Question 1 of 5
One sign of a localized infection is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Drainage from a wound or cavity. Localized infection often results in the accumulation of pus or fluid at the site of infection, leading to drainage. This is a clear sign of the body trying to expel the infectious material. Chills (A) and headache (B) are more systemic symptoms commonly associated with systemic infections. Mental confusion (D) is a sign of a severe infection affecting the central nervous system, not specific to localized infections. Therefore, the presence of drainage is a key indicator of a localized infection.
Question 2 of 5
If a person's breathing and heartbeat stop, brain damage can occur within ______ minutes.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A (4-6 minutes). When breathing and heartbeat stop, oxygen supply to the brain is cut off. Without oxygen, brain cells begin to die within 4-6 minutes, leading to brain damage. This time frame is critical for performing CPR to restore oxygen flow. Choice B (8-0) is incorrect as it does not align with the medical consensus on brain damage timeline without oxygen. Choice C (0-5) is incorrect as it inaccurately suggests brain damage can occur within seconds, which is not supported by medical knowledge. Choice D (5-20) is incorrect as it extends the time frame beyond what is generally accepted in medical emergency protocols.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following would be the best response by the nursing assistant if a resident wants to leave a facility against medical advice (AMA)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because reporting to the charge nurse allows for proper protocol to be followed, ensuring the resident's safety and legal rights are upheld. Counseling (A) may not be effective in this situation. Reminding the resident of their illness (B) may not address the underlying reason for wanting to leave. Restraint (D) is a violation of the resident's rights and should only be used as a last resort for safety reasons. Reporting to the charge nurse (C) is the appropriate action to involve higher authority and address the situation professionally and ethically.
Question 4 of 5
In which position is a resident if he is on his left side with his lower arm behind his back and his upper knee flexed?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Sims'. In Sims' position, the resident lies on the left side with the lower arm behind the back and the upper knee flexed. This position is often used for rectal exams or to increase comfort and facilitate drainage. Prone position (B) is lying face down. Fowler's position (C) is sitting up at a 45-90 degree angle. Supine position (D) is lying flat on the back. Sims' position is the only one among the choices that matches the described posture, making it the correct answer.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is the proper temperature for rinsing and storing dentures?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cool. Rinsing and storing dentures in cool water helps prevent warping or damage to the acrylic material. Warm or hot water can distort the shape of the dentures, while boiling water can cause them to lose their shape or become brittle. Cool water is recommended to maintain the integrity of dentures.
