Which of the following statement best describe lifelong learning in nursing?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Lifelong learning is continuous knowledge growth (B), per nursing e.g., staying current. Not school-only (A), not one-time (C), not task (D) ongoing. B best defines learning's persistence, benefiting Mr. Gary's nurse, making it correct.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Mediating a care plan disagreement is conflict resolution (A) managing disputes, per definition. Command (B) hierarchy, policy (C) rules, informatics (D) tech not conflict-specific. A fits the nurse's action for Mr. Gary, making it correct.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: HMOs limit options (A), focus prevention (B), require referrals (D) 'allow any doctor' (C) isn't true, restrict choice, per model. C's freedom contradicts HMO rules, like Mr. Gary's limits, making it untrue.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Primary nursing assigns one nurse to oversee a patient's entire care, ensuring continuity and personalized attention from admission to discharge. Team nursing divides tasks among a group, reducing individual accountability. Home health nursing occurs outside hospitals, and critical care nursing focuses on acute conditions, not necessarily continuity. Primary nursing fosters trust, consistency, and tailored interventions, improving outcomes by aligning care with the patient's unique needs over time.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Divulging private patient information to the media is an intentional tort breach of confidentiality requiring deliberate action to disclose. Miscounting gauze, causing burns, or failing to monitor are negligence, unintentional failures in care. Intentional torts involve willful acts violating patient rights, and nurses must safeguard privacy under HIPAA and ethical codes, facing legal consequences if breached.
