Basic Care Needs of Patients Questions
Question 1 of 5
What information does a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) contain?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Description of emergency response actions. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a document that provides information about the hazards of a chemical product, including emergency response procedures in case of accidents or exposure. This information is crucial for ensuring the safety of individuals handling the chemical. Incorrect choices: A: Costs of the chemical - SDS does not typically include information on the costs of the chemical as it focuses on safety and health hazards. B: Comparisons with other chemicals - SDS does not usually provide comparisons with other chemicals but focuses on the specific hazards and safety measures for the chemical in question. C: Names of other facilities using the chemical - SDS does not list names of other facilities but instead provides information on the hazards and proper handling of the chemical.
Question 2 of 5
Lack of sleep can cause
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Increased irritability. Lack of sleep disrupts mood regulation and can lead to increased irritability due to heightened emotional reactivity and decreased tolerance for stressors. This is supported by research showing that sleep deprivation negatively impacts emotional regulation. The other choices are incorrect because lack of sleep actually causes decreased mental function, slower reaction time, and weakened immune system function.
Question 3 of 5
A resident who is ambulatory can
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because being ambulatory means the ability to walk. Thus, a resident who is ambulatory can get out of bed and walk. This is a basic functional ability associated with ambulation. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the concept of ambulatory status. Feeding oneself, remembering who and where one is, and speaking clearly are important skills but not specifically tied to ambulation.
Question 4 of 5
Common symptoms of a fever include
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Muscle aches. Fever often causes muscle aches due to the body's inflammatory response to infection. This is a common symptom as elevated body temperature can lead to muscle discomfort. Sleepiness (B) is a possible symptom but not as specific to fever. Slow movements (C) are not directly caused by fever. Nausea (D) can be a symptom of fever, but muscle aches are more commonly associated with it.
Question 5 of 5
_____ help(s) the body grow new tissue and enable(s) tissue repair.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Proteins are the correct answer because they are essential for tissue growth and repair. Proteins provide the building blocks (amino acids) necessary for cell regeneration and repair processes. Fats primarily serve as an energy source, carbohydrates are mainly for energy production, and while water is crucial for overall bodily functions, it does not directly facilitate tissue growth and repair like proteins do.
