Which of the following is TRUE about caring for the dead body?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Washing hands before and after (A) is true standard precaution, per post-mortem care. Rigor mortis starts 2-6 hours (B), not 24. Supine, not flexed (C), is typical, jewelry's removed (D) usually. A ensures safety, making it correct.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: External knee/leg rotation isn't done e.g., dorsal recumbent with slight flexion relaxes abdomen. Voiding, straightened legs, dorsal aid inspection. Nurses avoid e.g., clear view per norms.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Passing a board exam for legal work is licensure (A) practice permission, per law. Certification (B) specialty, policy (C) rules, advocacy (D) rights not legal-specific. A fits the nurse's qualification to care for Mr. Gary, making it correct.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Mortality is rate of death (B), per epidemiology e.g., fatalities. Not disease (A), not preventive (C), not condition (D) death-focused. B best defines mortality's outcome, making it correct.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Autonomic dysreflexia in spinal cord injury features hypertension and bradycardia (A) from unopposed sympathetic response below the injury. Paralysis (B) is baseline. Sweating/pyrexia (C) or tachycardia/shock (D) don't fit. A is correct. Rationale: Reflexive BP spike and slowed heart rate signal this emergency, requiring immediate action like removing stimuli, per SCI care.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: No longer working due to illness is role performance (A) social role ability, per definition. Self-esteem (B) worth, body image (C) body view, coping (D) response not role-specific. A fits role disruption, making it correct.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Gordon's Functional Health Patterns (1980s) assess stressors' impact on mind, body, and environment re: ADLs e.g., mobility post-stroke. Unlike head-to-toe (physical order), body systems (organ-based), or cephalocaudal (top-down), it's holistic, guiding nurses in comprehensive, function-focused care planning.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Third intention healing (C) occurs with delayed surgical closure of an infected wound, allowing time for infection control before suturing. First intention (A) involves primary closure of clean wounds with minimal scarring. Second intention (B) is healing by granulation in open wounds, without surgical closure. Fourth intention (D) isn't a recognized term in wound healing. In third intention, the wound is initially left open to drain and treat infection, then closed later, balancing infection management and tissue approximation. This matches the scenario of delayed closure, making C the correct answer based on wound healing classifications.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Nurses helping clients explore lifestyle habits and health behaviors to identify risks most likely use wellness models. These frameworks focus on holistic health promotion, emphasizing prevention and self-awareness over disease treatment, unlike the medical model's pathology focus. Wellness models, like Pender's Health Promotion Model, assess habits like diet or exercise to pinpoint risks and encourage positive change, aligning with nursing's preventive role. The psychosocial model addresses emotional factors, and the physiological model targets bodily functions, but neither fully encompasses lifestyle exploration. This approach empowers clients to take proactive steps, such as reducing smoking to prevent lung disease, enhancing overall well-being.
