Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: - Patient outcomes are essential in a critical pathway for CHF to track progress and effectiveness of interventions. - Expected length of stay is not a core component but can be useful for resource planning. - Assigned healthcare team is important but not a core component in the critical pathway. - Medical history is relevant but not essential in the development of a critical pathway for CHF.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse manager wants to implement a new policy on the unit. What is the first step in the change process according to Lewin's Change Theory?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Unfreeze the system. According to Lewin's Change Theory, the first step in the change process is to unfreeze the current state or system to prepare for change. This involves creating awareness of the need for change, addressing any resistance, and establishing a sense of urgency. Moving the system to a new level (choice B) and refreezing the system (choice C) are subsequent steps in the change process after unfreezing. Evaluating the system (choice D) comes later in the process to assess the effectiveness of the change implemented. Therefore, unfreezing the system is the critical initial step to facilitate successful change implementation.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse manager needs to buy six new hospital beds for the unit. What type of budget will be used for this expenditure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Capital budget. A capital budget is used for long-term investments in assets like equipment and facilities, such as hospital beds. This type of budget is for significant expenditures that have a lasting impact on the organization. Operating budget (A) covers day-to-day expenses, not major purchases. Salary budget (C) is for staffing costs, not equipment purchases. Revenue budget (D) focuses on projected income, not capital expenditures. Therefore, the capital budget is the appropriate choice for buying new hospital beds.
Question 4 of 5
What behaviors can be observed before a person becomes violent? (EXCEPT)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because wandering is not typically associated with violent behavior. Tense shoulders and clenched fists (B), blank stare (C), and positioned with one foot in back and an arm pulled back (D) are commonly observed behaviors before a person becomes violent. Tense shoulders and clenched fists indicate agitation, a blank stare can indicate aggression, and the specific body positioning described in D suggests readiness for physical aggression. Wandering, however, is more likely to indicate confusion or aimlessness rather than impending violence.
Question 5 of 5
On a voting ballot, the individuals who are to be elected during a vote are called:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Candidates. Candidates are individuals who are running for election and seeking to be elected to a specific position. They are the ones whose names appear on the voting ballot for voters to choose from. Representatives (A) are individuals who have already been elected to represent a group or constituency. Bargaining agents (C) are individuals who negotiate on behalf of others, typically in labor relations. The electorate (D) refers to all the eligible voters in a particular election, not the individuals who are running for election. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it specifically identifies the individuals seeking election on a voting ballot.
