Core Concepts of Family Centered Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which documentation indicates that the treatment plan for a patient in an alcohol rehabilitation program was effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it demonstrates a positive change in behavior and mindset. The patient has been abstinent for 10 days, shows commitment to sobriety, and has a supportive employer. This indicates progress and readiness to reintegrate into work. Choice B shows longer abstinence but still relies on external factors for control. Choice C focuses on helping others rather than personal progress. Choice D mentions limitations on alcohol consumption, which may not reflect true recovery.
Question 2 of 5
The goal of crisis intervention has been met when a mother who lost her job:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the goal of crisis intervention is to help the individual cope with the crisis and move towards a positive resolution. In this case, the mother describing her new job as better than the old one indicates that she has successfully transitioned from the crisis of losing her job to a positive outcome. Choice A is incorrect because just beginning a job search does not guarantee a successful resolution. Choice B is incorrect as resolving anger towards the employer is not the primary goal of crisis intervention. Choice D is incorrect because accepting a job that requires moving may not necessarily mean it is a better job than the previous one.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse demonstrates an appropriate use of outcome measurements on a mental health unit when:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because reassigning a client's activity level based on his demonstration of disregard of appropriate social boundaries demonstrates using outcome measurements effectively in mental health care. This shows that the nurse is monitoring the client's behavior and adjusting the care plan accordingly to promote positive outcomes. A is incorrect because requiring a caregiver to attend a discharge planning meeting does not directly relate to outcome measurements for the client's mental health progress. C is incorrect because providing clean linen according to a schedule does not demonstrate the use of outcome measurements for mental health assessment and intervention. D is incorrect because permitting the son to bring ethnic foods does not directly relate to monitoring and adjusting the client's care plan based on observed behaviors.
Question 4 of 5
Which nursing intervention best demonstrates an understanding of the effects of mental illness in the creation of secondary at-risk populations?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why choice B is correct: 1. Mental illness can impact parenting skills. 2. Assessing parenting skills of a father with OCD is crucial to understand potential risks to the child. 3. OCD may affect parenting abilities, leading to neglect or inappropriate care. 4. By assessing parenting skills, nurses can identify and address risks to the child's well-being. Summary of why other choices are incorrect: A: Educating junior high students on drug abuse is important but does not directly address at-risk populations created by mental illness. C: Assessing friends for signs of eating disorders is relevant but does not focus on understanding the impact of mental illness on caregiving roles. D: Providing information on behavior modification to parents is helpful but does not directly assess the impact of mental illness on parenting skills.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse demonstrates an understanding of the first assumption of Stuart's Stress Adaptation Model when:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: The first assumption of Stuart's Stress Adaptation Model is that the client is a part of a larger system involving family and social support. By encouraging a client's adult children to accompany their parent to family group therapy sessions, the nurse is acknowledging and incorporating the client's support system. This aligns with the model's focus on involving family members in the client's care to promote adaptation and stress management. This approach recognizes the importance of social support in the client's overall well-being. Summary of Other Choices: B: Discussing interventions with the health team focuses on collaboration and coordination but does not specifically address the client's family support system as required by the model. C: Planning interventions based on a nursing theory is important but does not directly align with the first assumption of involving the client's family. D: Identifying community resources is beneficial, but it does not specifically address the client's family support system, which is the primary focus of the first assumption in Stuart
