Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who asks for information regarding organ donation. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct response is C: Your desire to be an organ donor must be documented in writing. This is the correct answer because in order for someone to become an organ donor, their wish to donate organs after death must be formally documented. This ensures that their wishes are legally binding and will be respected. It also helps healthcare providers and family members honor the individual's decision.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: This response does not provide the necessary information about organ donation.
B: Age requirements for organ donation may vary by country or region, but it is not a universal rule.
D: Individuals can opt-out of being an organ donor at any time, so this statement is false.
E, F, G: No information given, so it is unclear if these choices are relevant to organ donation.
Question 2 of 5
A parish nurse is leading a support group for clients whose family members have committed suicide. Which of the following strategies should the nurse plan to use during the group session?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Initiate a discussion with clients about ways to cope with changes in family dynamics. This strategy is important in supporting clients dealing with the aftermath of a family member's suicide as it acknowledges the significant impact on family dynamics. It allows clients to explore and process the changes within the family system and develop coping mechanisms. This approach fosters open communication and mutual support within the group.
Choice A is incorrect because grief is a highly individualized process and establishing a timeline may not be helpful or realistic for everyone.
Choice C is incorrect as it may inadvertently place blame on the deceased and lead to feelings of guilt among clients.
Choice D is incorrect as it can hinder the healing process by suppressing valid emotions and preventing the group from exploring their feelings openly.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who repeatedly refuses meals. The nurse overhears an assistive personnel (AP) telling the client, 'If you don't eat, I'll put restraints on your wrists and feed you.' The nurse should intervene and explain to the AP that this statement constitutes which of the following torts?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Assault. Assault is the threat of harmful or offensive contact without the actual contact occurring. In this scenario, the AP's statement of putting restraints on the client and force-feeding them constitutes a threat of harm, which is considered assault. This is inappropriate behavior and violates the client's autonomy. Battery (choice
A) involves actual harmful or offensive contact, which is not present in this situation. Negligence (choice
C) refers to a failure to exercise reasonable care, which is not applicable here. Malpractice (choice
D) involves professional negligence or misconduct, which is also not relevant in this context.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has a new diagnosis of diabetes mellitus about foot care. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Wear clean cotton socks every day. This instruction is essential for proper foot care in diabetes mellitus as it helps prevent fungal infections and keeps feet dry. Soaking feet twice daily (choice
A) can lead to skin breakdown. Rounding the edges of toenails (choice
B) can increase the risk of ingrown toenails. Using moisturizing lotion between the toes (choice
C) can create a moist environment, fostering fungal growth.
Therefore, wearing clean cotton socks daily is the most appropriate instruction to promote foot health in a client with diabetes mellitus.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to feed a newly admitted client who has dysphagia. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Sit at or below the client's eye level during feedings. This position helps promote proper swallowing mechanics and reduces the risk of aspiration in clients with dysphagia. Sitting at or below eye level encourages proper head positioning and coordination during swallowing.
Choices A and B are incorrect as they do not directly address the physical positioning needed for safe feeding.
Choice D is incorrect as coughing during feedings can help prevent aspiration.
