Question 1 of 9

This is the distinctive individual qualities that differentiate a person to another

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Personality encompasses traits behavior, mood, talents that make individuals unique, a psychological concept distinct from philosophy (beliefs guiding life), charm (social appeal), or character (moral values). In nursing, personality influences patient interactions e.g., an empathetic nurse builds trust differently than a reserved one. This individuality, shaped by upbringing and experience, impacts care delivery, making it a key focus in understanding nurse-client dynamics.

Question 2 of 9

Which of the following statement is TRUE about bioethics?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Bioethics addresses health care dilemmas (B), per its scope e.g., treatment choices, resource allocation. Not just end-of-life (A), not physician-only (C), not law (D) it's ethical. B reflects bioethics' role in care, making it true.

Question 3 of 9

Which of the following statement is NOT true about holistic care?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Holistic care addresses physical (A), emotional (B), and spiritual (C) needs 'focuses only on curing disease' (D) isn't true, as it prioritizes well-being over cure, per its philosophy. D contradicts holism's multidimensional focus, which includes comfort and meaning, not just disease eradication, making it the untrue statement.

Question 4 of 9

Budek is working with a schizophrenic patient. He noticed that the client is agitated, pacing back and forth, restless and experiencing Anxiety +3 . Budek said 'You appear restless' What therapeutic technique did Budek used?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Budek uses making observation (C), stating 'You appear restless' to reflect the client's behavior (pacing, agitation) at Anxiety +3 (severe). General leads (A) prompt broad responses (e.g., 'Tell me more'). Clarification (B) seeks explanation, not observation. Encouraging perception (D) asks the client's view. Observation opens dialogue neutrally, per therapeutic communication, making C correct.

Question 5 of 9

Mr. Gary, who has chronic pain wanted to consider Acupuncture to relieve his pain. Which of the following statement is NOT True about acupuncture?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Acupuncture uses needles (B), stimulates endorphins (C), and can relieve chronic pain (A), per studies it has scientific basis, making 'no scientific basis' (D) untrue. Research (e.g., NIH) supports its efficacy, refuting D, thus it's the correct false statement.

Question 6 of 9

Contemporary nursing requires that the nurse possess knowledge, skills and attitudes for a variety of professional roles and responsibilities. Examples include:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Contemporary nursing demands autonomy and accountability nurses independently make decisions within their scope and take responsibility for outcomes, reflecting roles like educator, advocate, and clinician. This aligns with evolving healthcare, where nurses lead initiatives (e.g., patient education) and answer for care quality. Health promotion and illness prevention are key foci but specific tasks, not broad role examples. Providing bedside care is traditional, not fully capturing modern diversity (e.g., research, management). Following physician orders reflects dependence, not the autonomy defining today's practice. Autonomy and accountability encompass the knowledge (clinical expertise), skills (critical thinking), and attitudes (responsibility) needed for multifaceted roles, making this the best fit for contemporary nursing's scope.

Question 7 of 9

When John has been given paracetamol, his fever was brought down dramatically from 40 degrees Celsius to 36.7 degrees in a matter of 10 minutes. The nurse would assess this event as:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Paracetamol dropping 40°C to 36.7°C in 10 minutes fully meets fever reduction goals e.g., normal range (36.6-38°C). Partial or unmet implies residual fever; undesired criteria suggest issues (none here). Nurses document this e.g., success per outcome standards.

Question 8 of 9

An obstetrical client calls the clinic with complaints of morning sickness. The nurse should tell the client to:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Keeping crackers bedside for pre-rising nibbling reduces morning sickness by settling stomach acid milk may worsen nausea, skipping meals risks hunger, and sugary juice lacks evidence. Nurses suggest this, easing early pregnancy discomfort safely.

Question 9 of 9

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of an effective Nurse-Client relationship?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Discouraging emotional bonds (D) isn't a characteristic of an effective nurse-client relationship; therapeutic bonds aid healing, per Peplau. Focus (A), trust (B), and acceptance (C) are key. D contradicts relational goals, making it correct.
