Correct Answer: B

Rationale:

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following best describes the role of a nurse advocate?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Advocate for patient needs.' A nurse advocate's primary role is to stand up for the patient's rights and ensure their needs are met. Choice A, 'Direct patient care provider,' is incorrect as while nurses do provide direct patient care, the specific role of a nurse advocate goes beyond that. Choice C, 'Manage nursing staff,' is incorrect as this pertains to a nurse manager's role, not a nurse advocate. Choice D, 'Ensure policy adherence,' is also incorrect as this reflects more of a quality assurance or compliance role, rather than the advocacy role of a nurse advocate.

Question 3 of 5

A staff nurse is working with a patient who is on a critical pathway for education in preparation for home care. Which one of the following responsibilities would the nurse address first?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Reviewing the information with the client and family should be addressed first. This step involves ensuring that the client and family fully understand the information provided, which is crucial before proceeding with any other responsibilities. Taking vital signs (choice A) is important but not the priority in this scenario. Answering the client's questions (choice B) and evaluating client teaching (choice C) can come after reviewing the information to ensure effective communication and understanding.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following is the preferable alternative to firing an employee?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The preferable alternative to firing an employee is voluntary resignation. When an employee voluntarily resigns, it allows them to leave on their terms, maintaining their dignity and possibly avoiding negative consequences associated with being fired. Training, confrontation, and coaching are not alternatives to firing but rather methods that can be used to address performance or behavior issues before resorting to termination.

Question 5 of 5

A client is discussing the use of herbal supplements for health promotion with a nurse. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of herbal supplement use?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Ginkgo biloba is commonly used to improve blood circulation and relieve symptoms of cognitive disorders like dementia. The other choices are incorrect because echinacea is used to boost the immune system, feverfew is used for migraines and headaches, and ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and aiding digestion, not memory improvement.
