Patient Comfort Questions Shadow Health Questions
Question 1 of 5
This type of tissue anchors, connects and supports other body tissues:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Connective tissue anchors, connects, and supports other tissues, including bone, cartilage, and blood, providing structural integrity. Muscle tissue contracts for movement, not support. Nerve tissue conducts signals, not physical support. Epithelial tissue covers surfaces, not connects internally. Connective tissue's diverse roles binding organs, supporting bones are detailed in histology, vital for PSWs in understanding body stability and injury care, making it the correct answer over tissues with specialized, non-supportive functions.
Question 2 of 5
Unusual or inappropriate activity in bank accounts, including signatures that do not resemble the account owner's signature, indicate concern of:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Unusual bank account activity, like forged signatures, points to financial abuse , where someone exploits a client's resources, a common elder abuse form. Physical abuse involves bodily harm, not finances. Psychological abuse affects emotions, not accounts directly. Sexual abuse involves inappropriate physical acts, unrelated to money. PSWs must recognize financial exploitation signs, per abuse training, and this matches legal and care definitions, making 'Financial abuse' the correct concern.
Question 3 of 5
An item commonly found in the home that can be substituted for a non-abrasive cleaner is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Non-abrasive cleaners gently remove dirt without scratching. Vinegar is acidic, potentially harsh. Baking powder is mildly abrasive and absorbent, safely cleaning surfaces like sinks, a common household substitute. Salt is too gritty, and rubbing alcohol disinfects but doesn't clean broadly. PSW household management includes safe alternatives, and baking powder's versatility makes it the correct choice over harsher options.
Question 4 of 5
The purpose of a care plan is to ensure:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A care plan ensures consistent, individualized care , tailoring interventions to each client's needs, per healthcare standards. Uniform routines ignore personal differences. Lab results or doctor's orders are separate records. PSWs follow care plans to deliver specific, reliable care, making 'Consistent care is given as required to individual clients' the correct purpose.
Question 5 of 5
The first step in effective care planning is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Care planning starts with identifying needs , assessing what the client requires (e.g., mobility, hygiene), per nursing process models like ADPIE. Goals follow needs. Deadlines and resources come later. PSWs contribute to this initial step, ensuring tailored care, making 'Identifying needs' the correct first action.
