Question 1 of 5
A group of nursing students is reviewing information about barriers to pain management. The group demonstrates the need for additional study when they identify which of the following as a barrier?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Adequate reimbursement. This is the correct answer because reimbursement issues do not typically act as a barrier to pain management. It is important for healthcare professionals to provide pain management regardless of reimbursement concerns. In contrast, fear of tolerance (A), concern for being a good client (C), and reluctance to report pain (D) are common barriers to pain management that can impact patient care and outcomes. Patients may fear developing tolerance to pain medications, may be hesitant to report pain due to concerns about being seen as a difficult patient, or may simply be reluctant to report pain altogether. Addressing these barriers is crucial for effective pain management.
Question 2 of 5
Luc's family comes home one evening to find him extremely agitated and they suspect in a full manic episode. The family calls emergency medical services. While one medic is talking with Luc and his family, the other medic is counting something on his desk. What is the medic most likely counting?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Energy drink containers. Energy drinks are often consumed during manic episodes due to their high caffeine content, which can exacerbate manic symptoms. The medic counting energy drink containers is likely assessing the extent of Luc's consumption, providing valuable information for his medical evaluation and treatment. Hypodermic needles (A) are not typically associated with manic episodes. Fast food wrappers (B) and empty soda cans (C) may not be as directly related to exacerbating manic symptoms compared to energy drinks.
Question 3 of 5
The stage of sleep known as rapid eye movement or REM sleep is characterized by atonia and myoclonic twitches in addition to the actual rapid movement of the eyes. Atonia is thought to be a protective mechanism as it:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: Atonia in REM sleep limits physical movements to prevent acting out dreams and potential physical harm. This is essential for safety during sleep. Myoclonic twitches are natural muscle contractions and do not serve a protective function. Nightmares can still occur during REM sleep despite atonia. Atonia does not directly enhance the dream state or regulate the autonomic nervous system. Therefore, choice A is correct as it aligns with the protective mechanism of atonia in REM sleep.

Overall, D stands out as it shows lack of acceptance and understanding of the loss.
Question 5 of 5
What was the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM) developed to be?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, as the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM) was specifically developed to measure nursing judgment and knowledge of clinical skills. Step 1: The CJMM focuses on assessing how nurses make clinical decisions and apply their knowledge in real-world situations. Step 2: It evaluates critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and clinical reasoning skills. Step 3: It does not primarily measure expert nursing knowledge (A), define scope of nursing practice (B), or regulate nursing education (C). The other choices are incorrect as they do not align with the main purpose and focus of the CJMM.
