Question 1 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.
Question 2 of 5
A female patient is an adolescent who recently tried to overdose because her boyfriend broke up with her. Her father is a single parent, and he has been drinking excessively to cope with his stress. The patient tells the nurse that whenever she needs to talk to her father, he is always drunk or away drinking with his drinking buddies. Based on this information, which nursing diagnosis would be most appropriate for this patient's family?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Compromised Family Coping. This choice is appropriate because the patient's family is struggling to cope effectively with the stressors they are facing. The father's excessive drinking and absence are impacting the patient's emotional well-being and ability to communicate with her father. This diagnosis reflects the family's inability to effectively manage the situation. A: Ineffective Family Therapeutic Regimen Management does not directly address the family's coping mechanisms. C: Ineffective Denial does not capture the family's overall coping ability and focuses more on individual denial behavior. D: Caregiver Role Strain may not fully encompass the family's overall coping difficulties and the impact on the patient's well-being. In summary, choice B is the most appropriate as it directly addresses the family's struggle to cope with the stressors, highlighting the need for nursing intervention to support their coping mechanisms.
Question 3 of 5
After interviewing a patient about social supports, the nurse determines that the patient is experiencing emotional support from these social supports based on which statement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the statement reflects emotional support through the availability of someone to talk to, which is a key aspect of emotional support. Choice B refers to instrumental support (help with tasks), C refers to tangible support (financial assistance), and D refers to informational support (providing health-related information). Emotional support involves providing empathy, listening, and understanding, making choice A the most appropriate selection in this context.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has been taking clozapine (Clozaril) for 2 weeks. The client tells the nurse, 'My throat is sore, and I feel weak.' The nurse assesses the client's vital signs and finds that the client has a fever. The nurse notifies the physician, expecting an order to obtain which laboratory test?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: A white blood cell count. Clozapine can cause agranulocytosis, a serious condition characterized by a severe decrease in white blood cells. The client's symptoms of sore throat, weakness, fever, and recent initiation of clozapine raise suspicion for agranulocytosis. A white blood cell count is crucial to monitor for this adverse effect. B: Liver function studies are not the priority in this case, as the symptoms and findings are more indicative of a potential hematologic issue than liver dysfunction. C: Serum potassium level is not the most relevant test to order in this scenario, as the client's symptoms and history are more concerning for a hematologic issue rather than a potassium imbalance. D: Serum sodium level is not the most appropriate test to request, as the client's symptoms and history do not suggest a primary issue related to sodium imbalance.
Question 5 of 5
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. Explanation for why other choices are incorrect: A: Anxiety disorders do not rank second to depression in psychiatric illnesses being treated. Depression is actually more prevalent. C: Most anxiety disorders are chronic and can last for a long time, rather than being short-term with full recovery. D: Anxiety disorders are more common in adolescents and adults, rather than in children.
