Question 1 of 5
Two adult siblings are caring for their ill mother, who requires 24-hour care: she needs assistance with feeding, bathing, and toileting. One of the siblings takes time to exercise after work. The other sibling goes directly to the mother's home before and after work each day. The nurse recognizes that people may react differently to the same stressors depending on various factors. What are some of these factors? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Amount of perceived stress. This is because individuals may react differently to stressors based on how they perceive the level of stress they are experiencing. Factors such as previous experiences, personality, and support systems can influence how stress is perceived. Hair color (B) and skin type (D) are not relevant factors in how individuals react to stress. Individual coping skills (C) are important, but they are more about how individuals manage stress rather than how they initially perceive it.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse cares for a patient, who has been taking ibuprofen for back pain x 3 weeks, was admitted to the hospital for abdominal pain. Which assessment data takes priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Occult blood in stool can indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, a serious complication of prolonged ibuprofen use. 2. Gastrointestinal bleeding can lead to anemia, hypovolemia, and shock. 3. Promptly addressing bleeding is crucial to prevent further complications. 4. Diarrhea, Hematuria, and Ova & Parasites are less likely related to ibuprofen use for back pain and are not immediate priorities.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is developing a plan of care for a client with disturbed body image. Which interventions would the nurse most likely include in the plan? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A (Establish rapport with the client) because building a trusting relationship is essential in addressing disturbed body image. By establishing rapport, the nurse can create a safe environment for the client to express their feelings and concerns. Choice B (Role model appropriate behavior) may not directly address the client's distorted body image issues and might not be as effective as building rapport. Choice C (Encourage client to make positive self-statements) may be helpful in boosting self-esteem, but it may not address the underlying causes of the disturbed body image. Choice D (Assist the client in accepting responsibility for own actions) is not directly related to addressing disturbed body image and may not be as effective as building rapport in this context.
Question 4 of 5
In relationship to the nurse's ability to communicate with a client, which type of communication most effectively demonstrates professional competence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Interpersonal. Interpersonal communication involves direct interaction between the nurse and client, showcasing active listening, empathy, and respect. This type of communication fosters trust, understanding, and therapeutic relationships, reflecting professional competence. Public communication (A) involves addressing large audiences and may lack the personal connection needed in client interactions. Small group communication (B) involves communication within a limited group and may not be as focused on individual client needs. Intrapersonal communication (D) refers to self-talk and reflection, which is important but not directly related to communicating with clients.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse conducting a community health promotion class on sexuality includes that a person's biologic sex is determined by:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because biologic sex is determined by both external and internal genitalia, which are physical characteristics present at birth. This is based on chromosomal and hormonal factors that dictate the development of male or female reproductive organs. Choice A is incorrect as sexual intercourse does not determine biologic sex. Choice C refers to gender identity, not biologic sex. Choice D pertains to sexual orientation, not biologic sex. In summary, the physical characteristics of external and internal genitalia are the key factors in determining a person's biologic sex.
