An 85-year-old male patient has been bedridden for two weeks. Which of the following complaints by the patient indicates to the nurse that he is developing a complication of immobility?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Joint stiffness signals early contractures or atrophy from immobility.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A nurse manager's role encompasses planning (vision formulation), organizing (team coordination), directing (training), and controlling (audits), per management theories like Venzon's. This holistic function e.g., setting care standards, training staff, evaluating outcomes ensures quality across a unit, unlike narrower roles like lifestyle change (change agent), rights protection (advocate), or team coordination (case manager). It's a strategic position driving institutional excellence, pivotal in healthcare leadership.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Anastacia Giron-Tupas, a pioneering Filipino nurse, became chief nurse at Philippine General Hospital, marking a milestone in local nursing leadership. Unlike St. Paul, Iloilo, or St. Luke's, PGH's prominence made her role significant, influencing professional advancement and recognition for Filipino nurses in the early 20th century.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Halbert Dunn's High-Level Wellness (1950s) concept frames health as maximizing potential within environmental limits e.g., thriving despite chronic illness. Unlike Erikson's stages, Madaw (unknown), or Peplau's relations, Dunn's idea influences nursing's focus on optimal functioning, not just disease absence, shaping wellness programs.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Paracetamol dropping fever from 40°C to 36.7°C in 10 minutes fully meets the goal of fever reduction e.g., normal range (36.6-38°C) achieved. Partial or unmet goals imply residual fever; undesired criteria suggest side effects (none here). Nurses document this success, per outcome evaluation standards.
