Chapter 2 : Settings and Models for Nursing Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client arrives at the physician's clinic in order to receive care for a cough and fever. What type of healthcare institute classification is this client attending?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In in-and-out care, contact with the client is measured in minutes versus hours. Typical examples are office visits, emergency department visits, and therapy sessions with in-and-out care. Short stays provides care to clients who suffer from acute conditions or need treatments that require fewer than 24 hours of care and monitoring. Long-term care provides care to residents for the remainder of their lives. Acute care traditionally occurs in hospitals where clients stay more than 24 hours.
Question 2 of 5
A client will be discharged from an acute care facility but will require home health services to assess the need for assistive devices to aid in activities of daily living and identify issues related to fine motor movements and muscle retraining after a stroke. What referral will home health services make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Occupational therapy will assess the need for assistive devices to aid in activities of daily living and identify issues related to fine motor movements and muscle retraining. Physical therapy will assess the client's mobility after orthopedic surgery, injury, or stroke. Homemaker services will clean, do laundry, and shop for groceries. Speech therapy will provide rehabilitation to clients with speech or swallowing disorders.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following describes the role of the nurse as defined by Florence Nightingale?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Florence Nightingale (1859) described the role of the nurse as putting 'the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him.' Virginia Henderson envisioned the nurse's role as helping people (sick or well) to carry out activities that contribute to health, recovery, or a peaceful death. The American Nurses Association (AN
A) traditionally defined nursing as 'the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems.' In response to an increased emphasis on the science of care, the ANA now acknowledges 'promotion of a caring relationship that facilitates health and healing' as one of the four essential features of contemporary nursing practice.
Question 4 of 5
Which setting has been the traditional site for the nursing work force?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Although hospitals include all levels of outpatient areas (e.g., industrial environments, clinics, same-day surgery units, related diagnostic departments), inpatient units have been the traditional site for much of the nursing work force.
Question 5 of 5
Which type of care is used for clients with terminal illness who have a life expectancy of less than 6 months?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hospices provide care for clients with terminal illness whose life expectancy is less than 6 months. Ambulatory care is also called outpatient care. Skilled nursing care facilities provide skilled nursing and rehabilitative care to people who have the potential to regain function but need skilled observation and nursing care during an acute illness. Intermediate care facilities are nursing homes that provide custodial care for people who cannot care for themselves because of mental or physical disabilities.
