  • 2. 

     A resident who is excited, restless, or troubled is said to be

    • Agitated

    • Violent

    • Depressed

    Correct Answer
    A. Agitated
    Explanation
    When a resident is described as being excited, restless, or troubled, it suggests that they are experiencing a state of agitation. Agitation refers to a state of restlessness or irritability, often accompanied by excessive movement or emotional distress. This term accurately describes the behavior and emotional state of a resident who is excited, restless, or troubled, making it the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    An intervention means

    • An overreaction caused by something unreasonable.

    • A way to change an action or development.

    • A way to change a routine.

    Correct Answer
    A. A way to change an action or development.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A way to change an action or development." This option best captures the meaning of an intervention. An intervention is an intentional and purposeful action taken to alter or modify an existing course of action or development. It implies an active involvement or interference to bring about a desired change or improvement. The other options, such as an overreaction caused by something unreasonable or a way to change a routine, do not fully encompass the concept of an intervention.

       When we lose our ability to think logically and quickly we are said to have

    • Delirium

    • Perseveration

    • Cognitive Impairment

    Correct Answer
    A. Cognitive Impairment
    Explanation
    Cognitive impairment refers to a decline in cognitive abilities such as thinking, reasoning, memory, and problem-solving skills. When an individual loses their ability to think logically and quickly, it is a clear indication of cognitive impairment. Delirium refers to a state of confusion and disorientation, while perseveration refers to the repetition of a particular response or behavior. Therefore, cognitive impairment is the most appropriate term to describe the given situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

      If your resident perseverates, try to stop them as quick as possible.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that if a resident perseverates, it is important to stop them as quickly as possible. However, this is not necessarily true. Perseveration is a symptom commonly seen in individuals with certain neurological conditions, such as dementia or autism, and it refers to the repetition of words, phrases, or actions. While it may be necessary to redirect or provide support to a perseverating individual, abruptly stopping them may cause distress or agitation. Therefore, it is important to use a compassionate and understanding approach when dealing with perseveration.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

     Alzheimer's Deisease is irreversible.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Alzheimer's Disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain, leading to the death of brain cells and cognitive decline. While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer's Disease, there are treatments and interventions available that can help manage symptoms and slow down its progression. Therefore, Alzheimer's Disease is not completely irreversible, and there are ways to improve the quality of life for individuals with this condition.
