Question 1 of 5
How did the Social Security Act of 1935 impact public health nursing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The Social Security Act of 1935 impacted public health nursing by providing financial assistance to families with disabled children. This support helped improve access to healthcare services and resources for disabled children, leading to better health outcomes. The Act did not specifically address mentally disabled individuals, older adults, or opioid addicts in the same way as it did for disabled children. Therefore, choice A is correct as it directly aligns with the Act's provisions for supporting disabled children.

Basic needs for sustaining life, such as food, water, shelter, and safety, are considered intrinsic values. 3. These needs are universal and essential for human survival. 4. Choices A, C, and D describe different aspects of values but do not capture the core concept of intrinsic values as essential for survival.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse recognizes which of the following as a primary goal of nursing?

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Assist patients to achieve a peaceful death. This is a primary goal of nursing as it involves providing comfort, dignity, and support to patients at the end of life. Nurses play a crucial role in ensuring that patients' physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are met during this challenging time. Incorrect choices: B: Improving personal knowledge and skills is important for nurses but not the primary goal of nursing.

Question 4 of 5
An RN enters a patient’s room to place an indwelling urinary catheter, as ordered by the health-care professional. The client is alert and oriented and tells the RN he wants to leave the hospital now and not receive further treatment. Which of the following actions by the RN would be considered false imprisonment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the RN is restricting the patient's freedom to leave the hospital against his will, which constitutes false imprisonment. The patient has the right to refuse treatment and leave the facility. Choice B is incorrect because asking the client why he wishes to leave shows respect for his autonomy. Choice C is incorrect as it pertains to educating the patient about his medical condition, not restricting his freedom. Choice D is incorrect as asking the client to sign an against medical advice form is a way to document his decision and protect the healthcare provider legally.
Question 5 of 5
There are several pitfalls that should be avoided when using social media of any type. For example, a nurse or student could be found guilty of libel in which of the following scenarios?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because complaining about a nurse preceptor on social media and discussing their unprofessional characteristics can be considered libel. Libel involves making false and damaging statements about someone that are published and seen by others. This action could harm the preceptor's reputation and potentially lead to legal consequences. Choice A is incorrect because snapping a selfie with a patient, if done with the patient's consent and in compliance with privacy laws, does not necessarily constitute libel. Choice B is incorrect because posting a positive review of a hospital is not libelous as long as it is truthful and does not harm anyone's reputation. Choice C is incorrect because creating a closed online forum for students to discuss clinical experiences without providing client information is a professional and ethical practice that respects privacy and confidentiality.
