Question 1 of 5
What is one of the nursing assistant's responsibilities for tube feedings?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Giving tube feedings. Nursing assistants are responsible for administering tube feedings to residents under the supervision of a licensed nurse. This includes tasks such as setting up the feeding, checking the placement of the tube, monitoring the flow rate, and documenting intake. Inserting tubes (A) should only be done by a licensed nurse. Positioning the resident (C) is important for comfort but not directly related to tube feedings. Cleaning or suctioning the tubes (D) is typically done by the nursing staff or a specialized team.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following violates a resident's legal right to privacy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because sharing a resident's medical information with a friend violates the resident's legal right to privacy. This act breaches confidentiality and exposes sensitive personal details without consent. Choice B documents care, maintaining confidentiality. Choice C respects privacy by providing physical boundaries during care. Choice D protects privacy by following HIPAA regulations. Sharing with a friend is a clear violation of privacy rights.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is the proper conversion of 1445 to regular time?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The proper conversion of 1445 to regular time is 2:45 p.m. To convert military time to regular time, we subtract 12 from the hours if it's past 12 p.m. In this case, 14 - 12 = 2, so it's 2 p.m. The minutes remain the same, so it's 2:45 p.m. A: 2:15 a.m. - Incorrect, as the military time 1445 corresponds to p.m. not a.m. B: 2:15 p.m. - Incorrect, as the military time 1445 corresponds to 2:45 p.m. C: 2:45 a.m. - Incorrect, as the military time 1445 corresponds to p.m. not a.m.
Question 4 of 5
How does a nursing assistant help a resident with the resident's spiritual beliefs?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, as respecting the resident's religion and religious practices is crucial in providing person-centered care. By respecting the resident's beliefs, the nursing assistant acknowledges their autonomy and dignity. Providing information on the NA's specific religion (A) violates the resident's autonomy. Encouraging participation in a roommate's ceremonies (B) may not align with the resident's beliefs. Expressing dismay over the family's choices (C) is unprofessional and disrespectful. Ultimately, choice D promotes a supportive and inclusive environment for the resident's spiritual beliefs.
Question 5 of 5
A localized infection
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. A localized infection is confined to a specific area of the body, leading to signs and symptoms near the site of infection. This is because the infection remains contained and does not spread throughout the body. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because a localized infection does not necessarily exhibit systemic symptoms like fever and chills, spread throughout the body, or always result in fatality. Therefore, the symptoms being near the infection site is the defining characteristic of a localized infection.
