Which of the following is one way that a nursing assistant can protect himself while working in a facility?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: The NA should report unsafe situations or people to a supervisor. This is important for the safety of both the nursing assistant and the residents. By reporting unsafe situations promptly, necessary actions can be taken to prevent harm. It also ensures a safe working environment for all staff members. A: Keeping valuable belongings locked up is important for personal safety but not directly related to protecting oneself while working in a facility. B: Sharing resident's information with friends violates resident confidentiality and is unethical. C: Limiting visitors in a resident's room is important for infection control, but it is not a direct way to protect the nursing assistant.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Safety belts. Safety belts are used on stretchers to secure the person in place and prevent them from falling off during transport. They are essential for the safety of the individual being transported. Safety stirrups (A) are used for leg support during medical procedures, not for securing a person on a stretcher. Safety sheets (B) are used for patient transfer and positioning, not for securing them on a stretcher. Safety tray (D) is not a common safety device used on stretchers.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A (120/85) because it falls within the elevated blood pressure range according to the American Heart Association guidelines. The top number (systolic pressure) of 120 is considered elevated (120-129) and the bottom number (diastolic pressure) of 85 is within the elevated range (80-89). Choice B (110/76) falls within the normal range for blood pressure. Choice C (118/72) also falls within the normal range. Choice D (114/66) has a systolic pressure within the normal range but a diastolic pressure below the normal range, therefore not considered elevated.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: 1. Placing the specimen into a biohazard bag inside the room minimizes the risk of contamination outside. 2. Biohazard bags are specifically designed to contain hazardous materials safely. 3. Handling the specimen inside the room reduces the chances of spreading potential pathogens. 4. Following proper protocol ensures the safety of both the resident and healthcare workers. Summary: B: Placing the specimen into a biohazard bag when outside the room increases the risk of contamination during transport. C: Collecting the specimen outside the resident's room may lead to exposure to infectious agents. D: Transferring the specimen outside of the room while keeping gloves on can still lead to contamination of the surrounding area.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Testicular cancer is a common form of cancer in younger men. This is because testicular cancer primarily affects men between the ages of 15 to 44. It is one of the most common forms of cancer in this age group. The other choices are incorrect because: A) Testicular cancer does not begin within the ovaries, as it specifically affects the testicles in men; C) Testicular cancer is not similar to chlamydia, which is a sexually transmitted infection caused by bacteria; D) Testicular cancer can be detected through self-exams and does not necessarily require a doctor's exam for detection.
