Orthostatic hypotension refers to a drop in blood pressure that occurs when a person changes their position, such as standing up from a sitting or lying down position. This change in position causes a temporary decrease in blood flow to the brain, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and even fainting. Therefore, the correct answer is "Position" because it accurately describes the cause of orthostatic hypotension.Rate this question:

Why is it important to use circular-like motion when rubbing on lotion?
- A.
To Make the resident feel good
- B.
To promote circulation
- C.
To increase the lotions temperature
Correct Answer
B. To promote circulationExplanation
Rubbing lotion in a circular-like motion helps to promote circulation. Circular motions create a gentle massage effect on the skin, stimulating blood flow to the area. This increased circulation can have several benefits, such as improving the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells, aiding in the removal of waste products, and promoting overall skin health. By promoting circulation, the circular motion technique can enhance the effectiveness of the lotion and contribute to a healthier and more nourished skin.Rate this question:

The Most Accurate Route for Temperature is _________?
- A.
Tympanic
- B.
Rectal
- C.
Oral
- D.
Axillary
Correct Answer
B. RectalExplanation
Rectal temperature measurement is considered the most accurate route for obtaining body temperature. This is because the rectum is close to the core of the body, providing a more accurate reflection of internal temperature. Tympanic (ear) temperature measurements can be influenced by external factors such as earwax or ear infections. Oral temperature measurements can be affected by drinking, eating, or breathing through the mouth. Axillary (armpit) temperature measurements are less accurate as they can be influenced by external temperature and clothing. Therefore, rectal temperature measurement is the most reliable method for accurately determining body temperature.Rate this question:

You should record food intakes in _______ .
- A.
Percentages
- B.
CCs
- C.
Ounces
- D.
Liquid Form
Correct Answer
A. PercentagesExplanation
Food intakes should be recorded in percentages because it allows for a standardized and consistent measurement of the amount of food consumed. Percentages provide a relative comparison of the proportion of each food item in relation to the total intake, making it easier to track and analyze dietary patterns. This method is particularly useful for individuals who are monitoring their nutrient intake or following specific dietary guidelines. CCs, ounces, and liquid form are not appropriate units of measurement for recording food intakes as they do not provide a clear indication of the proportion or composition of the food consumed.Rate this question:

A breakdown of skin tissues that occurs when blood flow is interrupted is called a _________ .
Correct Answer
Pressure Sore
Pressure SoresExplanation
When blood flow is interrupted, it can lead to a breakdown of skin tissues, which is commonly known as a pressure sore or pressure sores. This condition occurs when prolonged pressure is applied to a specific area of the skin, causing damage to the underlying tissues. Pressure sores are most commonly seen in individuals who are bedridden or have limited mobility, as they are unable to change positions frequently, leading to constant pressure on certain areas of the body. Proper care and prevention techniques, such as regular repositioning and maintaining good hygiene, are essential to avoid the development of pressure sores.Rate this question:
