What is the term for matter from the stomach that has come up into and may be ejected beyond the mouth?

A. Walker
B. Water temperature
C. Weakness
D. Vomitus

The correct answer is: D. Vomitus

The term "vomitus" refers specifically to the matter that has been expelled from the stomach through the mouth. This can include food, liquid, and digestive fluids that have been regurgitated. Understanding this term is crucial for the role of a CNA, as recognizing and properly addressing instances of vomiting are essential in patient care. Monitoring vomitus can provide important information about a patient's condition and help healthcare providers assess issues such as nausea, infection, or other gastrointestinal problems. Thus, it is important for caregivers to be familiar with this terminology to communicate effectively and ensure proper treatment and management of patients' health needs.
