Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Edema is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in body tissues, leading to swelling. The correct answer is B: Swelling. The term "edema" specifically refers to the swelling caused by fluid retention. Choice A, Breaking, is incorrect as it does not relate to fluid accumulation. Choice C, Shrinking, is incorrect as it is the opposite of swelling. Choice D, Sleeping, is also incorrect as it is not related to the medical term for swelling.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
Which of the following is one way to prevent burns and scalds?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why choice B is correct: 1. Burns and scalds can occur when touching hot objects or liquids. 2. Ensuring objects left in the sun are cool before using prevents the risk of burns/scalds. 3. By allowing objects to cool down, the likelihood of accidental burns is reduced. 4. This proactive measure promotes safety in handling hot objects. Summary of why other choices are incorrect: - Choice A: Using lids on cold liquids doesn't directly prevent burns/scalds. - Choice C: Serving liquids while standing doesn't address the risk of burns/scalds. - Choice D: Using the highest settings on hair dryers can actually increase the risk of burns.
Question 4 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 5 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.
