Question 1 of 5
The nurse does not take shortcuts for example failing to identify a client when administering medications. This is an example of critical thinking attitude:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Responsibility and accountability as a critical thinking attitude mean adhering to standards and owning outcomes, like verifying a client's identity before medication to ensure safety. This reflects duty to the patient and profession, avoiding errors (e.g., wrong patient dosing). Thinking independently involves personal judgment, not just following protocol, which this nurse does by sticking to rules. Fairness ensures impartiality, not directly tied to identification steps. Discipline implies consistency, overlapping with responsibility, but lacks accountability's emphasis on answerability. By not cutting corners, the nurse upholds ethical and safety standards, embodying responsibility and accountability, critical for trust and precision in medication administration, a high-stakes nursing task.
Question 2 of 5
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being not merely the absence of disease or infirmity;
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as 'complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease,' established in 1948. This holistic view shapes global health policy and nursing e.g., addressing mental health alongside infections. The World Diabetes Federation focuses on diabetes, not broad definitions. The International Council of Nurses supports practice standards, not health definitions. The American Nurses Association governs U.S. nursing, adopting WHO's view, not originating it. WHO's authoritative, universal definition drives health promotion, making it the source here.
