    How does knowing a resident's previous coping michanisms in life help us as caregivers?

    • It helps us to decide what medications are best for the resident

    • It helps us know what can make a resident feel better

    • It does not help us; the resident is older now

    Correct Answer
    A. It helps us know what can make a resident feel better
    Explanation
    Knowing a resident's previous coping mechanisms in life helps caregivers because it allows them to understand what strategies or activities have been effective in helping the resident feel better in the past. This knowledge can guide caregivers in providing appropriate support and interventions that align with the resident's preferred coping methods, increasing the chances of improving their well-being and overall satisfaction. By recognizing and utilizing these effective coping mechanisms, caregivers can create a more personalized and tailored approach to care, enhancing the resident's quality of life.

    • Keeping other residents from walking in his room without permission

    • Keeping your promises

    • Monitoring the resident for care needs

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the options listed can help a resident feel safe and secure. By keeping other residents from walking into their room without permission, their privacy and personal space are respected, creating a sense of security. Keeping promises is important as it builds trust and reliability, making the resident feel safe in their environment. Monitoring the resident for care needs ensures their physical well-being and provides reassurance that their needs are being met. Therefore, all of the options contribute to a resident's sense of safety and security.

    What should you do if you suspect your resident is depressed?

    • Suggest the family purchase some herbal remedies

    • Tell the resident it will get better; just act happy

    • Report changes immediately to your supervisor

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Report changes immediately to your supervisor
    Explanation
    If you suspect your resident is depressed, it is important to report any changes immediately to your supervisor. This is because your supervisor can take appropriate action and provide necessary support for the resident. Herbal remedies may not be effective or suitable for everyone, and it is not your role to suggest them. Telling the resident to just act happy is not helpful and may invalidate their feelings. Therefore, reporting to your supervisor is the most appropriate course of action in this situation.

    • Giving the resident his medication

    • Giving the resident plenty of "alone time" so he can relax

    • All of the above

    • B, c, d

    Correct Answer
    A. Helping the resident form meaningful relationships by pointing out what he has in common with other residents
    Explanation
    By helping the resident form meaningful relationships by pointing out what he has in common with other residents, it promotes bonding. This is because finding common interests or experiences can create a sense of connection and understanding between individuals. It allows them to relate to each other and form deeper relationships, which can contribute to a sense of belonging and community within the residential setting.

    A resident will have a good sense of esteem if you:

    • Do all of his personal care for him

    • Don't bring up his past work so he does not miss it

    • Review on a monthly basis his increasing need for care

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    A resident will not necessarily have a good sense of esteem if you do all of his personal care for him. While it is important to provide assistance with personal care, it is also crucial to promote independence and allow the resident to maintain a sense of dignity. Similarly, not bringing up his past work may not necessarily contribute to a good sense of esteem as the resident may still miss it and appreciate opportunities to reminisce. Reviewing his increasing need for care on a monthly basis is important for proper care planning but does not directly relate to his sense of esteem. Therefore, none of the above options can guarantee a good sense of esteem for the resident.
