Adult Health Nursing First Chapter Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 9
The patient is shouting and cursing the nurse, the nurse slaps the patient. The nurse would be guilty of:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Battery is the intentional touching or use of force on another individual without their consent. In this scenario, the nurse's action of slapping the patient constitutes battery as it involves a deliberate physical contact without the patient's permission. This is different from assault, which involves the threat of harm, and abuse, which encompasses various forms of mistreatment. Ultimately, the nurse in this situation would be guilty of committing a battery by unlawfully striking the patient.
Question 2 of 9
Which of the following conditions is characterized by the presence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types and is associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is a premalignant condition of the cervix that is characterized by the presence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types. HPV infection is a major risk factor for the development of cervical cancer. CIN is typically detected on routine cervical screening tests such as Pap smears or HPV testing. If left untreated, CIN can progress to invasive cervical cancer. Therefore, the presence of high-risk HPV types in CIN lesions indicates an increased risk of developing cervical cancer.
Question 3 of 9
Which of the following is the PRIMARY goal of collaboration
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The primary goal of collaboration is to accomplish shared goals and objectives. When individuals work together towards a common purpose, they can combine their different skills, perspectives, and resources to achieve outcomes that could not be accomplished by working alone. Collaborating enables team members to leverage each other's strengths and expertise, leading to more innovative and effective solutions. While camaraderie and efficiency are important aspects of collaboration, the ultimate aim is to successfully achieve the desired goals.
Question 4 of 9
A health care provider instructs the nurse to bladder train a patient. The nurse clamps the patient's indwelling urinary catheter but forgets to unclamped it. The patient develops a urinary tract infection. What do the nurse's actions' exemplify ?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse's actions exemplify negligence. Negligence is a failure to provide reasonable care that results in harm to a patient. In this scenario, the nurse failed to unclamp the patient's indwelling urinary catheter as instructed by the healthcare provider. This failure to follow proper procedure led to the patient developing a urinary tract infection, which could have been prevented if the nurse had acted with reasonable care. This action does not meet the criteria for malpractice, assault, or battery as those involve intentional harm or professional misconduct, whereas negligence involves a lack of appropriate care or attention.
Question 5 of 9
A patient presents with a yellowish-white spot on the cornea, surrounded by a ring of inflammation. Slit-lamp examination reveals branching, filamentous opacities extending from the corneal lesion. Which of the following conditions is most likely responsible for this presentation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The described presentation of a yellowish-white spot on the cornea with a ring of inflammation, along with branching, filamentous opacities extending from the corneal lesion, is characteristic of fungal keratitis. Fungal keratitis typically presents with these specific features on clinical examination.
Question 6 of 9
Which type of plan should the nurse employ to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the organization?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To assess the strengths and weaknesses of the organization, the nurse should employ a strategic plan. A strategic plan involves setting overall goals, objectives, and strategies for the organization. It provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating the current state of the organization, identifying areas of improvement, and aligning resources to achieve long-term success. By using a strategic plan, the nurse can conduct a thorough analysis of the organization's internal and external factors, including its strengths and weaknesses, to determine the most effective course of action for the future.
Question 7 of 9
Nurse Crissel also asked the participants if they got to know the transmission of HIV based from her lecture? Which is NOT correct?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nurse Crissel likely informed the participants that HIV is not casually transmitted through activities like kissing. HIV transmission primarily occurs through activities that involve the exchange of bodily fluids, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. Accidental blood exposure, unprotected sex, and mother to child transmission are known routes of HIV transmission due to the direct exchange of bodily fluids containing the virus. However, the virus is not spread through saliva, including activities like kissing, which do not involve the exchange of significant amounts of bodily fluids.
Question 8 of 9
A patient with osteoarthritis of the hip undergoes surgical intervention with a total hip arthroplasty (THA). Which postoperative complication should the healthcare team monitor for in the immediate postoperative period?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Following total hip arthroplasty (THA), patients are at an increased risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) due to factors such as immobility, surgery-related vascular damage, and hypercoagulability. DVT refers to the formation of blood clots in the deep veins, typically in the lower extremities. These clots can break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a potentially life-threatening condition called pulmonary embolism (PE). Therefore, monitoring for signs and symptoms of DVT is crucial in the immediate postoperative period to promptly detect and prevent the development of complications such as PE. Common signs of DVT include leg swelling, pain, warmth, and redness. Additionally, healthcare providers may employ preventive measures such as early ambulation, compression stockings, and anticoagulant therapy to reduce the risk of DVT post-THA surgery.
Question 9 of 9
What must be stressed to all participants attending a health fair?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stressing to all participants attending a health fair that a screening program is not a substitute for ongoing health supervision from a healthcare provider is crucial for several reasons. Health fairs are intended to provide a snapshot of an individual's health at a specific point in time and are not comprehensive assessments. Participants need to understand that these screenings are not a replacement for regular check-ups with their healthcare provider, who can provide continued monitoring, follow-up care, and more in-depth evaluations if necessary. It's important for participants to recognize that the results from a health fair screening are just one piece of their overall health picture and that ongoing care from a healthcare provider is essential for maintaining their well-being.
