Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The aim of pelvic muscle exercises for a patient with urinary incontinence is to strengthen the muscles that control the vagina and urethra. These exercises, known as Kegel exercises, target the pelvic floor muscles that support the pelvic organs and help in controlling urinary function. Strengthening these muscles can help improve bladder control and reduce or eliminate urinary incontinence. Exercises that target the perineal area can also be beneficial in managing urinary incontinence, but the main focus is on strengthening the muscles that control the vagina and urethra.
Question 2 of 5
Because of the failure to replace the defective electric fan immediately, a fire broke out and it became big enough to burn a major portion of the unit because the fire extinguisher was missing. What lesson can be gained from this?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The lesson that can be gained from this scenario is that every protocol must be followed. In this situation, failure to replace the defective electric fan immediately and having a missing fire extinguisher directly led to the fire escalating and causing significant damage. By ensuring that all safety protocols and procedures are followed promptly and consistently, potential hazards and risks can be mitigated or prevented. It is crucial for employees to understand the importance of adhering to established protocols in order to maintain a safe working environment and prevent accidents or emergencies.
Question 3 of 5
Incident Reports (IRs) shall be collected for the day and due investigations scheduled by the quality Department. Upon completion of the investigation, the IRS ____.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Incident Reports (IRs) must be summarized monthly and stored in a secured cabinet for several reasons. Firstly, summarizing the IRs monthly allows for a consolidated overview of the incidents that have occurred, highlighting any recurring patterns or trends that may need to be addressed. By storing the summarized IRs in a secured cabinet, the information is kept confidential and protected from unauthorized access. This practice also ensures that the reports are organized and easily accessible for future reference or audits. Storing the IRs on an open cabinet, table top, or with a classification system that may not be easily understandable can lead to potential breaches of confidentiality or difficulty in retrieving and understanding the information when needed.
Question 4 of 5
What kind of sampling method should she apply?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In a stratified sampling method, the population is divided into subgroups or strata based on certain characteristics that are relevant to the research objective. This allows for representation from each subgroup in the sample, ensuring that different segments of the population are taken into account.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse develops the following hypothesis: Elderly women receive less aggressive treatment for terminally-ill spine patients than younger women. Which variable would be considered to be the independent variable?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is manipulated or determined by the researcher. In this hypothesis, the nurse is suggesting that the age of the patient (elderly vs. younger) influences the aggressiveness of treatment received. Therefore, the age of the patient is the independent variable in this scenario. The dependent variable would be the degree of treatment received, as it is expected to be influenced by the independent variable, which is the age of the patient.
