A Review of Basic Patient Rights in Psychiatric Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
For a nursing assistant pressure injury care includes
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, keeping skin dry. This is important in pressure injury care to prevent moisture-related skin breakdown. Moisture can lead to skin maceration and increase the risk of pressure injuries. Restricting fluids (A) is not appropriate as hydration is essential for overall skin health. Using moisturizers on open skin (B) can trap moisture and worsen the condition. Changing position every four hours (C) is important for preventing pressure injuries but does not directly address the care of existing pressure injuries.
Question 2 of 5
A disorder caused by a buildup of fluid in the inner ear is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Meniere's disease. Meniere's disease is characterized by a buildup of fluid in the inner ear, leading to symptoms like vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Otitis media (A) is an infection of the middle ear, not a buildup of fluid. Glaucoma (C) is a condition affecting the eyes due to increased pressure, not related to the inner ear. Myopia (D) is nearsightedness, a condition of the eye, not related to fluid buildup in the inner ear. Therefore, Meniere's disease is the correct choice due to its specific association with fluid accumulation in the inner ear.
Question 3 of 5
What is an opportunistic infection?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because an opportunistic infection is an illness caused by microorganisms that typically do not cause disease in individuals with healthy immune systems, but can cause illness in people with weakened immune systems. This occurs because the weakened immune system is unable to effectively fight off these microorganisms. Choice A is incorrect because it describes abnormal cell growth, which is characteristic of cancer, not opportunistic infections. Choice B is incorrect as it describes a temporary disappearance of cancer symptoms, not related to opportunistic infections. Choice C is incorrect as it refers to a disorder causing bladder inflammation, which is not related to opportunistic infections.
Question 4 of 5
Straightening a body part is also called
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Extension. Straightening a body part involves increasing the angle between two body parts or straightening a joint. Flexion (A) is the opposite movement, reducing the angle. Pronation (B) refers to turning the palm or sole downward. Adduction (D) is movement towards the midline of the body, not straightening. Therefore, extension is the correct term for straightening a body part.
Question 5 of 5
The process of burning a dead body until it turns to ash is
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Cremation. Cremation is the process of burning a dead body until it turns to ash. This involves exposing the body to high temperatures in a crematorium. The other choices are incorrect: B) Libation is the act of pouring out a drink as an offering to a deity or the dead, C) Pronation refers to the rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces downward, and D) Expiration is the act of exhaling air from the lungs.
