Nursing Care of the Elderly as a Vulnerable Population Questions
Question 1 of 5
When is the optimal time for the nurse educator to elicit feedback from program participants?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, throughout the program. This ensures continuous communication and allows for real-time adjustments to meet participants' needs. Feedback throughout the program helps maintain engagement and improves learning outcomes. Options A and B are limited in scope and may miss important feedback points. Option C only captures feedback at the end, missing opportunities for immediate improvement. Overall, option D is the most effective as it allows for ongoing assessment and enhancement of the program.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse gives a very informative and engaging presentation and then gives everyone in the audience a handout that outlines the presentation. Later, the nurse discovers that many of the handouts were thrown away before the audience left the building. What might the nurse have forgotten?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because people generally prefer visual aids such as photographs and images over wordy outlines. Visual aids help enhance understanding and retention of information compared to text-heavy handouts. This choice addresses the issue of the handouts being thrown away, as it suggests that the audience may not have found the handouts engaging enough due to the lack of visual elements. Choice A is incorrect as it does not directly address the issue of handouts being thrown away. Choice B is also incorrect as it focuses on reading level rather than the format of the handouts. Choice D is incorrect as it suggests the issue was with the pace of information delivery rather than the format of the handouts.
Question 3 of 5
Of the following educational objectives, which example best meets all necessary criteria for a well-written objective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it meets the criteria for a well-written educational objective. It is specific (identifying two vegetables), measurable (80% accuracy), achievable (within class time), relevant to the learning content, and time-bound (by the end of class). Option A is not specific enough and lacks measurability. Option B is not achievable within the school's control. Option D is not measurable and lacks specificity.
Question 4 of 5
Despite a nurse's efforts, the teenagers she is working with just do not seem to want to learn. What content should the nurse try to include in her next educational session with this group? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because encouraging discussion of feelings can help the nurse understand the teenagers' perspectives, build trust, and create a safe learning environment. By addressing their emotions, the nurse can tailor the educational session to better resonate with the teenagers, making them more receptive to learning. Option B may come across as patronizing and may not address the underlying reasons for their lack of interest. Option C, emphasizing how easy the material is, may be perceived as dismissive of their struggles and can be demotivating. Option D, reminding them of external pressures, may add unnecessary stress and may not address the root cause of their disinterest.
Question 5 of 5
In which type of research project would the nurse primarily use analytic epidemiology as a tool?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Analytic epidemiology is used to investigate the causes and contributing factors of a health issue. In the context of the question, childhood obesity is a complex health problem influenced by various factors such as diet, physical activity, genetics, and environment. By using analytic epidemiology, the nurse can analyze these contributing factors to understand the root causes of childhood obesity and develop effective interventions. Other choices are incorrect because they primarily involve descriptive epidemiology (e.g., communicable disease statistics, documenting population characteristics) or surveillance (e.g., determining locations of family violence).
