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: The current season of the year. This is because the ability to identify the current season relies on memory and awareness of time passing, which can be challenging for someone who is disoriented. The other choices (A, C, D) are more concrete and observable, making them easier for a disoriented person to correctly identify. Choice A relates to a specific service used by the facility, choice C involves a specific object, and choice D pertains to a physical location within the unit, all of which are more tangible and less reliant on abstract concepts like time.
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 the call light work is essential for ensuring the safety and comfort of the new resident. By understanding how to use these tools, the resident can easily call for assistance and adjust the bed position as needed. This information empowers the resident to communicate effectively with the nursing staff and promotes their independence. Choice A is incorrect because unpacking personal items is not a primary responsibility during admission. Choice B is incorrect as nursing assistants are not qualified to give physical exams for care plan formulation. Choice D is incorrect as discussing advance directive choices is typically the responsibility of the nurse or social worker, not the 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 answer is correct because keeping objects close to the body while lifting helps maintain proper body mechanics and reduces the risk of injury. By keeping objects close, the nursing assistant can utilize the strength of their core and leg muscles, which are stronger and more stable compared to the muscles in the arms. This technique also helps in maintaining balance and stability while lifting. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because keeping objects away from the body can strain the back, lifting above the waist line can lead to improper lifting mechanics and increased risk of injury, and pulling objects may strain the arms and back muscles.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is normal temperature range for the axillary method?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The axillary method involves taking the temperature in the armpit. Normal axillary temperature range is typically around 96.6 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This range is slightly lower than the normal oral temperature range. Choice D is correct since it falls within the normal axillary temperature range. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not align with the typical temperature range for axillary method. A is too high, B is too low, and C is too high for axillary temperature.
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 condition in which all body systems are balanced and functioning optimally to maintain internal stability. It involves mechanisms that regulate factors such as temperature, pH, and blood glucose levels within a narrow range. Halitosis (A) is bad breath, Hemoptysis (B) is coughing up blood, and Hepatitis (C) is inflammation of the liver. Hence, these options are unrelated to the balance of body systems.
