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 disrupt nighttime sleep, unlike other relaxing interventions.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Primary nursing assigns one RN 24-hour responsibility for a client's care plan, ensuring continuity across shifts via secondary nurses e.g., overseeing a diabetic's regimen long-term. Unlike functional (task-driven), team (group-based), or total care (shift-specific), it prioritizes accountability and consistency, enhancing patient trust and outcomes in complex cases.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The Apprentice Period (6th-19th centuries) ended in 1836 when Theodor Fliedner founded Kaiserwerth, training deaconesses formally e.g., Nightingale studied there. Unlike Dark (decline), Contemporary (modern), or Educative (post-apprentice), this shift from convent-based to structured education marked nursing's professionalization, a pivotal historical transition.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Nightingale's theory (1850s) hinges on environment as key to independence e.g., clean air aids recovery, enabling self-care. Henderson focuses on needs assistance, Orem on self-care deficits, and Swanson on caring processes. Nightingale's environmental manipulation remains foundational, influencing modern infection control and patient autonomy.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Rectal thermometers insert 1-2 inches e.g., 1 inch for adults, less for kids for accurate core temp without perforation risk. Longer (3-5 inches) is unsafe; 5 to 1.5 is illogical. Nurses follow this e.g., marking depth per procedure guidelines, ensuring precision and safety.
