Question 2 of 9
The statements of the findings of the study that will be formulated by Myra should be by_
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct approach for formulating statements of findings in a study is to extract meanings and themes from significant statements. This involves analyzing the data collected, identifying patterns or themes that emerge from the responses, and then formulating statements that encapsulate these findings. By doing so, the researcher can accurately capture the essence of the data and present meaningful conclusions based on the analysis. This process goes beyond merely summarizing or describing the responses and delves deeper into the interpretations and implications of the findings.
Question 3 of 9
Patient Haydee comes to the perinatal unit of Hospital DEE. Nurse Arcee does through SCREENING assessment. Which is the Least screening assessment to be used by the nurse/
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Radiologic procedures are typically not used as the least screening assessment by nurses in a perinatal unit. The nurse's initial screening assessments usually focus on gathering information through techniques such as physical examination, interviews, and reviewing laboratory results. Radiologic procedures, such as X-rays or CT scans, are usually ordered by physicians once a more specific diagnostic need has been identified, based on the initial screening assessments performed by the nurse. Therefore, in this scenario, the least screening assessment to be used by the nurse would be radiologic procedures.
Question 4 of 9
Which of the following conditions does the nurse explain to the patient the contributory factor that slows uterine involution?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Prolonged labor is a condition in which labor lasts for an extended period, typically more than 20 hours for first-time mothers and more than 14 hours for experienced mothers. Prolonged labor can contribute to slowing down uterine involution because the prolonged pressure and strain on the uterus can affect its ability to return to its pre-pregnancy size and position. The prolonged contractions and stretching of the uterine muscles can hinder the normal process of uterine involution, leading to a delay in the uterus shrinking back to its non-pregnant state. Additionally, prolonged labor can increase the risk of postpartum complications such as excessive bleeding and infection, which can further impact uterine involution. Therefore, it is crucial for healthcare providers to monitor labor progress closely to prevent prolonged labor and its potential effects on uterine involution.
Question 5 of 9
In assigning rooms for the injured patients, the nurses should coordinate with the Administration. Which of the following is the CORRECT room assignment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In assigning rooms for the injured patients, the most appropriate and compassionate choice is to have mother and child together in one room. This decision prioritizes the well-being and emotional support for the child, as having the mother nearby can have a positive impact on the child's recovery. It also promotes family bonding during a difficult time, which can aid in the healing process. Additionally, the presence of a parent can provide comfort and reassurance to the child, contributing to a more positive hospital experience. Therefore, it is important for the nurses to coordinate with the Administration to ensure that mother and child are assigned to the same room whenever possible.
Question 6 of 9
A pregnant woman presents with fever, chills, and abdominal pain localized to the right lower quadrant. On examination, she has rebound tenderness and guarding. Which of the following conditions is the most likely cause of these symptoms?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Acute appendicitis is the most likely cause of the symptoms described in the pregnant woman. The classic presentation of acute appendicitis includes fever, chills, abdominal pain localized to the right lower quadrant, rebound tenderness, and guarding. Pregnant women are at a slightly higher risk of developing appendicitis due to anatomic changes and increased abdominal pressure during pregnancy, which can lead to an atypical presentation of symptoms. Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial to prevent complications such as perforation, which can be detrimental for both the mother and the fetus.
Question 7 of 9
which of the following is an EXTRANEOUS variable of the study?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The extraneous variable in a study is a variable that is not the main focus of the study but could potentially impact the results. In this case, the length of stay is an extraneous variable because it is not directly related to the research question or objective of the study. The study is likely focused on factors such as patient age, complications, or date of admission, making the length of stay an irrelevant variable in this context.
Question 8 of 9
Which of the following is an INDICATOR of effective communication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Feedback is an essential indicator of effective communication because it allows the sender to understand how the message was received by the receiver. It provides an opportunity to clarify any misunderstandings, confirm understanding, and ensure that the communication has been successful. Without feedback, the sender cannot be sure if their message was accurately understood or if further explanation or clarification is needed. Effective communication involves a two-way exchange, and feedback plays a crucial role in ensuring that the message is effectively transmitted and received.
Question 9 of 9
Which of the following BEST describe a strong team?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A strong team is cohesive, meaning its members work well together, communicate effectively, and support each other. Cohesion helps the team to function smoothly and achieve its goals efficiently. While being driven, having shared goals, and a sense of mission are important characteristics of a strong team, cohesion is the foundation that holds the team together and allows these other factors to thrive.
