Question 1 of 5
What is the greatest trigger for the development of a patient's nurse-focused transference?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the patient's history with their parents often influences their relationships and interactions with authority figures, such as nurses. Patients may transfer feelings, behaviors, and expectations from past experiences with parents onto nurses. This can result in nurse-focused transference. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because transference is primarily based on unconscious feelings and past experiences, not necessarily on similarities to disliked individuals, diagnosed mental illness, or authority levels.
Question 2 of 5
Which nursing actions demonstrate cultural competence? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because planning mealtime around the patient's prayer schedule shows respect for the patient's religious beliefs and cultural practices. This action demonstrates cultural competence by acknowledging and accommodating the patient's needs and preferences. The other choices, although important in addressing the spiritual and cultural needs of patients, do not specifically demonstrate cultural competence as directly as option A. Helping a patient visit with the hospital chaplain (B) and providing time for a patient's spiritual healer to visit (D) are important for spiritual support but may not necessarily address cultural competence. Researching foods for a lacto-ovo-vegetarian patient (C) is more related to dietary preferences rather than a demonstration of cultural competence.
Question 3 of 5
Lucas has completed his inpatient psychiatric treatment, which was ordered by the court system. Which statement reveals that Lucas does not understand the concept of conditional release?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. Conditional release implies certain conditions to be met. 2. Choice C indicates Lucas believes he is completely free from therapy, which goes against the concept of conditional release. 3. Lucas should understand that therapy and medication compliance are part of his conditional release. 4. Choices A and B show awareness of ongoing treatment, aligning with the concept of conditional release. Summary: Choice C is incorrect as it shows a lack of understanding of conditional release. Choices A and B are correct as they demonstrate Lucas's awareness of continuing treatment post inpatient care.
