"Explanation:
Daily routine changes for patients won't help them sleep because they won't feel as safe and secure. The other three choices will all support your patients' efforts to get more rest.

"Explanation:
Elderly people's thinking and reasoning abilities are not effected by tuberculosis, which is a chronic illness. Rather of being a chronic condition, tuberculosis is a communicable (contagious) disease (only affects one person). Although the bacterium that causes tuberculosis affects a person's lungs and immune system, it is not known to have an impact on one's capacity for thought and reasoning.
Chronic illnesses including Alzheimer's, arteriosclerosis, and stroke can all have an impact on a person's capacity for thought and reasoning."
"Explanation:
Residents are not affected by an age-related condition that prevents them from learning new skills. In spite of the fact that they can be a little slower, the elderly are actually extremely capable of learning new abilities.
All residents are impacted by the age-related diseases listed below: they are more likely to develop chronic illnesses; their mobility will alter; they will experience visual and hearing loss; their ability to sense pain will be diminished; and they will have different sleeping patterns."
"Explanation:
Procedures for isolation are used to prevent infection. Proper hand washing, handling contaminated goods with care, and the immediate reporting of suspected environmental problems are additional factors that contribute to the spread of infection.

"Explanation:
All of the above changes, with the exception of an increased appetite, are possible in an immobilized patient. A patient who is immobile is more likely to experience a loss in appetite, which could develop into anorexia.
An sedentary patient is also more likely to develop atrophy and osteopenia in addition to the changes already mentioned."
"Explanation:
Diagnosing diabetes is less common among White Americans. Risk factors for chronic illness, which impact some groups of people but not others, are to blame for this. Additionally, it is well recognized that North Americans are the nation most impacted by obesity.
A group's health may also be influenced by factors such as the ease of access to medical care, one's socioeconomic standing, and one's cultural or religious beliefs."
"Explanation:
An incident report must be written for each accident and occurrence. Whether the accident or incident caused injuries or affected patients or not is irrelevant.

"Explanation:
While conducting PROM on a patient won't immediately enhance their nutrition, it will protect their muscles from atrophy, improve their circulation, and extend their range of motion.
Due to their melancholy, dissatisfaction, and sense of helplessness, patients who are immobile frequently need to rely on others. It is your responsibility as a nursing assistant to assist immobile patients in regaining their mobility."
"Explanation:
You would not require a gait belt to reposition a patient in his or her bed since a gait belt is often utilized while ""transferring"" a patient. When helping a patient walk, another situation in which you might utilize a gait belt is that.
A gait belt is a tool that aids in preventing falls in the patient."
