Introduction to Nursing Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
What role does the nurse perform when providing health teaching to effect behavior change?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Teacher. Nurses provide health teaching to educate and empower individuals to make informed choices for behavior change. Teaching involves providing information, skills, and resources to promote positive health outcomes. Caregiver (A) involves providing physical care. Communicator (B) focuses on conveying information. Change Agent (D) refers to facilitating and supporting change but doesn't encompass the educational aspect essential for behavior change.
Question 2 of 5
What is correct about pulse oximetry measurement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because a normal oxygen saturation range is between 95-98%. This range indicates adequate oxygen levels in arterial blood. Choice B is incorrect because oximetry measures oxygen saturation of arterial blood, not venous blood. Choice C is incorrect as fasting is not required for pulse oximetry. Choice D is incorrect as pulse oximetry is a non-invasive tool used for quick oxygen saturation monitoring, not a replacement for arterial blood gas analysis.
Question 3 of 5
Elise is being weaned from parenteral nutrition (PN) and is expected to begin taking solid food today. The ongoing solution rate has been 100 mL/hour. The nurse anticipates that which prescription regarding the PN solution will accompany the diet prescription?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Decrease PN rate to 50 mL/hour. This is because as Elise transitions to solid food, her need for parenteral nutrition will decrease. Decreasing the PN rate to 50 mL/hour gradually weans her off PN while ensuring she is still receiving some nutrition. Choice A is incorrect as abruptly discontinuing PN can lead to nutritional deficiencies and potential complications. Choice C is incorrect as starting normal saline is unrelated to the weaning process from PN. Choice D is incorrect as continuing the current infusion rate would not facilitate the transition to solid food.
Question 4 of 5
Lifestyle-related diseases in general share common risk factors. These are the following except:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Physical activity. Lifestyle-related diseases, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes, are often linked to common risk factors like smoking, genetics, and poor nutrition. However, physical activity is not a risk factor but rather a protective factor that can help prevent these diseases. Regular exercise can improve cardiovascular health, manage weight, and reduce the risk of chronic conditions. Therefore, physical activity does not fit the criteria of a common risk factor shared by lifestyle-related diseases. Smoking, genetics, and poor nutrition are directly associated with an increased risk of developing such diseases.
Question 5 of 5
Once the client is in position the nurse visualizes the anus and is ready to insert the rectal tip. She is doing the procedure correctly when she directs the rectal tip to the:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Umbilicus. When performing a rectal procedure, the rectal tip should be directed towards the umbilicus for proper insertion into the rectum. The umbilicus is used as a landmark to guide the rectal tip into the correct position. Directing the tip towards the sigmoid (A) or large intestine (D) would be incorrect as it may lead to improper insertion. Choosing the rectum (C) is not specific enough as the rectal tip needs to be aimed towards a more precise point for accurate placement.
