After having an I.V. line in place for 72 hours, a patient complains of tenderness, burning, and swelling. Assessment of the I.V. site reveals that it is warm and erythematous. This usually indicates:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: These symptoms indicate phlebitis, inflammation of the vein.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, from the early 1900s, posits children adopt parental standards via identification e.g., mimicking a father's demeanor. Imitation (copying), introjection (internalizing), and regression (reverting) differ. This process shapes superego development, influencing behaviors like empathy in nursing, where early role models affect caregiving styles.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Maslow's self-actualized individual (1940s) decides independently e.g., rejecting popular trends for personal ethics. They predict events (insightful), aren't self-centered (altruistic), and minimize conflict through clarity. Nurses encourage this autonomy e.g., supporting a patient's unconventional treatment choice enhancing self-directed health decisions.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Tympanic temp of 37.9°C falls within normal (36.6-38°C) e.g., slightly elevated from barking cough stress. It's not high (>38°C), low (<36.6°C), or low-end. Nurses interpret this as high-normal, monitoring for trends in acute respiratory cases, per standard ranges.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Aortic and carotid bodies, chemoreceptors, slow respiration when BP rises e.g., baroreceptors signal reduced need for O2 delivery. Increased RR (hypoxia), alkalosis (pH), or acidosis (metabolic) misalign. Nurses note this e.g., in hypertension for respiratory adjustments, per cardiovascular interplay.
