Question 1 of 5
2 Which of the following is an example of subjective information?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because "Mrs. Parker says she is dizzy" is subjective information based on her personal perception or feeling. It cannot be objectively measured or verified. In contrast, choices B, C, and D provide objective information that can be quantified or confirmed by observation or measurement, such as temperature, visit, and food intake. This makes them not subjective.
Question 2 of 5
An object can be called clean if
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because cleanliness refers to the absence of pathogens, not just visible dirt. Step by step, A is incorrect because cleanliness is not solely based on contact with sick individuals. B is incorrect as cleanliness is more than just the absence of visible dirt. C is incorrect because contamination with pathogens does not align with the definition of clean. Therefore, D is correct as it directly relates to the absence of pathogens, which is a key component of cleanliness.
Question 3 of 5
What is one way that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is spread?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: By contact with an infected person's blood. HIV is primarily spread through contact with infected blood, sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding.

It requires direct contact with specific bodily fluids containing the virus for transmission.

Choice D is beyond the scope of a nursing assistant's role and may not be appropriate without professional guidance.
