Which of the following is a NOT a correct statement of an Outcome criteria?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Discusses fears (B) isn't outcome criteria; it's process, not measurable result, per nursing process. Others (A, C, D) are specific, observable outcomes. B lacks SMART specificity, making it incorrect.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Turkey, fresh sweet potato, and green beans are low in sodium, suitable for the diet.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: TENS is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (A), uses electrodes near pain sites (B), and operates via gate control theory (C) blocking pain signals per pain relief tech. All (D) are true, reflecting TENS' mechanism and use in practice, making it the correct choice as all statements align.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Pursed-lip breathing during activity prolongs exhalation, reducing air trapping in COPD caffeine overstimulates, supine worsens dyspnea, and bronchodilators aid exercise. Nurses teach this technique, improving oxygenation, essential for managing chronic respiratory disease.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Speaking for treatment choice is patient advocacy (A) supporting rights, per definition. Management (B) coordinates, literacy (C) understands, QI (D) enhances not rights-specific. A fits advocacy's voice, making it correct.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Florence Nightingale is recognized as modern nursing's founder, transforming it into a respected profession in the 19th century. Her work during the Crimean War improving sanitation, reducing mortality established nursing's scientific and caring ethos. She wrote 'Notes on Nursing,' formalizing education and practice standards, shifting nursing from untrained aid to a skilled discipline. Dorothea Orem developed the Self-Care Deficit Theory, influential but later (20th century). Jean Watson's Caring Theory emphasizes humanism, building on Nightingale's legacy, not founding it. Callista Roy's Adaptation Model is another modern framework, not foundational. Nightingale's pioneering efforts in hygiene, education, and professionalization laid the groundwork, making her the historical and symbolic founder of modern nursing globally.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Professionalism in nursing demands self-direction (autonomous decision-making), a spirit of inquiry (research-driven practice), and independence (accountability), traits ensuring quality care. Concern with quantity focusing on output over excellence clashes with this. Nurses prioritize quality, using tools like audits to assess effectiveness (e.g., patient recovery rates), not just the number of tasks completed. This aligns with Jahoda's definition and nursing's ethical code, where patient outcomes trump volume, a principle reinforced in practice standards and education.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Malpractice involves duty (A), requires harm (B), is negligence (D) 'always intentional' (C) isn't true, often unintentional, per law. C's intent contradicts malpractice's scope, like Mr. Gary's care errors, making it untrue.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Clamping above the port 30-60 minutes e.g., pooling fresh urine ensures an accurate sample, unlike below (stagnant) or short times (insufficient). Nurses perform this e.g., sterile syringe for reliable catheter specimens, per infection control and lab standards.
