Deductive reasoning is applied in:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Deductive reasoning is applied in quantitative research as it involves drawing conclusions based on general principles or theories applied to specific instances. In quantitative research, hypotheses are tested using deductive reasoning to determine relationships between variables. Qualitative research (Choice A) relies on inductive reasoning to generate theories from specific observations. Action research (Choice C) focuses on improving practices within a specific context and does not necessarily involve deductive reasoning. Applied research (Choice D) aims to solve practical problems but may use a combination of deductive and inductive reasoning depending on the research design.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing care for a surgeon on a medical-surgical unit. A nurse from another unit asks the nurse about the surgeon's medical diagnosis. The nurse responds that he is unable to provide the information requested. The nurse is displaying which of the following ethical principles?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Nonmaleficence. The nurse is demonstrating nonmaleficence by protecting the surgeon's privacy and confidentiality, which is an important ethical principle in healthcare. By not disclosing the surgeon's medical diagnosis without consent, the nurse is preventing harm and upholding the surgeon's right to privacy. A: Utility - This principle focuses on maximizing benefits for the greater good, which is not relevant in this scenario. B: Paternalism - This principle involves making decisions in the best interest of the patient without their input, which is not applicable here as the nurse is respecting the surgeon's autonomy. C: Justice - This principle pertains to fairness and equal treatment, but it is not directly related to the nurse's decision to maintain confidentiality in this situation.

Veracity (A) relates to truth-telling, Autonomy (B) refers to respecting the patient's right to make decisions, and Fidelity (C) pertains to being faithful and keeping promises, none of which directly apply to the nurse's situation of transferring to the ICU after completing a critical care course.
Question 4 of 5
Sudden sleep

People with narcolepsy experience excessive daytime sleepiness and may fall asleep at inappropriate times. 3. The sudden onset of sleep is a hallmark symptom of narcolepsy. 4. Hypersomnia (choice B) is excessive daytime sleepiness but does not involve sudden sleep attacks like narcolepsy. Summary of why other choices are incorrect: - Choice B (Hypersomnia) is incorrect because it does not involve sudden sleep attacks, which is a defining symptom of narcolepsy.
Question 5 of 5
Mother under NSD
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Straight catheter. In a mother undergoing a normal spontaneous delivery (NSD), a straight catheter is used for intermittent bladder emptying to prevent urinary retention without causing unnecessary trauma or infection. This type of catheter allows for short-term catheterization and reduces the risk of catheter-associated complications compared to indwelling catheters (Choice B). Option C and D are left blank as they are irrelevant choices.
