Nursing interventions that can help the patient to relax and sleep restfully include all of the following except:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Afternoon naps can interfere with nighttime sleep.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The Apprentice Period (6th-19th centuries) saw Christian orders like the Sisters of Charity emerge to nurse the sick, driven by faith e.g., tending plague victims. Unlike Dark (decline), Contemporary (modern), or Educative (formal schools), this era blended religious duty with care, laying nursing's compassionate foundation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Assessment, the first nursing process step, gathers data via interview (history), observation (vitals), and examination (physical) e.g., noting a patient's dyspnea. Planning sets goals, implementation acts, and evaluation reviews outcomes. This systematic data collection, per Gordon's framework, drives accurate care planning in practice.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Cleaning from stem to bulb least to most contaminated follows medical asepsis e.g., wiping away from the anus-exposed tip. Bulb-to-stem spreads germs; other options are illogical. Nurses use this e.g., alcohol wipes per infection control, preventing cross-contamination.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The stethoscope bell auscultates low-frequency Korotkoff sounds e.g., tapping in BP unlike the diaphragm (high-frequency). Pulse +4 (bounding), +1 (weak), and sound pitch (low) differ. Nurses use this e.g., bell placement for clear readings, per auscultation technique.
