Question 1 of 5
The nurse is addressing condom use in the context of a health promotion workshop. When discussing the correct use of condoms, what should the nurse tell the attendees?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hold the condom by the cuff upon withdrawal. This is important because holding the condom by the cuff helps prevent any potential spillage of bodily fluids. During withdrawal, holding the condom by the base prevents it from slipping off and minimizes the risk of exposure to sexually transmitted infections. Explanation of why other choices are incorrect: A: Attaching the condom prior to erection is incorrect as it may lead to breakage or slipping off during intercourse. B: Reusing a condom with the same partner is highly discouraged due to the risk of breakage, reduced effectiveness, and potential exposure to infections. C: Using skin lotion as a lubricant is not recommended as it can degrade the condom material, increasing the risk of breakage.
Question 2 of 5
A 31-year-old patient has returned to the post-surgical unit following a hysterectomy. The patients care plan addresses the risk of hemorrhage. How should the nurse best monitor the patients postoperative blood loss?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Count and inspect each perineal pad that the patient uses. This method directly measures postoperative blood loss and allows for accurate monitoring. It provides quantitative data to assess the severity of hemorrhage. A: Having the patient void and have bowel movements using a commode rather than toilet does not directly measure blood loss and may not provide accurate monitoring. C: Swabbing the patient's perineum for the presence of blood is not as accurate as directly counting and inspecting perineal pads. D: Leaving the patient's perineum open to air does not provide a method for quantifying blood loss and may not be as reliable as inspecting perineal pads.
Question 3 of 5
A patient has just been told that her illness is terminal. The patient tearfully states, I cant believe I am going to die. Why me? What is your best response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "This must be very difficult for you." This response acknowledges the patient's emotional state and shows empathy without making assumptions or dismissing their feelings. It validates the patient's emotions and opens up the opportunity for further discussion or support. Rationale: 1. A: "I know how you are feeling" assumes the tutor knows the exact emotions of the patient, which can come off as insincere or dismissive. 2. B: "You have lived a long life" does not address the patient's emotional distress or provide comfort in the face of a terminal illness. 3. D: "Life can be so unfair" does not directly address the patient's feelings and may come off as generic or cliché.
Question 4 of 5
Which behaviors indicate the student nurse hasa good understanding of confidentiality and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)? (Selectall that apply.)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Correct Answer: D Rationale: - Giving a change-of-shift report to the oncoming nurse about the patient is an appropriate action that maintains confidentiality by only sharing necessary patient information with authorized healthcare professionals. - A: Writing the patient’s room number and date of birth on a paper for school is a breach of confidentiality as it exposes sensitive patient information to unauthorized individuals. - B: Printing/copying material from the patient’s health record for a graded care plan is also a breach of confidentiality as it involves sharing patient information without proper authorization. - C: Reviewing assigned patient’s record and another unassigned patient’s record is a violation of HIPAA as it involves accessing patient information that is not necessary for the nurse's duties, risking unauthorized disclosure.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a patient about proteins that must be obtained through the diet and cannot be synthesized in the body. Which term used by the patient indicates teaching is successful?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Indispensable amino acids, also known as essential amino acids, must be obtained through the diet as the body cannot synthesize them. 2. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, so mentioning "indispensable amino acids" indicates understanding of essential dietary proteins. 3. Triglycerides are fats, not proteins, and not related to essential amino acids. 4. Dispensable amino acids can be synthesized by the body, so mentioning them would not indicate understanding of essential proteins.
