Question 1 of 5
Which characteristics are most likely in a sexual perpetrator? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: Research shows that the majority of sexual perpetrators are male. Step 2: Societal norms and power dynamics often contribute to male perpetration. Step 3: Males are more likely to have societal privilege and opportunity to commit sexual offenses. Step 4: Gender stereotypes and toxic masculinity can influence male behavior towards sexual violence. Summary: Choice A is correct because statistical data and societal factors support the likelihood of male sexual perpetrators. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the established patterns and research on sexual perpetration.
Question 2 of 5
A man, aged 84 years, was stopped for going through a red light in a small town where he lives. He told the officer, 'It wasn't there yesterday.' He was unable to tell the officer his address and demonstrated labile mood, seeming pleasant one minute and angry the next. The officer took the man home to discuss his condition with the family and found that he has been wandering around the neighborhood, sometimes taking tools from people's garages, saying they belong to him. The family reluctantly agreed that he should go to the emergency department. What cardinal sign of Alzheimer's disease does this patient demonstrate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Agnosia. Agnosia is the inability to recognize or interpret sensory information, such as objects, people, sounds, or shapes. In this case, the patient's inability to recognize the red light, his own address, and the ownership of tools indicates a problem with perception and recognition. This aligns with the symptoms of agnosia commonly seen in Alzheimer's disease. Choices B and C are incorrect. Apraxia is the inability to perform purposeful movements, and aphasia is the loss of ability to understand or express speech. These symptoms are not the primary cardinal sign demonstrated by the patient in the scenario. Choice D, "None of the above," is also incorrect as the patient's symptoms align with the characteristics of agnosia.
Question 3 of 5
The risk for developing the condition is about 50% only if both parents were carriers of the gene that predisposes the condition to their offspring.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. If both parents are carriers of a gene that predisposes a condition, each parent contributes one copy of the gene, resulting in a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit the gene from both parents, leading to a 50% risk of developing the condition. Choice A is incorrect because if only one parent is a carrier, the offspring has a 25% chance of inheriting the gene. Choice C is incorrect as the risk is not 75% when both parents are carriers, but rather 50%. Choice D is also incorrect as the risk is indeed 50% when both parents are carriers.
Question 4 of 5
The main focus of medical management for anorexia is to:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the main focus of medical management for anorexia is not to encourage rapid weight gain, as it can lead to serious health complications. Encouraging the client to eat voluntarily is also not the main focus, as anorexia involves psychological factors that go beyond simple lack of appetite. Teaching more appropriate food choices is not the main focus either, as anorexia requires comprehensive treatment that addresses underlying emotional issues. Overall, the main focus is on a multidisciplinary approach that includes therapy, nutritional counseling, and medical monitoring to address the physical and psychological aspects of the disorder.
Question 5 of 5
Which statement by a parent of a teen with anorexia nervosa suggests a need for further education?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because allowing the teen to skip meals if she feels full can reinforce unhealthy eating behaviors associated with anorexia nervosa. This statement contradicts the essential goal of promoting regular and adequate meal intake to support recovery. Encouraging the teen to eat when not hungry may be necessary to restore normal eating patterns. Choices A, B, and C align with supporting the teen's nutritional needs and recovery process.
