Question 1 of 5
The emergency department nurse is assessing a female client with traumatic injuries. To assess whether or not the client's injuries have resulted from abuse, which question would be most appropriate for the nurse to ask the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it uses non-judgmental language to express concern and invites the client to share their experience voluntarily. It acknowledges the possibility of abuse without assuming the cause of the injuries. This approach promotes trust and open communication, allowing the client to disclose information at their own pace. Choice A is incorrect as it uses vague language and may not directly address the issue of abuse. Choice B is incorrect as it assumes the cause of the injuries and places blame on the husband without gathering facts. Choice D is incorrect as it focuses on the perpetrator rather than the client's experience, potentially making the client feel uncomfortable or defensive.
Question 2 of 5
A kosher diet is to the Jewish client as a halal diet is to the:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Muslim client. Both kosher and halal dietary laws originate from religious texts (Torah and Quran, respectively). Both require specific guidelines for permissible foods and preparation methods. Muslims follow halal dietary laws, which are similar to kosher laws but have additional restrictions. The other choices (A, C, D) do not have dietary laws similar to kosher or halal, making them incorrect options.
Question 3 of 5
What is a nursing intervention for a depressed client who reports reduced interest and pleasures?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: Encouraging participation in activities can help the client re-engage in pleasurable experiences, combating reduced interest. Step 2: Increasing activity levels can improve mood and motivation, addressing symptoms of depression. Step 3: This intervention aligns with evidence-based practice for managing depression. Summary: B: Collaborating with the prescriber is important but not a direct intervention for addressing reduced interest and pleasures in depression. C: Assisting the client to list positive self-characteristics can boost self-esteem but doesn't directly address reduced interest and pleasures. D: Scheduling rest periods may be helpful but doesn't specifically target the core symptom of reduced interest and pleasures.
Question 4 of 5
A male arrested for inappropriate sexual contact in a subway car denies the allegation. Upon interviewing the man, the nurse suspects frotteuristic disorder due to his:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because frotteuristic disorder involves non-consensual touching or rubbing against a non-consenting person for sexual gratification. The choice of "Lack of relationships" is correct as individuals with this disorder often have difficulty forming and maintaining intimate relationships. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because frotteuristic disorder is not associated with overall aggressive nature, criminal history including robbery, or intense hatred of women. These factors are not specific to the diagnosis of frotteuristic disorder.
Question 5 of 5
Which behavior best demonstrates aggression?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because grabbing a tray from the meal cart after stomping away from the nurses' station demonstrates a physically aggressive behavior. This action involves not only expressing anger but also engaging in a potentially harmful act by forcefully taking something. Choice B does not demonstrate aggression but rather shows emotional distress through crying and seeking comfort by hugging a pillow. Choice C shows assertiveness by expressing feelings of anger verbally but does not involve any physical aggression. Choice D displays refusal to take medication but does not involve physical aggression towards others.
