Providing Personal Care and Comfort Questions
Question 1 of 5
Upholding and promoting 'the resident's bill of rights' for residents of long-term care facilities is the responsibility of:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: All workers uphold the Resident's Bill e.g., privacy per regulations, not just doctors , activity staff , or directors . PSWs ensure rights daily e.g., knocking sharing this duty. Limiting it risks gaps; all contribute to dignity. This collective role empowers PSWs to advocate, ensuring holistic respect, a legal and ethical bedrock in their long-term care work.
Question 2 of 5
Injuring a person's name by making false statements to a third party refers to:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Defamation is false statements harming reputation, unlike battery (B, harm), assault (C, threat), or confidence (D, trust). PSWs avoid this e.g., no gossip per ethics. Misnaming risks legal confusion; defamation fits. This duty protects client dignity, a PSW boundary in professional conduct.
Question 3 of 5
A resident's vital signs are:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A and B recorded and confidential apply to vitals, not always daily . PSWs track e.g., pulse privately per policy. Omitting either risks gaps or breaches; both fit. This duty ensures data aids care safely, a PSW standard.
Question 4 of 5
Which one of the following will not block communication with the resident?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Asking why opens communication e.g., listening unlike dismissing (B, C, D). PSWs use this to connect. Others block; this fits. This approach ensures client feelings shape care, a PSW skill in rapport.
Question 5 of 5
Which one of the following is an example of non-verbal communication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Holding hands is non-verbal e.g., comfort unlike letters , sign , or calls . PSWs use this e.g., touch for feelings. Misnaming risks missing cues; this fits. This aids emotional care, a PSW strength in observation.
