Question 1 of 5
A client has been receiving hemodialysis for 3 months. During the history assessment the client reports that they find themselves feeling angry whenever it is time for the dialysis treatment. The nurse can probably attribute this to:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anger during dialysis reflects grief over lost health, a normal reaction per Kübler-Ross. Brain changes lack evidence, personality flaws are judgmental, and denial doesn't fit anger. Grief explains emotional response to chronic illness, making it the attribution.
Question 2 of 5
Medication Calculation: The nurse practitioner prescribes: Trazodone 150 milligrams by mouth at bedtime for insomnia. Trazodone 25 milligrams is available. How many tablets would you administer at bedtime?
Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Formed in 1897, the Nurses Associated Alumnae aimed to oversee training to protect patients from incompetent nurses , addressing unregulated practices of the time.

The Alumnae's focus was patient safety through training oversight, a critical step in professionalizing nursing. This purpose aligns with late 19th-century efforts to elevate care quality, distinguishing it from broader educational or informational roles, making C the correct historical purpose.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse reviews with a student the responsibilities of a student nurse. Which student statement indicates additional teaching is required?

Rationale: Student nurses must check labs , note abnormalities , and monitor charts , then notify appropriate professionals of significant findings. Saying notification is outside scope is incorrect, indicating a need for teaching. This responsibility aligns with safe care coordination, even under supervision.
