Patient Comfort Questions Shadow Health Questions
Question 1 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 2 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 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
When bottle feeding a newborn you should:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bottle feeding newborns requires safety. Tilting the bottle ensures formula fills the nipple, preventing air swallowing, per infant care guidelines. Burping every 5 minutes is excessive. Saving formula risks bacteria. Propping is a choking hazard. PSWs follow this technique, making it the correct method.
Question 5 of 5
When a client or family ask you how long their loved one has to live, it is best to say:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: PSWs lack authority to predict death. Saying 'I don't know' is honest, deferring to experts, per scope. Choice B shifts abruptly, C involves the nurse well, and D is true but vague. The key picks 'A', aligning with PSW limits, making it the correct response.
