Question 4 of 5
The nurse is developing a plan of care for a client. Which nursing action is defined as an activity(ies)/intervention(s)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nursing interventions encompass a broad spectrum of actions aimed at meeting client needs, reflecting the profession's holistic approach. Holding the client's hand is a simple yet profound intervention that provides emotional support, comfort, and reassurance, addressing psychological well-being alongside physical care. Starting an IV is a technical procedure that delivers fluids or medications, directly impacting physiologic health. Educating clients empowers them with knowledge about their condition or self-care, fostering autonomy and health maintenance. However, diagnosing a medical condition falls outside nursing's scope, as it's a physician's responsibility to identify diseases based on clinical findings. Nurses assess, plan, and implement care based on those diagnoses, not make them. These interventions highlight nursing's diverse role from hands-on procedures to supportive gestures each tailored to improve client outcomes across physical, emotional, and educational dimensions, aligning with the profession's caring ethos.
Question 5 of 5
To ensure that a research study is ethical, a nurse researcher must observe which human rights for participants?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ethical nursing research upholds participants' rights, guided by the 1985 ANA guidelines, still relevant today. Self-determinism ensures participants choose involvement freely, without coercion, respecting autonomy. Privacy safeguards their personal information and dignity, preventing unauthorized disclosure. Anonymity protects identity, ensuring data can't be linked to individuals, fostering trust. Fair treatment guarantees equitable selection and care, while protection from harm minimizes risks. A cure for illness isn't a right, as research seeks knowledge, not guaranteed outcomes. These principles self-determinism, privacy, anonymity, and more balance scientific goals with human dignity, ensuring participants are respected as individuals, not mere subjects. This ethical foundation is critical for credible, humane research, safeguarding vulnerable populations and upholding nursing's integrity.
