Question 1 of 5
When a resident feels anxiety it is the same as feeling
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Worried. Anxiety is characterized by feelings of unease, fear, or concern. It is often associated with anticipation of future threats or dangers. Feeling worried is synonymous with feeling anxious as both emotions involve a sense of unease or apprehension. Choice A, combative, implies aggression which is not typically associated with anxiety. Choice B, angry, involves feelings of displeasure or hostility, which is distinct from anxiety. Choice D, excited, implies a more positive and energetic emotion, contrasting with the negative and distressing nature of anxiety.
Question 2 of 5
Vital signs measured when a resident first enters the facility are called
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Baseline vital signs. When a resident first enters a facility, vital signs are measured to establish a starting point for monitoring their health status. These initial measurements serve as a baseline for comparison during the resident's stay. Choice A (Basic vital signs) is too general and does not specifically refer to the initial measurements. Choice B (Initial vital signs) is close, but "baseline" is a more precise term for the initial measurements. Choice D (Instructional vital signs) is incorrect as it does not accurately describe the purpose of measuring vital signs upon entry to a facility.
Question 3 of 5
When moving a resident up in bed a nursing assistant must always
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Certainly! When moving a resident up in bed, keeping their knees bent at all times is crucial to prevent strain on their lower back and to ensure proper body mechanics. This position helps distribute weight evenly and reduces the risk of injury. Keeping the knees straight (choice A) can lead to muscle strain. Positioning the back at a 60-degree angle (choice B) is unnecessary and can cause discomfort. Positioning the arms tightly together (choice D) is unrelated to the safe movement of a resident in bed. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer for maintaining proper body mechanics and preventing injury.
Question 4 of 5
The process of ___________ is blowing air out of the body.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Expiration. During expiration, the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax, causing air to be pushed out of the lungs. Inhaling (choice A) is the process of breathing air into the lungs. Inspiration (choice C) is the act of taking air into the lungs. Hypotension (choice D) refers to low blood pressure and is not related to the process of blowing air out of the body.
Question 5 of 5
What is the disorder in which sac-like pouchings develop in weakened areas of the large intestine?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Diverticulosis is the correct answer because it specifically refers to the disorder where pouches develop in the weakened areas of the large intestine. These pouches, called diverticula, can become inflamed or infected, leading to diverticulitis. Malabsorption (A) is the improper absorption of nutrients, not related to pouching in the large intestine. Lactose intolerance (B) is the inability to digest lactose due to deficiency of lactase enzyme, not related to pouching. Peristalsis (C) is the muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract, not a disorder involving pouching in the large intestine.
