Client Safety Questions
Question 1 of 5
Reverse isolation
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reverse isolation is a protective measure used to prevent a person who is immunocompromised or at a higher risk of infection from acquiring infections. The correct answer, B, "Person easy to get sick inside a room," is the most accurate because it reflects the concept that the person in reverse isolation is susceptible to infections and needs protection. Choice A, "Sick person inside a private room," is incorrect because reverse isolation is used for individuals at risk of acquiring infections, not necessarily those who are already sick. Choices C and D are incomplete and do not provide relevant information related to reverse isolation. In summary, the correct answer is B because it aligns with the purpose and practice of reverse isolation for protecting vulnerable individuals from getting sick.
Question 2 of 5
Best for nail care
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Nail cutters. Nail cutters are essential for maintaining nail health by trimming nails to prevent ingrown nails, infections, and maintain overall nail hygiene. They provide a precise cut and are efficient for shaping nails. Nail filers (option B) are useful for smoothing rough edges but may not be as effective for shaping and maintaining nail health. Options C and D are likely left blank as they are irrelevant to nail care. In summary, nail cutters are the best choice for nail care due to their precision, efficiency, and effectiveness in maintaining healthy nails.
Question 3 of 5
Combing
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because combing should start at the scalp to detangle hair effectively and prevent breakage. By starting at the scalp, you can gradually work your way down to the tips, smoothing out knots and ensuring even distribution of oils. Starting at the tip (choice B) can cause more tangles and potentially lead to hair damage. Choices C and D are irrelevant as they do not provide any relevant information about combing techniques.
