Question 4 of 5
Which is a standard for establishing a code of conduct for living?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Values are abstract standards that give a person a sense of right and wrong and establish a code of conduct for living. Acceptance occurs when the nurse does not become upset or respond negatively to a client's outbursts, anger, or acting out. Empathy is the ability of the nurse to perceive the meaning and feelings of the client and to communicate that understanding to the client. Positive regard is an unconditional, nonjudgmental attitude.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse notices a patient sitting quietly alone, eyes downcast, and looking sad. The nurse says to the patient, 'You look like something is bothering you.' Which pattern of knowing did the nurse use to respond to the patient?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Personal knowing is obtained from life experience. An example would be a client's face shows the panic. Empirical knowing is obtained from the science of nursing. An example would be a client with panic disorder begins to have an attack. Panic attack will raise pulse rate. Ethical knowing is obtained from the moral knowledge of nursing. An example is although the nurse's shift has ended, she remains with the client. Aesthetic knowing is obtained from the art of nursing. Although the client shows outward signals now, the nurse has sensed previously the client's jumpiness and subtle differences in the client's demeanor and behavior.
