Question 1 of 5
A surveyor may cite a facility for
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because failing to provide a resident with the proper amount of daily calories is a violation of basic human needs, leading to malnutrition and health issues. Surveyors focus on ensuring residents' physical well-being, including adequate nutrition. Providing counseling (A) and addressing social and emotional needs (D) are important but not the primary role of a surveyor. Access to religious services (B) is a personal preference and not a requirement for facility citations.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is the proper conversion of 1445 to regular time?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The proper conversion of 1445 to regular time is 2:45 p.m. To convert military time to regular time, we subtract 12 from the hours if it's past 12 p.m. In this case, 14 - 12 = 2, so it's 2 p.m. The minutes remain the same, so it's 2:45 p.m. A: 2:15 a.m. - Incorrect, as the military time 1445 corresponds to p.m. not a.m. B: 2:15 p.m. - Incorrect, as the military time 1445 corresponds to 2:45 p.m. C: 2:45 a.m. - Incorrect, as the military time 1445 corresponds to p.m. not a.m.
Question 3 of 5
How does a nursing assistant help a resident with the resident's spiritual beliefs?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, as respecting the resident's religion and religious practices is crucial in providing person-centered care. By respecting the resident's beliefs, the nursing assistant acknowledges their autonomy and dignity. Providing information on the NA's specific religion (A) violates the resident's autonomy. Encouraging participation in a roommate's ceremonies (B) may not align with the resident's beliefs. Expressing dismay over the family's choices (C) is unprofessional and disrespectful. Ultimately, choice D promotes a supportive and inclusive environment for the resident's spiritual beliefs.
Question 4 of 5
A localized infection
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. A localized infection is confined to a specific area of the body, leading to signs and symptoms near the site of infection. This is because the infection remains contained and does not spread throughout the body. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because a localized infection does not necessarily exhibit systemic symptoms like fever and chills, spread throughout the body, or always result in fatality. Therefore, the symptoms being near the infection site is the defining characteristic of a localized infection.
Question 5 of 5
For a person with diabetes having too little food in the body can cause
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hypoglycemia. When a person with diabetes has too little food, their blood sugar levels drop, leading to hypoglycemia. This occurs because there is not enough glucose in the body to provide energy, causing symptoms like weakness, confusion, and sweating. Diabetic alkalosis (A) is incorrect as it refers to a condition of high blood pH, not caused by low food intake. Insulin attack (C) is not a recognized medical term related to low food intake and diabetes. Hyperglycemia (D) is the opposite of hypoglycemia, characterized by high blood sugar levels, which would not be caused by too little food intake.
