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 typically manifests with symptoms like redness, swelling, warmth, and drainage from a specific area. Drainage is a result of the body's immune response to infection, as it tries to remove the infectious material. Chills (A) and headache (B) are more commonly associated with systemic infections affecting the whole body, while mental confusion (D) is a sign of a severe systemic infection or other medical conditions. Therefore, C is the most specific and direct sign 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) because when breathing and heartbeat stop, the brain is deprived of oxygen. Brain cells start to die within 4-6 minutes without oxygen, leading to irreversible damage. Choice B (8-0 minutes) is incorrect as brain damage occurs much sooner than 8 minutes. Choice C (0-5 minutes) is incorrect because damage starts to occur after 4 minutes. Choice D (5-20 minutes) is incorrect as brain damage can occur within 4-6 minutes, not 20.
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. Reporting to the charge nurse is the best response as it involves notifying the appropriate authority figure to handle the situation professionally. Restraint (choice D) is a violation of the resident's rights and can lead to legal repercussions. Counseling (choice A) may not always be effective in deterring the resident from leaving. Reminding the resident of their illness (choice B) may not address the underlying reasons for wanting to leave. By reporting to the charge nurse, the resident's safety and well-being can be ensured through proper protocols and decision-making.
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 helps prevent pressure ulcers and allows for easier assessment of the rectal area. Prone position (B) is lying face down, Fowler's position (C) is sitting upright at a 45-90 degree angle, and Supine position (D) is lying flat on the back. These positions do not match the description given in the question, making them incorrect choices.
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 and damage to the denture material. Warm water may be too hot, potentially altering the shape of the dentures. Hot water can distort the dentures and boiling water can cause irreversible damage by melting the material. Cool water is the safest option for maintaining the integrity of dentures.
