1. Which of the following is not a model centered on occupation?

• A. Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement
• B. Person-Environment-Occupation-Participation
• C. Biomechanical
• D. Model of Human Occupation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, the Biomechanical model. This model focuses on the physical aspects of performance rather than occupation. The Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement, Person-Environment-Occupation-Participation, and Model of Human Occupation are all occupation-centered models used in occupational therapy. The Biomechanical model is more focused on the physical aspects of movement and performance rather than the broader concept of occupation.

2. Which question provides information regarding a child's community mobility?

• A. What is the level of supervision provided?
• B. Can the child leave the house and play with friends?
• C. Is the child being bullied?
• D. Is there equipment available so the child can play with peers?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Choice B directly assesses the child's community mobility by inquiring about their ability to leave the house and engage in play activities with friends. Community mobility involves the child's independence in social and recreational activities outside the home, making this question crucial for understanding their daily functioning and autonomy.

3.

• A. Aspirin 81mg daily
• B. Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg daily
• C. Heparin 5000 units subQ q12hrs
• D. Metoprolol 50mg q8hrs

Correct answer: B

Rationale: For patients who lack risk factors for GI bleeding, combined use of clopidogrel with a PPI, may reduce the effects of clopidogrel without offering any real benefits and thus should be avoided.

4. Which of the following is not considered a part of body language?

• A. Mannerisms
• B. Speech
• C. Posture
• D. Position

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Body language encompasses non-verbal communication cues such as mannerisms, posture, and position. Speech, although a form of communication, is not typically classified as part of body language. Body language mainly refers to gestures, facial expressions, and body movements, which convey messages non-verbally.

5. Which assessment finding, after the dialysate is drained during peritoneal dialysis for a child experiencing acute renal failure, would warrant further action by the nurse?

• A. The dialysate is clear upon return.
• B. The volume of drained dialysate is less than the volume infused.
• C. The child is restless and eager to play.
• D. The child's vital signs remain consistent with those noted during infusion.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A lower volume of drained dialysate compared to the volume infused suggests a possible obstruction or malfunction in the dialysis process. This finding could compromise the effectiveness of the treatment and needs prompt assessment and intervention by the nurse to ensure the child's safety and well-being. Choices A, C, and D are not indicative of complications during peritoneal dialysis. The clarity of the dialysate, the child's behavior, and the consistency of vital signs are not alarming findings that would require immediate action by the nurse.
