Question 1 of 9

He proposed the theory of morality based on PRINCIPLES

A. Freud B. Erikson C. Kohlberg D. Peters

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: R.S. Peters' moral theory (1960s) centers on principles justice, honesty e.g., a nurse acts kindly from habit. Freud's drives, Erikson's stages, and Kohlberg's trust differ. Peters' view of morality as emotion, judgment, and behavior guides ethical consistency e.g., reporting errors impacting nursing's professional conduct and standards.

Question 2 of 9

A client is receiving enteral feedings through an NG tube. Which of the following actions should be taken to prevent aspiration?

A. Monitor gastric residuals every 4 hours. B. Position the client in a semi-Fowler's position. C. Check for tube placement by auscultating air after feeding. D. Warm the formula to body temperature before feeding.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Monitoring gastric residuals every 4 hours is essential to assess the stomach's ability to empty properly, reducing the risk of aspiration. It helps in determining if the feedings are being tolerated by the client and if adjustments are needed in the feeding regimen. Positioning the client in a semi-Fowler's position helps prevent reflux and aspiration by promoting proper digestion and emptying of the stomach contents. Checking for tube placement by auscultating air after feeding confirms correct tube placement in the stomach. Warming the formula to body temperature before feeding enhances client comfort but does not directly prevent aspiration.

Question 3 of 9

According to Maslow, which of the following is NOT TRUE about a self actualized person?

A. Understands poetry, music, philosophy, science etc. B. Desires privacy, autonomous C. Follows the decision of the majority, uphold justice and truth D. Problem centered

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Maslow's self-actualized person (1940s) is autonomous and problem-focused e.g., pursuing personal goals over majority views while valuing privacy and insight (poetry, science). Following the crowd contradicts this; justice is personal. Nurses support this e.g., unique patient goals per psychological growth.

Question 4 of 9

The nurse is providing endotracheal suctioning to a client who is mechanically ventilated, when the client becomes restless and tachycardic. Which action should the nurse take?

A. Notify the health care provider as soon as possible. B. Contact the respiratory department to suction the client. C. Hyperoxygenate and hyperventilate the client with an Ambu bag and resuction. D. Monitor vital signs and discontinue attempts at suctioning until the client is stabilized.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Restlessness and tachycardia during suctioning suggest hypoxia or distress; discontinuing suctioning and monitoring vital signs (D) is the priority to stabilize the client. Notifying the provider (A) or respiratory (B) delays immediate action. Hyperoxygenating and resuctioning (C) risks worsening hypoxia. D is correct. Rationale: Stopping suctioning halts oxygen depletion, allowing recovery, while monitoring guides further intervention, a standard response per airway management protocols. This prevents complications like arrhythmias or desaturation, prioritizing patient safety over premature escalation or repeated procedures in an unstable state.
