Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Prioritizing.

B: Acting - This choice refers to putting one's values into action, which the client intends to do but has not yet accomplished.

Question 3 of 5
A nursing diagnosis of "Risk for Deficient Fluid Volume" related to excessive fluid loss,secondary to diarrhea and vomiting was implemented for a home health client who began with these symptoms 5 days ago. A goal was set that the client's symptoms would be eliminated within 48 hours. The client is being seen after a week and has had no diarrhea or vomiting for the past 5 days. What should the nurse do?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, "Document that the problem has been resolved and the goal has been met." This is the correct choice because the client has not experienced diarrhea or vomiting for the past 5 days, which indicates that the symptoms have been eliminated. The goal set was to have the symptoms eliminated within 48 hours, and the client has now been symptom-free for an extended period.
Therefore, the nurse should document that the problem has been resolved and the goal has been met.
Choice A is incorrect because the problem has already been resolved, not just prevented.
Choice C is incorrect because assuming the symptoms may return contradicts the fact that the client has been symptom-free for 5 days.
Choice D is incorrect because keeping the problem on the care plan when it has already been resolved is unnecessary.
Question 4 of 5
An unlicensed assistive person (UAP) is working in a rehabilitation unit. Which task would be appropriate for this person to delegate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because according to the principles of delegation, unlicensed assistive personnel should not delegate tasks to others. Delegation should only be done by licensed healthcare professionals who have the appropriate knowledge and training to supervise and manage the task.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as these tasks can be appropriately delegated to UAPs based on their training and competency levels. Making a bed, assisting with bathing, and taking vital signs are routine tasks that can be safely performed by UAPs under the supervision of licensed healthcare professionals.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is identifying outcomes for a client with the nursing diagnosis of Stress Urinary Incontinence. Which outcome would be related to sphincter incompetence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because performing isometric squeezes for 5 to 10 seconds strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, including the sphincter, which helps in controlling urinary incontinence due to sphincter incompetence.
Choice B is incorrect because emptying the bladder completely is not directly related to sphincter incompetence.
Choice C is incorrect as it does not specify a targeted intervention for sphincter incompetence.
Choice D is incorrect since stopping urine flow when voiding is not a specific skill related to strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.
