Question 1 of 5
A client is told that his test is positive, but in fact, the client does not have the disease tested for. Which type of false report is this an example of?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'false positive.' A false-positive result occurs when a test result is labeled positive in error, when the actual result is negative. In this scenario, the client received a positive test result incorrectly, as he does not have the disease being tested for.
Choice A ('positive') is too vague and does not specify that the result was incorrect.
Choice C ('negative') is the opposite of what happened in the scenario.
Choice D ('false negative') refers to a situation where a test result is labeled negative incorrectly, which is not the case in this scenario.
