Shadow Health Patient Comfort Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A health care aide may be able to work in all the following facilities except:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A funeral home is not a typical workplace for a health care aide, as their role centers on living clients providing personal care in group homes (e.g., disabled residents), acute care (e.g., hospital support), and long-term care (e.g., nursing homes). Funeral homes involve post-mortem tasks like embalming, outside an aide's scope of supporting daily living or recovery. Aides assist with ADLs and observation, not deceased care, making this an outlier. Knowing work settings ensures aides pursue relevant roles, aligning skills with client needs, not misapplying them in unrelated fields.
Question 2 of 5
During an exchange of information, a message is sent:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A message goes from speaker to receiver in communication, not receiver to speaker , speaker to speaker , or without feedback . PSWs use this e.g., explaining care to a client expecting feedback like a nod. Misunderstanding this risks one-way communication, missing client input. Effective exchange ensures needs are heard and met, like adjusting care based on responses, a daily PSW skill enhancing rapport and accuracy in client interactions.
Question 3 of 5
In a community setting, who usually assesses, monitors, and evaluates the client's needs and coordinates the services of the health care team?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The case manager typically coordinates community care, assessing and monitoring needs, unlike physicians (A, treatment-focused), therapists (C, rehab), or social workers (D, support). PSWs report to them e.g., on ADL changes ensuring integrated services. Misidentifying this risks disjointed care; case managers unify efforts. Their role streamlines PSW tasks, aligning resources to client needs, a critical link in community health teamwork.
Question 4 of 5
A caregiver is responsible for the moral and legal requirements of proper patient care. This means that the caregiver is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Accountable means caregivers answer morally and legally for care, unlike licensed (B, credentialed), employed (C, status), or regulated (D, governed). PSWs are accountable e.g., reporting errors ensuring ethical, safe practice. Misnaming it risks shirking duty; accountability drives diligence over mere employment. For instance, owning a mistake like a missed bath upholds trust, a core PSW trait. This responsibility ensures client welfare and legal compliance, distinguishing their role from passive job status, vital for professionalism in daily care.
Question 5 of 5
Temporary care of a person with a serious illness or disability that gives the regular care-giver a break from their duties is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Respite care relieves regular caregivers temporarily, unlike chronic (B, ongoing), acute (C, short-term), or palliation (D, end-of-life). PSWs provide this e.g., aiding a family supporting sustainability. Mislabeling risks misapplied care; respite is relief-focused. This role eases caregiver burden, a PSW contribution to family well-being, distinct from treatment types, per their community scope.
