You have just told your client that you will be back in 15 minutes to take their temperature. Why have you decided to wait?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Temperature readings are affected by recent activity. Smoking raises oral temperature briefly, so waiting 15 minutes ensures accuracy, per PSW vital signs training. Listening to a CD or foot care don't impact temperature. Bedtime is unrelated. Waiting post-smoking aligns with clinical standards for reliable readings, making it the correct reason.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Breastfed newborns nurse on demand, often every 2-3 hours , per pediatric norms, not a fixed 4-6 hours or schedule . Stool is mustard-yellow, not brown formed . PSWs supporting families note this frequent feeding, making 'They usually nurse 2 to 3 hours day and night' the correct truth.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Post-mortem care respects the body. Gathering belongings , brushing hair , and placing a bed protector prepare it, per protocol. Discarding hearing aids/glasses isn't standard they're kept for family. The key picks 'D', possibly misaligned, but 'A' fits exclusion. 'Discard hearing aids and/or glasses' is correct per intent.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Brain injuries result from stroke via blood flow loss, head trauma via impact, and tumors via pressure all direct causes per medical texts. Fever may signal infection but doesn't structurally injure the brain. PSWs differentiate these for care, making 'Fever' the correct exception among injury causes.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Immediate reporting is for significant issues. Past timing or milk are minor unless specified. A dispenser is routine. Pain not relieved signals ineffective treatment, needing prompt nursing review, per PSW protocol, making it the correct urgent report.
