Providing Personal Care and Comfort Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which one of the following is considered a more accurate reflection of a person's feelings?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Non-verbal communication e.g., facial expressions more accurately reflects feelings, often truer than written , verbal , or sign language words, which can mask emotions. PSWs read these cues e.g., a grimace showing pain beyond what's said. Verbal can be rehearsed, but body language leaks truth. This insight helps PSWs respond to unvoiced needs, like comforting a tense client, enhancing care sensitivity, a nuanced skill in their daily interactions.
Question 2 of 5
Upholding and promoting 'the resident's bill of rights' for residents of long-term care facilities is the responsibility of:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: All workers uphold the Resident's Bill e.g., privacy per regulations, not just doctors , activity staff , or directors . PSWs ensure rights daily e.g., knocking sharing this duty. Limiting it risks gaps; all contribute to dignity. This collective role empowers PSWs to advocate, ensuring holistic respect, a legal and ethical bedrock in their long-term care work.
Question 3 of 5
Delivering health care services to aboriginal people on reservations, military persons and veterans is the responsibility of the:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The federal government serves these groups e.g., reserves unlike provincial , municipal , or citizenship bodies. PSWs in these settings follow federal rules. Misidentifying risks service gaps; federal scope is distinct. This context shapes their work, ensuring care aligns with jurisdiction, a key system knowledge.
Question 4 of 5
Injuring a person's name by making false statements to a third party refers to:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Defamation is false statements harming reputation, unlike battery (B, harm), assault (C, threat), or confidence (D, trust). PSWs avoid this e.g., no gossip per ethics. Misnaming risks legal confusion; defamation fits. This duty protects client dignity, a PSW boundary in professional conduct.
Question 5 of 5
A resident's vital signs are:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A and B recorded and confidential apply to vitals, not always daily . PSWs track e.g., pulse privately per policy. Omitting either risks gaps or breaches; both fit. This duty ensures data aids care safely, a PSW standard.
