This condition has difficulty in progressing stimuli and new information. Alzheimer`s is the most common form of which of these?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability that becomes severe enough to interfere with daily life. It can affect memory, thinking skills, and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Alzheimer's disease specifically is a progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and eventually impairs the ability to carry out simple tasks.
Therefore, the provided condition of having difficulty in processing stimuli and new information aligns with the symptoms commonly seen in individuals with Alzheimer's disease.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following gives cues to the nurse that the patient may be grieving for loss?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A grieving individual may show a range of cues across different aspects of their life. Thoughts may include constant preoccupation with the loss, difficulties in concentrating, or intrusive thoughts. Feelings may involve sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, or relief. Behavioral cues may include changes in sleep patterns, appetite, energy levels, social withdrawal, or the use of substances. Physiologic complaints can manifest as headaches, stomach issues, fatigue, or other physical symptoms.
Therefore, when a nurse observes cues related to thoughts, feelings, behavior, and physiologic complaints in a patient, it can suggest that the patient is grieving for a loss.
Question 4 of 5
It is important that Nurse Chona records accurately the restless caused by pain and that of hypoxia. Which of the following should be recorded as the restlessness caused by pain?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Restlessness caused by pain often manifests as increased perspiration and constant change of position. When a person is in pain, they may become sweaty or clammy due to increased sympathetic nervous system activity. Additionally, they may constantly shift or fidget in an attempt to find a more comfortable position that can alleviate the pain they are experiencing.
Therefore, it is crucial for Nurse Chona to accurately document these behaviors as signs of pain-related restlessness. Difficulty of breathing (Option
A), increased respiratory rate and blood pressure (Option
B), and increased heart rate (Option
C) are more indicative of hypoxia or respiratory distress rather than pain-related restlessness.
Question 5 of 5
A postpartum client who experienced a vaginal delivery expresses concerns about resuming sexual activity. What information should the nurse provide to address the client's concerns?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B is the most appropriate response when addressing a postpartum client's concerns about resuming sexual activity after a vaginal delivery. Educating the client about the normal changes in sexual desire and response following childbirth can help alleviate anxiety and provide reassurance. It is crucial for the nurse to explain that it is common for women to experience changes in libido, physical discomfort, and emotional adjustments after giving birth. By discussing these normal postpartum changes, the nurse can support the client in understanding that her feelings are valid and that it may take time for her to feel ready to engage in sexual activity again. Furthermore, the nurse can provide information on ways to enhance comfort and intimacy when resuming sexual activity, such as communication with partners, using lubricants, and gradually easing back into sexual activity as desired.
