Patient Care Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A Medical Doctor who prescribes medications and leads the health care team is a:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A physician prescribes and leads, unlike surgeons (B, surgery), pathologists (C, diagnostics), or cardiologists (D, heart-specific). PSWs report to them e.g., symptoms for care plans. Misidentifying risks role confusion; physicians oversee broadly. This clarity ensures PSWs align with leadership, supporting medical directives, a key team dynamic.
Question 2 of 5
H.S. care is performed:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: H.S. (hora somni) care is bedtime , not morning , afternoon , or dinner . PSWs do this e.g., night prep per routine. Misnaming risks timing errors; bedtime is standard. This term guides PSWs, ensuring restful care, a practical detail in schedules.
Question 3 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Records are permanent and stored per law, not sent home , destroyed , or kept by family . PSWs follow this e.g., no removal for compliance. Errors risk breaches; storage fits. This rule ensures data security, a PSW context in care transitions.
Question 4 of 5
Subjective symptoms are:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Subjective e.g., pain is client-felt, not observed , vague , or doctor-only . PSWs note this e.g., reports for plans. Errors risk ignoring input; this fits. This ensures client perspectives shape care, a PSW duty.
Question 5 of 5
A PSW's work is concerned primarily with:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Implementation is PSW work e.g., bathing unlike assessment , documentation , or planning , which RNs lead. PSWs execute plans. Misnaming risks scope creep; this fits. This focus ensures hands-on care, a PSW core duty.
