Question 2 of 5
After the data analysis of their study, experiences of pregnant women in labor, they returned to the participants to determine the accuracy of the emerged themes. Which criteria of trustworthiness is the group doing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Confirmability is the criteria of trustworthiness that refers to the degree to which the findings of a study are based on the data itself and not on the biases, motivations, or interests of the researchers. In this scenario, returning to the participants to confirm the accuracy of the emerged themes is a way to ensure the confirmability of the study findings. By involving the participants in the validation process, the researchers are seeking to verify that the themes identified truly reflect the experiences of the pregnant women in labor as reported by the participants. This practice enhances the credibility and trustworthiness of the study's findings by confirming their alignment with the participants' perspectives and experiences.
Question 3 of 5
The patient has been ordered a regimen to treat a urinary tract infection and notifies the nurse that the patient's urine has turned an orange color. The nurse recognizes that the patient is most likely being treated with which drug?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Phenazopyridine HCl (Pyridium) is a medication commonly used to relieve the pain, burning, and discomfort associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs). One of the notable side effects of Phenazopyridine is the discoloration of urine, turning it a rusty-red or orange color. This color change is harmless and temporary, but it can be alarming to patients who are unaware of this side effect. Therefore, if a patient undergoing treatment for a UTI notices their urine has turned orange, it is most likely due to the administration of Phenazopyridine.
Question 4 of 5
When the nurse placed the patient in restraints before using other methods of intervention, she/he violated the patient's rights to ______.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Placing a patient in restraints before utilizing other less restrictive interventions violates the patient's right to receive treatment in the least restrictive environment. Restraints should be used as a last resort when all other options have been exhausted, as they can be restrictive to the patient's movement and freedom. Patients have the right to be treated in a manner that minimizes limitations on their personal freedom and autonomy. Restraints should only be utilized when absolutely necessary for the safety of the patient or others.
Question 5 of 5
An EMT approaches an accident victim. The victim says, "Don't touch me!" The EMT says, you need help, but the victim replies NO! don't touch me. If the EMT takes the victim by the arm and forces the victim into the ambulance, the EMT could be guilty of:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Battery refers to the intentional and offensive physical contact with another person without their consent, resulting in harm or injury. In this scenario, the victim clearly expressed their unwillingness to be touched or helped by saying, "Don't touch me!" multiple times. By ignoring the victim's refusal and physically forcing them into the ambulance, the EMT is committing battery even though they may have had good intentions to provide assistance. It is important for medical professionals, including EMTs, to always respect a person's right to refuse medical treatment or assistance, even in emergency situations.
