Patient Care Exam Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Neglect can take the form of:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Neglect is failing to meet a client's needs, which can manifest as emotional/psychological abuse , like ignoring distress, or physical neglect , like not changing soiled linens. Sexual abuse involves specific acts, not neglect's omission. 'Both a and b' captures neglect's broad scope, as it can harm emotionally (isolation) or physically (hygiene neglect), per abuse definitions in PSW training. This inclusivity reflects real-world scenarios, making it the correct and comprehensive answer.
Question 2 of 5
You have just told your client that you will be back in 15 minutes to take their temperature. Why have you decided to wait?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Temperature readings are affected by recent activity. Smoking raises oral temperature briefly, so waiting 15 minutes ensures accuracy, per PSW vital signs training. Listening to a CD or foot care don't impact temperature. Bedtime is unrelated. Waiting post-smoking aligns with clinical standards for reliable readings, making it the correct reason.
Question 3 of 5
Rehabilitation helps a client:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rehabilitation restores function, helping clients relearn skills (e.g., walking) post-injury, per restorative care goals. Stress reduction is secondary. Functioning as an adult is vague. Rest isn't rehab's focus. PSWs support this relearning, making 'Relearn how to do things for himself/herself' the correct purpose.
Question 4 of 5
The following is true of newborn breastfed babies:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Breastfed newborns nurse on demand, often every 2-3 hours , per pediatric norms, not a fixed 4-6 hours or schedule . Stool is mustard-yellow, not brown formed . PSWs supporting families note this frequent feeding, making 'They usually nurse 2 to 3 hours day and night' the correct truth.
Question 5 of 5
As a PSW you may have to assist with post-mortem care. You should do all of the following except:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Post-mortem care respects the body. Gathering belongings , brushing hair , and placing a bed protector prepare it, per protocol. Discarding hearing aids/glasses isn't standard they're kept for family. The key picks 'D', possibly misaligned, but 'A' fits exclusion. 'Discard hearing aids and/or glasses' is correct per intent.
