Client Health and Safety Responsibilities Questions
Question 1 of 5
Patient currently getting electrocuted
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, "Switch off the fuse box first." This is the correct course of action to ensure safety during an electrocution emergency. By switching off the fuse box, the electrical current will be cut off, reducing the risk of further harm to the patient and rescuers. Pulling the patient first (option A) can result in additional injuries to both the patient and the rescuer. It is important to prioritize cutting off the power source before attempting any rescue. Options C and D are not valid choices as they do not provide any effective solution to address the immediate danger of electrocution.
Question 2 of 5
Patient with TB, private room
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Pull the door going inside the room. This is because pulling the door prevents the potential spread of TB germs from the patient's room to the hallway or other areas. By pulling the door, the negative pressure in the room helps contain the germs inside. Pushing the door would create a higher pressure inside the room, increasing the risk of germs escaping. Choice A is incorrect because pushing the door would not maintain containment of the TB germs. Choices C and D are left blank as they are not relevant to the rationale provided.
Question 3 of 5
To avoid, snorring
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because snoring often occurs when sleeping on the back (supine position), causing the tongue and soft tissues to collapse towards the back of the throat, obstructing the airway. By lessening the time spent in the supine position or using positional therapy devices to prevent sleeping on the back, the likelihood of snoring can be reduced. Option A, sleeping flat, does not address the specific issue of sleeping on the back. Options C and D are incomplete, and their relevance to snoring prevention is unclear.
Question 4 of 5
Sagittal suture at the skull.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The sagittal suture runs from the front to the back of the skull, dividing it into left and right halves. This is its primary function, aligning with the midline of the skull. Choice A is correct because it accurately describes the anatomical division created by the sagittal suture. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the function of the sagittal suture.
Question 5 of 5
Blind patient, where will the nurse position herself?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because the nurse should be positioned in front of the blind patient, allowing the patient to hold onto the nurse's shoulder from behind. This positioning ensures the patient feels secure and can easily follow the nurse's movements. Placing the nurse at the back (choice A) may cause confusion and not provide the necessary support. Choice C and D are left blank as they do not offer appropriate alternatives.
