Question 1 of 5
A mother calls the nurse practitioner to say, I dont know what is wrong with my baby. He cried all night and kept pulling at his ear. How would the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Infant distress needs targeted response. 'That means his ear hurt. Bring him in to be checked' is correcte.g., ear-pulling and crying signal otitis media, per Taylor's pediatrics, requiring exam (e.g., tympanic redness). Choice A, 'hungry and wet,' dismisses specificse.g., ear focus, not general fussiness. Choice B, 'cry at night, think nothing,' ignores signse.g., pain isn't normal crying. Choice D, 'tummy ache,' misattributese.g., no GI clues like vomiting. A baby tugging an ear all nighte.g., 80% chance of infectionneeds otoscopy, not guesses. Nurses prioritize actionable care over minimization, making Choice C the best, urgent response.
Question 2 of 5
As a child grows, he unconsciously develops a component of self-concept based on the image of role models. What part of the self-concept does this describe?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Role models shape future self. 'Self-expectations' describes thise.g., a boy mimics a firefighter dad, setting 'I'll be brave,' per Taylor's developmental view. 'False self' is inauthentice.g., faking traits, not modeling. 'Evolving self' isn't a terme.g., vague evolution. 'Self-knowledge' is currente.g., 'I'm kind,' not aspirational. Unconscious adoptione.g., courage from a teacherbuilds what he expects to become, a nursing focus for growth. Choice D is correct.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Value clashes between generations signal 'cultural dissonance' e.g., a teen rejects arranged marriage for dating, per Taylor's cultural dynamics, diverging from immigrant parents' norms. 'Cultural expectations' are normse.g., 'Obey elders,' not the conflict. 'Cultural competence' is skille.g., nurses bridging gaps, not kids' shift. 'Cultural modernization' implies progresse.g., tech adoption, not belief rift. A 16-year-old saying 'I'm American'e.g., skipping heritage ritualsshows dissonance, a self-concept stressor. Nurses address thise.g., family tensionas identity forms. Choice C names this accurately.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse always addresses patients by the preferred name when entering a patients home or room. What is the nurse facilitating by this action?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Names affirm identity. 'A sense of self and worth' is facilitatede.g., 'Mrs. Jones' honors her, per Taylor's dignity focus, boosting esteem. 'Reorientation' fits confusione.g., dementia, not routine care. 'Personal strengths' is specifice.g., skills, not name use. 'Negative self-concept' contradictse.g., ignoring names harms. A patient smiling at 'John'e.g., not 'patient'feels humanized, a nursing basic. Choice A is the correct outcome.
Question 5 of 5
Various physiologic mechanisms within the body respond to internal changes to maintain relative constancy in the internal environment. The state that results is called:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Physiologic balance has a name. 'Homeostasis' resultse.g., insulin drops glucose, per Taylor's biology, keeping stability. 'Nirvana' is spirituale.g., not scientific. 'Fight-or-flight response' is acutee.g., adrenaline surge, not constancy. 'Anxiety' is emotionale.g., not a state of balance. A nurse sees temp at 98.6°Fe.g., sweat or shiver maintains ithomeostasis in action, a care cornerstone. Choice B is the correct, foundational term.
