______ is the loss of function of the lower body and legs.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Paraplegia is the loss of function of the lower body and legs. "Para" means alongside or beside, indicating the lower part of the body. The other choices, A: Concussion, C: Quadriplegia, and D: Hemiplegia, do not specifically refer to the loss of function in the lower body and legs. Concussion is a head injury, Quadriplegia affects all four limbs, and Hemiplegia affects one side of the body.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 4. A quad cane has 4 feet for stability and support. Each foot touches the ground independently, providing balance and preventing falls. Choice A (1) is incorrect as a single foot would not provide adequate stability. Choice B (2) is incorrect as that would be a regular cane. Choice C (3) is incorrect as it would be a tri cane, not a quad cane.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because listening to family and friends when they want to talk about their feelings is an essential aspect of providing emotional support during the grieving process. By actively listening, nursing assistants can offer empathy and comfort. Choice A is incorrect because calming upset family members does not address their emotional needs. Choice B is incorrect as asking them not to cry dismisses their emotions. Choice D is incorrect because showing empathy and support are crucial in helping family and friends cope with the resident's death.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Liability. Liability refers to legal responsibility for causing harm to someone else. In legal terms, it means being accountable for damages or injuries. The other choices are incorrect because: B: Lability is a misspelling and not a valid term in this context. C: Litigious means inclined to engage in lawsuits, not specifically about being responsible for harm. D: Misdemeanor is a criminal offense, not directly related to legal responsibility for harm.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: A spouse. Intimate partner violence (IPV) refers to violence or abuse within a romantic or intimate relationship. Spouses are considered intimate partners, making them capable of committing IPV. Uncles, neighbors, and friends are not typically considered intimate partners, so they are less likely to commit IPV. Spouses have a closer and more intimate relationship, which can lead to power dynamics and conflicts that may result in IPV.
