Introduction to Nursing Profession Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is admitting a patient newly diagnosed with peripheral artery disease who takes clopidogrel. Which admission order should the nurse question?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Exercise to the point of discomfort should be questioned because in patients with peripheral artery disease, it is important to avoid excessive exertion that could worsen symptoms or lead to complications. Cilostazol and omeprazole are commonly used in the management of peripheral artery disease and do not have contraindications with clopidogrel. The use of treadmill for exercise is beneficial for patients with peripheral artery disease as it helps improve circulation and overall cardiovascular health.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following tasks could be delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because assisting patients with hygiene is a task that can be safely and appropriately delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). UAP are trained to provide basic care such as bathing, grooming, and toileting under the supervision of licensed nurses. This task does not require complex critical thinking skills or clinical judgment. Choice A is incorrect because an initial assessment of a patient requires a licensed healthcare provider due to the need for comprehensive clinical knowledge and critical thinking skills. Choice B is incorrect because determining a nursing diagnosis involves analyzing assessment data and formulating a plan of care, which requires specialized nursing education and training. Choice C is incorrect because evaluating patient progress with the nursing care plan involves interpreting data, making clinical judgments, and modifying the plan of care as needed, which are responsibilities of licensed nurses.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following roles of the nurse are most important in providing continuity of care to patients? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: teacher. Providing education to patients ensures they understand their condition, treatment, and self-care, leading to continuity of care. Collaborator (B) focuses on working with other healthcare professionals, not directly related to continuity. Mentor (C) helps with professional growth but not directly related to patient care continuity. Advocate (D) supports patients' rights but does not directly contribute to continuity of care.
Question 4 of 5
What is required of a patient who leaves the hospital against medical advice (AMA)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because when a patient leaves the hospital against medical advice (AMA), signing a form releasing legal responsibility is required to protect the hospital from potential legal issues. This form documents that the patient is fully aware of the risks of leaving AMA and takes responsibility for their decision. Choice A is incorrect because hospitals have legal concerns regarding patient safety and liability. Choice B is incorrect as reimbursement of medical expenses is not the primary concern in this situation. Choice C may be helpful for follow-up care but does not address the legal implications of leaving AMA.
Question 5 of 5
A student has reviewed a patients chart before beginning assigned care. Which of the following actions violates patient confidentiality?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: 1. Writing the patient's name on the care plan violates confidentiality by exposing the patient's identity to unauthorized individuals. 2. Providing plans to the instructor, discussing medications with a unit nurse, and sharing information with the physician are all within the scope of patient care and do not breach confidentiality. 3. Patient's identity should be protected at all times to maintain trust and privacy.
