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.

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.

Question 2 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 3 of 5

Step 2: The patients may perceive the nurse as uncaring because of cultural mismatch and lack of personalized approach. Step 3: Short and concise groups may be seen as rushed or lacking in depth, contributing to the perception of uncaring behavior. Step 4: Overall, the patients are likely to believe the nurse was uncaring due to cultural insensitivity and ineffective communication. Other choices are incorrect as they do not address the cultural aspect and the impact it has on patient perception.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is working in a shelter for homeless men. When planning the care for these clients, the nurse integrates understanding that men who have been homeless for a long period of time often feel a sense of which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: Depersonalization is a common psychological response to prolonged homelessness, where individuals may feel disconnected from their own identity and emotions. Step 2: Homelessness can lead to loss of personal autonomy, resulting in depersonalization as a coping mechanism. Step 3: Depersonalization helps individuals distance themselves from the harsh reality of their circumstances. Step 4: Strong coping skills (B), self-efficacy (C), and fear of failure (D) are less likely as prolonged homelessness can erode self-esteem and confidence, leading to feelings of depersonalization instead.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is working with an adolescent girl who describes herself as a 'compulsive overeater' and presents with a history of using food to cope with stress. The nurse decides to use journaling as an intervention for this patient based on the rationale that journaling will help the patient identify which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because journaling can help the patient become more self-aware of her self-perception and responses to stress. By writing down thoughts and feelings, the patient can identify patterns in her behavior and emotions that contribute to compulsive eating. This self-reflection can lead to recognizing triggers for overeating and understanding how stress impacts her eating habits. Choice A is incorrect because it focuses solely on the frequency of compulsive eating without addressing the underlying emotional triggers. Choice B is incorrect as it emphasizes external factors in the daily schedule rather than internal emotional responses. Choice C is incorrect as it involves external behaviors of others triggering the patient's eating behavior, which may not be the primary focus for addressing compulsive overeating.
