Basic Principles of Long-Term Patient Care Developing a Therapeutic Community Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is a helpful idea for dietary changes that may promote sleep?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because eating meals earlier in the evening allows for better digestion before bedtime, reducing the likelihood of discomfort or indigestion that can disrupt sleep. This also helps regulate blood sugar levels, preventing spikes that may interfere with sleep. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because drinking soda before bedtime can disrupt sleep due to caffeine and sugar content, being on fluid restrictions may lead to dehydration and negatively impact sleep quality, and eating a heavy meal just before bedtime can cause indigestion and discomfort, both of which can disrupt sleep.
Question 2 of 5
If a resident consumes ½ cup of a fluid how many milliliters (mL) has he consumed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert 1 cup to mL, we use the conversion factor 1 cup = 236.59 mL. Since the resident consumed 1/2 cup, we calculate 236.59 mL / 2 = 118.295 mL, which rounds up to 120 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is B (120). Choice A (60) is incorrect as it is half of 120. Choice C (30) is incorrect as it is half of 60. Choice D (80) is incorrect as it does not correspond to the calculation based on 1/2 cup.
Question 3 of 5
The most important part of testing urine with reagent strips is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the length of time the reagent strip is left dipped in urine affects the accuracy of the test results. Allowing the strip to stay in the urine for too long or too short a time can lead to incorrect readings. Option A is incorrect as it does not impact the testing process. Option B is also incorrect as expired strips may give inaccurate results. Option D is incorrect as the color of the urine does not determine the accuracy of the test, but rather the duration of exposure to the reagent strip.
Question 4 of 5
A yeast infection is a type of vaginitis that is caused by a fungus known as
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Candida albicans. This fungus is the most common cause of yeast infections in the vaginal area. Candida albicans is a type of fungus that naturally resides in the body, but can overgrow in certain conditions, leading to an infection. Staphylococcus (choice A) and Streptococcus (choice D) are bacteria, not fungi, and are not typically associated with yeast infections. Pseudomonas (choice B) is also a bacterium and not the causative agent of yeast infections. Therefore, based on the nature of yeast infections and the known causative agent, Candida albicans is the correct choice.
Question 5 of 5
One function of the blood is to
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Control pH levels. Blood helps maintain a stable pH level in the body by acting as a buffer system to prevent drastic changes in acidity or alkalinity. This is crucial for proper function of enzymes and other biochemical processes. Incorrect choices: A: Remove oxygen from the cells - This is incorrect as blood carries oxygen to cells, not removes it. B: Control blood vessel size - While blood vessels can regulate their size, it is not the primary function of blood. D: Increase body temperature - Blood does contribute to temperature regulation through circulation, but its primary role is not to increase body temperature.
