Question 1 of 5
What is the term for clients' movement between treatment settings?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: transition of care. Transition of care refers to clients moving between treatment settings, ensuring continuity and coordination of care. Rehospitalization (A) specifically refers to clients being admitted back to the hospital. Adverse event (B) refers to harm resulting from medical care. Readmission (C) is similar to rehospitalization, specifically indicating clients being admitted back to a hospital after a previous discharge. Transition of care (D) is the most appropriate term as it encompasses the movement of clients between various healthcare settings beyond just hospitals.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing a 78-year-old client who lives alone in his own home. To assess the client's instrumental activities of daily living, which question would be most appropriate to ask?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because assessing the client's ability to go to the store and buy groceries directly evaluates their instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), which are crucial for independent living. This question helps determine the client's mobility, cognitive function, and ability to manage finances and nutrition. Choices A and B focus more on basic activities of daily living (ADLs) related to personal hygiene and clothing changes. Choice C is related to cooking meals, which is also an IADL but may not provide as comprehensive information about the client's overall independence compared to the ability to shop for groceries.
Question 3 of 5
You are caring for Ellie, age 91, whose provider has written a 'DNR-CCO' order. Which nursing action would be appropriate if Ellie were to go into cardiac arrest?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Administer prescribed medication morphine for pain control. In this scenario with a 'DNR-CCO' order, the focus is on comfort care rather than resuscitation. Administering morphine for pain control aligns with the patient's wishes and provides comfort during a potentially distressing event. Calling for the code team (A) and initiating CPR (D) would go against the DNR order. Notifying the attending physician and family (B) is important but not the immediate nursing action needed during a cardiac arrest in this case.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is working with a family and using the Calgary Family Model. Problems have been identified, and the family being in which stage of the model?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Assessment. In the Calgary Family Model, the Assessment stage involves identifying and understanding the problems within the family system. This is where the nurse gathers information about the family's strengths, resources, and challenges. The nurse assesses the family's structure, communication patterns, roles, and interactions to develop a comprehensive understanding of the family dynamics. Engaging with the family (Choice A) occurs before the Assessment stage. Intervention (Choice C) comes after the Assessment stage when specific strategies are implemented. Termination (Choice D) is the final stage when the nurse concludes their work with the family.
