Question 1 of 5
A client has been admitted to the inpatient psychiatric facility as part of a court-ordered program. The client was arrested numerous times over the past several months for exposing his genitals and masturbating in public in front of an elementary school. The nurse interprets this behavior as reflecting which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Exhibitionism. Exhibitionism involves the intense and recurrent sexual arousal from exposing one's genitals to an unsuspecting person. In this case, the client's behavior of exposing his genitals and masturbating in public in front of an elementary school aligns with the characteristics of exhibitionism. The behavior is deliberate and aimed at shocking or surprising others for sexual gratification. Incorrect Choices: A: Frotteurism - Involves touching or rubbing against a non-consenting person for sexual gratification. This behavior is different from what the client in the scenario is exhibiting. C: Sexual masochism - Involves deriving sexual pleasure from receiving pain or humiliation. This is not applicable to the behavior described in the scenario. D: Voyeurism - Involves observing an unsuspecting person who is naked or engaged in sexual activity. This does not match the client's behavior of exposing himself in public.
Question 2 of 5
A 34-year-old client with depression is admitted to an inpatient psychiatric unit. The nurse enters her room and initiates interaction with the client. When talking with the client, which approach would be least appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Animated and cheerful manner. In a psychiatric setting, being overly cheerful can be perceived as insincere or dismissive of the client's feelings. Step 1: Establishing rapport with a quiet and empathetic manner is important to build trust and show understanding. Step 2: A matter-of-fact manner helps convey information clearly and concisely. Step 3: A respectful, direct manner is crucial for setting boundaries and maintaining professionalism. Overall, being overly cheerful may not align with the client's emotional state and could hinder the therapeutic relationship.
Question 3 of 5
Which statement made by a patient demonstrates acceptance of criteria required of hospice care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because acceptance of the terminal nature of the illness is a key criterion for hospice care eligibility. By acknowledging that there is no cure for their illness and accepting this fact, the patient demonstrates understanding and readiness for the supportive care provided by hospice. Choices A, C, and D focus on personal preferences and concerns rather than acceptance of the terminal condition, making them incorrect in the context of hospice care criteria.
Question 4 of 5
A community health nurse is teaching a group of adults about the importance of health screenings. The nurse should include that African American males are almost twice as likely as Caucasian males to experience which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Stroke. African American males are almost twice as likely as Caucasian males to experience strokes due to various risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and genetic predisposition. This is supported by research and statistics showing the disparity in stroke incidence among different racial groups. Incorrect Choices: A: Testicular cancer - There is no significant racial disparity in testicular cancer incidence between African American and Caucasian males. B: Obesity - While African Americans have higher rates of obesity compared to Caucasians, it is not specifically stated that African American males are almost twice as likely as Caucasian males to be obese. D: Melanoma - There is no evidence suggesting that African American males are almost twice as likely as Caucasian males to experience melanoma.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is providing follow-up care to victims of a disaster that occurred several months ago. Assessment of which of the following would lead the nurse to suspect that the victims are experiencing possible aftereffects of the disaster?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Unexplained gastrointestinal disturbance. Victims of a disaster may experience ongoing stress and anxiety, leading to gastrointestinal disturbances like nausea, diarrhea, or stomach pain. This can be a manifestation of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or ongoing psychological impact. Tachycardia (choice A) and profuse perspiration (choice B) are more immediate physiological responses to stress and may not necessarily indicate ongoing effects. Tremors (choice D) are often associated with neurological conditions rather than psychological trauma. Therefore, choice C is the most likely indicator of possible aftereffects of the disaster in this scenario.
