Question 1 of 5
Sleep deprivation is considered a safety issue that results in loss of life and property. Psychomotor impairments of sleep deprivation are similar to symptoms caused by:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Alcohol consumption affects psychomotor skills similarly to sleep deprivation. 2. Both can impair cognitive functions, reaction times, and decision-making abilities. 3. Alcohol disrupts sleep patterns, leading to similar impairments as sleep deprivation. 4. Excessive alcohol consumption can result in accidents and fatalities, similar to sleep-deprived individuals. Summary: A: Sleeping in excess of 10 hours does not typically lead to psychomotor impairments like sleep deprivation. B: Misuse of caffeine products may cause alertness but does not mimic the psychomotor impairments of sleep deprivation. D: Working more than 40 hours per week may lead to fatigue but does not directly cause psychomotor impairments similar to sleep deprivation.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is using motivational therapy with a female client with alcoholism. The client, who is unwilling to consider changing her drinking behavior, emphatically states, 'I am not an alcoholic; you can't make me stop drinking.' Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it aligns with the principles of motivational therapy. The nurse acknowledges the client's autonomy and emphasizes personal responsibility for change. By stating, "You're the only one who can make yourself stop drinking," the nurse empowers the client to recognize her agency in making positive changes. This response respects the client's autonomy and promotes self-efficacy. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not support motivational therapy principles. Option A uses fear tactics, which can be counterproductive. Option B dismisses the client's denial without building rapport. Option C focuses on external factors rather than empowering the client to take control of her behavior. Ultimately, choice D is the most appropriate as it encourages the client to take ownership of her actions and the change process.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is working with an adolescent girl who describes herself as a 'compulsive overeater' and presents with a history of using food to cope with stress. The nurse decides to use journaling as an intervention for this patient based on the rationale that journaling will help the patient identify which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because journaling can help the patient become more self-aware of her self-perception and responses to stress. By writing down thoughts and feelings, the patient can identify patterns in her behavior and emotions that contribute to compulsive eating. This self-reflection can lead to recognizing triggers for overeating and understanding how stress impacts her eating habits. Choice A is incorrect because it focuses solely on the frequency of compulsive eating without addressing the underlying emotional triggers. Choice B is incorrect as it emphasizes external factors in the daily schedule rather than internal emotional responses. Choice C is incorrect as it involves external behaviors of others triggering the patient's eating behavior, which may not be the primary focus for addressing compulsive overeating.
Question 4 of 5
Complete this analogy. NANDA: clinical judgment: NIC:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: nursing actions. NANDA provides nursing diagnoses, which guide clinical judgment in determining appropriate nursing interventions. Similarly, NIC (Nursing Interventions Classification) provides a standardized language for identifying nursing actions to achieve patient outcomes based on the identified nursing diagnoses. Therefore, the analogy between NANDA and clinical judgment is parallel to NIC and nursing actions. Summary: A: Patient outcomes - Incorrect. While patient outcomes are the ultimate goal of nursing care, NIC specifically focuses on the actions taken to achieve these outcomes. C: Diagnosis - Incorrect. NANDA provides nursing diagnoses, while NIC focuses on interventions rather than diagnoses. D: Symptoms - Incorrect. NIC is not focused on symptoms but rather on the actions nurses take to address the identified nursing diagnoses.
Question 5 of 5
A group of nursing students are reviewing information about psychodynamic theories. The students demonstrate a need for additional study when they identify which of the following as a humanistic theorist?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Carl Jung. Jung is not a humanistic theorist; he is known for his analytical psychology, which focuses on the collective unconscious and archetypes. Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow are humanistic theorists who emphasize self-actualization and the importance of human potential. Frederick Perls is associated with Gestalt therapy, not humanistic theory. Therefore, the nursing students need additional study to correctly identify Carl Jung as a psychodynamic theorist, not a humanistic one.
