Which of the following behaviors violates Residents' Rights?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because sharing personal information about residents violates their right to privacy and confidentiality. Residents have the right to keep their personal information private. Choices B, C, and D promote residents' rights by ensuring their well-being, autonomy, and respect for personal choices. Helping a resident resolve a complaint (B) shows advocacy, informing a resident about a change of roommate (C) respects their right to be informed, and encouraging a resident to choose clothing (D) supports their autonomy.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Laura is displacing her anger from being reprimanded onto the resident. Displacement involves redirecting emotions from the original source to a less threatening target. This is evident as Laura's anger towards her supervisor is being expressed towards the resident. Regression (B) involves reverting to an earlier stage of development, which is not applicable here. Denial (C) is refusing to accept reality, unrelated to the scenario. Rationalization (D) involves justifying behavior, which is not seen in Laura's actions. Thus, the correct answer is A: Displacement.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it prioritizes the safety and well-being of the resident. By removing the resident from the situation immediately, the nursing assistant ensures that the abuse stops and the resident is protected. Reporting it to the nurse is crucial as the nurse is responsible for escalating the issue to the appropriate authorities for further investigation and intervention. Choice B is incorrect as ignoring the abuse enables the perpetrator to continue harming the resident. Choice C is incorrect as disclosing the abuse to the family may not lead to immediate action and can compromise the investigation. Choice D is incorrect as confronting the abuser puts the nursing assistant at risk and may escalate the situation.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Wear gloves. This is important to prevent the spread of germs and protect the nursing assistant from potential infections. Gloves create a barrier between the dirty linen and the assistant's skin, minimizing the risk of contamination. A: Carrying it close to the uniform can lead to cross-contamination as the dirty linen may come into contact with the assistant's clothing, potentially spreading germs. C: Folding or rolling it so the dirty area is on the outside is not sufficient to prevent the spread of germs, as the assistant may still come in contact with the contaminated area. D: Shaking the linen can release particles into the air, increasing the risk of inhalation or spreading germs around the environment.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Oxygen is a dangerous fire hazard. Oxygen supports combustion, making it highly flammable and can lead to fires or explosions in the presence of a spark or flame. Special safety precautions are necessary to prevent accidents. Incorrect choices: A: Oxygen is not primarily used as a medication, and its cost is not the reason for special safety precautions. C: Oxygen levels do not need constant adjustment for safety reasons, but rather for medical or environmental purposes. D: While oxygen equipment should be handled carefully, its fragility is not the main reason for special safety precautions.
