Question 2 of 5
3 Which of the following is the best example of using proper telephone etiquette at work?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it demonstrates proper telephone etiquette by starting with a polite greeting ("Good afternoon"), identifying the company and oneself ("Hartman Skilled Care Facility, Brenda Johnson speaking"), and inviting the caller to start the conversation. This approach sets a professional tone and shows respect to the caller. Choice A is incorrect because it violates confidentiality by sharing personal information about a resident. Choice C is inappropriate as it is dismissive and unprofessional. Choice D is also incorrect as it discloses negative information about a former employee, which is not professional or relevant to the caller's inquiry.
Question 3 of 5
Jenna knows that Mr. Warren, one of her residents, is very excited about an upcoming visit from his daughter. She takes a little extra time to help him get ready and tells him how good he looks. Which kind of need is Jenna helping her resident to meet?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Jenna is helping Mr. Warren meet his need for self-esteem by making him feel good about himself before his daughter's visit. Self-esteem refers to feeling valued and confident, which Jenna's actions promote. This is evident as she compliments him and boosts his self-confidence. It is not a physical need as she is not addressing his basic physical requirements. Safety and security needs relate to feeling safe and protected, which are not directly addressed in this situation. Self-actualization refers to achieving one's full potential, which is not the focus here. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer as Jenna is fulfilling Mr. Warren's need for self-esteem through her supportive actions.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following increases the risk of infection in older adults?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Catheter use. Older adults are more prone to infections due to weakened immune systems. Catheter use increases the risk of urinary tract infections in this population. Thicker skin (A) actually reduces infection risk. Higher fluid intake (B) and stronger appetite (C) are beneficial for overall health but do not directly increase infection risk.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following needs to be disposed of in a biohazard container?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Sharps. Sharps, such as needles and blades, need to be disposed of in a biohazard container because they can puncture skin and potentially transmit infections. Other choices are incorrect because trash, aluminum cans, and food do not pose the same level of biological hazard as sharps. Trash can be disposed of in regular bins, aluminum cans can be recycled, and food waste can be composted or disposed of in designated bins. Sharps require special handling to prevent injuries and contamination, hence the need for a biohazard container.
