Question 1 of 5
Each American state and territory establishes legal nursing practice through what?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nurse Practice Act. This legislation is enacted by each state and territory to define the scope of nursing practice, standards of care, licensure requirements, and regulations. It is the primary legal framework that governs nursing practice within a specific jurisdiction. Research function (A) and evidence-based practice guidelines (C) focus on guiding clinical practice but do not have the same legal authority as the Nurse Practice Act. Building a nursing database (D) may support research and practice, but it does not establish legal nursing practice.
Question 2 of 5
A client admitted for alcohol detoxification states,"I don't think my drinking has anything to do with why I am here in the hospital. I think I have problems with depression." Which statement by the nurse is the most therapeutic response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct response is A because it demonstrates empathy and encourages self-reflection without invalidating the client's feelings. By acknowledging the client's perspective and gently prompting them to consider the impact of their drinking on their family, the nurse opens up the conversation for further exploration. Option B is incorrect as it dismisses the client's viewpoint and can lead to defensiveness. Option C is also incorrect as it imposes the nurse's perspective on the client and does not consider the complexity of the client's situation. Option D is incorrect as it assumes a causal relationship between the client's life events and drinking without exploring the client's feelings or thoughts.

Correct Answer: B

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.

Step 2: The patients may perceive the nurse as uncaring because of cultural mismatch and lack of personalized approach. Step 3: Short and concise groups may be seen as rushed or lacking in depth, contributing to the perception of uncaring behavior. Step 4: Overall, the patients are likely to believe the nurse was uncaring due to cultural insensitivity and ineffective communication. Other choices are incorrect as they do not address the cultural aspect and the impact it has on patient perception.
