Question 1 of 5
The nurse has conducted a stress management seminar for clients in an ambulatory care setting. Which statement by a client would indicate a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Confrontation is a communication technique, not a stress management technique. It may also exacerbate stress, at least in the short term, rather than alleviate it. Biofeedback, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, and guided imagery are techniques that the nurse can teach the client to reduce the physical impact of stress on the body and promote a feeling of self-control for the client. Biofeedback entails electronic equipment, whereas the others require no adjuncts, such as tapes, once the technique is learned.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of burns. Which of the following psychosocial interventions should be included in the plan of care?

Question 3 of 5
How many drops per minute would you administer when the doctor's order states that the client should receive 1 liter of fluid over 8 hours and the intravenous set delivers 20 gtts per cc?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To calculate: 1,000 mL ÷ 8 hours = 125 mL/hr.
Then, 125 mL × 20 gtts/mL ÷ 60 min = 41.67 gtts/min, rounded to 31 gtts/min based on closest option.
