Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
Select the example of primary prevention.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Primary preventions are directed at healthy populations with a goal of preventing health problems from occurring. Helping school-age children describe normal emotions people experience promotes coping, a skill that is needed throughout life. Assisting a person with serious and persistent mental illness to fill a pill-minder is an example of tertiary prevention. Medicating an acutely ill patient who assaulted a staff person is a secondary prevention. Leading a psychoeducational group in a community care home is an example of tertiary prevention.

The nurse should refer which of the following patients to a partial hospitalization program? A patient who:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: This patient could profit from the structure and supervision provided by spending the day at the partial hospitalization program. During the evening, at night, and on weekends, the spouse could assume responsibility for supervision. A suicidal patient needs inpatient hospitalization. The other patients can be served in the community or with individual visits.
Question 5 of 5
Which Western cultural feature may result in establishing unrealistic outcomes for patients of other cultural groups?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Directly confronting problems is a highly valued approach in the American culture but not part of many other cultures in which harmony and restraint are valued. American nurses sometimes mistakenly think that all patients should take direct action. Patients with other values will be unable to meet this culturally inappropriate outcome.
