Chapter 7 : Nurse?Client Relationships Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is newly diagnosed with cancer and receiving a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). Upon analysis, the nurse determines that the client is an affective learner. Which type of learning situation would the client learn from best?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An affective learner learns best when the information is presented with consideration of the client's thoughts/feelings, values, or beliefs. Having a client attend a group support meeting with individuals having similar life struggles provides the opportunity for the client to learn how best to live with the new diagnosis and care for themselves. Making a poster with equipment is helpful for a psychomotor learner. Preparing notes and learning online is helpful for a cognitive learner.
Question 2 of 5
A wound care nurse approaches a client to instruct in home care needs. In which clinical scenario would the nurse delay teaching due to learning readiness?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Learning readiness pertains to the optimal time for learning. This occurs when a client is in a state of physical and psychological well-being. Being anxious about an upcoming activity distracts the client from learning. Waiting until after the activity allows the client to be more focused on the teaching. Nurses may decide to delay teaching due to visiting family, eating breakfast, and meeting with a priest, but it is not from learning readiness.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is evaluating the comprehension of a client's knowledge of the subcutaneous administration of an anticoagulant medication. Which method provides the best feedback?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Having the client prepare the syringe and independently administer the injection is the 'show back' portion of learning comprehension because it includes demonstrating the skill. By independently demonstrating, the nurse is able to evaluate the knowledge base and skill. Having the client watch the nurse administer the medication involves teaching, but not performing the skill. Having the client explain the medication and injection site or administer the injection into an orange demonstrates parts of the skill but does not allow the nurse to evaluate the entire skill.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is employed at a diabetic clinic and is assisting a client with maintenance of blood glucose status. When assessing nurse-client responsibilities, which responsibility does the nurse most expect of the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse most expects the client to comply with the therapeutic regimen. The other options are nursing responsibilities.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing a community education program about a new treatment for prostate cancer. At what level would the nurse prepare the distributed educational materials?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When preparing educational materials for the general population, the language or words used should be at the middle school, 7th to 9th grade level.
