Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a patient and uses the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire as part of the assessment. The nurse determines that the patient has experienced a major life crisis with which score on the questionnaire?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The Recent Life Changes Questionnaire assigns a numerical value to different life events. Major life crises are associated with higher scores on the questionnaire. The correct answer is D (450) because it represents a significantly high score indicating a major life crisis. Choices A, B, and C have lower numerical values, which do not reflect the severity of a major life crisis. Therefore, D is the correct choice for identifying a major life crisis based on the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is planning discharge teaching for cord care for the parent of a newborn. Which instructions would you include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Keep the cord dry until it falls off. This is the correct instruction for cord care as it helps prevent infection. Keeping the cord dry creates an environment that is less conducive to bacterial growth. Moisture can lead to bacterial growth and increase the risk of infection. By keeping the cord clean and dry, the parent can help promote healing and prevent complications. The other choices are incorrect: A: Contact provider if the cord still turns black - The cord naturally darkens and dries up as it heals, so it turning black is a normal part of the healing process. B: Clean the base of the cord with hydrogen peroxide daily - Hydrogen peroxide can be too harsh and may delay healing. Using a neutral pH cleanser is a better choice for cord care. D: The cord stump will fall off in five days - The cord typically falls off between 10-14 days after birth, so this instruction is inaccurate and may lead to unrealistic expectations.
Question 4 of 5
During assessment, the nurse asks a patient to explain what the following means: 'A penny saved is a penny earned.' The nurse is assessing which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Abstract reasoning. This is because the patient is being asked to interpret and understand a proverb, which requires the ability to think conceptually and make connections between different ideas. Abstract reasoning involves thinking in symbols, understanding complex concepts, and drawing inferences. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Affect refers to emotions and mood, which are not directly related to interpreting a proverb. B: Attention relates to focus and concentration on a specific task, not interpreting abstract concepts like proverbs. C: Concentration involves the ability to focus on a task or information, but it does not necessarily involve abstract thinking or interpretation of concepts.
Question 5 of 5
A male arrested for inappropriate sexual contact in a subway car denies the allegation. Upon interviewing the man, the nurse suspects frotteuristic disorder due to his:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because frotteuristic disorder involves non-consensual touching or rubbing against a non-consenting person for sexual gratification. The choice of "Lack of relationships" is correct as individuals with this disorder often have difficulty forming and maintaining intimate relationships. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because frotteuristic disorder is not associated with overall aggressive nature, criminal history including robbery, or intense hatred of women. These factors are not specific to the diagnosis of frotteuristic disorder.
