Question

exam : providing dressing assistance

1. which action best demonstrates promoting independence through \choice\ when assisting an individual with selecting what clothes they will wear?

pick out a set of clothes for them.
ask them what they want to wear.
ask them if they can assist with undressing.
slowly and clearly explain which clothes they will wear.

1. which request should you first make to an individual who is able to sit upright when assisting them to remove a pullover shirt?

can you sit forward?
can you lie down?
can you lift your arms up?
can you roll to the side?

Explanation:

For question 4: Promoting independence through choice means allowing the individual to have a say. Picking clothes for them (first option) removes choice. Explaining which clothes they will wear (fourth option) also takes away choice. Asking if they can assist with undressing (third option) is about undressing, not clothing selection. Asking them what they want to wear (second option) gives them a choice.
For question 5: When removing a pullover shirt, lifting arms up (third option) is a natural first step. Sitting forward (first option) may not directly help. Lying down (second option) or rolling to the side (fourth option) are not the initial actions for removing a pullover when already sitting upright.

Answer:

1. B. Ask them what they want to wear.
2. C. Can you lift your arms up?
