Passive range of motion exercises primarily prevent:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Passive range of motion (ROM) exercises, where PSWs move limbs, primarily prevent joint contractures by maintaining flexibility in immobile clients, per physical therapy principles. Pressure ulcers relate to repositioning. Muscle atrophy and spasms may benefit, but contractures are the main target. This focus aligns with PSW restorative roles, making 'Joint contractures' the correct primary prevention.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Late-stage dementia clients are frail, and CPR or gastric tubes often fail to improve quality of life, per palliative ethics. CPR effectiveness is low, hospital transfer or tubes may prolong suffering. PSWs follow care plans, making 'Attempting CPR and inserting a gastric tube are not helpful' the correct stance.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Repeating everything said is echolalia , a symptom in autism or dementia, per speech pathology. Ectomorphic is body type, eclampsia is a seizure condition, and echo phobia is fictional. PSWs note echolalia for reporting, making it the correct term for this behavior.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Diabetes occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin , impairing glucose uptake, per endocrine science. Excess insulin is rare. Thyroid failure affects metabolism, not sugar directly. No sugar intake isn't diabetes. PSWs manage diabetic care, making 'The pancreas fails to produce enough insulin' the correct cause.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A private meeting with HR ensures safety, dignity, and complete documentation.
