Client Health and Safety Specifications Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following are nursing care guidelines when preparing a body for the morgue? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because leaving the hospital ID band in place ensures proper identification of the deceased individual. This step is crucial to prevent any mix-ups or confusion. Assessing vital signs (A) is unnecessary as the person is already deceased. Checking the death certificate (C) is not a nursing responsibility. Following institutional policies (D) is important but not specific to preparing the body for the morgue.
Question 2 of 5
Which step of the nursing process involves setting long-term goals and short-term expectations?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Planning. In the nursing process, Planning involves setting long-term goals and short-term expectations based on the assessment data gathered in the previous step. This step includes developing a care plan that outlines the interventions needed to achieve the desired outcomes. Assessment (choice A) involves collecting and analyzing data, Implementation (choice C) is the actual carrying out of the care plan, and Evaluation (choice D) involves assessing the outcomes achieved compared to the goals set during the planning phase. Planning is essential for effective nursing care as it guides the interventions and ensures the patient's needs are addressed appropriately.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is filling out an incident report after an older adult client fell while attempting to transfer this person from bed to a commode. Which health problem should the nurse consider when client falls occur?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Orthostatic hypotension. This condition is characterized by a drop in blood pressure when moving from lying down to standing up, leading to dizziness and falls. In the scenario provided, the older adult client fell while attempting to transfer to a commode, indicating a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing. Bradypnea (A) refers to abnormally slow breathing rate and is not directly related to falls. Palpitations (B) are rapid or irregular heartbeats and do not directly cause falls. Primary hypertension (C) is high blood pressure that is typically asymptomatic and does not directly lead to falls. Therefore, the most likely health problem to consider in this scenario is orthostatic hypotension due to its association with falls during position changes.
Question 4 of 5
A young adult female is schedule for her annual gynecological exam which includes a Pap smear, which is a screening test for:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: cervical cancer. A Pap smear is a screening test specifically designed to detect abnormal cells on the cervix that could potentially develop into cervical cancer. It is not a test for pregnancy (choice A), breast cancer (choice B), or sexually transmitted infections (choice D). Regular Pap smears are crucial for early detection and prevention of cervical cancer.
Question 5 of 5
What type of logical reasoning is the nurse using when he/she/they starts with the big picture and anticipates specific findings?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Deductive. Deductive reasoning starts with a general principle or theory and applies it to specific situations to draw conclusions. In this scenario, the nurse is using deductive reasoning by starting with the big picture (general principle) and anticipating specific findings (applying the principle to specific situations). Inductive reasoning (choice A) involves drawing general conclusions based on specific observations. Careful reasoning (choice C) and critical reasoning (choice D) are broad terms that do not specifically describe the type of logical reasoning being used in this context.
