Treatment of hypothermia by active core warming is done by all except:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Active core warming treats severe hypothermia by directly heating internal systems: airway rewarming (warm humidified air), extracorporeal rewarming (blood warming). Passive external rewarming (blankets) relies on body heat, not active core methods. Nurses use active techniques in critical cases, rapidly raising core temperature to prevent organ failure, contrasting with passive's slower effect.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Cutting food and encouraging self-feeding leverages the client's unaffected left side post-CVA, promoting independence puree isn't needed unless swallowing's impaired, left-side tray placement helps, and quick feeding risks aspiration. Nurses support autonomy, enhancing dignity in stroke recovery.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Healthy People sets evidence-based goals to boost U.S. health, and reducing adolescent marijuana use is a key objective cutting substance use lowers risks like addiction or mental health issues, aligning with illness prevention and youth wellness. More nurses or hospital funding, while supportive, aren't direct objectives workforce and economics underpin goals, not define them. Reducing insurance companies isn't a target; access expansion is. Marijuana reduction tied to data showing rising teen use fits the initiative's focus on behavior and health outcomes, guiding nursing to educate or screen in schools. This objective reflects nursing's preventive role, tackling a measurable public health issue with broad impact, distinct from structural fixes, and rooted in decades of Healthy People's population-focused vision.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: One minute between BP readings e.g., arm reperfusion ensures accuracy, per AHA. Longer waits (5-30 min) are for activity rest, not re-reads. Nurses time this e.g., quick repeat for reliable trends, standard in sequential monitoring.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Resource allocation is fair distribution of resources (B), per ethics e.g., beds, staff equitably. Not one patient (A), not patient-decided (C), not skill (D) system-based. B best defines allocation's justice focus, like Mr. Gary's hospital context, making it correct.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Pain is subjective (A) and multidimensional (B), varying by perception and experience, per pain theory. Pain threshold (C) the point of noticing pain differs between individuals, not the same, making it untrue. Tolerance (D) varies with factors like culture, psychology true. C's universal claim contradicts evidence of individual variation, making it the correct false statement.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Feeling good post-recovery is self-concept (A) self-perception, per definition. Coping (B) manages stress, illness behavior (C) sick reaction, culture (D) beliefs not self-view. A fits positive self-image, making it correct.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The nursing process is a systematic, rational approach encompassing all care phases.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Patient-centered care focuses on patient needs (B), per IOM e.g., Mr. Gary's preferences. Not nurse-led (A), not routine (C), not cost (D) patient-driven. B best defines its tailored approach, making it correct.
