Question 1 of 5
A client who has a 10 a.m. appointment at an outpatient psychiatric clinic arrives at noon, stating,"I was visiting with my mother." How should the nurse interpret the client's failure to arrive on time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The client is a member of a cultural group that is present oriented. In some cultures, being present-oriented means focusing more on the current moment rather than adhering strictly to schedules or appointments. This cultural perspective values interpersonal relationships and may prioritize spending time with family over punctuality. In this scenario, the client's delay in arriving may be due to cultural norms rather than intentional disrespect or defiance. It is important for healthcare providers to be culturally competent and understanding of different cultural perspectives to provide effective care. Summary: B: The client being passive-aggressive is not supported by the information given. C: The client rejecting traditional medicine is not relevant to the situation described. D: There is no evidence to suggest that the client is defying authority by arriving late.

A group of students is reviewing information about anxiety disorders in preparation for a class examination. The students demonstrate understanding of the material when they state which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Women experience anxiety disorders more often than do men. This is because research consistently shows that women are indeed more likely to experience anxiety disorders compared to men. Factors such as hormonal differences, societal pressures, and biological vulnerabilities contribute to this gender difference.

D: Anxiety disorders are more common in adolescents and adults, rather than in children.
Question 3 of 5
Four teenagers died in an automobile accident. One week later, which behavior by the parents of these teenagers most clearly demonstrates resilience?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because creating a scholarship fund at their child's high school demonstrates resilience by channeling their grief into a positive and productive endeavor that honors their child's memory. This action shows the parents are able to cope with their loss by making a meaningful impact on the community. A: Visiting the grave daily may indicate difficulty moving forward and may hinder the grieving process. B: Returning to employment immediately could be a way to avoid facing the emotional impact of the loss. C: Discussing the accident within the family only may limit the support and healing that can come from seeking help outside the family circle.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is talking with a patient, and 5 minutes remain in the session. Another patient comes to the door of the room, interrupts, and says to the nurse, "I really need to talk to you." The nurse should
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it acknowledges the interrupting patient's needs while respecting the current patient's time. By informing the interrupting patient that the current session has 5 more minutes, the nurse sets clear expectations and boundaries. This approach prioritizes both patients' needs and manages the situation effectively. A: Inviting the interrupting patient to join in the session with the current patient may not be appropriate as it could compromise the current patient's confidentiality and disrupt the ongoing session. B: Directly refusing to talk with the interrupting patient may come off as dismissive and unprofessional, potentially escalating the situation. C: Ending the current session abruptly to attend to the interrupting patient disregards the current patient's time and needs, leading to a poor patient experience.
Question 5 of 5
A group of nursing students are reviewing information about spirituality and religiousness. The group demonstrates understanding of these concepts when they identify religiousness as which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Community participation in common worship. Religiousness involves engaging in activities such as attending religious services, participating in rituals, and sharing beliefs within a community setting. This choice specifically emphasizes the communal aspect of religious practice, highlighting the importance of group participation in worship activities. A: Feeling of connectedness - While feeling connectedness can be a part of religious experience, it is not specific to religiousness and can be experienced in various contexts. B: Way of interpreting life events - This choice refers more to spirituality, which involves personal beliefs and values, rather than specifically religious practices. C: Relationship with a unifying force - While this can be a component of religious beliefs, it does not capture the active participation in community worship that is central to religiousness.
