Introduction to Nursing Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Although all of the following are nursing responsibilities, which one would be expected of a nurse with a baccalaureate degree?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because using research findings to improve practice is a key component of a nurse with a baccalaureate degree. Baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expected to integrate evidence-based practice into their care delivery. This involves critically analyzing research findings to enhance patient outcomes and implement best practices. Nurses with a baccalaureate degree have a deeper understanding of research methodologies and the importance of evidence-based practice. Choice A (providing direct physical care) is not specific to a baccalaureate degree level and can be performed by nurses at various educational levels. Choice C (administering medications as prescribed) is a basic nursing responsibility that does not require a baccalaureate degree specifically. Choice D (collaborating with other healthcare providers) is important in nursing practice but is not exclusive to baccalaureate-prepared nurses.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 17-year-old female patient whose left leg was amputated after being crushed in a motor vehicle accident. Which of the following interventions might the nurse perform to accommodate the patient's intellectual dimension?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: teaching her how to care for the stump and explaining the rehabilitation program. This intervention focuses on addressing the patient's intellectual dimension by providing education and information crucial for her understanding and participation in her care. By teaching her how to care for the stump and explaining the rehabilitation program, the nurse empowers the patient to actively engage in her recovery process. This intervention promotes independence, self-efficacy, and knowledge, which are essential for the patient's physical and emotional well-being. Incorrect options: A: considering the patient's developmental stage when planning nursing - While considering the patient's developmental stage is important, it does not directly address the intellectual dimension in this context. B: encouraging friends and relatives to visit often and bring games to distract her - While social support and activities are beneficial, they do not specifically target the intellectual dimension or provide the necessary education and information for the patient's care. D: providing the opportunity for a counselor to come in and talk to her about her
Question 3 of 5
What action by a nurse will help a patient meet self-esteem needs?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because respecting the patient's values and belief systems demonstrates validation and acceptance, contributing to their self-esteem. By respecting their individuality, the nurse acknowledges and supports their autonomy, fostering a positive self-concept. Verbal negation (A) may be perceived as invalidating, impacting self-esteem negatively. Freely giving compliments (B) may come across as insincere and not address deeper self-esteem issues. Independently establishing goals (C) may not align with the patient's needs and values, potentially hindering self-esteem growth.
Question 4 of 5
A student nurse is working in the library on her plan of care for a clinical assignment. The patient's name is written at the top of her plan. What ethical responsibility is the student violating?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: confidentiality. The student is violating the ethical responsibility of maintaining patient confidentiality by displaying the patient's name in a public setting. This breaches the patient's right to privacy and confidentiality, which are fundamental principles in healthcare. By revealing the patient's name, the student is potentially exposing sensitive information to unauthorized individuals, compromising the patient's trust and confidentiality. Accountability (B) relates to taking responsibility for one's actions, trust (C) pertains to building a trusting relationship with the patient, and informed consent (D) involves ensuring the patient understands and consents to their care. However, in this scenario, the primary ethical breach is confidentiality.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse explains the informed consent form to a patient who is scheduled for heart bypass surgery. Which of the following are elements of this consent form? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Comprehension. Informed consent requires the patient to understand the information provided. This ensures the patient is fully aware of the risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure. A: Disclosure is important for providing all necessary information, but it is not an element of the consent form itself. B: Organ donation is unrelated to the consent form for heart bypass surgery. C: DNR orders refer to do not resuscitate, which is not directly related to the informed consent process.
