A mask and goggles should be worn

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Wearing a mask and goggles is necessary if contact with splashing or spraying blood or body fluids is likely to occur to protect from potential infections. It is not required during all care procedures (A), only when there is a risk of exposure. It is not needed when caring for any resident with an infectious disease (B), unless there is a risk of exposure to bodily fluids. Wearing them at all times while in the facility (D) is unnecessary and may lead to discomfort and misuse of personal protective equipment.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Cerebrovascular accident. A transient ischemic attack (TIA) results from a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain, indicating a risk of a more serious event like a stroke (cerebrovascular accident). TIAs serve as a warning sign, as they have similar symptoms to a stroke but resolve within 24 hours. Myocardial infarction (choice B) is a heart-related condition, not typically associated with TIAs. Hypoglycemia (choice C) is low blood sugar, which can present with neurological symptoms but is not typically a warning sign of a TIA. Epistaxis (choice D) is nosebleed, unrelated to TIAs.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, gloves, because disposable equipment is designed for single-use to prevent cross-contamination. Gloves are used once and then discarded to maintain hygiene standards. Autoclave (A) is a sterilization device, not disposable. Electric razor (B) and sphygmomanometer (C) are reusable tools, not intended for single-use like disposable equipment.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, a complete bed bath, as Ms. Reid is unable to get out of bed. A complete bed bath allows for thorough cleaning while maintaining her in bed. It ensures cleanliness, promotes comfort, and prevents the risk of falls or injury. The other choices (A: Partial bath, B: Shower, C: Tub bath) are not suitable as they all require the patient to be able to get out of bed, which Ms. Reid cannot do.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Green or blue. Oral thermometers are color-coded in green or blue to indicate that they are designed for oral use, making them easily distinguishable from other types of thermometers. Green or blue color-coding helps users quickly identify the appropriate thermometer for oral temperature readings. Incorrect choices: B: Red or orange - Red or orange color-coding is not typically used for oral thermometers. C: Black or white - Black or white color-coding is not commonly associated with oral thermometers. D: White or gray - White or gray color-coding is not standard for oral thermometers.
