Introduction to Nursing Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse asks a patient to tell him the side effects of a medication. What learning domain is the nurse evaluating?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: cognitive. The nurse is evaluating the patient's knowledge and understanding of the side effects of a medication, which falls under the cognitive domain of learning. Cognitive domain involves mental skills like comprehension, analysis, and synthesis. The patient's ability to recall and explain the side effects demonstrates cognitive learning. Incorrect choices: A: affective - This domain relates to emotions, attitudes, and values, not knowledge recall. C: psychomotor - This domain involves physical skills and actions, not knowledge of side effects. D: emotional - This domain involves understanding and managing emotions, not knowledge recall of medication side effects.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse recognizes the value of hospice care in promoting quality of life at the end of life. Which of the following older adult patients reflects an eligible requirement for hospice care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Hospice care is appropriate for patients with a life expectancy of 6 months or less, focusing on comfort rather than cure. In this case, a patient with cancer and uncontrolled pain meets this criteria. The other choices do not meet the eligibility requirements for hospice care. Choice B implies a specific prognosis but not necessarily a terminal illness. Choice C does not mention a terminal condition, and lack of affordability does not determine eligibility. Choice D lacks information on the patient's prognosis and eligibility based on family support is not a criterion for hospice care.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse notes on the admission form that the client has indicated <no religious preference.= What does this indicate to the nurse about the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: The client indicating "no religious preference" means they have not specified a particular faith. Step 2: Therefore, it does not necessarily mean the client does not follow any faith but rather does not align with a specific one. Step 3: Choice A is correct as it indicates the client does not follow the tenets (guidelines) of a specific faith. Summary: Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they make assumptions not supported by the information provided. The client's preference for no specific religion does not imply denial of beliefs, lack of belief in a higher power, or refusal to engage in religious practices.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse cares for a client who takes warfarin for atrial fibrillation (afib). What is the therapeutic INR level?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: INR = 2-3. This range is the recommended therapeutic INR level for clients taking warfarin for conditions like atrial fibrillation. An INR of 2-3 indicates the blood is thin enough to prevent clot formation yet not too thin to cause excessive bleeding. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because an INR of 2-6 is too high and can increase the risk of bleeding, an INR of 6-3 is inverted and not a standard range, and an INR of 3-3 is not a valid range for therapeutic levels.
Question 5 of 5
In relationship to the nurse9s ability to communicate with a client, which type of communication most effectively demonstrates professional competence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Interpersonal. Interpersonal communication is most effective for demonstrating professional competence in nursing as it involves one-on-one interaction with the client, allowing for active listening, empathy, and building rapport. This type of communication promotes trust and understanding, which are essential for providing quality care. Public communication (A) may lack personal connection, small group communication (B) may not focus solely on the client, and intrapersonal communication (D) is self-reflective and does not involve direct interaction with the client.
