Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing a client with a history of seizures for an EEG. Which instruction should be included in the nurse's teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Avoiding caffeine before an EEG prevents stimulation that could skew seizure activity readings overnight stays, hyperventilation (if ordered), or 4-hour duration aren't standard. Nurses teach this, ensuring accurate brain wave capture, vital for epilepsy diagnosis.
Question 2 of 5
The country where SHUSHURUTU originated
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Shushurutu, an ancient surgical text, originated in India around 1000 BCE, detailing procedures like cataract surgery. Unlike China, Egypt, or Babylonia, India's Ayurvedic tradition birthed this, shaping early medical knowledge. Nursing traces such roots, as ancient practices inform modern care techniques and historical context.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse researcher ensures that a research subject's privacy is protected by which method?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Protecting research subjects' privacy is a cornerstone of ethical nursing studies, achieved through anonymity and confidentiality. Anonymity ensures no link exists between subjects and data, as when identities aren't recorded, safeguarding personal details even from researchers. Confidentiality prevents divulging identifiable information, maintaining trust by restricting access to data. Beneficence maximizes benefits and minimizes harm, while justice ensures fair participant selection both ethical but not privacy-specific. Autonomy respects choice, not privacy directly. These methods e.g., anonymizing survey responses uphold dignity, encouraging participation without fear of exposure. In nursing, where vulnerable populations are common, such safeguards are vital, balancing scientific inquiry with human rights, ensuring ethical integrity and credible, unbiased results that advance care without compromising trust.
