Introduction to Professional Nursing Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing care to a terminally ill client. Which finding would alert the nurse to the fact that the client is dying? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Pale, cool skin. In terminally ill clients, the body's circulation decreases, leading to reduced blood flow to the skin, resulting in pale, cool skin. This is a common sign that the client is in the dying process. Irregular heart rate (B) and decreased urine output (D) can be present in the dying process but are not specific enough to definitively indicate imminent death. Strong, bounding pulse (C) is actually more indicative of good circulation and would not typically be seen in a client who is actively dying.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following topics for the client education of a pregnant woman should the nurse prioritize in an effort to promote healthy fetal development?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Nutrition. Proper nutrition is crucial for healthy fetal development as it provides essential nutrients for the baby's growth. During pregnancy, the woman's body needs increased amounts of vitamins, minerals, and protein to support the baby's development. A well-balanced diet can help prevent birth defects and ensure optimal growth. Physical activity is important but can vary depending on individual circumstances. Infection prevention is also crucial, but nutrition directly impacts fetal development. Stress management is important for overall health but does not have a direct impact on fetal development. Prioritizing nutrition ensures the baby receives the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and development.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Laissez-faire. This leadership style is characterized by minimal supervision and allowing employees to make their own decisions. In this scenario, the charge nurse is giving the staff the autonomy to choose their assignments and resolve any conflicts themselves, reflecting a hands-off approach typical of laissez-faire leadership. Incorrect choices: B: Democratic leadership involves collaborative decision-making, which is not evident in the scenario. C: Transactional leadership is based on a system of rewards and punishments for performance, which is not demonstrated here. D: Autocratic leadership is characterized by a top-down approach with strict control and little input from employees, which is not the case in this scenario.
