Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Battery refers to the intentional and offensive physical contact with another person without their consent, resulting in harm or injury. In this scenario, the victim clearly expressed their unwillingness to be touched or helped by saying, "Don't touch me!" multiple times. By ignoring the victim's refusal and physically forcing them into the ambulance, the EMT is committing battery even though they may have had good intentions to provide assistance. It is important for medical professionals, including EMTs, to always respect a person's right to refuse medical treatment or assistance, even in emergency situations.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The right to considerate and respectful care irrespective of socio-economic status is applicable in this case because Mr. Steve is facing financial difficulties in paying for his medical bills. This right ensures that all patients receive proper treatment and care regardless of their ability to pay. It emphasizes that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their financial situation. In Mr. Steve's case, being referred to a social worker due to inability to pay should not impact the quality of care and respect he receives from healthcare providers.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: One of the signs and symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is not pain on urination. BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland which can cause urinary symptoms such as frequency of urination, dribbling of urine, hesitancy in starting urination, weak urine flow, feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, and increased urination at night (nocturia). Pain on urination is not typically associated with BPH, and it may suggest other urinary tract issues such as a urinary tract infection or a different medical condition.

This parasite is known to cause watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and nausea in infected individuals. The presence of oocysts in the stool sample is characteristic of Cryptosporidium infection.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Patients with COPD often experience dyspnea, which makes it difficult for them to breathe. When they have a full stomach, their diaphragm is compressed, which can further increase difficulty in breathing. Teaching patients with COPD to avoid having a full stomach even when in dyspneic condition is important to prevent exacerbation of breathing problems. It is advisable for them to have small, frequent meals to ensure adequate nutrition without compromising their ability to breathe comfortably.
