Correct Answer: A

Option B is incorrect because it pertains to a different role of developing menus for long-term care facilities. Option C is incorrect as it refers to providing care for neighbors and children, which is not specific to the sandwich generation.

Question 3 of 5
A resident who is disoriented might not be able to correctly identify the following
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because a disoriented resident may struggle to accurately perceive the current season due to cognitive impairment. This could lead to confusion or incorrect identification. Choices A, C, and D involve more concrete and stable information that is less likely to be affected by disorientation. Residents may still recognize the linen company, administrator's car, and emergency cart locations even if disoriented.
Question 4 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.

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.
