Introduction to Professional Nursing Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the most critical element of documentation of teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: evidence that learning has occurred. This is the most critical element as it demonstrates the effectiveness of the teaching. Evidence of learning ensures that the patient has understood the information and can apply it. Without this evidence, it is difficult to assess the impact of the teaching. A summary of the teaching plan (choice A) is important for organization but does not directly show if learning has occurred. The implementation of the teaching plan (choice B) is necessary but does not guarantee learning. Patient need for learning (choice C) is important to consider but does not assess if learning has actually taken place.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following are nursing care guidelines when preparing a body for the morgue? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: The hospital ID Band is left in place. This guideline is crucial for proper identification of the deceased individual. Removing the ID band could lead to confusion or misidentification. Vital signs assessment (A) is unnecessary post-mortem. Checking for a signed death certificate (C) is not a nursing responsibility. Following policies and procedures (D) is important but not specific to preparing a body for the morgue.
Question 3 of 5
Your patient is a 17-year-old client who lost her right leg in a motor vehicle accident. After her parents leave, she asks you, <Why did God let this happen to me? I have always followed his commandments.= Which action best depicts the <Caring= aspect of SENC? Explain your thinking.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Holding her hand, sitting with her, and listening best depicts the "Caring" aspect of SENC (Systematic Empathetic Nursing Communication). This action shows empathy, presence, and active listening, which are crucial in supporting the patient emotionally. It allows the patient to express her feelings and concerns freely. A: Calling the parents back may provide support, but it doesn't directly address the patient's emotional needs. B: Suggesting the Chaplain can help is important, but in this scenario, direct emotional support from the nurse is essential. C: Crying with the client may not be appropriate as it can escalate the patient's emotions and blur professional boundaries.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse researcher must decide on the method for conducting the research. Which method of research emphasizes the collection of numerical data and analysis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Quantitative research. This method emphasizes collecting numerical data and analysis to draw conclusions. It involves using statistical tools to quantify data and generalize results. Basic research (A) focuses on expanding knowledge, while applied research (B) aims to solve practical problems. Qualitative research (C) gathers non-numerical data for in-depth understanding. By choosing quantitative research, the nurse researcher can objectively measure and analyze data to address research questions effectively.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is providing care to a terminally ill client. Which finding would alert the nurse to the fact that the client is dying? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Pale, cool skin. In terminally ill clients, the body's circulation decreases, leading to reduced blood flow to the skin, resulting in pale, cool skin. This is a common sign that the client is in the dying process. Irregular heart rate (B) and decreased urine output (D) can be present in the dying process but are not specific enough to definitively indicate imminent death. Strong, bounding pulse (C) is actually more indicative of good circulation and would not typically be seen in a client who is actively dying.
