Concept of Family Health Nursing Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which intervention will have the greatest impact on reducing the stigma and rejection currently experienced by individuals with mental illness?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Educating local citizen groups on the needs and experiences of the mentally ill in their community. This intervention addresses the root cause of stigma - lack of understanding and awareness. By educating the community, misconceptions can be corrected, empathy can be cultivated, and stigma can be reduced. Choice A does not directly address stigma reduction but rather focuses on minimizing reliance on the community. Choice B, while promoting acceptance, may not necessarily tackle stigma at its core. Choice D, improving socialization skills, is beneficial but may not address the systemic issue of stigma. Ultimately, educating the community is key to fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for individuals with mental illness.
Question 2 of 5
In order to best evaluate the achievement of goals of individual stress management group members, the nurse leading the group:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because using a Likert scale to periodically ask group members to rate their ability to manage stress with the techniques learned provides quantitative data for evaluating progress. This method allows for tracking changes over time and identifying trends in stress management improvement. A is incorrect because it relies on subjective self-reporting at the last meeting only, which may not capture ongoing progress. B is incorrect as it focuses on individual demonstrations at each session, which may not reflect overall stress management improvement. D is incorrect as it relies on group evaluation at the final session, which may not provide consistent and individualized feedback throughout the program.
Question 3 of 5
A teenager who has a history of alcohol abuse wants to host a holiday party at his home. In order to best implement family-based measures to prevent the use of alcohol or drugs the parents will:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because by insisting on being home and visible during the party, the parents can actively supervise and monitor the activities, deterring any alcohol or drug use. They can intervene promptly if any issues arise. A: Refusing to allow the teenager to host the party may lead to rebellion and secretive behavior. C: Allowing the party in a public space does not guarantee supervision or control over alcohol/drug use. D: Having attendees sign a contract relies solely on their compliance without active supervision or monitoring.
Question 4 of 5
A client's history documents that there have been examples of indirect self-destructive behavior. Which nursing assessment data supports this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because reports of abusing alcohol since the age of 16 indicate a pattern of indirect self-destructive behavior. This behavior can lead to physical harm and other negative consequences. Option A directly mentions suicide attempts, not indirect behavior. Option C is unrelated to self-destructive behavior. Option D, while acknowledging suicidal thoughts, does not demonstrate a pattern of indirect self-destructive behavior like long-term alcohol abuse.
Question 5 of 5
During an initial assessment interview, the client reports using an herbal product to help manage his depression after his recent heart attack. The nurse demonstrates an understanding of the greatest risk of injury these circumstances pose to the client when asking:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale for Correct Answer (B): - The correct answer is B because the greatest risk of injury in this scenario is potential bleeding complications due to the use of herbal products. - Herbal products can interact with medications, including anticoagulants, increasing the risk of bleeding. - Asking about difficulty stopping bleeding helps assess for potential adverse effects of the herbal product on clotting factors. - This question directly addresses a specific risk associated with herbal product use in the context of a recent heart attack. Summary of Incorrect Choices: - Choice A is incorrect because while quality control issues may be a concern with herbal products, it is not the most immediate risk in this case. - Choice C is incorrect as it focuses on the source of the recommendation rather than the client's health risks. - Choice D is incorrect as it does not address the potential physical harm related to herbal product use after a heart attack.
