Introduction to Nursing Final Exam Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
What action should the nurse take immediately after instilling the prescribed eyedrops into the patient9s eye?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct action after instilling eyedrops is to press gently on the inner canthus area to prevent systemic absorption through the nasolacrimal duct. This helps minimize side effects and maximize therapeutic effect. Choice B is incorrect as wiping the eyelid can cause contamination. Choice C is unnecessary and can lead to decreased vision. Choice D is incorrect as maintaining pressure on the lower eyelid can disrupt drug absorption and cause irritation. Pressing on the inner canthus is the correct technique to ensure optimal drug delivery and minimize side effects.
Question 2 of 5
A client9s body uses physiologic mechanisms from within to respond to internal changes and maintain an essential balance. This process is known as:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: homeostasis. Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain internal stability and balance in response to changes in the external environment. It involves various physiological mechanisms that regulate temperature, blood pressure, pH levels, and other vital functions. Homeostasis ensures that the body functions optimally and stays within a narrow range of conditions necessary for life. Choice A, stress, refers to the body's response to external challenges and is not the process of maintaining internal balance. Choice C, self-regulation, is a broader term that can encompass various processes, including homeostasis but does not specifically refer to the maintenance of internal balance. Choice D, fight-or-flight response, is a specific physiological response triggered by perceived threats and is not the same as the overall process of homeostasis.
Question 3 of 5
If a nurse threatens to strike a client while rushing toward the person in an angry manner, which intentional tort has been committed?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Assault. Assault is the intentional act that causes a person to fear that they will be touched without their consent. In this scenario, the nurse's threatening behavior and angry approach towards the client create a reasonable fear of imminent harm, even if no physical contact occurs. Battery involves the actual unwanted touching, which has not occurred in this situation. Negligence refers to a failure to exercise reasonable care, but in this case, the nurse's actions were deliberate. Invasion of privacy involves intruding into someone's private affairs, which is not applicable here. Therefore, Assault is the correct choice.
Question 4 of 5
A family has recently immigrated to the United States. All members are quickly learning the language and the children are all in public school. Both parents are working and adapting to the new culture. What is this family demonstrating?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cultural assimilation. This family is actively adapting to the new culture by learning the language, sending children to public school, and working. Assimilation involves adopting the practices and values of the new culture while maintaining aspects of their own. Culture shock (A) is the disorientation experienced when encountering a new culture. Cultural blindness (C) is the inability to recognize or appreciate other cultures. Cultural imposition (D) is forcing one's own culture onto others, which is not demonstrated in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
What leadership style does the nurse manager demonstrate by shared decision-making with staff nurses?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Democratic. Shared decision-making with staff nurses demonstrates a democratic leadership style, where the leader involves the team in decision-making processes. This fosters collaboration, empowerment, and autonomy among team members, leading to increased job satisfaction and productivity. Autocratic leadership (choice A) is characterized by a top-down approach with little input from team members. Laissez-faire leadership (choice C) is hands-off and lacks guidance or direction, which can lead to confusion and lack of accountability. Situational leadership (choice D) involves adapting leadership style based on the situation, which can include elements of both autocratic and democratic styles, but in this context, shared decision-making aligns more closely with a democratic leadership approach.
