Although ambivalence regarding suicidal intent should be taken into account when considering level of
observation in a patient, it indicates a moderate risk, not a severe risk. Close observation should be
employed with patients who profess suicidal thoughts, are unable to commit to a "No Harm" contract, or
experience withdrawal. - CORRECT ANSWERS-Jeremy, a suicidal inpatient, is under close
observation. He is able to be observed at all times by hospital staff during waking hours and when he
sleeps, and is checked on every 15-30 minutes. Which of these reasons would least indicate the need for
this level of supervision?
1. Jeremy has expressed suicidal thoughts. When must you sound fog signals? - CORRECT ANSWERS-
During periods of restricted visibility, such as extreme fog.
What must you do when you hear a fog signal? - CORRECT ANSWERS-If you hear the fog signal of a vessel
you cannot see, slow to a minimum speed until you are sure there is not a risk of collision.
What is the fog signal for a power boat? - CORRECT ANSWERS-One prolonged blast at intervals of not
more than two minutes
What is the fog signal for a sail boat? - CORRECT ANSWERS-One prolonged blast plus two short blasts at
intervals of not more than two minutes
What are the three basic rules of navigation? - CORRECT ANSWERS-1) Practice good seamanship - take all
necessary action to avoid collision, taking into account weather, vessel traffic, and limits of other vessels.
2) Keep a proper lookout - using both sight and hearing, watch and listen for other vessels, radio
communications, navigational hazards, and others involved in water activities.
3) Maintain a safe speed - safe speed is the speed that ensures you have ample time to avoid collision
and can stop within an appropriate distance. Safe speed will vary depending on conditions such as wind,
water conditions, navigational hazards, visibility, surrounding vessel traffic density, and the
maneuverability or your boat or PWC. Always reduce speed and navigate with extreme caution at night
and when visibility is restricted.
,When should you take evasive action? - CORRECT ANSWERS-When approaching another vessel whose
intentions aren't clear
What is the stand-on vessel? - CORRECT ANSWERS-The vessel that must maintain its course and speed
unless it becomes apparent that the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action.
- If you must take action, do not turn toward the give-way vessel or cross in front of it.
What is the give-way vessel? - CORRECT ANSWERS-The vessel that is required to take early and
substantial action to keep well away from other vessels by stopping, slowing down, or changing course.
- Avoid crossing in front of other vessels
- Any change in course and/or speed should be large enough to be readily apparent to another vessel (A
series of small changes should be avoided).
What is the pecking order? - CORRECT ANSWERS-1) Vessels not under command (NUC)
2) Vessels with a restricted ability to maneuver (RAM)
3) Vessels that are constrained by their draft (CBD)
4) Commercial fishing vessels
5) Sailboats under sail
6) Power boats or runabouts
7) Sea planes and paddlers
Sidelights - CORRECT ANSWERS-These red and green lights are called sidelights (or combination lights)
because they are visible to another vessel approaching from the SIDE or HEAD-ON.
- The RED light indicates a vessel's PORT (LEFT) SIDE
- The GREEN light indicates a vessel's STARBOARD (RIGHT) SIDE
Sternlight - CORRECT ANSWERS-This WHITE light is seen only from BEHIND or nearly behind the vessel.
Masthead light - CORRECT ANSWERS-This white light shines forward and to both sides and is required on
all power-driven vessels. A masthead light must be displayed by all vessels when under engine power.
,- On power-driven vessels less than 39.4 feet in length, the masthead light and the sternlight may be
combined into an all-round white light
- Power-driven vessels 39.4 feet in length or longer must have a separate masthead light
- The absence of this light indicates a sailing vessel because sailboats under sail display only sidelights
and a sternlight.
All-round white light - CORRECT ANSWERS-On power-driven vessels LESS THAN 39.4 feet in length, this
light may be used to combine a masthead light and sternlight into a single white light that can be seen by
other vessels FROM ANY DIRECTION. This light serves as an anchor light when sidelights are
extinguished.
When must navigation lights be displayed? - CORRECT ANSWERS-These lights must be displayed from
sunset to sunrise and during periods of restricted visibility, such as fog.
What do you do if you see a RED, GREEN, and a WHITE light while boating at night? (encountering a
power-driven vessel) - CORRECT ANSWERS-GIVE WAY - you are approaching another power-driven vessel
head-on and you both must give way
What do you do if you see only a WHITE light while boating at night? (encountering a power-driven
vessel) - CORRECT ANSWERS-GIVE WAY - you are overtaking another vessel or it is anchored. It is the
stand-on vessel, whether underway or anchored. You may go around it on either side.
What do you do when you see a GREEN and a WHITE light while boating at night? (encountering a
power-driven vessel) - CORRECT ANSWERS-STAND ON (BE PREPARED TO GIVE WAY) - you are the stand-
on vessel. You should remain alert, however, in case the other vessel operator does not see you or does
not know navigation rules.
What do you do when you see a RED and a WHITE light while boating at night? (encountering a power-
driven vessel) - CORRECT ANSWERS-GIVE WAY - you must give way to the other vessel. Slow down and
allow the vessel to pass, or you may turn to the right and pass behind the other vessel.
What do you do when you see only a GREEN light while boating at night? (encountering a sailing vessel) -
CORRECT ANSWERS-GIVE WAY
, What do you do when you see only a RED light while boating at night? (encountering a sailing vessel) -
CORRECT ANSWERS-GIVE WAY - A sailing vessel is always the stand-on vessel except when it is overtaking
What do you do when you see a RED and a GREEN light, but no WHITE light, while boating at night?
(encountering a sailing vessel) - CORRECT ANSWERS-GIVE WAY - you are approaching a sailing vessel
head-on and you must give way
Towing lights - CORRECT ANSWERS-When commercial vessels are towing or pushing a barge, they display
one or more YELLOW lights in place of a sternlight.
Sound signal that tells other boaters, "I intend to pass you on my port (left) side" - CORRECT ANSWERS-
One short blast - TOOT (one short blast) tells other boaters, "I intend to pass you on my port (left) side"
- The other vessel will sound the same signal if in agreement with the proposed manner
Sound signal that tells other boaters, "I intend to pass you on my starboard (right) side" - CORRECT
ANSWERS-Two short blasts - TOOT TOOT (two short blasts) tells other boaters, "I intend to pass you on
my starboard (right) side"
- The other vessel will sound the same signal if in agreement with the proposed manner
Sound signal that tells other boaters, "I am operating astern propulsion." For some vessels, this tells
other boaters, "I am backing up" - CORRECT ANSWERS-Three short blasts
Sound signal used as a warning signal - CORRECT ANSWERS-One prolonged blast - a warning signal (for
example, used when coming around a blind bend or leaving the dock)
Sound signal used to signal danger or to signal that you do not understand or you disagree with the
other boater's intentions - CORRECT ANSWERS-Five (or more) short, rapid blasts
What do gasoline vapors do? - CORRECT ANSWERS-Evaporating gasoline creates vapors or fumes that are
heavier than air. These fumes settle to the bottom of the vessel where they could explode if enclosed
areas, such as the bilge, are not ventilated properly to remove fumes.
