All of the above options encourage independence with activities of daily living. Adequate lighting helps individuals see and navigate their surroundings, reducing the risk of accidents and promoting independence. Putting items within easy reach allows individuals to access and use them without assistance, promoting self-reliance. Praising the resident boosts their self-confidence and motivation, encouraging them to perform tasks independently.

Correct Answer

A. Activities of Daily Living

Explanation

ADL stands for Activities of Daily Living. This term refers to the basic tasks that individuals typically perform on a daily basis in order to take care of themselves and maintain their independence. These activities include tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, transferring (e.g. getting in and out of bed), and continence. ADLs are often used as a measure of an individual's functional status and can be important indicators of their overall health and ability to live independently.

- Independent
- Stand by assist
- Total assist
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Stand by assist

Explanation

A resident who needs the grooming items set out and partial performance of the task by the caregiver is considered "Stand by assist". This means that the resident requires some assistance and supervision from the caregiver, but is able to perform most of the task independently. The caregiver is there to provide support and ensure the resident's safety, but does not need to actively participate in the task.

When assisting a resident to transfer, you should:
- Bend at the waist
- Bend at the knees
- Always use a mechanical lift
- Always get assistance from a second caregiver
Correct Answer

A. Bend at the knees

Explanation

When assisting a resident to transfer, it is important to bend at the knees. This is because bending at the knees helps to maintain a stable and balanced position, reducing the risk of strain or injury to the caregiver's back. By bending at the knees, the caregiver can use the strength of their leg muscles to support the weight of the resident, making the transfer safer and more comfortable for both parties involved.

- By the caregiver, then pointed away from the resident allowing him to feel it with his hand
- By the caregiver only
Correct Answer

A. By the caregiver, then pointed away from the resident allowing him to feel it with his hand

Explanation

The water for the shower should be checked by the caregiver first to ensure that it is at a safe temperature. After checking the water, the caregiver should then point it away from the resident, allowing him to feel it with his hand to ensure that it is comfortable for him. This process ensures that the water is safe and suitable for the resident's needs.

Explanation

When washing the resident's face, it is important to prioritize their preferences. Every individual has different skin types and sensitivities, and using what the resident prefers ensures their comfort and avoids any potential skin irritations or dryness. It is essential to respect their choices and provide a personalized and comfortable experience during the washing process.

When assisting the resident to shave with a safety razor, the face should be:
- Dry
- Wet
Correct Answer

A. Wet

Explanation

When assisting a resident to shave with a safety razor, the face should be wet. Wetting the face helps to soften the facial hair and open up the pores, making it easier to shave and reducing the risk of skin irritation or cuts. Additionally, wetting the face helps to create a smooth surface for the razor to glide across, resulting in a closer and more comfortable shave.

If a resident has a weakened arm due to stroke, when dressing you should:
- Put the sleeve on the strong side first
- Put the sleeve on the weak side first
Correct Answer

A. Put the sleeve on the weak side first

Explanation

When dressing a resident with a weakened arm due to stroke, it is important to put the sleeve on the weak side first. This allows the resident to use their stronger arm to assist in dressing the weaker arm. By putting the sleeve on the weak side first, it ensures that the resident is able to fully dress themselves using their stronger arm for support and stability.

Rate this question:

If a resident has a weakened arm due to stroke, when undressing you should:
- Take off the strong side first
- Take off the weak side first
Correct Answer

A. Take off the strong side first

Explanation

When undressing a resident with a weakened arm due to stroke, it is recommended to take off the strong side first. This is because the strong arm can provide support and stability while removing clothing from the weak side. By removing the clothing from the strong side first, it ensures that the resident maintains balance and reduces the risk of injury or discomfort.

- Wipe from the back to the front
- Wipe from the front to the back

Explanation

When cleaning the resident's genital area, it is important to wipe from the front to the back. This is because wiping from the back to the front can introduce bacteria from the anal area to the urinary tract, which can lead to urinary tract infections. Wiping from the front to the back helps to prevent the spread of bacteria and maintain proper hygiene.
