Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'That is in situ.' Cancer in situ means that the cancer is still localized to the primary site. Cancer is graded in terms of tumor, grade, node involvement, and metastasis. Answer A is incorrect because Tis indicates a tumor that is in situ and can be assessed. Answer C is incorrect because T indicates tumor, not node involvement. Answer D is incorrect because a tumor that is in situ is not metastasized.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A realistic short-term goal for a client who was raped and is receiving a brief treatment program is for the client to verbalize feelings about the event. This goal focuses on helping the client express their emotions, which can be a crucial step in the healing process. Options A and C are incorrect because a brief treatment program is not typically aimed at identifying or resolving all psychosocial problems or deep-rooted trauma and fear. Option B is also incorrect as the goal is to support the client in processing their feelings rather than focusing on behaviors.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Victims of domestic violence are often correct at predicting their risk of harm. It is crucial for the nurse to ensure that the client is expressing herself authentically and not downplaying any potential danger. While victims can be insightful about their risk, it's essential to involve proper authorities, such as the police, in situations of intimate partner violence to ensure safety and provide necessary support. Choice B is incorrect because victims may not necessarily overestimate their safety risk. Choice C is incorrect as not all victims are in a state of denial; some may recognize the dangers they face. Choice D is incorrect because victims may not believe that keeping peace with their partner is the best way to prevent future attacks, as each individual's situation and mindset vary.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The use of clichés in therapeutic communication is commonly construed by the client as the nurse's lack of understanding, involvement, and caring, which can lead the client to feel demeaned and discounted. Choice A is incorrect because clichés do not make the client view the nurse as less understanding but rather as lacking depth in communication. Choice B is incorrect as clichés do not directly lead the client to accepting themselves as human. Choice C is incorrect because clichés usually hinder self-disclosure rather than encourage it.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Medication bound to protein reduces the availability of the drug to produce desired medicinal effects because only unbound drugs can effectively bind to active receptor sites. When a drug is bound to protein, it cannot bind with receptor sites, limiting its therapeutic impact. Choice A is incorrect because drug availability is reduced when it is bound to protein. Choice B is incorrect as rapid distribution to receptor sites is not possible if the drug is bound to protein and cannot bind with receptors. Choice D is incorrect as metabolism does not increase when the drug is bound to protein; the liver first needs to separate the drug from the protein before metabolism can occur.
