Introduction to Nursing Chapter 1 Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
The student nurse has earned <As= in all of her prerequisite courses. For the first exam in a nursing course, she earns a <D= and now feels that she may not be smart enough to become a nurse. What type of <loss= is the student experiencing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Perceived loss. This is because the student nurse is feeling a sense of loss in her confidence and self-worth due to receiving a lower grade than expected. It is not an actual loss, as nothing tangible has been lost. It is also not a physical loss, as it doesn't involve a physical object or ability. It is not a situational loss, as that typically refers to a loss related to external circumstances. In this case, the student's feeling of inadequacy is based on her perception of her academic performance, making it a perceived loss.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse researcher who intends to interview clients about the factors that influence their compliance with insulin therapy and summarize the data as themes is doing quantitative research.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: TRUE. This is because the scenario describes a qualitative research approach, where the nurse researcher aims to gather in-depth insights and summarize data as themes. Quantitative research involves numerical data analysis and statistical methods, which is not the case here. Choice B is incorrect because the scenario does not align with quantitative research principles. Choice C is not applicable as there is a correct answer. Choice D is incorrect as it suggests all options are correct, which is not the case.
Question 3 of 5
Which area of a client9s space does the nurse function most often during physical assessment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Intimate. During a physical assessment, the nurse functions most often in the intimate area of the client's personal space. This area involves physical touch and close proximity to the client's body, such as when assessing vital signs, auscultating the heart and lungs, or examining genitalia. It is essential for the nurse to establish trust and maintain professionalism when working in the intimate space to ensure the client's comfort and privacy. A: Public space is too distant for physical assessment. B: Social space is used for casual interactions, not physical exams. D: Personal space is closer than public space but not as intimate as needed for physical assessment.
Question 4 of 5
Which nursing interventions will the nurse include in the plan of care for a confused older adult with dementia to facilitate communication? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because frequent face-to-face contact helps establish a connection and maintain attention with the confused older adult. This approach allows the nurse to monitor nonverbal cues and adjust communication accordingly. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Speaking calmly, simply, and directly (B) is generally helpful but not specific to facilitating communication with a confused older adult with dementia. Using clocks and calendars for orientation (C) may be overwhelming for someone with dementia. Answering questions in detail (D) can lead to confusion and may not be helpful for someone with cognitive impairment.
Question 5 of 5
The intensive care unit (ICU) nurse cares for a blind client, who is on contact precautions, maybe experiencing:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: sensory deprivation. Sensory deprivation refers to the inadequate amount or quality of sensory input. In this case, the blind client on contact precautions may experience a lack of visual, tactile, and auditory stimuli due to limited interaction and isolation. This can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and confusion. Choice A: Sensory deficit implies a reduced ability to perceive sensory information, which may not be directly related to the client's condition. Choice B: Sensory overload is an excessive amount of sensory stimuli, which is not likely in a controlled ICU environment for a blind client. Choice D: Sensory overstimulation suggests an overwhelming amount of sensory input, which is also unlikely for a blind client in an ICU setting.
