Introduction to Nursing Chapter 1 Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing patient care in a hospital setting. Who has full legal responsibility and accountability for the nurse's actions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: the nurse. The nurse holds full legal responsibility and accountability for their actions due to the principle of individual professional responsibility. Nurses are independent practitioners and are accountable for their own actions, decisions, and behaviors. The head nurse (B) may provide guidance and support but does not assume legal responsibility for the actions of individual nurses. The physician (C) is responsible for their own actions and decisions, not those of the nurse. The hospital (D) may have overall responsibility for patient care but does not take legal responsibility for the actions of individual nurses.
Question 2 of 5
After throwing his lunch tray on the floor, the patient complains to the nurse manager about the quality of the food he is being fed during his hospital stay. In this following scenario, what defense mechanism is this patient using?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Displacement. This patient is displacing his anger and frustration from the hospital food onto the nurse manager instead of addressing the real issue. Displacement involves redirecting emotions from the actual source to a substitute target. Denial (A) is refusing to acknowledge a painful reality, not relevant here. Rationalization (C) is justifying behavior with logical reasoning, not applicable. Repression (D) is unconsciously blocking out unwanted thoughts or feelings, not demonstrated in this scenario.
Question 3 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 4 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 5 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.
