Introduction to Nursing Profession Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
After teaching a client who is prescribed a long-acting beta2 agonist medication, a nurse assesses the client's understanding. Which statement indicates that the client comprehends the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because taking the long-acting beta2 agonist every morning helps prevent acute asthma attacks by providing sustained bronchodilation. Choice A is incorrect as long-acting medications are not for immediate relief. Choice B is incorrect because it indicates using the medication only during an attack. Choice D is incorrect as abruptly stopping long-acting beta2 agonists can lead to worsening asthma symptoms.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is admitting a patient newly diagnosed with peripheral artery disease who takes clopidogrel. Which admission order should the nurse question?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Exercise to the point of discomfort should be questioned because in patients with peripheral artery disease, it is important to avoid excessive exertion that could worsen symptoms or lead to complications. Cilostazol and omeprazole are commonly used in the management of peripheral artery disease and do not have contraindications with clopidogrel. The use of treadmill for exercise is beneficial for patients with peripheral artery disease as it helps improve circulation and overall cardiovascular health.
Question 3 of 5
Which assessment finding for a patient with a history of asthma indicates that the nurse should take immediate action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the use of accessory muscles in breathing indicates severe respiratory distress in asthma patients. This finding suggests increased work of breathing and potential impending respiratory failure. Immediate action is necessary to prevent further deterioration. A, B, and D are incorrect as they are concerning but not as critical as the use of accessory muscles, which indicates a more severe condition that requires immediate intervention.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following tasks could be delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because assisting patients with hygiene is a task that can be safely and appropriately delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). UAP are trained to provide basic care such as bathing, grooming, and toileting under the supervision of licensed nurses. This task does not require complex critical thinking skills or clinical judgment. Choice A is incorrect because an initial assessment of a patient requires a licensed healthcare provider due to the need for comprehensive clinical knowledge and critical thinking skills. Choice B is incorrect because determining a nursing diagnosis involves analyzing assessment data and formulating a plan of care, which requires specialized nursing education and training. Choice C is incorrect because evaluating patient progress with the nursing care plan involves interpreting data, making clinical judgments, and modifying the plan of care as needed, which are responsibilities of licensed nurses.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following roles of the nurse are most important in providing continuity of care to patients? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: teacher. Providing education to patients ensures they understand their condition, treatment, and self-care, leading to continuity of care. Collaborator (B) focuses on working with other healthcare professionals, not directly related to continuity. Mentor (C) helps with professional growth but not directly related to patient care continuity. Advocate (D) supports patients' rights but does not directly contribute to continuity of care.
