Question 1 of 5
A caregiver who smokes marijuana while working may have a
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Substance abuse problem. Smoking marijuana while working indicates a potential substance abuse issue, as it impairs judgment and performance. It poses risks to the caregiver, the care recipient, and violates workplace policies. Sober relapse (A) is not applicable, as it suggests a return to substance use after a period of abstinence, which is not indicated in the scenario. Legal substance appropriation (C) is irrelevant, as the issue is not about the legality of marijuana but rather the impact on caregiving. Workplace harassment (D) is also not relevant as there is no mention of harassment in the scenario.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following should the nursing assistant do when working with a resident who has a visual impairment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Encouraging the resident to use other senses like smell and hearing can help compensate for the visual impairment and improve their quality of life. This approach promotes independence and enhances the resident's ability to navigate their environment. Choice B is incorrect because shouting can be alarming and disorienting for someone with a visual impairment, and it does not support effective communication. Choice C is incorrect because lowering room lighting may not be helpful for a visually impaired resident as they may still require adequate lighting to see objects clearly. Choice D is incorrect because changing the location of familiar objects can be confusing and distressing for the resident, rather than keeping them mentally active.
Question 3 of 5
What does the acronym PASS stand for?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Pull-Aim-Squeeze-Sweep. This acronym stands for the correct steps to operate a fire extinguisher. 1. Pull the pin to break the tamper seal. 2. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. 3. Squeeze the handle to discharge the extinguishing agent. 4. Sweep the nozzle from side to side to cover the fire completely. Choices A, B, and D include incorrect steps such as "Push," "Assist," "Squeegee," which are not part of the proper fire extinguisher operation procedure.
Question 4 of 5
A resident's weight is measured in
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Pounds or kilograms. Weight is typically measured in units of mass, such as pounds or kilograms. Pounds and kilograms are commonly used internationally for measuring weight. Inches, centimeters, millimeters, and kilometers are units of length, while quarts and gallons are units of volume. Therefore, B is the correct choice for measuring a resident's weight.
Question 5 of 5
The Fowler's position means the resident is positioned in a
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 45 to 60-degree angle. Fowler's position is commonly used in healthcare to promote optimal breathing and circulation. In this position, the resident is elevated at a 45 to 60-degree angle, which helps improve lung expansion and reduce pressure on the abdomen. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the standard range for Fowler's position. A 60 to 90-degree angle (Option A) would be too upright and could cause discomfort, while angles of 25 to 40 degrees (Option C) or 15 to 30 degrees (Option D) may not provide sufficient elevation for the desired therapeutic effects.
