A terminally ill patient usually experiences all of the following feelings during the anger stage except:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Numbness is typical of depression, not the anger stage.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Betty Neuman's Health Care System Model, from the 1970s, frames nursing as managing intra-, inter-, and extrapersonal stressors via prevention levels e.g., educating a hypertensive patient (primary). Henderson aids needs, Orem self-care, and Parse human becoming, but Neuman's stressor focus and system stability approach uniquely address holistic wellness, widely used in stress-related care planning.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Roy's Adaptation Model (1970s) sees humans as biopsychosocial-spiritual beings. Socially, people share traits with some others e.g., community roles but differ psychologically (unique thoughts). Biologically and spiritually, humans are alike (e.g., physiology, faith capacity). This nuanced view guides nurses to tailor social support e.g., family counseling enhancing adaptive care.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The nursing process assessment to evaluation is dynamic (adaptive), cyclical (ongoing), and universal (standard) e.g., used globally for care plans. Intrapersonal (within one person) doesn't apply; it's interpersonal, involving nurse-patient interaction. This framework's flexibility ensures tailored, effective nursing across settings.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Using the thumb to palpate radial pulse is incorrect e.g., its own pulse interferes unlike fingers (index, middle) on the inner wrist, palm down, assessing rate, rhythm, volume, and symmetry. Nurses avoid this e.g., per skills training for accurate, interference-free measurement.
