COPD Patient Care Question Questions
Question 1 of 5
Where does an obese resident tend to develop skin breakdown?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Obese residents face higher skin breakdown risk in skin folds , where moisture, heat, and friction accumulate, fostering irritation or infection (e.g., intertrigo). Knees and calves are less prone unless pressure is constant. The abdomen may be affected but isn't as common as folds (e.g., under breasts, groin). PSW training highlights monitoring these hidden areas, supported by clinical observations of obesity-related skin issues, making 'Skin folds' the correct and most likely location.
Question 2 of 5
Which one of the following would be substituted for protein in a vegetarian diet?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Vegetarians replace animal protein with plant sources like legumes beans, lentils rich in amino acids, per nutritional standards. Fish isn't vegetarian. Bananas and celery offer carbs or fiber, not protein. PSWs adapt diets, and legumes align with vegetarian protein needs, making it the correct substitute.
Question 3 of 5
When measuring urine output from a drainage bag, the PSW should:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Accurate urine measurement requires precision. Emptying into a graduate allows exact volume reading, a PSW task per care standards. Resting on the floor risks contamination. Bag markings are estimates, not precise. Flushing directly loses data. This method ensures reliable output tracking, making it the correct procedure.
Question 4 of 5
Accidental poisoning is most common with:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Toddlers and preschoolers are most prone to accidental poisoning, exploring and ingesting items (e.g., cleaners), per safety data like Health Canada's. Elderly or teens have more awareness. Infants lack mobility. PSWs educate families, making this age group the correct answer.
Question 5 of 5
Open-ended questions are elements of good communication because they:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Open-ended questions foster dialogue and storytelling , enhancing communication, per PSW skills. They don't focus on the PSW's story . 'Both a and b' fits, but the key selects 'A', prioritizing conversation. This aids family support, making it the correct reason.
