A Review of Basic Patient Rights in Psychiatric Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is one way to prevent burns and scalds?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why choice B is correct: 1. Burns and scalds can occur when touching hot objects or liquids. 2. Ensuring objects left in the sun are cool before using prevents the risk of burns/scalds. 3. By allowing objects to cool down, the likelihood of accidental burns is reduced. 4. This proactive measure promotes safety in handling hot objects. Summary of why other choices are incorrect: - Choice A: Using lids on cold liquids doesn't directly prevent burns/scalds. - Choice C: Serving liquids while standing doesn't address the risk of burns/scalds. - Choice D: Using the highest settings on hair dryers can actually increase the risk of burns.
Question 2 of 5
In order to lift objects safely the nursing assistant should
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Keep objects close to her body. This is because keeping objects close to the body reduces strain on the back and minimizes the risk of injury. By keeping objects close, the weight is distributed more evenly, making it easier to lift safely. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because keeping objects away from the body can strain the back, lifting above the waist line can put additional strain on the shoulders and arms, and pulling objects instead of lifting can also lead to back injuries.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is normal temperature range for the axillary method?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D (96.6 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) for the axillary method. This range is commonly accepted as normal for axillary temperature measurement. Axillary temperature is typically 1 degree lower than oral temperature, making the range of 96.6 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit appropriate. A: 97.6 to 99.6 degrees Fahrenheit - This range is more aligned with oral temperature range rather than axillary. B: 94.6 to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit - The lower end of this range is too low for normal body temperature. C: 98.6 to 100.6 degrees Fahrenheit - This range is too high for axillary temperature measurement and is typically considered a fever.
Question 4 of 5
What is the term used to describe the condition in which all of the body systems are balanced?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Homeostasis. Homeostasis refers to the state of equilibrium within the body where all systems are balanced. This is crucial for optimal functioning and overall health. Halitosis (A) is bad breath, unrelated to overall body balance. Hemoptysis (B) is coughing up blood, a symptom of a serious medical condition. Hepatitis (C) is inflammation of the liver, also not related to overall body balance. Homeostasis is the only term that directly relates to the balanced functioning of all body systems.
Question 5 of 5
Which condition signifies the end of the female's ability to reproduce?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Menopause. Menopause marks the end of a female's ability to reproduce due to the cessation of ovarian function and hormone production, leading to the cessation of menstruation and egg release. Menarche (B) is the onset of menstruation and fertility, not the end. Micturition (C) is the process of urination, unrelated to reproduction. Masturbation (D) is a self-stimulation activity and has no direct impact on reproductive ability.
