Question 1 of 5
Which of the following should the nursing assistant do when working with a resident who has a visual impairment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Encouraging the resident to use other senses like smell and hearing can help compensate for the visual impairment and improve their quality of life. This approach promotes independence and enhances the resident's ability to navigate their environment. Choice B is incorrect because shouting can be alarming and disorienting for someone with a visual impairment, and it does not support effective communication. Choice C is incorrect because lowering room lighting may not be helpful for a visually impaired resident as they may still require adequate lighting to see objects clearly. Choice D is incorrect because changing the location of familiar objects can be confusing and distressing for the resident, rather than keeping them mentally active.
Question 2 of 5
A resident's weight is measured in
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Pounds or kilograms. Weight is typically measured in units of mass, such as pounds or kilograms. Pounds and kilograms are commonly used internationally for measuring weight. Inches, centimeters, millimeters, and kilometers are units of length, while quarts and gallons are units of volume. Therefore, B is the correct choice for measuring a resident's weight.
Question 3 of 5
The Fowler's position means the resident is positioned in a
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 45 to 60-degree angle. Fowler's position is commonly used in healthcare to promote optimal breathing and circulation. In this position, the resident is elevated at a 45 to 60-degree angle, which helps improve lung expansion and reduce pressure on the abdomen. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the standard range for Fowler's position. A 60 to 90-degree angle (Option A) would be too upright and could cause discomfort, while angles of 25 to 40 degrees (Option C) or 15 to 30 degrees (Option D) may not provide sufficient elevation for the desired therapeutic effects.
Question 4 of 5
__________ hypotension exists when there is a sudden drop in blood pressure when a person stands or sits up.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Orthostatic. Orthostatic hypotension refers to a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing or sitting up. "Ortho" means upright or standing, so it is the most appropriate term. Choice B, severe, does not specify the type of hypotension. Choice C, multi-faceted, is not related to the sudden drop in blood pressure upon changing position. Choice D, hyperbolic, is a mathematical term and not relevant to blood pressure changes.
Question 5 of 5
A _____________ is formed when the end of the intestine is brought out of the body through an artificial opening in the abdomen.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Stoma. A stoma is formed when the end of the intestine is brought out of the body through an artificial opening in the abdomen. This allows waste to pass out of the body when normal bowel function is impaired. Stomatitis (choice B) is inflammation of the mouth and lips, unrelated to the intestine. Hemorrhoid (choice C) is a swollen vein in the rectum or anus, not an artificial opening in the abdomen. Contracture (choice D) is the shortening of muscles or tendons, not related to intestinal function.
