Introduction to Nursing Chapter 1 Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a neighborhood clinic is conducting educational sessions on weight loss. What aim of nursing is met by these educational programs?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: preventing illness. Educational sessions on weight loss aim to prevent obesity-related health issues, thus aligning with the preventive aspect of nursing care. By educating individuals on healthy habits, the nurse helps to reduce the risk of developing various illnesses associated with excess weight. Advocacy (choice A) involves supporting and promoting patients' rights; restoring health (choice C) focuses on improving health after illness; facilitating coping (choice D) involves helping patients deal with stress. These choices do not directly address the preventive nature of weight loss education.
Question 2 of 5
The student nurse has earned <As= in all of her prerequisite courses. For the first exam in a nursing course, she earns a <D= and now feels that she may not be smart enough to become a nurse. What type of <loss= is the student experiencing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Perceived loss. This is because the student nurse is feeling a sense of loss in her confidence and self-worth due to receiving a lower grade than expected. It is not an actual loss, as nothing tangible has been lost. It is also not a physical loss, as it doesn't involve a physical object or ability. It is not a situational loss, as that typically refers to a loss related to external circumstances. In this case, the student's feeling of inadequacy is based on her perception of her academic performance, making it a perceived loss.
Question 3 of 5
A patient has an order for two puffs of an inhaler. How long should the nurse wait before administering the second puff?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Wait 1-5 minutes as prescribed. This is because waiting 1-5 minutes allows the medication to be fully absorbed and maximizes its therapeutic effect. Administering the second puff immediately may lead to overdose or improper absorption. Waiting 10 or 15 minutes may delay the therapeutic effect and compromise the patient's response to treatment. Therefore, waiting 1-5 minutes is the optimal timing for administering the second puff of the inhaler.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse researcher who intends to interview clients about the factors that influence their compliance with insulin therapy and summarize the data as themes is doing quantitative research.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: TRUE. This is because the scenario describes a qualitative research approach, where the nurse researcher aims to gather in-depth insights and summarize data as themes. Quantitative research involves numerical data analysis and statistical methods, which is not the case here. Choice B is incorrect because the scenario does not align with quantitative research principles. Choice C is not applicable as there is a correct answer. Choice D is incorrect as it suggests all options are correct, which is not the case.
Question 5 of 5
Which area of a client9s space does the nurse function most often during physical assessment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Intimate. During a physical assessment, the nurse functions most often in the intimate area of the client's personal space. This area involves physical touch and close proximity to the client's body, such as when assessing vital signs, auscultating the heart and lungs, or examining genitalia. It is essential for the nurse to establish trust and maintain professionalism when working in the intimate space to ensure the client's comfort and privacy. A: Public space is too distant for physical assessment. B: Social space is used for casual interactions, not physical exams. D: Personal space is closer than public space but not as intimate as needed for physical assessment.
