Question 1 of 5
Darnell is an 84-year-old widower who has lived alone since his wife died 6 years ago. A neighbor called Darnell's son to tell him that Darnell was trying to start his car from the passenger's side. He became angry and aggressive when the car would not start. After a medical assessment, Darnell was diagnosed with a major neurocognitive disorder. The nurse realized additional family teaching is necessary when Darnell's son states:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. In person-centered care, the individual's preferences, needs, and values should be prioritized to provide tailored care. However, in this scenario, Darnell's son's statement indicates a lack of understanding about the severity and implications of his father's major neurocognitive disorder. This disorder will likely progress, impacting Darnell's ability to live independently. Therefore, the son's belief that his father can continue to live at home with person-centered care is unrealistic and indicates a need for further education. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they all reflect accurate statements related to Darnell's diagnosis and situation.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is working with a psychiatric client who was admitted to the inpatient facility and is being discharged. The client asks the nurse what he should do when he goes home to promote getting adequate sleep. Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Save your bedroom for sleeping; that means no work and no TV in the bedroom. Rationale: 1. The bedroom should be associated with sleep to promote better sleep hygiene. 2. Removing work and TV from the bedroom helps to create a sleep-conducive environment. 3. This approach helps the client establish a bedtime routine that signals the brain it is time to sleep. 4. It discourages activities that may interfere with falling asleep or staying asleep. 5. It aligns with evidence-based recommendations for improving sleep quality. Summary: A: Going to bed at the same time every night is beneficial, but watching TV before bed can disrupt sleep. C: Prescribing sleeping pills should be a last resort and not the initial recommendation. D: Keeping the bedroom warm is not as critical as creating a sleep-friendly environment.
Question 3 of 5
The treatment team is recommending disulfiram (Antabuse) for a client who has had multiple admissions for alcohol detoxification. Which nursing question directed to the treatment team would protect this client's right to informed consent?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: Option A is correct because it focuses on the client's cognitive ability, crucial for giving informed consent. This question ensures the client understands the risks and benefits of disulfiram. Option B is incorrect as adherence is not directly related to informed consent. Option C is incorrect as it shifts focus to liability rather than the client's understanding. Option D is incorrect as it pertains to the least restrictive means of care, not specifically informed consent.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing an older adult client. Which of the following would the nurse interpret as most indicative of mental health and wellness?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because interacting with others in the environment is a key indicator of mental health and wellness in older adults. Social interaction promotes cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. It helps prevent isolation and depression. Choice A is incorrect as minimal social contacts can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation. Choice C is incorrect because relying solely on family for assistance may indicate limited social support network. Choice D is incorrect because experiencing bereavement is a normal part of life and does not necessarily indicate mental health and wellness.
Question 5 of 5
What term refers to the level of choice, influence, and control that users of mental health services can exercise over events in their lives?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Empowerment. Empowerment refers to the level of choice, influence, and control that users of mental health services can exercise over events in their lives. It involves empowering individuals to make decisions and take actions that enhance their well-being. Emotional regulation (A) refers to the ability to manage and control emotions. Mutual negotiation (C) involves reaching agreements through discussion and compromise. Self-determination (D) is the right of individuals to make choices about their own lives. However, empowerment specifically focuses on giving individuals the ability to exert influence and control over their circumstances, making it the most appropriate term in this context.
