The nurse used a team model for Mr. Gary's care. This is an example of?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Team model for care is care delivery model (A) structured approach, per definition. Policy (B) rules, education (C) teaches, epidemiology (D) patterns not model-specific. A fits care structure, making it correct.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Slander is oral defamation, like calling a physician incompetent.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Hypokalemia (low potassium) impairs intestinal motility, causing abdominal distention from gas or ileus. Edema relates to fluid imbalance, muscle spasms to hypocalcemia, and Kussmaul breathing to acidosis not potassium. Nurses assess for distention, weakness, or arrhythmias, correcting levels to restore gastrointestinal and muscular function, vital for patient stability.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct order is denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Treating Mr. Gary first for criticality is triage (A) need-based priority, per definition. Justice (B) fairness, fidelity (C) promises, coordination (D) organization not urgency-specific. A fits the nurse's prioritization, ensuring efficient care, making it correct.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Selecting the best method to measure body temperature depends on the client's condition and clinical context. This client recently underwent oral surgery, which likely involved trauma, incisions, or packing in the mouth, making the oral route (A) inappropriate due to potential discomfort, inaccuracy from inflammation, or risk of injury to surgical sites. The client's flushed and warm skin suggests a possible fever, requiring a reliable method. Axillary measurement (B) is non-invasive but less accurate (typically 0.5°C lower than core temperature) and may not reflect true systemic temperature in critical situations. An arterial line (C) is invasive, used for continuous monitoring in critical care, and not practical for routine temperature assessment. The rectal route (D) provides a core temperature reading (about 0.5°C higher than oral), is unaffected by oral surgery, and is reliable for detecting fever in this scenario. Despite being slightly more invasive, it ensures accuracy when oral access is compromised, making D the best choice for this post-surgical client with signs of fever.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A profession, like nursing, is characterized by altruism (serving others selflessly), autonomy (independent practice within scope), and formal education (structured training, e.g., degrees). Concern with quantity and earnings, however, prioritizes output and profit over service quality, clashing with nursing's ethos of patient-centered care. Professions emphasize expertise and ethics nurses aim for outcomes like recovery, not quotas. Altruism drives nurses to prioritize patient needs, autonomy allows clinical decisions (e.g., care plans), and education ensures competence. Quantity and earnings might describe business, not professions, where quality trumps volume. This misfit makes it the attribute least aligned with professional traits, distinguishing nursing's service orientation from commercial goals.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: After implementing a solution, evaluating its effectiveness is the most critical step in the nursing process. This ensures the chosen intervention meets the client's needs, allowing adjustments if goals aren't achieved. Discarding unused solutions ignores potential future relevance, while implementing a second solution without evaluation risks inefficiency or harm. Declaring problem-solving complete without assessing outcomes neglects accountability and client safety. Evaluation involves observing results like reduced pain after medication and comparing them to expected outcomes, refining care as needed. This reflective practice upholds evidence-based care, ensuring interventions are successful and responsive to the client's evolving condition.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: HMO limiting doctors for cost is managed care (A) structured system, per definition. Medicare (B) and Medicaid (C) fund, prevention (D) avoids not cost-focused. A fits managed care's control, making it correct.
