Question 1 of 5
What does the acronym PASS stand for?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Pull-Aim-Squeeze-Sweep. This acronym stands for the correct steps to operate a fire extinguisher. 1. Pull the pin to break the tamper seal. 2. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. 3. Squeeze the handle to discharge the extinguishing agent. 4. Sweep the nozzle from side to side to cover the fire completely. Choices A, B, and D include incorrect steps such as "Push," "Assist," "Squeegee," which are not part of the proper fire extinguisher operation procedure.
Question 2 of 5
The Fowler's position means the resident is positioned in a
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 45 to 60-degree angle. Fowler's position is commonly used in healthcare to promote optimal breathing and circulation. In this position, the resident is elevated at a 45 to 60-degree angle, which helps improve lung expansion and reduce pressure on the abdomen. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the standard range for Fowler's position. A 60 to 90-degree angle (Option A) would be too upright and could cause discomfort, while angles of 25 to 40 degrees (Option C) or 15 to 30 degrees (Option D) may not provide sufficient elevation for the desired therapeutic effects.
Question 3 of 5
__________ hypotension exists when there is a sudden drop in blood pressure when a person stands or sits up.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Orthostatic. Orthostatic hypotension refers to a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing or sitting up. "Ortho" means upright or standing, so it is the most appropriate term. Choice B, severe, does not specify the type of hypotension. Choice C, multi-faceted, is not related to the sudden drop in blood pressure upon changing position. Choice D, hyperbolic, is a mathematical term and not relevant to blood pressure changes.
Question 4 of 5
A _____________ is formed when the end of the intestine is brought out of the body through an artificial opening in the abdomen.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Stoma. A stoma is formed when the end of the intestine is brought out of the body through an artificial opening in the abdomen. This allows waste to pass out of the body when normal bowel function is impaired. Stomatitis (choice B) is inflammation of the mouth and lips, unrelated to the intestine. Hemorrhoid (choice C) is a swollen vein in the rectum or anus, not an artificial opening in the abdomen. Contracture (choice D) is the shortening of muscles or tendons, not related to intestinal function.
Question 5 of 5
One primary responsibility for a nursing assistant helping with a gynecologic examination is to
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because ensuring privacy during a gynecologic exam is crucial for the patient's comfort and dignity. This involves maintaining confidentiality, closing curtains, and providing a gown for the patient. Choice A is incorrect because patient privacy should be prioritized over allowing staff to observe. Choice B is incorrect as it does not address the patient's comfort or privacy. Choice D is incorrect because it is the responsibility of the physician, not the nursing assistant, to communicate the diagnosis to the patient.
