Residents have the right to:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: All calls , planning , mail are rights per the Bill. PSWs uphold these e.g., privacy for dignity. Missing one risks violation; this fits. This duty ensures autonomy, a PSW ethic in practice.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: These symptoms fever, nausea, vomiting, rash or sores, pain or tenderness, and redness are classic signs of infection . Fever signals the body fighting pathogens, nausea and vomiting suggest systemic involvement (e.g., gastroenteritis), and rash, sores, pain, and redness indicate localized inflammation (e.g., cellulitis). A fracture typically presents with swelling, deformity, or immobility, not fever or vomiting. A nodule is a growth, often benign, without systemic symptoms like nausea. A skin tag is a harmless flap, not linked to fever or pain. Infection aligns with clinical patterns PSWs are trained to recognize and report, making it the correct diagnosis based on the symptom cluster.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The five senses vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste are the human body's primary sensory inputs, processed by specialized organs (eyes, ears, skin, nose, tongue). Choice B mixes ambulation (movement) with senses, which isn't sensory. Choice C includes activities (feeding, dressing) and communication, not senses. Choice D lists organs but omits their functions (e.g., touch via skin, not stomach). Basic physiology, foundational in PSW training, defines these five as the standard sensory modalities, critical for assessing client perception, making 'Vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste' the correct and complete set.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Dry skin, common in elderly clients, needs moisture retention. Bubble bath may irritate or dry skin further with chemicals. Bathing twice daily strips natural oils, worsening dryness. Rubbing briskly stimulates blood flow but doesn't hydrate and may harm fragile skin. Applying lotion or oil after bathing locks in moisture, a proven skincare method in PSW practice, soothing and protecting skin per dermatological advice. This addresses the root cause effectively, making it the correct and most therapeutic choice.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A mild skin injury, like a scratch, breaches the protective barrier, making infection the primary risk as bacteria enter, potentially worsening if untreated. Gangrene is a severe outcome, not immediate. Fluid loss applies to burns, not mild injuries. Nerve damage is unlikely unless deeper. PSWs prioritize cleaning wounds to prevent infection, per basic first aid and infection control principles, making it the correct and most immediate concern.
