A Review of Basic Patient Rights in Psychiatric Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
A disorder caused by a buildup of fluid in the inner ear is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Meniere's disease. Meniere's disease is characterized by a buildup of fluid in the inner ear, leading to symptoms like vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Otitis media (A) is an infection of the middle ear, not a buildup of fluid. Glaucoma (C) is a condition affecting the eyes due to increased pressure, not related to the inner ear. Myopia (D) is nearsightedness, a condition of the eye, not related to fluid buildup in the inner ear. Therefore, Meniere's disease is the correct choice due to its specific association with fluid accumulation in the inner ear.
Question 2 of 5
Straightening a body part is also called
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Extension. Straightening a body part involves increasing the angle between two body parts or straightening a joint. Flexion (A) is the opposite movement, reducing the angle. Pronation (B) refers to turning the palm or sole downward. Adduction (D) is movement towards the midline of the body, not straightening. Therefore, extension is the correct term for straightening a body part.

Question 4 of 5
The nurse has administered a preoperative medication to the patient going to surgery. Which action will the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because the nurse's priority post-administration of preoperative medication is to ensure patient safety. Instructing the patient to call for help to go to the restroom is important to prevent falls or other adverse events due to the medication's effects. A: Notifying the operating suite is not the immediate next step after medication administration. C: Wasting unused medication is important but not the immediate priority post-administration. D: Asking the patient to sign the consent for surgery can wait until the patient is stable and oriented.
Question 5 of 5
You are dispatched to the scene of a one-vehicle motor collision. Upon your arrival at the scene, you note that the vehicle struck a tree on the driver side. The driver is the only patient, and she is still sitting in the driver seat of the vehicle. The vehicle is stable and has moderate damage noted to the driver side, which prevents the driver side door from opening. Which of the following would be the most appropriate way to extricate the patient from the vehicle?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Open the passenger side door and extricate through the passenger side. This is the most appropriate way to safely extricate the patient because the driver side door is blocked due to the damage from the collision. By opening the passenger side door, you can safely remove the patient without causing further harm. It is important to avoid moving the patient through a window or using force to pry open the damaged driver side door, as this could potentially worsen any injuries the patient may have sustained. Opening the rear driver side door may not provide enough space or be as safe as using the undamaged passenger side door for extraction.
