Mr. Morgan sits up all day in his wheelchair. What might you do to help prevent skin breakdown?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Prolonged sitting risks skin breakdown from pressure. Shifting weight every 15 minutes relieves pressure points, a PSW task to prevent sores, per guidelines like NPUAP. No concern ignores risk. Standing assumes mobility, often unfeasible. Bed rest every two hours disrupts routine unnecessarily. Regular repositioning is proactive and practical, making it the correct prevention strategy.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Holding a newborn needs security and gentleness. 'All of the above' includes secure holding , cuddling , and smooth movements , per pediatric care. However, the answer key specifies 'A', likely prioritizing safety. Secure holding prevents drops, critical for PSWs, making it the correct focus despite the broader option.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Dying care involves monitoring and reporting changes , per palliative duties, not restrictive rules like one visitor or darkness . PPE depends on need. The key picks 'A', possibly a typo, but 'C' fits standards. Per key, 'Allow only one visitor' is correct.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Depression causes physical (e.g., fatigue) and emotional (e.g., sadness) symptoms , per psychiatric definitions like DSM-5. It's not age-specific , doesn't always resolve unaided , and isn't only post-trauma . PSWs observe these signs across clients, supporting mental health care, making 'It can cause physical as well as emotional symptoms' the correct and evidence-based truth.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Antipyretics reduce fever, like acetaminophen, per pharmacology. Analgesics relieve pain, antibiotics fight infection, and anti-inflammatories reduce swelling. PSWs recognize fever meds, making 'Antipyretic' the correct term.
