Question 2 of 5
What question by the nurse leader is helpful in managing a monopolizing member of a group?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it shifts the focus away from the monopolizing member and encourages participation from others, balancing the group dynamic. By asking who else would like to share feelings about the issue, the nurse leader promotes equal participation and prevents one member from dominating the discussion.
A is incorrect because it directly addresses the monopolizing member's emotions, potentially escalating the situation.
B is incorrect because it only addresses the individual's process, not the group dynamic.
C is incorrect because it delves into personal experiences, which may not be relevant to the group's discussion.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class at a community health center on the topic of attributes that influence good health in the adult population. Which of the following would the nurse correlate with being married?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because research shows that married men are more likely to be overweight or obese compared to single men. This can be due to shared meals, decreased physical activity, or emotional support leading to weight gain.
Choice A is incorrect as studies suggest that married individuals engage in fewer health-risk behaviors.
Choice B is incorrect because being married has been associated with lower levels of stress.
Choice C is incorrect as married individuals generally consume less alcohol and smoke less due to social support and influences.
Question 4 of 5
A woman comes to the clinic for a routine visit. While interviewing the client and obtaining a sexual history, the client states, 'I've always wondered what is happening in my body when I become sexually aroused.' The nurse would incorporate an understanding of which of the following as the control mechanism?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Parasympathetic nervous system. When a person becomes sexually aroused, the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for promoting relaxation and increasing blood flow to the genital area, facilitating arousal. This physiological response is a part of the body's control mechanism for sexual arousal. The sympathetic nervous system (choice
A) is responsible for the fight or flight response and not directly involved in sexual arousal control. The endocrine system (choice
B) regulates hormone production but is not the primary control mechanism for sexual arousal. The central nervous system (choice
D) includes the brain and spinal cord but is not the specific control mechanism for sexual arousal.
Question 5 of 5
A patient is experiencing hallucinations and delusions. The nurse would expect the physician to order which class of drug?

Antipsychotic drugs target the symptoms of psychosis by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, reducing hallucinations and delusions. Mood stabilizers (
A) are used for bipolar disorder, antianxiety agents (
C) treat anxiety, and stimulants (
