Hello Justin82 How do I get the test answers after I have completed the 40 question test? Thank you, Tammy

Three The Joint Commission requires a minimum of three patient identifiers when confirming a patients identity. Registrars should only select a patient record only when three identifiers have been confirmed by the patient and/or family.

1. The father s 2. Father s 3. Father 4. Oxford The fathers insurance is primary. The Birthday Rule applies to this case, as the parent whose birthday month is earlies in the year dictates which insurance should be billed as primary.

The correct answer to this question is A. To administer 250 mg of Aminophylline, you would need one 10ml vial. (Each 10ml vial is 25mg/ml. 250mg = 10ml.) This means, that for the toal volume of 500ml, you need 490ml of saline and 10ml of Aminophylline. The patient weighs 110lbs (50kg). To achieve the rate of 0.4mg/kg/hr, the patient needs to receive 20mg of Aminophylline per hour. 250mg of Aminophylline divided by 20mg/hr gives the infusion a total run time of 12.5 hours. 500ml of total volume divided by the 12.5 hour infusion time lets us know that the patient should receive 40ml/hr, or 0.6667ml per minute. Knowing that the IV delivers 60gtts/min, we multiply the ml/min x gtts/min (0.6667 x 60). This gives us the flow rate of 40gtts/min.

1. “phantom limb pain is not explained or predicted by any one theory.” -there are three theories being researched with regard to plp. the peripheral nervous system theory implies that sensations remain as a result of severing peripheral nerves during the amputation. the central nervous system theory states that plp results from a loss of inhibitory signals that are generated through afferent impulses from the amputated limb. the psychological theory helps predict and explain plp in that stress, anxiety, and depression often trigger or worsen an episode of plp. focus: prioritization

1. D) Patency of the airway

Signs and symptoms showing that the patient is suffring from Rotator cuff pathology

The answer to this question is D. This is also known as a superinfection. This type of infection occurs when there is already an earlier infection that has occurred. This is the infection that may appear after treatment with antibiotics. This is harder to treat because this is already immune to the different antibiotics that were used in order to treat the earlier infection. The patient exhibits some of the signs and symptoms that are usually associated with superinfection such as diarrhea. Aside from this, a person who has this condition may experience painful urination and may have some vaginal discharges. A superinfection is obviously harder to treat and would require a series of tests so that the proper treatment can be determined.

Passport Advantage onlyWhen a patient presents Medicare please prompt the question to ask if this is their only insurance or if they have a supplement or replacement plan. A lot of our errors come from them having a Medicare replacement and we have listed Medicare only or as Primary. With Passport Advantage Medicare should not be listed. This can not only cause problems for the patient being responsible for their bill but also hold payment for us. Running eligibility and ECARE will allow us to see additional coverage. The only way to verify Passport Advantage right now is to call.

People who suffered back injuries might have damaged their spinal cord. They need extra care and need to be more extra careful in doing their daily activities. Medical assistants or nurses must be careful in handling their patients who have spinal cord injury. They must help the patient move their body easily transferring the weight to another. This is to avoid the muscles to freeze and numb. It is also advisable to have recreational activities where the patients can participate in activities that they can do to help them feel good about themselves and be satisfied. One should also know the schedule when the patients need to go to the toilet. Above all, one must not belittle patients with spinal cord injury but uplift their self-esteem.

Having the patient involved in identifying themselves and using “two patient identifiers” is very essential in improving the reliability of the patient’s identification process. The use of two identifiers also helps ensure that there is a correct match between the service or treatment and the individual involved. This process will help in eliminating errors and enhance patient intensive care. Patient identifier options include: There names, assigned identification number such as medical record number, Date of a birth, Social Security number, Phone Number, Address, Pictorial print, etc. Patients may keep wondering why their identity is confirmed so often but the Staff members should always explain to them that it is done to ensure the right care is provided to the right patient at the time.
