Patient Comfort Questions Shadow Health Questions
Question 1 of 5
A Registered Nurse with advanced education and who can prescribe medications is a:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A nurse practitioner is an RN with advanced education and prescribing rights, unlike a dietician (A, nutrition), registered nurse (C, no prescribing), or practical nurse (D, limited scope). PSWs collaborate with them, reporting observations for medication adjustments. Misidentification could blur roles, affecting care coordination e.g., expecting an RN to prescribe. Recognizing this ensures PSWs defer clinical decisions appropriately, supporting advanced care while staying within their assistive scope, a key dynamic in health teams.
Question 2 of 5
According to Maslow, experiencing one's potential fulfills which need?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Self-actualization fulfills experiencing potential per Maslow, not love , physical security , or safety . PSWs aid this e.g., supporting a talent after basics like safety are secure. Confusing it with lower needs risks misprioritizing; potential isn't about belonging or protection. A client mastering a skill exemplifies this, boosting purpose. PSWs rarely target it directly but enable it by meeting prior needs, ensuring clients reach higher fulfillment, a subtle but critical distinction in applying Maslow's hierarchy to care.
Question 3 of 5

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Discussing with a supervisor manages frustration professionally, unlike venting to Mr. Clark , pushing him , or reassigning . PSWs maintain composure e.g., seeking guidance preserving client trust. Venting risks guilt; swapping avoids growth. Supervision ensures support, a PSW strategy for emotional resilience, keeping care client-focused, per ethical training.
Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Calling the supervisor follows protocol for no answer e.g., safety check unlike leaving , delaying , or 911 . PSWs escalate risks like falls, ensuring care. Ignoring risks neglect; emergency needs cause. This step protects clients, a PSW judgment in community settings, per training.
Question 5 of 5
An approach to work that demonstrates respect to others, commitment, competence and appropriate behaviour is:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Professionalism shows respect and competence e.g., punctuality unlike scope , jurisprudence (B, law), or kibitzing (D, chat). PSWs embody this e.g., calm demeanor building trust. Misnaming risks unprofessional acts; this fits. It's their daily standard, ensuring quality care, a core trait.
