Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. Spirituality refers to concerns of the spirit and the sacred, encompassing beliefs, practices, and values related to the inner self and higher power. 2. It is not limited to a defined group with identical beliefs (Option A) or a belief in spirits (Option C). 3.

Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is one way to prevent burns and scalds?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why choice B is correct: 1. Burns and scalds can occur when touching hot objects or liquids. 2. Ensuring objects left in the sun are cool before using prevents the risk of burns/scalds. 3. By allowing objects to cool down, the likelihood of accidental burns is reduced. 4. This proactive measure promotes safety in handling hot objects. Summary of why other choices are incorrect: - Choice A: Using lids on cold liquids doesn't directly prevent burns/scalds. - Choice C: Serving liquids while standing doesn't address the risk of burns/scalds. - Choice D: Using the highest settings on hair dryers can actually increase the risk of burns.
Question 3 of 5
What is one nursing assistant responsibility during the admission of a new resident?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because explaining how the bed controls and call light work is essential for the resident's safety and comfort. This information empowers the resident to communicate needs effectively. Unpacking personal items (A) is not a priority during admission. Giving a physical exam (B) is beyond the scope of a nursing assistant's role. Discussing advance directives (D) should be done by a nurse or physician, not a nursing assistant.
Question 4 of 5
In order to lift objects safely the nursing assistant should
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Keep objects close to her body. This is because keeping objects close to the body reduces strain on the back and minimizes the risk of injury. By keeping objects close, the weight is distributed more evenly, making it easier to lift safely. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because keeping objects away from the body can strain the back, lifting above the waist line can put additional strain on the shoulders and arms, and pulling objects instead of lifting can also lead to back injuries.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is normal temperature range for the axillary method?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D (96.6 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) for the axillary method. This range is commonly accepted as normal for axillary temperature measurement. Axillary temperature is typically 1 degree lower than oral temperature, making the range of 96.6 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit appropriate. A: 97.6 to 99.6 degrees Fahrenheit - This range is more aligned with oral temperature range rather than axillary. B: 94.6 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit - The lower end of this range is too low for normal body temperature. C: 98.6 to 100.6 degrees Fahrenheit - This range is too high for axillary temperature measurement and is typically considered a fever.
