Question 1 of 5
Complete this analogy. NANDA: clinical judgment: NIC:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: nursing actions. NANDA provides nursing diagnoses, which guide clinical judgment in determining appropriate nursing interventions. Similarly, NIC (Nursing Interventions Classification) provides a standardized language for identifying nursing actions to achieve patient outcomes based on the identified nursing diagnoses. Therefore, the analogy between NANDA and clinical judgment is parallel to NIC and nursing actions. Summary: A: Patient outcomes - Incorrect. While patient outcomes are the ultimate goal of nursing care, NIC specifically focuses on the actions taken to achieve these outcomes. C: Diagnosis - Incorrect. NANDA provides nursing diagnoses, while NIC focuses on interventions rather than diagnoses. D: Symptoms - Incorrect. NIC is not focused on symptoms but rather on the actions nurses take to address the identified nursing diagnoses.
Question 2 of 5
A school age child tells the school nurse, "Other kids call me mean names and will not sit with me at lunch. Nobody likes me." Select the nurse's most therapeutic response.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Correct Answer: D Rationale: 1. Validating the child's feelings encourages open communication and trust. 2. Asking the child to share more helps the nurse understand the situation better. 3. It shows empathy and provides an opportunity for support and guidance. 4. Encourages the child to express emotions and promotes problem-solving skills. Incorrect Choices: A: Ignoring bullies may not solve the problem and can lead to further isolation. B: Making friends is not always easy and might not address the current issue. C: Encouraging retaliation can escalate the situation and promote negative behavior.
Question 3 of 5
When providing care to a patient, the psychiatric-mental health nurse is implementing the therapeutic use of self. The nurse is applying the concepts based on the work of which individual?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hildegarde Peplau. Peplau is known for her work on interpersonal relations in nursing, emphasizing the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship. She developed the Theory of Interpersonal Relations, which focuses on the nurse's role in facilitating the patient's growth and development. Through this theory, nurses use themselves as therapeutic tools to promote healing. Florence Nightingale is known for her contributions to nursing practice, but not specifically for therapeutic use of self. Dorothea Dix was a mental health advocate, not directly related to therapeutic nurse-patient relationship. Sigmund Freud is known for psychoanalytic theory, which is not directly related to nurse-patient interactions.
Question 4 of 5
A group of nursing students are reviewing information about psychodynamic theories. The students demonstrate a need for additional study when they identify which of the following as a humanistic theorist?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Carl Jung. Jung is not a humanistic theorist; he is known for his analytical psychology, which focuses on the collective unconscious and archetypes. Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow are humanistic theorists who emphasize self-actualization and the importance of human potential. Frederick Perls is associated with Gestalt therapy, not humanistic theory. Therefore, the nursing students need additional study to correctly identify Carl Jung as a psychodynamic theorist, not a humanistic one.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is working with an adolescent girl who describes herself as a 'compulsive overeater' and presents with a history of using food to cope with stress. The nurse decides to use journaling as an intervention for this patient based on the rationale that journaling will help the patient identify which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because journaling can help the patient become more self-aware of her self-perception and responses to stress. By writing down thoughts and feelings, the patient can identify patterns in her behavior and emotions that contribute to compulsive eating. This self-reflection can lead to recognizing triggers for overeating and understanding how stress impacts her eating habits. Choice A is incorrect because it focuses solely on the frequency of compulsive eating without addressing the underlying emotional triggers. Choice B is incorrect as it emphasizes external factors in the daily schedule rather than internal emotional responses. Choice C is incorrect as it involves external behaviors of others triggering the patient's eating behavior, which may not be the primary focus for addressing compulsive overeating.
