Client has undergone Upper GI and Lower GI series. Which type of health assessment framework is used in this situation?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Upper and Lower GI series target the digestive system, fitting the body system framework e.g., assessing stomach function. Functional (ADLs), head-to-toe (full exam), and cephalocaudal (top-down) are broader or differently structured. This organ-specific approach aids nurses in pinpointing GI issues for targeted care.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Supine position flat, arms up e.g., spreads breast tissue for palpation, unlike dorsal recumbent (knees bent), sitting (gravity), or lithotomy (pelvic). Nurses use this e.g., in cancer screening for thorough, systematic checks, per breast exam standards.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Joyce Travelbee's Interpersonal Theory (1960s) sees nursing as a human-to-human bond during illness e.g., finding meaning in cancer. Swanson's caring, Zderad's humanism, and Peplau's therapeutic focus differ Travelbee's distinct from Parse's becoming. Her emphasis on coping and connection guides emotional support, especially in terminal care, enriching nursing's relational depth.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy (1940s) outlines universal needs physiological to self-actualization but isn't rigid e.g., skipping food for safety. Needs are common (air), internally driven (hunger), and externally triggered (stress). Nurses prioritize flexibly e.g., addressing fear over nutrition in crisis per patient context, not strict order.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Convection loses heat via air movement e.g., a fan cools a feverish patient. Conduction (contact), radiation (infrared), and evaporation (sweat) differ. Nurses apply this e.g., adjusting airflow to manage hyperthermia, per thermoregulation principles.
