COPD Patient Care Question Questions
Question 1 of 5
This type of tissue covers internal and external body surfaces which include: cutaneous, serous and mucous cells:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, including cutaneous (skin), serous (organ linings), and mucous (tract linings) cells, protecting and secreting as needed. Muscle tissue enables movement, not covering. Nerve tissue transmits signals, not a surface layer. Connective tissue supports and binds, like cartilage, but doesn't line surfaces. Histology classifies epithelial tissue for its protective and lining roles, critical for PSWs in wound care or hygiene, making 'Epithelial' the correct answer over other tissue types with distinct functions.
Question 2 of 5
Where does an obese resident tend to develop skin breakdown?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Obese residents face higher skin breakdown risk in skin folds , where moisture, heat, and friction accumulate, fostering irritation or infection (e.g., intertrigo). Knees and calves are less prone unless pressure is constant. The abdomen may be affected but isn't as common as folds (e.g., under breasts, groin). PSW training highlights monitoring these hidden areas, supported by clinical observations of obesity-related skin issues, making 'Skin folds' the correct and most likely location.
Question 3 of 5
When feeding a resident, the PSW:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Feeding requires focus on the resident for safety and dignity. Standing divides attention, risking choking. Mixing pureed food may overwhelm or confuse taste. Sitting on the bed is unstable and unhygienic. Sitting with eye contact fosters trust, monitors swallowing, and ensures safety, per PSW feeding protocols. This client-centered approach enhances engagement and reduces risks, making it the correct and preferred method.
Question 4 of 5
Which one of the following would be substituted for protein in a vegetarian diet?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Vegetarians replace animal protein with plant sources like legumes beans, lentils rich in amino acids, per nutritional standards. Fish isn't vegetarian. Bananas and celery offer carbs or fiber, not protein. PSWs adapt diets, and legumes align with vegetarian protein needs, making it the correct substitute.
Question 5 of 5
When measuring urine output from a drainage bag, the PSW should:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Accurate urine measurement requires precision. Emptying into a graduate allows exact volume reading, a PSW task per care standards. Resting on the floor risks contamination. Bag markings are estimates, not precise. Flushing directly loses data. This method ensures reliable output tracking, making it the correct procedure.
