1What is the primary role of a General Duty Assistant (GDA) Trainee in a hospital ward?
A.Set hospital billing rates for each admission
B.Perform major surgery when the surgeon is unavailable
C.Independently diagnose illnesses and prescribe medicines
D.Provide assistant-level patient support under nurse and doctor direction
Explanation: A General Duty Assistant Trainee supports basic patient care, comfort, hygiene, mobility, and unit readiness while working under the direction of nurses and doctors. Diagnosis, prescribing, and invasive procedures are outside GDA scope.
2Which activity is typically within the GDA Trainee's scope under supervision?
A.Ordering controlled drugs from the pharmacy
B.Starting an intravenous line without orders
C.Assisting with bathing, oral care, feeding support, and safe positioning
D.Writing the final medical diagnosis on the discharge summary
Explanation: GDA duties commonly include personal hygiene assistance, feeding support, positioning, and comfort care as directed. Invasive procedures, diagnosis, and independent drug ordering are outside trainee scope.
3Why should a GDA explain each care step before assisting a conscious patient?
A.To reduce anxiety, gain cooperation, and respect patient dignity
B.To delay care until the shift ends
C.To avoid documenting anything in the chart
D.Because explanations replace the need for hand hygiene
Explanation: Clear explanation supports informed cooperation, reduces fear, and upholds dignity. Communication does not replace infection-control or documentation duties.
4When helping a patient with oral care, the GDA should primarily:
A.Share the same toothbrush among roommates to save cost
B.Skip oral care for unconscious patients without asking the nurse
C.Use gentle technique, protect airway risk, and report unusual bleeding or sores
D.Force the mouth open if the patient refuses
Explanation: Oral care prevents infection and discomfort. Technique must protect the airway, respect refusal when appropriate, and escalate mouth sores, bleeding, or distress to nursing staff.
5Assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs) most clearly includes:
A.Interpreting CT scans for the radiology team
B.Changing the patient's legal name in hospital records
C.Bathing, dressing, toileting support, mobility help, and feeding assistance as needed
D.Performing unsupervised general anaesthesia
Explanation: ADLs are everyday self-care tasks. GDAs support these under the care plan. Imaging interpretation, anaesthesia, and legal identity changes are outside scope.
6Which principle best guides patient positioning in bed?
A.Leave the patient in one position for the entire shift to avoid work
B.Use ordered positions, support alignment, relieve pressure points, and recheck comfort
C.Always place every patient in the prone position overnight
D.Remove all pillows permanently to flatten the mattress
Explanation: Safe positioning follows clinical orders, maintains body alignment, reduces pressure-injury risk, and is reassessed for comfort and breathing.
7Fowler's position is most commonly described as the patient:
A.Standing upright beside the bed without support
B.Lying on the left side only with knees straight
C.Sitting or semi-sitting with the head of the bed elevated
D.Lying completely flat on the abdomen
Explanation: Fowler's (and semi-Fowler's) positions elevate the head of the bed and are often used to ease breathing and for comfort during feeding or observation, as ordered.
8When a call bell rings, the best immediate GDA response is to:
A.Turn off the bell without checking the patient
B.Ignore it if you are charting non-urgent notes
C.Respond promptly, identify needs, assist within scope, and escalate urgent concerns
D.Tell the patient to wait until the next shift handover only
Explanation: Prompt call-bell response is a core safety and customer-care duty. Urgent symptoms must be escalated to nursing staff immediately.
9Intake and output (I&O) awareness for a GDA primarily means:
A.Calculating chemotherapy doses
B.Ignoring fluid restrictions set by the clinician
C.Deciding to stop IV fluids without orders
D.Noting fluids taken and urine/output as directed and reporting unusual findings
Explanation: GDAs may help measure or record oral intake and output under supervision and must report oliguria, large losses, or non-compliance with fluid plans. They do not independently manage IV therapy.
10For an elderly hospital patient with reduced mobility, which GDA action is most appropriate?
A.Encourage long unsupported walks in wet corridors alone
B.Keep bed rails down and lights off at all times for privacy only
C.Withhold all oral fluids permanently without discussion
D.Assist with safe mobility, offer frequent position changes, and watch for confusion or skin changes
Explanation: Elderly care emphasises fall prevention, pressure-injury prevention, hydration/nutrition support as ordered, and reporting cognitive or skin changes.
