Reporting to a supervisor ensures that the issue is brought to the attention of someone who has the authority to take appropriate action. This step is crucial in order to protect the victim, prevent further abuse, and address the situation in a timely manner. Confronting the abuser directly may not be safe or effective, and waiting for abuse to resolve on its own or calling the police without informing a supervisor may result in a lack of proper investigation and intervention.

    Immobilized residents must be turned a minimum of once every

    • 2 hours

    • 3 hours

    • 3 1/2 hours

    • 4 hours

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 hours
    Explanation
    Residents who are immobilized, such as those who are bedridden or have limited mobility, need to be turned regularly to prevent the development of pressure ulcers or bedsores. The longer a person remains in one position, the higher the risk of these painful and potentially serious skin injuries. Turning the residents every 2 hours ensures that pressure is relieved from specific areas of the body, allowing blood flow to return and reducing the risk of bedsores. This frequent turning schedule is recommended to maintain the residents' skin integrity and overall well-being.

Holding the infant close to her breast helps establish a proper latch and ensures the baby is in a comfortable position for feeding. Stimulating the rooting reflex by gently stroking the baby's cheek or lips encourages them to open their mouth and latch onto the breast. Therefore, all of these actions are important for successful and safe breastfeeding.

    Explanation
    Brushing is important to keep the hair soft, shiny, and clean. Regular brushing helps remove dirt, dust, and dead skin cells from the hair, making it clean and preventing the buildup of oils and residues. Brushing also stimulates the scalp, promoting blood circulation and distributing natural oils throughout the hair, which helps in keeping it soft and shiny. Additionally, brushing can help prevent pediculosis, which is the infestation of lice in the hair, as it helps in detecting and removing any lice or nits present. Therefore, all of the given options are correct, as brushing serves all these purposes.

    Explanation
    During menopause, hormonal changes in a woman's body can lead to various symptoms. Mood swings can occur due to fluctuating hormone levels, causing emotional instability. Hot flashes, characterized by sudden feelings of intense heat and sweating, are also common during menopause.

    You are caring for Mr. Clark, you are feeling frustrated by his slow progress. You should

    • Tell him that you are frustrated

    • Be firm and tell him that he must work harder

    • Discuss your feelings with the supervisor

    • Ask a co-worker to care for Mr Clark

    Correct Answer
    A. Discuss your feelings with the supervisor
    Explanation
    When caring for a patient like Mr. Clark, it is important to maintain professionalism and seek support when feeling frustrated. Telling him that you are frustrated may not be helpful and could potentially harm the patient's well-being. Being firm and telling him to work harder may also not be appropriate as it could create a negative environment. Instead, discussing your feelings with the supervisor allows for open communication and the possibility of finding solutions or getting guidance on how to handle the situation better. Asking a co-worker to care for Mr. Clark may not address the underlying issue of frustration and may not be fair to the co-worker.

    • An occupational nurse

    • A registered nurse

    • A ward clerk

    • A personal support worker

    Correct Answer
    A. A personal support worker
    Explanation
    A personal support worker is a type of supportive care worker who assists clients with their activities of daily living (A.D.L.s). They provide support and help clients with tasks such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and mobility. Unlike an occupational nurse or a registered nurse, a personal support worker does not have the same level of medical training and is focused on providing personal care and support to clients. A ward clerk, on the other hand, is responsible for administrative tasks in a hospital ward and does not directly assist clients with their A.D.L.s.

    Correct Answer
    A. Two caregivers must be present

The presence of two caregivers helps in maintaining the stability and balance of the lift, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries to both the client and the caregiver. It also allows for better coordination and communication between the caregivers, ensuring a smooth and safe lifting process.

Headache is another common symptom that can occur due to the toxins produced by the bacteria or viruses responsible for food poisoning. These symptoms are often accompanied by other signs such as diarrhea, fever, and body aches. However, constipation, joint pain, and edematous feet are not typically associated with food poisoning, making them incorrect choices.

    When preparing a meal for a client with a wheat allergy, toast and butter should be avoided because toast is typically made from wheat bread and butter may contain traces of wheat or be cross-contaminated. The other options, ham and bean soup, eggs and bacon, and cottage cheese and peaches, do not contain wheat and are safe to serve to a client with a wheat allergy.

    • Refuse care and treatments

    Correct Answer
    A. Refuse care and treatments

    Clients living in a long-term care facility have the right to refuse care and treatments. This means that they have the autonomy to make decisions regarding their own healthcare and can choose to decline any care or treatment offered to them. This right is important as it respects the individual's right to make choices about their own body and healthcare, even if it goes against the recommendations or policies of the facility.

    Light housekeeping typically refers to the tasks involved in maintaining a clean and organized living space. This can include laundry, cleaning the toilet, vacuuming, and dusting. However, mowing the lawn is not typically considered a part of light housekeeping as it involves outdoor maintenance rather than indoor cleaning. Therefore, the correct answer is mowing the lawn.

    A. Oxygen and water
    Explanation
    The human body requires oxygen and water for survival. Oxygen is essential for the process of respiration, where it is used by cells to produce energy. Without oxygen, the body's cells would not be able to function properly. Water is also crucial for the body as it helps in maintaining temperature, transporting nutrients and waste, lubricating joints, and facilitating various other bodily functions. While sunshine and vitamin D, vitamins and minerals, and love and understanding are important for overall well-being, they are not the most vital physical needs for survival.

    Correct Answer
    A. Prevent dizziness or fainting
    Explanation
    The main reason for helping Mr. Searles sit on the side of the bed and dangle his feet for a few minutes before getting up is to prevent dizziness or fainting. This is a common practice to allow the body to adjust to the change in position gradually, especially if someone has been in bed for several days. By sitting up slowly and allowing blood flow to stabilize, it reduces the risk of feeling lightheaded or fainting when standing up.

Close family members, such as spouses, parents, siblings, or other relatives, may exert power and control over their loved ones, leading to abusive behavior.

    Explanation
    When holding a newborn infant, it is important to hold them securely to ensure their safety and prevent any accidental falls or injuries.

This is because voiding refers to the act of emptying the bladder, and if a resident needs assistance with this, it is important to prioritize their needs to prevent discomfort or potential health issues associated with holding urine for too long. Assisting with voiding can also help maintain the resident's dignity and overall well-being.

    Which one of the following would spread disease by droplet infection?

    • Poor hand washing technique

    • Improperly sterilized instruments

    • Coughing or sneezing

    • Contaminated food and water

    Correct Answer
    A. Coughing or sneezing
    Explanation
    Coughing or sneezing can spread disease by droplet infection because when a person coughs or sneezes, tiny droplets containing infectious agents such as bacteria or viruses are released into the air. These droplets can be inhaled by others nearby, leading to the transmission of the disease. Poor hand washing technique, improperly sterilized instruments, and contaminated food and water can also contribute to the spread of disease, but they do not specifically involve droplet infection.

    Bending a body part refers to

    • Flexion

    • Rotation

    • Adduction

    • Abduction

    Correct Answer

    Clear liquid diets include

    • Milk, coffee, orange juice

    • Broth, milk, tea

    • Only liquid you can see through

    • Milk and orange juice only

    Correct Answer
    A. Only liquid you can see through
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "only liquid you can see through." This is because a clear liquid diet consists of fluids that are transparent and do not contain any solid particles. Milk and orange juice are not considered clear liquids as they are opaque and contain some pulp or particles. Coffee, tea, and broth may also not be considered clear liquids depending on their clarity. Therefore, the only option that accurately describes a clear liquid diet is "only liquid you can see through."
