Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse notes that a staff nurse delegates an unfair share of tasks to the assistive personnel (AP) and the nurses on next shift report the staff nurse frequently leaves tasks uncompleted. Which of the following statements should the charge nurse make to resolve this conflict?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: The charge nurse needs to address the issue directly and professionally with the staff nurse. Step 2: Statement A is the correct choice as it focuses on discussing unit expectations regarding delegation and task completion. Step 3: This approach promotes open communication, sets clear expectations, and provides an opportunity for improvement. Step 4: Option B is incorrect as it involves hearsay and does not address the issue directly. Step 5: Option C is not the best approach as it uses a threatening tone instead of fostering a constructive dialogue. Step 6: Option D is judgmental and accusatory, which can escalate the conflict instead of resolving it. Step 7: By choosing statement A, the charge nurse can effectively address the situation and guide the staff nurse towards better delegation and task completion practices.
Question 2 of 5
In qualitative research, a guiding principle in deciding sample size is:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Data saturation. In qualitative research, data saturation is the point where new data no longer brings additional insights or changes in themes. This principle guides sample size determination as it ensures enough data is collected to reach this saturation point, leading to a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon under study. Effect size (A) is more relevant in quantitative research, while the number of variables (B) and sub-group analysis (D) are factors that may influence the complexity of the study but are not directly related to determining sample size in qualitative research.
Question 3 of 5
Sleep comfort, wrong.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Make patient tired before sleeping. This is because physical and mental exhaustion can improve sleep quality. By engaging in activities that make the patient tired, such as exercise or mental stimulation, they are more likely to fall asleep faster and have a deeper, more restful sleep. Providing milk, as in choice B, may be relaxing for some individuals, but it is not a guaranteed method to improve sleep comfort. Choice C and D are left blank, as they do not offer any relevant information related to improving sleep comfort.
Question 4 of 5
Two adult siblings are caring for their ill mother, who requires 24-hour care: she needs assistance with feeding, bathing, and toileting. One of the siblings takes time to exercise after work. The other sibling goes directly to the mother's home before and after work each day. The nurse recognizes that people may react differently to the same stressors depending on various factors. What are some of these factors? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Amount of perceived stress. This is because individuals may react differently to stressors based on how they perceive the level of stress they are experiencing. Factors such as previous experiences, personality, and support systems can influence how stress is perceived. Hair color (B) and skin type (D) are not relevant factors in how individuals react to stress. Individual coping skills (C) are important, but they are more about how individuals manage stress rather than how they initially perceive it.
Question 5 of 5
When assessing a patient with chronic lung disease, the nurse finds a sudden onset of agitation and confusion. Which action should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct action is to assess vital signs and pulse oximetry first. This is essential to determine if the patient's agitation and confusion are due to hypoxia, a common complication in chronic lung disease. Monitoring the patient every 10-15 minutes (choice A) may delay identifying and addressing the underlying issue. Notifying the healthcare provider immediately (choice B) is important but assessing the patient's condition takes precedence. Attempting to calm and reassure the patient (choice C) is helpful but not the priority when the patient's safety is at risk. Assessing vital signs and pulse oximetry (choice D) is crucial for immediate intervention if hypoxia is detected.
