Question 2 of 5
An adult dies in a tragic accident. Afterward, the siblings plan a funeral service. Which statement by a sibling best indicates a sense of self-actualization?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it demonstrates a sense of self-actualization by focusing on finding meaning and positivity in a difficult situation. The sibling acknowledges the unfairness of the death but aims to create a service that celebrates life, showing acceptance, growth, and a higher level of personal fulfillment. Choice A: This statement focuses on the sibling's experience rather than reflecting on the significance of the funeral service. Choice B: While this statement emphasizes conducting the funeral respectfully, it lacks the personal growth and positive outlook that characterize self-actualization. Choice D: This statement is judgmental and places blame on the deceased sibling, showing a lack of understanding and empathy, which is not indicative of self-actualization.
Question 3 of 5
Select the most appropriate label to complete this nursing diagnosis: related to feelings of shyness and poorly developed social skills as evidenced by watching television alone at home every evening.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Social isolation. In this scenario, the individual is experiencing isolation due to feelings of shyness and lack of social skills, leading them to watch TV alone every evening. This choice directly reflects the situation described and addresses the root cause of the behavior. A: Deficient knowledge does not address the social aspect of the issue. B: Ineffective coping implies the individual is trying to cope with a specific stressor, not necessarily related to social interactions. D: Powerlessness does not capture the essence of the individual's situation, which is more about social withdrawal than a sense of powerlessness.
Question 4 of 5
A cruel and abusive person often uses rationalization to explain the behavior. Which comment demonstrates use of this defense mechanism?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it demonstrates rationalization by shifting blame onto the provoked person instead of taking responsibility for the abusive behavior. The person justifies their actions by claiming the other person provoked them, which is a common tactic used by abusers to avoid accountability. Choice A lacks justification or reasoning for the behavior. Choice B refers to a lack of impulse control, not rationalization. Choice D shows introspection and self-awareness, which is not characteristic of rationalization. Thus, C is the best example of rationalization in this context.
Question 5 of 5
A psychiatric-mental health nurse is providing care to a patient who has recently emigrated to the United States from Eastern Europe. Which of the following would be least effective in providing culturally competent care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Speaking to the patient in his native language may not necessarily be the most effective approach as not all individuals from the same culture speak the same language. It is important to recognize that language and culture are not always directly correlated. Demonstrating genuine interest (A), avoiding assumptions (B), and acquiring information about the patient's country (D) are all crucial aspects of providing culturally competent care as they help in understanding the patient's background, beliefs, and values. However, assuming that speaking the patient's native language automatically promotes cultural competence overlooks the diversity within cultures.
