Introduction to Nursing 203 Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following are examples of a nurse demonstrating the professional value of altruism? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because providing information for a patient to participate in planning their care demonstrates altruism, as it involves selfless concern for the well-being of the patient. By empowering the patient to make informed decisions, the nurse shows a commitment to the patient's autonomy and dignity. Choices A, B, and D do not directly demonstrate altruism. A is about meeting a patient's language needs, B is about addressing pain management, and D is about confidentiality. While these actions are important, they do not specifically align with the professional value of altruism.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse refers a patient with a new colostomy to a support group. This nurse is practicing which of the following aims of nursing?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: facilitating coping. By referring the patient to a support group, the nurse is helping the patient cope with the emotional and psychological challenges of living with a new colostomy. This falls under the holistic care approach of nursing, addressing the patient's mental well-being. A: promoting health and B: preventing illness focus more on proactive measures to maintain health and prevent diseases, which are not directly related to the situation of the patient with a new colostomy. C: restoring health typically involves interventions to bring a patient back to their previous state of health, which may not apply to a patient with a permanent colostomy.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse should assess every client to determine if stress reduction interventions should be part of the plan of care. The rationale for this action is that:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because clients often develop maladaptive coping strategies in response to stress, which can negatively impact their health and well-being. By assessing for maladaptive coping strategies, the nurse can tailor interventions to help clients develop healthier coping mechanisms. Choice A is incorrect because stress levels may vary among individuals and are not necessarily higher than in the past. Choice B is incorrect as stress can often be predicted based on various factors. Choice D is incorrect as the increase in mental illness does not directly correlate with the need for stress reduction interventions.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse cares for a client who just had a massive myocardial infarction (MI). Which of the following stress reduction techniques would be applicable to this client? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Promoting a heart-healthy diet is essential for a client who just had a massive MI to reduce stress on the heart and prevent further complications. A diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can help manage cholesterol levels and blood pressure, reducing the workload on the heart. Encouraging smoking cessation (B) is also important as smoking increases the risk of another MI. While adequate sleep (C) and low-intensity exercise (D) are beneficial for overall health, they may not be suitable immediately after a massive MI due to the need for rest and careful monitoring of physical activity.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is noting an order for a medication to be given TID. Which times will the nurse plan to administer the medication to the patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C (9 A.M., 1 P.M., and 5 P.M.) because TID stands for "ter in die," which means three times a day at equally spaced intervals. Administering the medication at 9 A.M., 1 P.M., and 5 P.M. follows this schedule, ensuring consistent therapeutic levels in the patient's system. A. Nightly before the patient goes to sleep is incorrect because TID does not imply administration at night. B. 9 A.M. and 9 P.M. is incorrect as it only covers two doses, not three as required for TID. D. 9 A.M., 1 P.M., 5 P.M., and 10 P.M. is incorrect because it includes an extra dose at 10 P.M., deviating from the TID dosing schedule.
