    When giving mouth care to an unconscious resident, positioning the resident with the head turned to the side is important for safety. This position helps prevent choking or aspiration of fluids or debris into the airway. It allows any excess saliva or oral care products to drain out of the mouth instead of going down the throat. Additionally, it helps maintain an open airway by preventing the tongue from obstructing the air passage.

    Osteoporosis is the correct answer because it is a medical condition characterized by weak and brittle bones. It occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. This condition is more common in older individuals, particularly women after menopause.

    Normal hearing loss in aging is usually related to the ability to hear

    • High ptiched sounds

    • Loud sounds

    • All sounds

    • Rapid speech

    Correct Answer
    A. High ptiched sounds
    Explanation
    As individuals age, the structures in the inner ear responsible for detecting high-pitched sounds tend to deteriorate. This leads to difficulty in hearing and perceiving these specific frequencies, resulting in normal hearing loss in aging. It is important to note that this type of hearing loss does not affect the ability to hear all sounds or loud sounds, but specifically impacts the perception of high-pitched sounds. Rapid speech, on the other hand, may be affected by other factors such as cognitive decline or processing speed, but it is not directly related to normal age-related hearing loss.

    Explanation
    Lack of movement can lead to the wasting or shrinking of muscle tissue, which is known as atrophy. When muscles are not used or exercised regularly, they can become weaker and smaller in size. This can occur due to various reasons such as immobilization, prolonged bed rest, or lack of physical activity. Atrophy can have negative effects on muscle strength and overall physical function.

    • Bronchi and alveoli

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the above options are correct because they all play a role in maintaining a sufficient intake of air. The mouth and nasopharynx are responsible for the initial entry of air into the body. The trachea and larynx help in directing the air towards the lungs. Finally, the bronchi and alveoli are involved in the gas exchange process, where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is expelled. Therefore, all of these body parts are necessary for the intake and distribution of air in the respiratory system.

    Correct Answer
    A. Prevent the spread of germs
    Explanation
    Laundering a nursing uniform after each day's wearing helps prevent the spread of germs. As nurses come into contact with various patients and potentially infectious materials, their uniforms can become contaminated with bacteria and other pathogens. Washing the uniform removes these germs, reducing the risk of spreading infections to other patients or healthcare workers. While looking professional and neat are important aspects of wearing a nursing uniform, the primary reason for laundering it daily is to maintain a hygienic and safe healthcare environment.

By restraining the individual, the likelihood of falls, self-harm, or harm to others is reduced. Restraints are typically used as a last resort when other interventions have been unsuccessful in ensuring safety.

The contracted arm restricts their ability to independently dress themselves, requiring assistance or adaptive equipment to overcome this difficulty.

    • Using lots of suds

    Correct Answer

    Washing with soap and rinsing well is an effective technique to keep the resident's skin clean and healthy. Soap helps to remove dirt, oils, and bacteria from the skin, while rinsing well ensures that all the soap residue is washed away. This helps to maintain the natural balance of the skin and prevent any irritation or dryness. Using perfumed lotion and powders may actually cause skin allergies or irritations, so it is not recommended. Similarly, using cold, clear water and lots of suds may not necessarily provide the same level of cleanliness and may not effectively remove all the dirt and bacteria from the skin.
