Which initial approach to cue recognition includes responding to
written questions?
C) Self-report
C) Report-by-proxy
@ Direct observation
D) Physical assessment
Rationale
Self-reporting includes either asking questions directly or the client
responds to written questions. The three initial approaches to cue
recognition include self-report, report-by-proxy, and direct observation.
Report-by-proxy includes indirect collection of information, while direct
observation is the collection and recording of both subjective and objective
data. Physical assessment is performed during direct observation.
Test-Taking Tip: Being prepared reduces your stress or tension level and helps
you maintain a positive attitude.
pp. 95-96
,Which ability is an example of an instrumental activity of daily
living (IADL)?
Independent ambulation
Self-toileting
Eating
Telephone use
Rationale
IADLs are functional items that require the high level of cognitive function
necessary for independent living. These items include telephone use, travel,
shopping, meal preparation, cleaning, medication administration, and
money management. Independent ambulation, self-toileting, and eating are
considered activities of daily living (ADLs) and do not require a high level of
cogn itive function.
p. 105
Which information is included in the report-by-proxy stage of cue
recognition?
(D Answers to written questionnaires
C) Reports of other's observations
@ Responses to direct questioning
(D Results of performance evaluation
Rationale
In the report-by-proxy approach to cue recognition, information is gathered
indirectly by asking another person to report client related observations.
Written questionnaires and direct questioning are options for self-
, reporting, whereas performance evaluation would be information gathered
through direct observation.
Test-Taking Tip: The night before the examination you may wish to review
some key concepts that you believe need additional time, but then relax and
get a good night's sleep. Remember to set your alarm, allowing yourself
plenty of time to dress comfortably (preferably in layers, depending on the
weather), have a good breakfast, and arrive at the testing site at least 15 to
30 minutes early.
pp. 95-96
Which diagnostic instrument is a mainstay in the identification
and analysis of cognitive ability cues?
@ Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
(D The Mini-Cog
O Global-Deterioration Scale
(D Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
Rationale
The 30-ltem Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a widely used
standardized tool for gross recognition and analysis of cues relating to
cognitive ability. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is similar to
the MMSE but has limitations related to both culture and client knowledge
and abilities. The Mini-Cog combines the MMSE and the Clock Drawing Test.
The Global-Deterioration Scale is used to track progressive decline with
dementia.
