Patient Care Exam Questions Questions
Question 1 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 2 of 5

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.
Question 3 of 5
Brain injuries can be caused by all of the following except:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Brain injuries result from stroke via blood flow loss, head trauma via impact, and tumors via pressure all direct causes per medical texts. Fever may signal infection but doesn't structurally injure the brain. PSWs differentiate these for care, making 'Fever' the correct exception among injury causes.
