When moving a resident up in bed a nursing assistant must always

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Keep his knees bent at all times. This is essential to prevent strain on the resident's lower back and reduce the risk of injury. Bent knees provide better support and stability during the movement. Keeping the knees straight (choice A) can cause unnecessary stress on the back. Positioning the back at a 60-degree angle (choice B) is incorrect as it may not be suitable for all residents and can lead to discomfort. Positioning the arms tightly together (choice D) is not necessary and may restrict movement. In summary, keeping the knees bent is the safest and most effective approach to moving a resident up in bed.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Diverticulosis. Diverticulosis is a condition where sac-like pouches form in weakened areas of the large intestine. This happens due to increased pressure in the colon, causing the inner lining to bulge out through weak spots. Malabsorption (A) refers to the body's inability to absorb nutrients properly, lactose intolerance (B) is the inability to digest lactose, and peristalsis (C) is the contraction and relaxation of muscles that propel food through the digestive tract. None of these conditions involve the formation of pouches in the large intestine like diverticulosis does.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because cloudy urine after standing may indicate a urinary tract infection or the presence of proteins or blood. Amber-colored urine (A) is normal, indicating proper hydration. Transparent urine (B) is also normal and suggests adequate hydration. Strong odor in urine (C) can be due to diet but is not necessarily a cause for concern. In summary, only cloudy urine after standing (D) raises potential health issues and should be reported to the nurse.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Tinea. Tinea is a type of fungal infection that affects the skin, hair, or nails. Fungal infections are caused by dermatophytes, which are a group of fungi that thrive on keratin. Tinea can manifest as ringworm, athlete's foot, or jock itch. Warts (B) are caused by the human papillomavirus, wheals (C) are raised, itchy welts caused by an allergic reaction, and vesicles (D) are fluid-filled lesions seen in conditions like herpes simplex virus infection. Tinea is the only option directly related to fungal infections.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Tuberculosis. An AIIR is necessary for tuberculosis patients to prevent the spread of the infectious agent in the air. Tuberculosis is a highly contagious airborne disease transmitted through respiratory droplets. Emphysema, bronchitis, and bronchiectasis are not typically transmitted through the air and do not require isolation in an AIIR.
