    • Dying alone

    • Reincarnation

    • The five stages of grief

    • Advance directives

    Correct Answer
    A. Dying alone
    Explanation
    As humans, our fear of dying alone is deeply rooted in our need for connection and companionship. We naturally crave social interaction and support, especially during times of vulnerability and uncertainty like death. The fear of dying alone can stem from various factors, such as the fear of being forgotten or abandoned, the fear of facing death without loved ones by our side, or the fear of not having anyone to comfort us in our final moments. This fear highlights the importance of building and maintaining meaningful relationships throughout our lives to ensure a sense of comfort and support during our final journey.

This means that if the client's heart stops or they stop breathing, healthcare providers will not attempt to revive them using CPR techniques such as chest compressions and rescue breaths. This decision is usually made when the client has a serious illness or condition and wishes to avoid aggressive life-saving measures.

Storing medications in a dry environment helps to prevent moisture and humidity from affecting their potency. Keeping them locked in a cupboard ensures that unauthorized individuals, especially children, cannot access them, reducing the risk of accidental ingestion or misuse. This storage method helps to maintain the effectiveness and integrity of the medication, ensuring it remains safe for use.

    • Pillows are used for support

    • The transfer belt can't be used

    Correct Answer
    A. The client's strong side moves first
    Explanation
    When transferring a client to bed, a chair, or a toilet, it is important for the client's strong side to move first. This is because the strong side is usually more stable and capable of bearing weight. By moving the strong side first, it helps to maintain balance and prevent any potential accidents or falls. Additionally, this technique also allows the client to maintain control and feel more comfortable during the transfer process.

    Rehabilitation is often slower for

    • Toddlers

    • Adolescents

    • Middle age adults

    • Older adults

    Correct Answer
    A. Older adults
    Explanation
    Rehabilitation is often slower for older adults because as people age, their bodies tend to become less resilient and more susceptible to injury or illness. Older adults may have slower healing processes, reduced muscle strength and flexibility, and a higher risk of complications. Additionally, older adults may have multiple chronic conditions or age-related issues that can complicate the rehabilitation process. Therefore, it is not surprising that rehabilitation tends to be slower for this age group compared to toddlers, adolescents, and middle-aged adults.

    • Services for people with a progressive and life-threatening illness that relieve or reduce uncomfortable symptoms

    Correct Answer
    A. Services for people with a progressive and life-threatening illness that relieve or reduce uncomfortable symptoms
    Explanation
    Palliative care refers to the services provided to individuals who have a progressive and life-threatening illness. This type of care focuses on relieving or reducing uncomfortable symptoms associated with the illness, rather than aiming to prolong life. It may involve various techniques such as massage therapy and relaxation techniques to alleviate pain. Therefore, the correct answer is "services for people with a progressive and life-threatening illness that relieve or reduce uncomfortable symptoms."

    People with early stage dementia

    • Usually remain in their homes with support

    • Are totally dependent on others for care

    • Are confine to bed

    • Are usually placed in secured units

    Correct Answer
    A. Usually remain in their homes with support
    Explanation
    People with early stage dementia usually remain in their homes with support because at this stage, they are still capable of performing their daily activities with some assistance. They may require help with tasks such as cooking, cleaning, or managing medications, but they can still live independently. Moving them to a secured unit or confining them to bed is not necessary at this stage as their cognitive decline is not severe enough to warrant such measures. However, as the disease progresses, their care needs may change, and they may eventually require more intensive support or placement in a secured unit.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Support workers are

    • Unregulated health care workers

    • Licensed health care workers

    • Members of a professional college

    • Members of a regulatory body

    Correct Answer
    A. Unregulated health care workers
    Explanation
    Support workers are considered unregulated health care workers because they do not require a specific license or registration to practice their profession. Unlike licensed health care workers, such as doctors or nurses, support workers do not have to meet specific educational or training requirements set by a professional college or regulatory body. However, they still play a crucial role in providing assistance and support to patients in the healthcare system.

    • You are completely responsible for your actions, the RN is not responsible

    • Neither you or the RN are responsible

    Correct Answer
    A. The RN has overall responsibility for your actions, you are also responsible
    Explanation
    When an RN delegates a task to you, it means that they are entrusting you with the responsibility of carrying out that task. However, the RN still maintains overall responsibility for your actions because they are accountable for the care provided to the patient. As the delegated individual, you also share responsibility for your actions in performing the delegated task. This means that both you and the RN are responsible for ensuring that the task is completed safely and effectively.

    Explanation
    The first step to take when Mr. Poulin's hearing aid is not working is to check if it is turned on. This is important because sometimes the hearing aid may accidentally be switched off, causing it to appear as if it is not working. By checking if it is turned on, it helps to eliminate this possibility before moving on to other troubleshooting steps.

    • Abuse only involves violence

    • Woman and men can be abused

    • Only one type of abuse is usually present

    Correct Answer
    A. Woman and men can be abused
    Explanation
    Spousal abuse is not limited to one gender, and both women and men can be victims of abuse. It is important to recognize that abuse can take various forms, such as physical, emotional, psychological, or sexual abuse. Suspected cases of spousal abuse should be reported to the appropriate authorities, which may include the police, to ensure the safety and well-being of the individuals involved. It is incorrect to assume that abuse only involves violence, as it can manifest in different ways. Additionally, it is not true that only one type of abuse is usually present, as multiple forms of abuse can coexist in an abusive relationship.

    Aspiration is a major complication of

    • Hyper alimentation

    • Iv bags

    • Nasogastric or nasointestinal tubes

    • Central venous catheters

    Correct Answer
    A. Nasogastric or nasointestinal tubes
    Explanation
    Nasogastric or nasointestinal tubes can lead to aspiration, which is a major complication. These tubes are inserted through the nose or mouth and into the stomach or intestines to provide nutrition or medication. However, if the tube is not properly placed or if there is a malfunction, it can cause the contents to enter the lungs instead of the digestive system, leading to aspiration. This can result in respiratory problems, pneumonia, and other complications.

    Fingernails are cut with

    • Toenail clippers

    • Scissors

    • A nail file

    Correct Answer
    A. Nail clippers
    Explanation
    Fingernails are typically cut using nail clippers, which are specifically designed for trimming nails. Scissors are not commonly used for cutting nails as they may cause uneven or jagged edges. A nail file is used for shaping and smoothing the edges of the nails, but it is not primarily used for cutting them. Therefore, the most suitable tool for cutting fingernails is nail clippers.

    As death approaches, the last sense to be lost is

    • Sight

    • Taste

    • Smell

    • Hearing

    Correct Answer
    A. Hearing
    Explanation
    As death approaches, the last sense to be lost is hearing. This is because the auditory system is one of the most resilient and can often continue functioning even when other senses have deteriorated. It is believed that the brain prioritizes the preservation of hearing as it plays a crucial role in communication and receiving information from the environment. Even when a person is unconscious or in a coma, they may still be able to perceive sounds and voices, indicating that hearing is the last sense to fade before death.

    A mother has red vaginal discharge the first few days after childbirth. This is

    • Menstrual flow

    • A postpartum complication

    • Lochia

    • From her episiotomy

    Correct Answer
    A. Lochia
    Explanation
    After childbirth, a mother experiences lochia, which is the discharge of blood, mucus, and uterine tissue from the healing uterus. This discharge is a normal part of the postpartum period and can last for several weeks. It is different from menstrual flow because it is not caused by the shedding of the uterine lining, but rather by the healing process of the uterus after childbirth. It is also different from a postpartum complication or discharge from an episiotomy, as those would require medical attention and may have different symptoms.

    Correct Answer
    A. At every diaper change
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "at every diaper change" because it is important to clean and care for the baby's cord and circumcision area regularly to prevent infection. Changing the diaper provides an opportunity to clean the area and ensure it stays dry and hygienic. By doing so at every diaper change, the risk of infection is minimized, promoting the baby's overall health and well-being.

It requires that healthcare services be provided on a universal basis, meaning that all Canadian residents have access to medically necessary hospital and physician services, regardless of their ability to pay. The act also prohibits extra-billing and user fees for insured services, ensuring that healthcare remains accessible to all citizens.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sweat
    Explanation
    Gloves are worn when in contact with blood, body fluids, secretions, and excretions to prevent the transmission of pathogens and maintain hygiene. However, gloves are not typically worn when in contact with sweat as it is not considered a high-risk fluid for transmitting infections. Sweat is mainly composed of water and electrolytes and does not typically contain high concentrations of pathogens. Therefore, gloves are not necessary when handling sweat.

    Support workers are at great risk for

    • Friction and shearing

    • Arm and hand injuries

    • Back injuries

    • Falls

    Correct Answer
    A. Back injuries
    Explanation
    Support workers are at great risk for back injuries due to the nature of their work. They often have to lift and transfer patients, which can put a strain on their backs. Additionally, they may need to maintain awkward positions for extended periods of time while providing care, further increasing the risk of back injuries. The physical demands of the job, combined with the potential lack of proper lifting techniques and equipment, make support workers vulnerable to back injuries.

    • At waist level

    • On the strong side

    • On the weak side

    • On either side

    Correct Answer
    A. On the strong side
    Explanation
    A single-tip cane is used on the strong side because it provides stability and support to the weaker side of the body. By placing the cane on the strong side, it helps to offload weight and reduce strain on the weak side, allowing for better balance and mobility. This positioning also allows the individual to maintain a more natural walking pattern and reduces the risk of falls or injuries.

    Intense fear of bathing or perineal care can be a sign of sexual abuse. This fear may stem from traumatic experiences or associations with the abuse. Victims of sexual abuse may develop aversions to any activities that remind them of their abuse, including bathing or any form of personal care involving their genital area. This fear can manifest as a result of the violation of boundaries and trust, leading to a deep-seated fear and discomfort surrounding these activities.

    • Laundry, dust, mop

    • Dust, mop, laundry

    • Mop, laundry, dust

    • Laundry, mop, dust

    Correct Answer
    A. Laundry, dust, mop
    Explanation
    The correct order is to first do the laundry, then dust the surfaces, and finally mop the floor. This order makes sense as doing the laundry first allows you to have clean clothes to wear while completing the other tasks. Dusting surfaces should be done before mopping to prevent dust from falling onto the freshly cleaned floor. Mopping should be the last task as it may cause the floor to become wet or dirty again, if done before dusting.

    Using paper towels to dry your hands is the correct answer because it is the most hygienic option. Tea towels can harbor bacteria and should be used for drying dishes only. Using one cloth to wash surfaces, dishes, and floors can spread germs and cross-contaminate different areas. Pouring contaminated liquid down the kitchen sink can cause blockages and spread harmful substances. Therefore, using paper towels for drying hands is the best practice to maintain cleanliness and prevent the spread of germs.
