Question 3 of 5
A distraught mother brings her ten-year-old-son to the pediatrician and explains that no matter how much she tries to encourage her son to read books, he shows no interest and gets really upset when she pushes him to have reading time. In school, he gets average grades and explains that he gets frustrated because the schoolwork makes no sense. What diagnosis would the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: dyslexia. Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that affects reading and related language-based processing skills. In this case, the child's lack of interest in reading, frustration with schoolwork, and difficulty understanding the material points towards dyslexia. Dysphagia (choice A) is difficulty swallowing, not related to reading. Dyscalculia (choice B) is a learning disability related to math, not reading. Dysgraphia (choice C) is a learning disability related to writing, not reading. Therefore, based on the symptoms described, dyslexia is the most likely diagnosis.
Question 4 of 5
A group of nursing students is reviewing information about the different types of group. The students demonstrate understanding of the information when they identify which of the following as a characteristic of a self-help group that differentiates it from a supportive therapy group?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: The group is led by a consumer. In a self-help group, members lead the group as they have personal experience with the issue being discussed. This is crucial for creating a supportive environment where individuals can share their experiences and provide guidance based on their own journeys. Option A is incorrect because self-help groups are typically not led by professionals. Option C is incorrect because even though there may not be a formal leader, members often take on leadership roles. Option D is incorrect because while self-help groups do focus on specific problems, the key differentiating factor is that they are led by individuals who have lived through those problems.
Question 5 of 5
When a new patient is hospitalized, a nurse takes the patient on a tour, explains rules of the unit, and discusses the daily schedule. The nurse is engaged in
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: milieu management. Milieu management involves creating a therapeutic environment that promotes the patient's well-being. In this scenario, the nurse is establishing the rules and daily schedule of the unit to help the patient feel safe and understand what to expect during their hospitalization. This process aims to create a supportive and structured environment for the patient. Explanation of why the other choices are incorrect: A: Counseling typically involves providing emotional support, guidance, and advice to help the patient cope with their situation. The nurse in this scenario is not primarily providing counseling. B: Health teaching involves educating the patient about their health condition, treatment, and self-care practices. While some health teaching may occur during the tour, the primary focus is on establishing the unit rules and schedule. D: Psychobiological intervention refers to interventions that address the interaction between psychological and biological factors. The nurse's actions in this scenario are more focused on environmental factors and establishing a therapeutic milieu rather than psychobiological interventions.
