CAVIT Direct Care Worker Fundamentals Practice Exam

The correct choice identifies bodily temperature being over 100°F as an objective sign of a health issue. Objective signs are measurable and observable phenomena that can be confirmed by a clinician or healthcare worker. In this case, a temperature above 100°F can be quantitatively measured using a thermometer, making it a clear indicator of a potential health problem, such as an infection or illness.

In contrast, the other options are subjective and depend on personal experience or perception. A client expressing feelings of dizziness, frustration with therapy, or a family member discussing concerns are based on individuals' interpretations, feelings, or opinions and cannot be measured or observed in a concrete way. Therefore, these responses lack the objective certainty needed to constitute a recognized sign of a health issue according to health care standards.
