Which one of the following diets might be ordered for a client with heart disease?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Heart disease diets, like for hypertension, often limit sodium to reduce fluid retention and heart strain, making low sodium ideal, per cardiac care guidelines. Sugar-free targets diabetes, not heart directly. High cholesterol or high sodium worsen heart conditions. PSWs implement such diets, and evidence supports low sodium for heart health, making it the correct choice.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Human growth is physical maturation height, weight, body changes per biological definitions. Psychological , social , and emotional are development aspects, not growth alone. PSWs track physical milestones, making 'Physical maturation' the correct focus.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Grief is a natural response to loss and affects the whole person emotionally, physically , per bereavement studies. It's not the same for all . 'Both a and b' is true, but the key picks 'B', emphasizing holistic impact. PSWs support this, making 'Something that affects the whole person' the correct trait.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Dementia support enhances communication and comfort. Speaking slowly aids comprehension, repeating reinforces messages, and written notes assist memory all evidence-based strategies. Telling clients what they should remember frustrates them, as memory deficits prevent retention, contradicting person-centered care principles. PSWs use positive reinforcement, not blame, aligning with dementia care guidelines like those from Alzheimer's Society, making 'Tell them what they should remember' the correct exception.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Refusal is a client right. Forcing violates autonomy and scope. Warning of sickness pressures unduly. Leaving meds risks misuse. Reporting to the supervisor follows protocol, ensuring oversight, per PSW ethics and facility rules, making it the correct and respectful action.
