A Review of Basic Patient Rights in Psychiatric Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
A resident who is disoriented might not be able to correctly identify the following
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because a disoriented resident may struggle to accurately perceive the current season due to cognitive impairment. This could lead to confusion or incorrect identification. Choices A, C, and D involve more concrete and stable information that is less likely to be affected by disorientation. Residents may still recognize the linen company, administrator's car, and emergency cart locations even if disoriented.
Question 2 of 5
What is one nursing assistant responsibility during the admission of a new resident?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because explaining how the bed controls and call light work is essential for the resident's safety and comfort. This information empowers the resident to communicate needs effectively. Unpacking personal items (A) is not a priority during admission. Giving a physical exam (B) is beyond the scope of a nursing assistant's role. Discussing advance directives (D) should be done by a nurse or physician, not a nursing assistant.
Question 3 of 5
In order to lift objects safely the nursing assistant should
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Keep objects close to her body. This is because keeping objects close to the body reduces strain on the back and minimizes the risk of injury. By keeping objects close, the weight is distributed more evenly, making it easier to lift safely. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because keeping objects away from the body can strain the back, lifting above the waist line can put additional strain on the shoulders and arms, and pulling objects instead of lifting can also lead to back injuries.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is normal temperature range for the axillary method?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D (96.6 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) for the axillary method. This range is commonly accepted as normal for axillary temperature measurement. Axillary temperature is typically 1 degree lower than oral temperature, making the range of 96.6 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit appropriate. A: 97.6 to 99.6 degrees Fahrenheit - This range is more aligned with oral temperature range rather than axillary. B: 94.6 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit - The lower end of this range is too low for normal body temperature. C: 98.6 to 100.6 degrees Fahrenheit - This range is too high for axillary temperature measurement and is typically considered a fever.
Question 5 of 5
What is the term used to describe the condition in which all of the body systems are balanced?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Homeostasis. Homeostasis refers to the state of equilibrium within the body where all systems are balanced. This is crucial for optimal functioning and overall health. Halitosis (A) is bad breath, unrelated to overall body balance. Hemoptysis (B) is coughing up blood, a symptom of a serious medical condition. Hepatitis (C) is inflammation of the liver, also not related to overall body balance. Homeostasis is the only term that directly relates to the balanced functioning of all body systems.
