Introduction to Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is true of long-term care facilities?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because long-term care facilities provide care to individuals of any age who require assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. This choice is true as these facilities cater to individuals with various health conditions or disabilities, not just older adults. Choice A is incorrect because long-term care facilities serve individuals of all ages, not just older adults. Choice B is incorrect as these facilities do not specifically cater to homeless adults but rather to anyone in need of long-term care services. Choice D is incorrect because long-term care facilities provide care to individuals with a range of conditions, not limited to those with dementia.
Question 2 of 5
Legally speaking, how would the nurse ensure that care was not negligent?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because documenting nursing actions in the patient's record is a legal requirement to ensure care is not negligent. This provides a detailed account of the care provided, serving as legal evidence in case of any disputes. Verbal reporting (A) may not be documented and can be easily forgotten or disputed. Private notes (B) may not be accessible to others involved in the patient's care and can be subjective. Tape recording (D) raises privacy concerns and may not be a standard practice in healthcare settings.
Question 3 of 5
In what type of documentation method would a nurse document narrative notes in a nursing section?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: source-oriented record. In this method, each discipline (such as nursing) maintains their own section with narrative notes. This allows for easy tracking of information specific to each discipline. A: problem-oriented medical record focuses on patient problems. C: PIE charting system stands for Problem, Intervention, Evaluation and is a different method of organizing data. D: focus charting is a type of narrative charting that emphasizes patient concerns rather than specific disciplines.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse caring for a patient with diabetes chooses an appropriate plan of care and devises interventions to accomplish the desired outcomes. This is an example of using which of the following type of nursing skills?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cognitive. By choosing an appropriate plan of care and devising interventions for a patient with diabetes, the nurse is utilizing cognitive skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making. This involves analyzing information, synthesizing knowledge, and applying evidence-based practices to achieve desired outcomes. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Technical skills refer to hands-on abilities like taking vitals or administering medication. C: Interpersonal skills involve communication and building relationships with patients, not specifically related to care planning. D: Ethical/Legal skills are about understanding and adhering to ethical principles and legal regulations in nursing practice, not directly related to care planning and intervention.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse has been tried and found guilty of the felony crime of forgery. How might this affect the nurse's license to practice nursing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because a felony conviction, such as forgery, can lead to revocation or suspension of a nurse's license. Licensing boards have strict regulations to ensure public safety and trust in healthcare professionals. A felony conviction raises concerns about the nurse's integrity and ability to provide safe care. Choices A and B are incorrect because a felony conviction typically does impact the nurse's ability to practice at any level. Choice D is incorrect as not all licenses permanently carry felony convictions, but they can lead to severe consequences like revocation or suspension.
