Signs and symptoms of dehydration include:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Dehydration, a fluid deficit, reduces urine production as the body conserves water, making decreased urinary output a key sign. Moist skin indicates hydration, not loss. Increased urinary output suggests excess fluid, opposite of dehydration. Increased energy contradicts fatigue from fluid lack. PSWs monitor these signs, and clinical standards list reduced urine as primary, alongside dry mouth or thirst, making it the correct symptom.

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.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Breastfed newborns nurse on demand, often every 2-3 hours , per pediatric norms, not a fixed 4-6 hours or schedule . Stool is mustard-yellow, not brown formed . PSWs supporting families note this frequent feeding, making 'They usually nurse 2 to 3 hours day and night' the correct truth.

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.

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.
