Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is an expected reaction from a client who has just been told by the physician that his tumor is malignant and has metastasis in to several organs?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A malignant, metastatic diagnosis often triggers grief's depression stage (Kübler-Ross), with crying as a natural emotional release. Criticism, withdrawal, or seeking consultations may reflect denial or bargaining, less immediate than sorrow. Nurses expect and support this reaction, offering empathy and presence, facilitating coping as patients process a life-altering prognosis, critical for emotional care.
Question 4 of 5
During the planning phase of the nursing process, which of the following is the outcome?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The planning phase of the nursing process culminates in the creation of a nursing care plan, which outlines specific, measurable goals and interventions tailored to the patient's needs. This plan serves as a roadmap for the implementation phase, ensuring care is individualized and goal-directed. The nursing history, collected during assessment, provides background data but isn't the outcome of planning. Nursing notes document ongoing care and observations, occurring throughout the process, not specifically as a planning product. The nursing diagnosis, formulated in the diagnosis phase, identifies problems but precedes planning; it informs the care plan rather than being its outcome. By producing a nursing care plan, the planning phase bridges assessment and action, enabling nurses to address patient needs effectively and evaluate progress, making it the clear and logical result of this critical step in the nursing process.
Question 5 of 5
A theory is a set of concepts, definitions, relationships and assumptions that:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A theory in nursing, like Orem's Self-Care Deficit, comprises concepts (e.g., self-care), definitions (clarifying terms), relationships (how concepts interact), and assumptions (underlying beliefs), all to explain phenomena patterns or events like patient recovery. This explanatory role guides practice by providing a lens to understand health-related behaviors or outcomes. Formulating legislation is unrelated; theories inform policy indirectly but aren't legal tools. Measuring nursing functions might be a research outcome, not a theory's purpose, which is broader and conceptual. Reflecting the domain of nursing practice describes what theories encompass but not their active function explanation drives their utility. By explaining phenomena, theories offer nurses frameworks to predict, interpret, and address patient needs, making this the most accurate description of a theory's role in nursing science.
