"Psychological abuse" (B) specifically refers to harmful behaviors towards individuals, not attitudes. "Apathy" (D) refers to lack of interest or concern, which is not directly related to stereotyping or prejudice. Therefore, C is the most fitting choice.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Pounds or kilograms. Weight is typically measured in units of mass, such as pounds or kilograms. Pounds and kilograms are commonly used in medical and health settings for measuring an individual's weight accurately.

Therefore, the most appropriate and commonly used units for measuring weight are pounds or kilograms.
Question 4 of 5
The Fowler's position means the resident is positioned in a
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 45 to 60-degree angle. The Fowler's position is commonly used in healthcare to promote optimal lung expansion and aid in breathing. A 45 to 60-degree angle allows for improved chest expansion and ventilation. Choice A (60 to 90-degree angle) is too upright and may cause discomfort. Choices C (25 to 40-degree angle) and D (15 to 30-degree angle) are too low to achieve the desired lung expansion and may not provide adequate support for breathing. Thus, B is the most suitable option for the Fowler's position.
Question 5 of 5
__________ hypotension exists when there is a sudden drop in blood pressure when a person stands or sits up.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Orthostatic. Orthostatic hypotension refers to a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing or sitting up. "Ortho" means upright or standing, which is relevant to the context of the question. Severe (B) is too general and does not specify the specific type of hypotension. Multi-faceted (C) and Hyperbolic (D) are not terminologies used in describing hypotension and are unrelated to the situation described in the question.
