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 it involves personal feelings or opinions that cannot be objectively measured. Mrs. Parker stating she is dizzy is subjective as it is based on her own perception. Choice B is incorrect because a temperature of 0°F is an objective measurement. Choice C is incorrect as it is a factual event that can be verified. Choice D is incorrect as it is an observable behavior. Subjective information is based on personal interpretations or opinions, making choice A the best example.
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 visible dirt. Step 1: Cleanliness is defined by the absence of pathogens to prevent infections. Step 2: Objects can still be contaminated with pathogens even if dirt is not visible. Step 3: Choice D directly aligns with the definition of cleanliness in healthcare settings. Summary: A, B, and C are incorrect because cleanliness is primarily about the absence of pathogens, not about being used near sick residents, visible dirt, or contamination with pathogens.
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 blood-to-blood contact, sexual contact, and sharing needles. The virus is not airborne, so choice A is incorrect. HIV is not transmitted through casual physical contact like hugging or standing next to an infected person, so choices B and C are also incorrect. It is important to understand how HIV is spread to prevent transmission and promote awareness.
Question 4 of 5

Basic first aid can stabilize the patient's condition until professionals arrive. 3. Waiting for instructions (B) wastes time. Doing nothing (D) can be fatal. 4. Performing CPR without training (A) risks causing further harm.
Question 5 of 5
How can a nursing assistant help make discharge easier for a resident?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because being positive and reassuring can help alleviate anxiety and fear associated with discharge, making the transition smoother for the resident. This approach fosters trust and promotes emotional well-being. Allowing the resident to pack belongings (choice A) may not always be feasible or safe. Letting the resident walk alone to the car (choice C) can be risky and may not be appropriate. Recommending exercises post-discharge (choice D) is important but not directly related to making the discharge process easier.
