Introduction to Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
A young woman9s fiancé died in a car accident one month prior to their wedding day. Since his death, she has become sexually promiscuous. What type of grief, if any, is the woman displaying?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Masked grief. This type of grief occurs when the individual exhibits behaviors that are not typically associated with the grieving process, such as engaging in risky behaviors like promiscuity to mask or distract from their emotional pain. In this scenario, the woman's sudden change in behavior following her fiancé's death suggests that she may be using promiscuity as a coping mechanism to avoid facing her grief directly. Other choices: A: Anticipatory grief occurs before a loss, such as expecting the death of a loved one. B: Chronic grief is prolonged and ongoing, not typically characterized by sudden behavioral changes. C: Exaggerated grief involves intense and prolonged mourning, but does not necessarily involve maladaptive behaviors like promiscuity.
Question 2 of 5
The new charge RN on a hospital unit is leading a committee that must choose new paint colors for the nurses9 station. She elicits the opinions of all group members and then organizes a vote. The charge nurse9s leadership style can be said to be
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Democratic. This is because the charge nurse is involving all group members in the decision-making process by eliciting their opinions and organizing a vote. This leadership style promotes collaboration and empowers team members to have a say in the decision. A: Laissez-faire is incorrect because this leadership style involves minimal interference from the leader, which is not the case here. B: Autocratic is incorrect because this style involves making decisions without input from others, which is not happening in this scenario. D: Scientific is incorrect because it refers to a leadership style that emphasizes data-driven decision-making, which is not the focus in this situation.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse cares for a client who may take ibuprofen 600 mg to 800 mg by mouth (PO) every 8 hours as needed (PRN) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pain. What is the maximum daily dose (in g)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A (2.4 g). To calculate the maximum daily dose, we take the highest dose (800 mg) and multiply it by the number of times it can be taken in a day (3 times). Therefore, 800 mg * 3 = 2400 mg = 2.4 g. This is the maximum daily dose. Choice B (4.8 g) is incorrect as it is double the correct answer, exceeding the safe daily limit. Choices C (2.0 g) and D (1.0 g) are too low and do not reflect the maximum dose calculation.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has been prescribed an enteric-coated aspirin for myocardial infarction (MI) prophylaxis. What should be included in the teaching plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: It should not be chewed or crushed. Enteric-coated aspirin is designed to bypass the stomach and dissolve in the intestines to prevent stomach irritation. Chewing or crushing it can destroy the coating, leading to stomach irritation. Aspirin should not be cut into pieces to ensure the full dose is taken. It is not available in liquid form, so choice C is incorrect. Choice B is incorrect as the enteric coating must not be opened to prevent stomach irritation.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is teaching an older adult client about different types of proteins that can be eaten. Which foods will the nurse identify as containing dietary protein? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: fish. Fish is a good source of dietary protein, containing essential amino acids necessary for bodily functions. Fish provides high-quality protein which is important for muscle maintenance and overall health. Nuts, rice, and butter are not primarily sources of protein. Nuts contain healthy fats and some protein, but may not be the main protein source for an individual. Rice and butter are not significant sources of protein and do not provide the essential amino acids needed for optimal health.
