The nurse followed a protocol to prevent Mr. Gary's fall. This is an example of?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Following a fall protocol is safety protocols (A) guided safety, per definition. Management (B) reduces, policy (C) rules, transition (D) moves not protocol-specific. A fits the nurse's use for Mr. Gary's protection, making it correct.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: This definition is a foundational statement in global health, emphasizing a holistic view of well-being beyond just the absence of illness. It originated in 1948 when the World Health Organization was established, included in its constitution to guide international health policies. The United States Health Agency and National Institute of Health focus on national health initiatives and research, respectively, not global definitions. The National League for Nursing centers on nursing education, not broad health definitions. The World Health Organization's inclusion of physical, mental, and social dimensions reflects its mission to promote health universally, making it the source of this widely recognized statement used in healthcare education and practice worldwide.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Utilitarianism, founded by Bentham and Mill, judges actions by their consequences, aiming to maximize overall benefit. In healthcare, this might mean allocating resources to save more lives during a crisis. Formalism and deontology focus on duty, not outcomes, and transactional theory applies to management. Nurses apply utilitarianism in triage or policy decisions, weighing collective welfare, though it may conflict with individual rights, requiring careful ethical balancing.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Nursing's metaparadigm includes Person (patient), Environment (context), Health (wellness state), and Nursing (practice) core concepts defining the discipline. Diagnosis is a process within nursing, not a foundational element. Nurses use these paradigms to frame care holistically, ensuring focus on the individual, surroundings, and health goals, not just clinical tasks like diagnosing, which supports but doesn't define the field.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A well-written expected outcome follows the SMART criteria: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound. 'The patient will identify all the high-salt food from a prepared list by discharge' meets these standards: it specifies the action (identifying high-salt foods), provides a measurable method (from a prepared list), and sets a clear timeline (by discharge), ensuring it's achievable and realistic for patient education. In contrast, 'The patient will feel less nauseated in 24 hours' is vague and subjective, lacking a measurable indicator. 'The patient will eat the right amount of food daily' fails to define 'right amount,' making it unmeasurable and unspecific. 'The patient will have enough sleep' is similarly imprecise, with no clear metric or timeframe. The correctly written outcome supports effective care planning by providing a concrete, evaluable goal, critical for tracking patient progress.
