This is a legal requirement to prevent potential harm or risks to residents. Choice A is incorrect as it generalizes aides as thieves without evidence. Choice B is irrelevant and promotes a negative and unproductive mindset. Choice C is incorrect as it implies a power dynamic unrelated to the actual purpose of criminal background checks.

Question 4 of 5
A resident who is disoriented might not be able to correctly identify the following
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: The current season of the year. This is because the ability to identify the current season relies on memory and awareness of time passing, which can be challenging for someone who is disoriented. The other choices (A, C, D) are more concrete and observable, making them easier for a disoriented person to correctly identify. Choice A relates to a specific service used by the facility, choice C involves a specific object, and choice D pertains to a physical location within the unit, all of which are more tangible and less reliant on abstract concepts like time.
Question 5 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. Ensuring objects left in the sun are cool before using prevents burns and scalds from hot surfaces. 2. Hot objects left in the sun can reach dangerous temperatures, causing burns upon contact. 3. By checking and ensuring objects are cool before using, the risk of burns and scalds is significantly reduced. 4. This practice promotes safety and prevents accidents related to hot surfaces. Summary: Choice B is the correct answer because it directly addresses the prevention of burns and scalds by advocating for the safe use of objects that may become hot when left in the sun. Choices A, C, and D do not focus on the key factor of heat exposure that leads to burns and scalds, making them incorrect options.
