Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Respiratory arrest. When a person's breathing stops, it is termed respiratory arrest, indicating a failure of the respiratory system to function. Cardiac arrest (A) refers to the heart stopping, not the breathing. CPR (C) stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which is a procedure performed to revive someone in cardiac arrest. Choking (D) is a blockage of the airway, leading to difficulty breathing, but it does not necessarily mean the breathing has completely stopped.
Question 2 of 5
In which position is a resident if he is lying flat on his back with his head and shoulders supported by a pillow?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, Supine position, because when a resident is lying flat on their back with their head and shoulders supported by a pillow, they are in a supine position. In this position, the resident's face is facing up towards the ceiling, which helps maintain a neutral spine alignment and reduces pressure on the back. Other choices are incorrect because: A: Lateral position is when the resident is lying on their side, not on their back. B: Sims' position is a semi-prone position with the resident lying on their side with the upper knee flexed, not on their back. D: Prone position is when the resident is lying on their stomach, not on their back.

Question 4 of 5
Which of the following blood pressure readings falls within the normal range?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 9/75. In blood pressure readings, the first number represents systolic pressure while the second number represents diastolic pressure. The normal range for blood pressure is typically around 120/80 mmHg. In this case, 9/75 falls within a safe range, with the systolic pressure of 9 being low but not alarming, and the diastolic pressure of 75 being within the normal range. Choices B, C, and D all have either extremely low or high readings for both systolic and diastolic pressure, indicating abnormal blood pressure levels.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following statements about mealtime is true?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because social interaction plays a crucial role in mealtime, enhancing residents' overall dining experience and well-being. Engaging in conversations and fostering connections during meals can promote a sense of community, reduce isolation, and improve residents' emotional and mental health. Choice B is incorrect because it promotes dependence and undermines residents' independence and dignity. Nursing assistants should support residents in mealtime activities while encouraging their autonomy. Choice C is incorrect as it prioritizes personal conversations over residents' needs and fails to recognize the importance of providing individualized care during mealtimes. Choice D is incorrect because it may negatively impact residents' dining experience by potentially discouraging them from eating. Instead, nursing assistants should offer support and alternatives if meals are unappetizing while respecting residents' choices.
