Adult Health Nursing Quizlet Final Questions
Question 1 of 5
A safe patient environment includes following factors EXCEPT
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A safe patient environment should address the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of the patient. While socio-economic needs are important for overall patient care, they are not directly related to creating a safe environment within a healthcare setting. Factors such as maintaining sanitation, meeting basic needs, and reducing physical hazards are crucial to ensuring the safety and well-being of patients. However, addressing socio-economic needs falls more within the realm of holistic patient care beyond just the physical safety aspect.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following give meaning and context to the message?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In order to understand and interpret a message accurately, it is essential to consider the context in which it was delivered. Context provides the necessary background information, setting, and circumstances that give meaning and relevance to the message being communicated. Without context, it can be challenging to fully grasp the intention and significance of the communication. While the other options (process, phrases and sentences, thoughts and feelings) play roles in communication, it is the context that ultimately helps to give meaning and context to the message being conveyed.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following health teaching concern for the nurse as discharged plan for suicidal patient who had been taking tricyclic antidepressant drugs for 2 weeks and now ready to go home?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When discharging a suicidal patient who has been taking tricyclic antidepressant drugs, it is crucial for the nurse to evaluate the risk for suicide by overdose of the medication. Tricyclic antidepressants have a narrow therapeutic index, meaning that the difference between a therapeutic dose and a toxic dose can be quite small. This makes them particularly dangerous in cases of overdose, as they can lead to severe toxic effects, including cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, and death.
Question 4 of 5
Upon data collection he had been failing three times in his math class and Korino was known for substance dependent for three years. What is the MOST APPROPRIATE nursing diagnosis for him?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The most appropriate nursing diagnosis for the individual described is "Ineffective individual coping." This is because the individual has been facing challenges in both academic (failing math class) and personal (substance dependence) aspects of his life. The repeated failures in his math class and the substance dependence for three years indicate that he might be struggling to cope with stressors and challenges in his life effectively. By identifying this nursing diagnosis, the nurse can focus on helping the individual develop effective coping strategies to manage and overcome these difficulties.
Question 5 of 5
A cognitive assessment of Belle indicated that according to Piaget's theory she was functioning at the concrete operational stage. Which of these behaviors would the nurse observe in Belle?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: At the concrete operational stage according to Piaget's theory, children typically demonstrate logical thinking abilities and are able to understand and work with concrete objects and events. They can also grasp concepts such as conservation and classification. These children are able to think logically about concrete events but may still struggle with abstract and hypothetical situations. Therefore, Belle, functioning at the concrete operational stage, would exhibit behaviors such as thinking logically and being able to see possibilities, as described in option A.
