Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Prinzmetal's angina, also known as variant angina, is characterized by episodes of chest pain that occur at rest and are relieved by nitroglycerin. Patients with Prinzmetal's angina may also have transient ST-segment elevation on an electrocardiogram (ECG) during episodes of chest pain. This is due to coronary artery vasospasm, which causes temporary obstruction of blood flow to the heart muscle. Stable angina typically presents with chest pain on exertion that resolves with rest, while unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction present with chest pain that is not relieved with nitroglycerin and are associated with more severe coronary artery disease.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: As an epidemiology nurse, Nurse Rona's primary function and responsibility is to implement public health surveillance. Epidemiology nurses play a crucial role in monitoring and controlling the spread of diseases within communities. This involves conducting surveillance activities to identify patterns of disease occurrence, investigating outbreaks, collecting and analyzing data, and collaborating with various stakeholders to develop strategies for disease prevention and control. While providing nursing care to sick residents is important, the primary focus of an epidemiology nurse is on population-based health issues rather than individual patient care. Additionally, while Nurse Rona may assist epidemiologists in making reports and follow up cases and contacts, her main role is to implement public health surveillance to protect and promote the health of the community as a whole.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: An abstract is a concise summary of a research study that provides an overview of the purpose, methods, results, and conclusions of the research. It is usually the first section of a research report or article and serves to give the reader a quick understanding of the study without having to read the full document. In this case, Nurse Sandy has completed the study and is preparing to submit a written brief summary to the Research department, which is typically in the form of an abstract. It highlights the key points of the study, allowing others to quickly grasp the main findings and implications.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Choosing option D, "Donato, what you are saying is inappropriate," is the most appropriate response in this situation. It directly addresses Nurse Donato's behavior without escalating the situation or being overly confrontational. By calmly pointing out that the remarks are inappropriate, you are setting a boundary and letting Nurse Donato know that such behavior is not acceptable in a professional setting. This response also signals to the rest of the group that you are aware of the inappropriate comments and are taking action to address them. It is important to address such behavior professionally and assertively to maintain a respectful and supportive environment during the support group meeting.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A living will is a legal document that outlines a person's preferences and wishes regarding medical treatment, including resuscitation, in the event they become unable to communicate or make decisions. In this scenario, the client being admitted to the oncology unit wants to convey his wishes regarding resuscitation in case of cardiopulmonary arrest. A living will helps ensure that these wishes are known and respected by healthcare providers and loved ones. While a will addresses how a person's assets should be distributed after death and a health care power of attorney designates someone to make medical decisions on the person's behalf, a living will specifically focuses on healthcare preferences and treatment decisions. A proxy directive is similar to a health care power of attorney, designating someone to make healthcare decisions for the person if they are unable to do so themselves.
