The Basics of Bioethics Ethical Issues in Cancer Patient Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is an example of a physical cue used to help promote independence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it involves a physical cue that directly assists the resident in completing a task independently. By guiding the resident's hand to bring food to their mouth, the NA is providing a tangible, hands-on support that promotes independence. This type of cue helps the resident learn the physical movement required for eating and encourages self-reliance. Choices B, C, and D do not involve physical cues that directly assist the resident in performing the task. B involves verbal prompting, C involves verbal instruction after the fact, and D involves listing steps without providing physical assistance. These options do not offer the same level of immediate, hands-on support as choice A does.
