Question 2 of 5
Which of the following would be the best response by a nursing assistant when a resident becomes angry?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because active listening helps the nursing assistant understand the resident's feelings and address the root cause of anger effectively. By listening closely, the NA can empathize, validate the resident's emotions, and provide appropriate support. This approach promotes trust and communication, leading to a more positive interaction. Choice B is incorrect because sharing personal problems can be unprofessional and may not effectively address the resident's anger. Choice C is inappropriate as joking may trivialize the resident's emotions and not address the underlying issue. Choice D is not suitable as it does not acknowledge or address the resident's feelings, and suggesting leaving the facility may not be in the resident's best interest.
Question 3 of 5
An additional way for a nursing assistant to help prevent infection in a facility is by
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because moving from a dirty area towards a clean area when cleaning surfaces helps prevent cross-contamination. This practice ensures that contaminants are not spread from one area to another. Holding soiled linens close to the uniform (A) can introduce contaminants to the clothing. Not using equipment dropped on the floor (C) is important, but it's not directly related to preventing infection. Coughing or sneezing into hands (D) can spread germs and is not hygienic.
Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because consciousness indicates that the victim's brain is functioning and they are responsive. Breathing is a vital sign of life, and the ability to breathe signifies that oxygen is being supplied to the body. A: If the victim has no pulse, it indicates a lack of circulation, not consciousness. C: An irregular heartbeat does not necessarily indicate consciousness. D: Losing the ability to speak does not necessarily mean the person is unconscious.
Question 5 of 5
A nursing assistant is transferring a resident from her bed into a wheelchair. The resident has a weaker right leg. Where should the NA place the wheelchair?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because placing the wheelchair on the resident's left side allows for easier transfer of the resident from bed to wheelchair, utilizing the stronger leg for support. Placing the wheelchair on the resident's weaker side (choice B) may cause imbalance and increase risk of falls. Placing it on the resident's right side (choice C) may obstruct the transfer. Placing it on the affected side (choice D) could potentially cause discomfort or injury to the weaker leg.
