Question 1 of 5
Four teenagers died in an automobile accident. One week later, which behavior by the parents of these teenagers most clearly demonstrates resilience?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because creating a scholarship fund at their child's high school demonstrates resilience by channeling their grief into a positive and productive endeavor that honors their child's memory. This action shows the parents are able to cope with their loss by making a meaningful impact on the community. A: Visiting the grave daily may indicate difficulty moving forward and may hinder the grieving process. B: Returning to employment immediately could be a way to avoid facing the emotional impact of the loss. C: Discussing the accident within the family only may limit the support and healing that can come from seeking help outside the family circle.
Question 2 of 5
A client who has a 10 a.m. appointment at an outpatient psychiatric clinic arrives at noon, stating,"I was visiting with my mother." How should the nurse interpret the client's failure to arrive on time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The client is a member of a cultural group that is present oriented. In some cultures, being present-oriented means focusing more on the current moment rather than adhering strictly to schedules or appointments. This cultural perspective values interpersonal relationships and may prioritize spending time with family over punctuality. In this scenario, the client's delay in arriving may be due to cultural norms rather than intentional disrespect or defiance. It is important for healthcare providers to be culturally competent and understanding of different cultural perspectives to provide effective care. Summary: B: The client being passive-aggressive is not supported by the information given. C: The client rejecting traditional medicine is not relevant to the situation described. D: There is no evidence to suggest that the client is defying authority by arriving late.
Question 3 of 5
A group of nursing students are reviewing information about spirituality and religiousness. The group demonstrates understanding of these concepts when they identify religiousness as which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Community participation in common worship. Religiousness involves engaging in activities such as attending religious services, participating in rituals, and sharing beliefs within a community setting. This choice specifically emphasizes the communal aspect of religious practice, highlighting the importance of group participation in worship activities. A: Feeling of connectedness - While feeling connectedness can be a part of religious experience, it is not specific to religiousness and can be experienced in various contexts. B: Way of interpreting life events - This choice refers more to spirituality, which involves personal beliefs and values, rather than specifically religious practices. C: Relationship with a unifying force - While this can be a component of religious beliefs, it does not capture the active participation in community worship that is central to religiousness.
Question 4 of 5
What is the number one chronic illness according to the National Council on Aging?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: arthritis. Arthritis is the number one chronic illness according to the National Council on Aging due to its high prevalence among older adults. Arthritis causes joint pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility, impacting quality of life. Heart failure (A) and hypertension (D) are also common chronic conditions but are not ranked as the number one chronic illness by the National Council on Aging. Diabetes (B) is a significant chronic illness but is not the primary focus of the National Council on Aging's ranking. Arthritis's impact on daily functioning and quality of life makes it the top chronic illness for older adults.
Question 5 of 5
Phillip, a 63-year-old male, has exposed his genitals in public for all of his adult life, but the act has lost some of the former thrill. A rationale for this change in his experience may be:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Desire waning with age. As individuals age, their sexual desires and behaviors may change. In this case, Phillip may be experiencing a decrease in his desire for exhibitionism as he grows older. This is a common phenomenon as people's sexual interests and behaviors can evolve over time. A: An increasing sense of shame - While shame could potentially be a factor, it is not the most likely reason for the change in Phillip's behavior. B: Disgust over his lack of control - This choice does not directly address the decrease in thrill experienced by Phillip and is less likely to be the primary reason for his change in behavior. D: Progression into actual assault - This choice is not supported by the information provided in the question and is an extreme assumption without any evidence.
