Basic Principles of Long-Term Patient Care Developing a Therapeutic Community Questions
Question 1 of 5
____________means that a person is confused about personplace and time
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Disorientation. Disorientation refers to confusion about person, place, and time, often seen in conditions like dementia. Disorganization (A) refers to a lack of order or structure, not specifically related to confusion about person, place, and time. Disruptive (B) means causing disturbance or interruption, not related to confusion. Disinfection (D) is the process of cleaning to remove germs, which is completely unrelated to the confusion about person, place, and time described in the question. Thus, the correct answer is C as it directly addresses the state of being confused about person, place, and time.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is a sign or symptom that a resident is experiencing insulin reaction?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because dizziness is a common sign of an insulin reaction, also known as hypoglycemia. When blood sugar levels drop too low due to excess insulin, dizziness can occur. Dry skin (A) and saying he is full (C) are not specific signs of an insulin reaction. Breath smelling like fruit (B) is a sign of diabetic ketoacidosis, not insulin reaction.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is a helpful idea for dietary changes that may promote sleep?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because eating meals earlier in the evening rather than just before bedtime allows for better digestion and prevents discomfort that may interfere with sleep. Eating heavy meals before bed can lead to indigestion and disrupt sleep. Fluid restrictions may cause dehydration, affecting sleep quality. Drinking soda before bedtime can lead to disturbances in sleep due to the caffeine and sugar content. By choosing option D, residents can optimize their digestion and promote better sleep quality.
Question 4 of 5
What temperature should the lotion be for a back massage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct temperature for lotion in a back massage should be warm (choice A) for optimal relaxation and muscle penetration. Warm lotion helps to soothe muscles, improve circulation, and enhance the overall massage experience. Using hot (choice B) or icy (choice D) lotion can be uncomfortable or even harmful to the skin. Cold lotion (choice C) may cause muscles to tense up instead of relaxing. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer for providing a safe and effective back massage.
Question 5 of 5
If a resident consumes ½ cup of a fluid how many milliliters (mL) has he consumed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 120 mL. To convert 1 cup to milliliters, we use the conversion factor 1 cup = 240 mL. Since the resident consumes ½ cup, we multiply 240 mL by 0.5 which equals 120 mL. The other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct conversion factor or mathematical calculation. Choice A (60 mL) would be the result if the resident consumed ¼ cup, choice C (30 mL) if he consumed 1/8 cup, and choice D (80 mL) is not a valid conversion based on the given information.
