Correct Answer: B

Rationale: After a patient treated with intramuscular glucagon for hypoglycemia regains consciousness, providing a snack of peanut butter and crackers is essential to prevent another episode of hypoglycemia. Peanut butter and crackers contain a combination of protein and carbohydrates, which can help stabilize the patient's blood glucose levels. This choice is the most appropriate immediate action to prevent recurrence of hypoglycemia in this scenario. Assessing for symptoms of hyperglycemia (choice A) is not the immediate priority after treating hypoglycemia. While orange juice or nonfat milk (choice C) can help raise blood sugar, they lack the sustained effect of protein found in peanut butter. Administering continuous infusion of dextrose (choice D) is excessive and not indicated after the patient has already regained consciousness.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In this scenario, the nurse is experiencing negative emotions towards the patient's behavior. By understanding the patient's motivation, the nurse can gain insight into the underlying factors that led to the behavior, helping to avoid being judgmental. This approach allows the nurse to provide care and support without letting personal feelings interfere. Understanding motivation can also aid in developing a therapeutic relationship and providing appropriate care tailored to the patient's needs. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as while state laws, the patient's social history, and the code of ethics are important aspects to consider in healthcare, they do not directly address the nurse's feelings of disgust and the need to avoid being judgmental towards the patient's behavior.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Caritas. The act of inquiring about a patient's state of mind and emotional needs reflects the concept of Caritas in Dr. Watson's theory. Caritas involves showing deep concern, compassion, and love for the patient, going beyond just the physical aspects of care. Choice A, Intentionality, refers to the capacity for nurses to act deliberately with an ultimate goal in mind. Choice B, Curiosity, is not directly related to the specific action described in the question. Choice D, Holism, involves considering the patient as a whole being, including physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects, but it is not specifically demonstrated by inquiring about emotional needs and state of mind.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Functional.' In a functional structure, organizations group employees into departments based on specialty, where similar tasks are performed by the same group. In this scenario, the hospital organizing its departments by specialty such as nursing, dietary, and pharmacy aligns with the characteristics of a functional structure. Choice A, 'Parallel,' does not fit the scenario described; parallel structures involve separate, independent units operating in parallel with little interaction. Choice C, 'Service-integrated,' does not align with the scenario either as it involves integrating services across departments. Choice D, 'Matrix,' is not the correct answer as it involves a complex organizational structure where employees report to multiple managers simultaneously, which is not the case in the scenario provided.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Problem-solving process. The problem-solving process involving seven specific steps is a structured approach that nurses can utilize when immediate action is required. This method allows for a systematic and organized way of addressing urgent issues, ensuring a thorough and effective problem-solving approach. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not specifically refer to the structured method involving seven specific steps that nurses can follow for effective problem-solving.
