Population Based Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is leading a group for women who have experienced interpersonal violence. A client asks what research statistics tell about the perpetrators of interpersonal violence. The nurse can accurately respond that perpetrators are:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because research shows that perpetrators of interpersonal violence are most often someone the victim knows, such as a partner, family member, or acquaintance. This is supported by studies and data that indicate a significant majority of interpersonal violence cases involve perpetrators who have a prior relationship with the victim. Choice A is incorrect because while substance abuse can be a factor in some cases, it is not the primary characteristic of perpetrators. Choice C is incorrect as statistics show that perpetrators are usually known to the victim rather than being strangers. Choice D is also incorrect as psychotic states are not typically the primary cause of interpersonal violence, and most perpetrators are not in such a state during the act.
Question 2 of 5
Which outcome is realistic for a client with stage 1 Alzheimer's disease?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because in stage 1 Alzheimer's, individuals can still maintain a relatively high level of functionality. This is because in the early stages, the cognitive decline is mild and individuals can still perform daily tasks independently. It is important to focus on maximizing the client's functional abilities through cognitive exercises and support services. Choice A is incorrect because long-term placement may not be necessary in stage 1 and should only be considered if the caregiver's health is at risk. Choice C is incorrect because individuals with Alzheimer's should be encouraged to make decisions to maintain their sense of autonomy. Choice D is incorrect because Alzheimer's is a progressive disease that affects both cognitive and physical functions over time.
Question 3 of 5
Which situation would be most likely to serve as a trigger to a catastrophic reaction in a client with stage 2 Alzheimer's disease?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because being scolded for spilling milk can trigger feelings of shame, embarrassment, and confusion in a person with Alzheimer's stage 2. This negative interaction can lead to heightened agitation, aggression, or emotional distress due to the client's impaired ability to process and regulate emotions. In contrast, choices A, C, and D involve positive or neutral activities that are less likely to evoke such strong negative emotions or reactions in someone with Alzheimer's disease.
Question 4 of 5
Vascular dementia is more common in individuals living in:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Japan. Vascular dementia is more common in countries with a high prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Japan has a high prevalence of these risk factors due to lifestyle factors and aging population. The other choices (A, C, D) do not have the same level of risk factors or population demographics as Japan, making them less likely to have a higher incidence of vascular dementia.
Question 5 of 5
A 72-year-old client with dementia, who resides in a long-term care facility, frequently goes to her room and cries because she misses her children. This client could benefit most from which intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Audio presence therapy. This intervention involves playing recordings of loved ones' voices to provide comfort and emotional support. For a client with dementia missing her children, hearing their voices can help reduce feelings of loneliness and provide a sense of connection. Life review (A) may not directly address the client's current emotional needs. Doll therapy (B) and comfort touch (C) may provide some comfort but may not be as effective as directly hearing the voices of her children through audio presence therapy (D).
