Correct Answer: C

Rationale: According to Watson's theory, a caring approach is essential. Confronting the nurse privately, ordering drug testing, and suggesting a substance abuse program demonstrates empathy and supports the staff member in seeking help for their addiction. This approach aligns with the principles of human caring and compassion, focusing on the well-being and recovery of the individual rather than punitive measures. Choices A and D are too harsh and lack empathy, not considering the individual's well-being or offering support for rehabilitation. Choice B is inappropriate and punitive, not aligned with a caring and compassionate approach as advocated by Watson's theory.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Coaching. Coaching involves providing guidance and support to help an employee enhance their performance. It focuses on developing skills, addressing weaknesses, and achieving professional growth. Mentoring (choice C) involves guiding and nurturing a less experienced individual. Peer reviewing (choice D) is when colleagues evaluate the performance of their peers. Disciplining (choice B) refers to taking corrective actions in response to policy violations or performance issues.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Operating expenses in health care organizations typically include costs like maintenance, rental fees, and supplies as they are necessary for the day-to-day operations. Renovation costs, on the other hand, are considered capital expenses as they involve significant improvements to facilities rather than routine operational expenses. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A, B, and D are part of operating expenses in health care organizations.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In this scenario, the nurse is experiencing negative emotions towards the patient's behavior. By understanding the patient's motivation, the nurse can gain insight into the underlying factors that led to the behavior, helping to avoid being judgmental. This approach allows the nurse to provide care and support without letting personal feelings interfere. Understanding motivation can also aid in developing a therapeutic relationship and providing appropriate care tailored to the patient's needs. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as while state laws, the patient's social history, and the code of ethics are important aspects to consider in healthcare, they do not directly address the nurse's feelings of disgust and the need to avoid being judgmental towards the patient's behavior.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct time for the nurse to initiate discharge planning for a client experiencing an exacerbation of heart failure is as soon as the client's condition is stable. Discharge planning should begin early in the admission process to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of care. While involving the client's family in the planning process is crucial, the primary focus should be on starting the preparations for discharge once the client's immediate health concerns are addressed and their condition is stable. Waiting for a team conference or after consulting with the family may delay the planning process, which is not ideal in ensuring a timely and effective discharge plan.
