Question 3 of 5
The appropriate nursing care delivery model for critically ill patients is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Primary. In the primary nursing care delivery model, a designated nurse takes responsibility for coordinating all aspects of care for a specific group of patients, ensuring continuity and personalized care. This model is most suitable for critically ill patients as it promotes individualized attention, consistent monitoring, and streamlined communication among the healthcare team. Functional care delivery model (A) divides tasks among different nursing staff, potentially leading to fragmented care. Case assignment model (B) assigns a nurse to each patient but lacks the continuity and oversight provided by the primary model. The team nursing model (C) involves multiple healthcare providers sharing responsibilities, which may not be ideal for critically ill patients requiring focused attention.
Question 4 of 5
Where would nurse Kristine place the call light for a male client with a right-sided brain attack and left homonymous hemianopsia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because placing the call light on the client's right side aligns with the visual field deficit of left homonymous hemianopsia. This placement ensures that the client can see the call light without obstruction. Placing it on the left side (B) would be in the blind visual field. Placing it directly in front of the client (C) may still be within the blind visual field. Placing it where the client likes (D) may not be effective in ensuring the client can see and reach the call light easily.
Question 5 of 5
Which is a normal physiologic change related to aging in a 77-year-old male client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for choice D (Decreased vital capacity) being the correct answer: 1. Vital capacity decreases with age due to loss of lung elasticity and muscle strength. 2. This decrease is a normal physiologic change related to aging. 3. Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air a person can expel after a maximum inhalation. Summary of why the other choices are incorrect: A: Increased elastic recoil of the lungs - Not a normal change in aging; lung elasticity decreases. B: Increased number of functional capillaries in the alveoli - Not a common age-related change in the lungs. C: Decreased residual volume - Residual volume may increase with age due to decreased lung elasticity, not decrease.
