Introduction to Nursing Chapter 1 Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
After throwing his lunch tray on the floor, the patient complains to the nurse manager about the quality of the food he is being fed during his hospital stay. In this following scenario, what defense mechanism is this patient using?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Displacement. This patient is displacing his anger and frustration from the hospital food onto the nurse manager instead of addressing the real issue. Displacement involves redirecting emotions from the actual source to a substitute target. Denial (A) is refusing to acknowledge a painful reality, not relevant here. Rationalization (C) is justifying behavior with logical reasoning, not applicable. Repression (D) is unconsciously blocking out unwanted thoughts or feelings, not demonstrated in this scenario.
Question 2 of 5
A patient has an order for two puffs of an inhaler. How long should the nurse wait before administering the second puff?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Wait 1-5 minutes as prescribed. This is because waiting 1-5 minutes allows the medication to be fully absorbed and maximizes its therapeutic effect. Administering the second puff immediately may lead to overdose or improper absorption. Waiting 10 or 15 minutes may delay the therapeutic effect and compromise the patient's response to treatment. Therefore, waiting 1-5 minutes is the optimal timing for administering the second puff of the inhaler.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse researcher who intends to interview clients about the factors that influence their compliance with insulin therapy and summarize the data as themes is doing quantitative research.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: TRUE. This is because the scenario describes a qualitative research approach, where the nurse researcher aims to gather in-depth insights and summarize data as themes. Quantitative research involves numerical data analysis and statistical methods, which is not the case here. Choice B is incorrect because the scenario does not align with quantitative research principles. Choice C is not applicable as there is a correct answer. Choice D is incorrect as it suggests all options are correct, which is not the case.
Question 4 of 5
Which area of a client9s space does the nurse function most often during physical assessment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Intimate. During a physical assessment, the nurse functions most often in the intimate area of the client's personal space. This area involves physical touch and close proximity to the client's body, such as when assessing vital signs, auscultating the heart and lungs, or examining genitalia. It is essential for the nurse to establish trust and maintain professionalism when working in the intimate space to ensure the client's comfort and privacy. A: Public space is too distant for physical assessment. B: Social space is used for casual interactions, not physical exams. D: Personal space is closer than public space but not as intimate as needed for physical assessment.
Question 5 of 5
Which nursing interventions will the nurse include in the plan of care for a confused older adult with dementia to facilitate communication? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because frequent face-to-face contact helps establish a connection and maintain attention with the confused older adult. This approach allows the nurse to monitor nonverbal cues and adjust communication accordingly. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Speaking calmly, simply, and directly (B) is generally helpful but not specific to facilitating communication with a confused older adult with dementia. Using clocks and calendars for orientation (C) may be overwhelming for someone with dementia. Answering questions in detail (D) can lead to confusion and may not be helpful for someone with cognitive impairment.
