Question 1 of 5
What is one type of autoimmune disease?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rheumatoid arthritis. This is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, leading to inflammation and joint damage. Hypothyroidism (Choice A) is a thyroid disorder, not an autoimmune disease. Hepatitis (Choice C) is a viral infection affecting the liver. Gonorrhea (Choice D) is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection, not an autoimmune disease. Rheumatoid arthritis fits the criteria of an autoimmune disease as it involves the immune system attacking the body's own tissues.
Question 2 of 5
What is one helpful way for a nursing assistant to reduce and manage stress?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because seeking help from a supervisor is an appropriate way for a nursing assistant to reduce and manage stress. By reaching out to a supervisor, the nursing assistant can receive guidance, support, and resources to address the sources of stress effectively. This can help in developing coping strategies and creating a healthier work environment. Talking to a resident about her stress (choice A) may not be appropriate as it can blur professional boundaries. Multitasking excessively (choice C) can lead to increased stress and decreased efficiency. Increasing caffeine intake (choice D) is not a healthy or sustainable way to manage stress.
