Stage Theories of Health Behavior Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which approach should the nurse use when a client demands to have a phone installed in the intensive care unit room?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because assisting the client to discuss their anger and frustrations helps address the underlying emotions driving the demand for a phone. This approach acknowledges the client's feelings and promotes therapeutic communication. Providing an explanation (Choice A) may not address the client's emotional needs. Calling the physician (Choice C) may not be necessary at this stage. Arranging for a phone installation (Choice D) without addressing the client's emotional state may not resolve the underlying issue.
Question 2 of 5
Which outcome best addresses a child diagnosed with ASD's nursing diagnosis of disturbed personal identity?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because naming own body parts as separate signifies a development of self-awareness, addressing disturbed personal identity in ASD. Choice B focuses on communication, not personal identity. Choice C addresses social interactions, not personal identity. Choice D pertains to safety, not personal identity. In conclusion, only choice A directly targets the nursing diagnosis of disturbed personal identity in a child with ASD.
Question 3 of 5
Which information would the nurse include when teaching parents about task performance improvement for a child diagnosed with ADHD?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Dividing the homework task into smaller steps and providing an activity break helps children with ADHD manage their attention and focus better. This approach breaks down the task into manageable parts, reducing overwhelm and improving completion rates. It also incorporates movement and breaks, which are beneficial for children with ADHD. A is incorrect because isolating the child can lead to feelings of loneliness and may not address the underlying attention issues. B is incorrect as withholding privileges can create negative associations with homework and may not address the root cause of the attention difficulties. D is incorrect because adjusting medication should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional and not as a standard strategy for task performance improvement.
