription and patient-specific factors before administration. Familiarity never substitutes for identity, allergy, dose, and route checks.

6Which teaching method best checks whether a patient can manage a new injection at home?

A.Give a leaflet and assume it was understood

B.Repeat the explanation more loudly

C.Ask the patient to demonstrate the procedure and explain warning signs in their own words

D.Test only the accompanying relative

Explanation: Teach-back and return demonstration reveal whether the patient can apply instructions safely. Education should be adapted, corrected, and reassessed when gaps appear.

7A ward introduces a falls intervention and the monthly fall count decreases. What information is needed before attributing the change to the intervention?

A.Patient-days, case mix, definitions, concurrent changes, and data over a suitable period

B.Whether the result matches one memorable case

C.Only whether staff liked the change

D.The color of the reporting form

Explanation: Quality conclusions require a stable outcome definition, an exposure denominator, context, and enough observations to distinguish effect from variation. Concurrent changes may confound the result.

8What does the September 2026 DEI framework require that an MCQ bank cannot reproduce?

A.Only memorization of isolated facts

B.An English national final test

C.No supervised clinical learning

D.Integrated academic, simulated, and clinical assessment across five competency domains and 180 ECTS

Explanation: The reformed DEI combines university teaching, simulation, autonomous study, and extensive clinical placements. English MCQs reinforce concepts but are not an official translation or substitute for French clinical assessment.
