Question 1 of 5
A client diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder is admitted for social skills training. Which information should be taught by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: How to make eye contact when communicating. This is essential for individuals with schizoaffective disorder to improve their social interactions. Making eye contact shows attentiveness and engagement, enhancing communication skills. Deep breathing techniques (B) may help manage stress but are not directly related to social skills training. Knowing the side effects of medications (A) is important but not the priority for social skills training. Being a leader (D) requires advanced skills and may not be suitable for all individuals with schizoaffective disorder.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse should assess every client to determine if stress reduction interventions should be part of the plan of care. The rationale for this action is that:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because stress can affect individuals unpredictably, making it essential to assess each client's stress levels. This allows for tailored interventions to address their unique stressors. Choice A is incorrect as stress levels vary among individuals. Choice C is incorrect because not all clients develop maladaptive coping strategies. Choice D is incorrect as the increase in mental illness prevalence does not directly correlate with the need for stress reduction interventions.
Question 3 of 5
The student nurse has earned 'As' in all of her prerequisite courses. For the first exam in a nursing course, she earns a 'D' and now feels that she may not be smart enough to become a nurse. What type of 'loss' is the student experiencing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Perceived loss. The student is experiencing a perceived loss because she believes she is not smart enough to become a nurse based on one exam grade. This type of loss is based on the student's perception or belief rather than an actual loss of a tangible item or ability. It is a subjective interpretation of the situation, leading to feelings of inadequacy. A: Actual loss refers to a tangible loss of something concrete, which is not the case here. C: Physical loss pertains to the loss of a physical object or ability, which is not applicable in this situation. D: Situational loss involves a loss due to a specific situation or event, but in this case, the loss is more about the student's perception of her ability rather than a situational factor.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is about to administer a new medication to a patient. Which action best demonstrates awareness of safe, proficient nursing practice?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer, C, demonstrates awareness of safe, proficient nursing practice because it focuses on assessing the appropriateness of the medication and dose for the patient. This step ensures patient safety by verifying that the medication is suitable for the individual's condition and that the dosage is correct. It involves critical thinking and clinical judgment, aligning with the principles of patient-centered care and medication safety. Choices A and D are important steps in medication administration but do not directly address the crucial aspect of assessing the appropriateness of the medication for the patient. Checking the medication cart (A) ensures availability but does not guarantee suitability. Identifying the patient (D) is essential for patient safety but does not evaluate the medication itself. Choice B, checking the dose with another nurse, is a valuable safety measure to prevent medication errors but does not address the broader aspect of assessing the overall appropriateness of the medication for the specific patient's needs.
Question 5 of 5
When the nurse is administering furosemide 40 mg IV push to a client in congestive heart failure (CHF), what phase of the nursing process does this represent?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Implementation. This is because administering furosemide 40 mg IV push is a direct action taken by the nurse based on the planned interventions to manage the client's CHF symptoms. During the implementation phase, the nurse carries out the planned interventions to achieve the client's desired outcomes. A: Assessment is incorrect because administering medication is not part of the assessment phase, which involves gathering data about the client's condition. B: Planning is incorrect because administering medication is not part of the planning phase, which involves developing a care plan based on the assessment data. D: Evaluation is incorrect because administering medication is not part of the evaluation phase, which involves assessing the outcomes of the interventions implemented.
