Age Specific Nursing Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse and social worker co-lead a reminiscence group for eight elite-old adults. Which activity is appropriate to include in the group?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
A homeless patient diagnosed with a serious mental illness became suspicious and delusional. Depot antipsychotic medication began, and housing was obtained in a local shelter. One month later, which statement by the patient indicates significant improvement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Evaluation of a patients progress is made based on patient satisfaction with the new health status and the health care teams estimation of improvement. For a formerly delusional patient to admit to feeling comfortable and free of being bothered by others denotes improvement in the patients condition. The other options suggest that the patient is in danger of relapse.
Question 3 of 5
A woman tells the nurse, 'My partner is frustrated with me. I don't have any natural lubrication when we have sex.' What type of sexual disorder is evident?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Female sexual interest/arousal disorder. The woman's complaint of lack of natural lubrication during sex indicates a difficulty in arousal, which falls under this disorder category. This is because arousal difficulties can lead to inadequate lubrication, impacting sexual satisfaction. Genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder (A) involves pain during intercourse, not lack of lubrication. Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (C) refers to low libido, not lubrication issues. Female orgasmic disorder (D) pertains to difficulties reaching orgasm, not lubrication problems.
Question 4 of 5
A 10-year-old boy is diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Which assessment finding would the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because a child with gender dysphoria may display behaviors that align with the gender they identify with, such as engaging in activities typically associated with that gender. Tea parties with dolls may indicate the child's preference for activities stereotypically linked to girls, indicating a mismatch between their assigned gender and gender identity. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with typical assessment findings for gender dysphoria in children. B is more related to sexual dysfunction, C is a common behavior for all children, and D is inappropriate and unrelated to the diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
Question 5 of 5
When making a distinction as to whether an elderly patient has confusion related to delirium or another problem, what information would be of particular value?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Medications the patient has recently taken. This information is crucial because certain medications can cause delirium in elderly patients. By reviewing the patient's recent medications, healthcare providers can identify potential drug-induced delirium and adjust treatment accordingly. Spasticity or flaccidity (choice A) is more indicative of neurologic conditions, not delirium. The patient's level of motor activity (choice B) may provide some insight but is not as specific to delirium as medication history. The level of preoccupation with somatic symptoms (choice D) is more relevant to other psychiatric conditions and does not directly help in distinguishing delirium.
