Temporary care of a person with a serious illness or disability that gives the regular care-giver a break from their duties is:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Respite care relieves regular caregivers temporarily, unlike chronic (B, ongoing), acute (C, short-term), or palliation (D, end-of-life). PSWs provide this e.g., aiding a family supporting sustainability. Mislabeling risks misapplied care; respite is relief-focused. This role eases caregiver burden, a PSW contribution to family well-being, distinct from treatment types, per their community scope.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Sympathy and pity don't aid adjustment empathy does unlike true skills (B, C) and hope . PSWs use empathy e.g., understanding struggles not pity, which disempowers. Pity risks despair; skills and hope lift. This correction ensures PSWs foster resilience, a key care distinction.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Fluid balance record tracks voiding over 24 hours, not chart , intake , or Kardex . PSWs log this e.g., urine for health. Misplacing risks data loss; balance fits. This detail aids monitoring, a PSW task in care consistency.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Safety comes from devices e.g., call bells unlike insecurity , security (C, broader), or both . PSWs ensure use e.g., access for reassurance. Misnaming risks neglect; safety fits. This supports client confidence, a PSW role in care.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Advising and reporting respects scope e.g., no meds unlike doing it , asking peers , or clients . PSWs stay safe e.g., escalate per policy. Overstepping risks harm; this fits. This ensures client safety, a PSW boundary in practice.
