Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Orthostatic  Hypotension is Blood pressure lowered due to change of ____________ .

    Explanation
    Orthostatic hypotension refers to a drop in blood pressure that occurs when a person changes their position, typically from lying down to standing up. This change in position causes blood to pool in the lower extremities, leading to a temporary decrease in blood flow to the brain. As a result, the body compensates by lowering blood pressure, which can cause symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and even fainting. Therefore, the correct answer is "position."

    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 circulation
    Explanation
    Rubbing lotion in a circular-like motion helps to promote circulation. Circular motions create a gentle massage effect on the skin, stimulating blood flow and improving circulation. This increased circulation can help to nourish the skin, deliver oxygen and nutrients, and remove waste products. By promoting circulation, the lotion can be more effectively absorbed into the skin, providing hydration and nourishment.

  • 16. 

    Pretending to check a residents pulse is the most effective way to record a residents respiration range.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Pretending to check a resident's pulse is not a valid or effective method to record their respiration range. Respiration and pulse are two separate physiological processes, and checking the pulse does not provide accurate information about respiration. To measure respiration range, one should directly observe and count the number of breaths a resident takes within a specific time period. Therefore, the given answer is incorrect.
