Which of the following phrases best describes a value?
Correct Answer: C

Question 2 of 5
A patient gets out of bed following hip surgery and falls and re-injures her hip. The nurse caring for her knows that it is her duty to make sure an incident report is filed. Which of the following statements accurately describes the correct procedure for filing an incident report?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because incident reports should contain all the variables related to the incident for accurate documentation and analysis. Step 1: Documenting all details ensures transparency and provides a complete picture. Step 2: Including variables like date, time, location, individuals involved, and details of the incident helps in understanding the cause and implementing preventive measures. Step 3: Omitting critical information may hinder the investigation and resolution process. Therefore, choice D is correct. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Choice A is incorrect as incident reports are typically filled out by the person directly involved in the incident. Choice B is incorrect because including names of staff involved is crucial for accountability and follow-up. Choice C is incorrect as incident reports are meant for improving processes, not for punitive measures.
Question 3 of 5
Two adult siblings are caring for their ill mother, who requires 24-hour care: she needs assistance with feeding, bathing, and toileting. One of the siblings takes time to exercise after work. The other sibling goes directly to the mother9s home before and after work each day. The nurse recognizes that people may react differently to the same stressors depending on various factors. What are some of these factors? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Amount of perceived stress. This factor is crucial because individuals can experience the same stressor differently based on how they perceive and interpret it. This influences their emotional and physiological responses. Hair color (B) and skin type (D) are not relevant factors in determining how individuals react to stress. Individual coping skills (C) are important, but they are a result of how individuals perceive and handle stress rather than a factor influencing their initial reaction. Thus, the amount of perceived stress is the most relevant factor in understanding how individuals react to stressors.
Question 4 of 5
Which patients does the nurse identify as high risk for situational stress? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because a woman recovering from a car accident is at high risk for situational stress due to the traumatic experience and potential physical and emotional challenges. This patient may experience fear, anxiety, and various stress-related symptoms. A, an infant learning to walk, is not typically considered high risk for situational stress as this is a normal developmental milestone. C, a young couple expecting their first child, may experience stress, but it is more likely related to adjustment rather than a situational stressor. D, a man getting married to his long-time girlfriend, may experience stress related to the event but it is not typically classified as situational stress.
Question 5 of 5
What type of document states in writing the patient's healthcare choices or wishes if the person is unable?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Advanced care directive. This document allows individuals to specify their healthcare preferences in advance, including life-sustaining treatments, if they become unable to communicate. Verbal consent (A) is not a formal document and may not be legally binding. Durable power of attorney (C) designates someone to make healthcare decisions but may not include the patient's specific wishes. Comfort measures only (CMO) order (D) specifies end-of-life care but does not encompass broader healthcare choices.
