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 insulin reaction due to low blood sugar levels. When a resident experiences an insulin reaction, their body may not be getting enough glucose for energy, leading to dizziness. Dry skin (A), fruity breath (B), and feeling full (C) are not typical signs of an insulin reaction. Dry skin is more associated with dehydration, fruity breath with diabetic ketoacidosis, and feeling full with satiety, not low blood sugar levels.
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 allows for better digestion before bedtime, reducing the likelihood of discomfort or indigestion that can disrupt sleep. This also helps regulate blood sugar levels, preventing spikes that may interfere with sleep. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because drinking soda before bedtime can disrupt sleep due to caffeine and sugar content, being on fluid restrictions may lead to dehydration and negatively impact sleep quality, and eating a heavy meal just before bedtime can cause indigestion and discomfort, both of which can disrupt sleep.
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. Warm lotion helps to relax muscles, improve circulation, and enhance the overall massage experience. Hot lotion can potentially burn the skin, while cold or icy lotion can be uncomfortable and ineffective in promoting relaxation. Warm lotion allows for easier application and absorption into the skin, aiding in the smoothness of the massage strokes and maximizing the therapeutic benefits. Therefore, choice A is the most suitable option for a 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: To convert 1 cup to mL, we use the conversion factor 1 cup = 236.59 mL. Since the resident consumed 1/2 cup, we calculate 236.59 mL / 2 = 118.295 mL, which rounds up to 120 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is B (120). Choice A (60) is incorrect as it is half of 120. Choice C (30) is incorrect as it is half of 60. Choice D (80) is incorrect as it does not correspond to the calculation based on 1/2 cup.
