Question 1 of 5
What is the number one chronic illness according to the National Council on Aging?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: arthritis. Arthritis is the number one chronic illness according to the National Council on Aging due to its high prevalence among older adults. Arthritis causes joint pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility, impacting quality of life. Heart failure (A) and hypertension (D) are also common chronic conditions but are not ranked as the number one chronic illness by the National Council on Aging. Diabetes (B) is a significant chronic illness but is not the primary focus of the National Council on Aging's ranking. Arthritis's impact on daily functioning and quality of life makes it the top chronic illness for older adults.

B: Focusing on improving self-care knowledge is important but not necessarily advocating for the client's rights or needs.

Question 3 of 5
A client who has a 10 a.m. appointment at an outpatient psychiatric clinic arrives at noon, stating,"I was visiting with my mother." How should the nurse interpret the client's failure to arrive on time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The client is a member of a cultural group that is present oriented. In some cultures, being present-oriented means focusing more on the current moment rather than adhering strictly to schedules or appointments. This cultural perspective values interpersonal relationships and may prioritize spending time with family over punctuality. In this scenario, the client's delay in arriving may be due to cultural norms rather than intentional disrespect or defiance. It is important for healthcare providers to be culturally competent and understanding of different cultural perspectives to provide effective care. Summary: B: The client being passive-aggressive is not supported by the information given. C: The client rejecting traditional medicine is not relevant to the situation described. D: There is no evidence to suggest that the client is defying authority by arriving late.
Question 4 of 5
A patient repeatedly stated, "I'm stupi" Which statement by that patient would show progress resulting from cognitive-behavioral therapy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it shows a shift in thinking from a global, negative self-view to a more specific acknowledgement of occasional mistakes. This demonstrates progress in cognitive restructuring, a key component of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Choice B reflects a pattern of negative thinking without self-reflection, while choice C indicates a fear of failure in trying new things. Choice D shows self-criticism without recognition of potential for improvement. Overall, choice A is the most indicative of cognitive-behavioral therapy progress by acknowledging specific instances of behavior rather than a global self-assessment.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is talking with a patient, and 5 minutes remain in the session. Another patient comes to the door of the room, interrupts, and says to the nurse, "I really need to talk to you." The nurse should
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it acknowledges the interrupting patient's needs while respecting the current patient's time. By informing the interrupting patient that the current session has 5 more minutes, the nurse sets clear expectations and boundaries. This approach prioritizes both patients' needs and manages the situation effectively. A: Inviting the interrupting patient to join in the session with the current patient may not be appropriate as it could compromise the current patient's confidentiality and disrupt the ongoing session. B: Directly refusing to talk with the interrupting patient may come off as dismissive and unprofessional, potentially escalating the situation. C: Ending the current session abruptly to attend to the interrupting patient disregards the current patient's time and needs, leading to a poor patient experience.
