Question 1 of 5

Which of the following is a sign or symptom that a resident is experiencing insulin reaction?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because dizziness is a common sign of insulin reaction due to low blood sugar levels. When a resident experiences an insulin reaction, their body may not be getting enough glucose for energy, leading to dizziness. Dry skin (A), fruity breath (B), and feeling full (C) are not typical signs of an insulin reaction. Dry skin is more associated with dehydration, fruity breath with diabetic ketoacidosis, and feeling full with satiety, not low blood sugar levels.

Question 2 of 5

What temperature should the lotion be for a back massage?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct temperature for lotion in a back massage should be warm. Warm lotion helps to relax muscles, improve circulation, and enhance the overall massage experience. Hot lotion can potentially burn the skin, while cold or icy lotion can be uncomfortable and ineffective in promoting relaxation. Warm lotion allows for easier application and absorption into the skin, aiding in the smoothness of the massage strokes and maximizing the therapeutic benefits. Therefore, choice A is the most suitable option for a back massage.

Question 3 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 4 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 5 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.
