Question 3 of 5
When the nurse asks the client to restate the following in his or her own words, which sensorium and intellectual process is the nurse attempting to identify? The nurse states, 'A stitch in time saves nine.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When the nurse states, 'A stitch in time saves nine,' and asks the client to restate it in his or her own words, the nurse is assessing the client's ability to use abstract thinking. The client's orientation is recognizing person, place, and time. The client's memory, both recent and remote, can be assessed by asking the client questions that have verifiable answers. The client's ability to concentrate can be assessed by asking the client to perform certain tasks including spelling the word 'world' backward.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse plans to assess a patient's self-concept in the admission assessment knowing that self-concept influences which of the following? Select one that does not apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Self-concept is the way one views oneself in terms of personal worth and dignity. The client's description of self in terms of physical characteristics gives the nurse information about the client's body image. Also included in an assessment of self-concept are the emotions that the client frequently experiences and whether or not the client is comfortable with those emotions. The nurse also must assess the client's coping strategies. Cognitive processing and response to medications are biologically based.

Rationale: The client displayed ideas that were loosely associated to one another. Tangential thinking is manifested by wandering off the topic and never providing the information requested. Ideas of reference are the client's inaccurate interpretation that general events are personally directed to him or her. Word salad is a flow of unconnected words that convey no meaning to the listener.
