Which of the following statement is NOT true about Hospice care?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Hospice cares for terminally ill (A), includes family (B), and relieves symptoms (C), per hospice philosophy. Requiring a DNR (D) isn't true preferred, not mandatory; care focuses on comfort, not resuscitation status. D's absolute requirement misaligns with flexibility, making it the untrue statement.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Battery is touching without consent (C), per law e.g., unpermitted procedure. Standards (A) is malpractice, threat (B) assault, emotional harm (D) not key. C best defines battery's physical breach, making it correct.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Quadriplegia isn't an oral temp contraindication e.g., a paralyzed patient can hold a thermometer if alert. NGT (obstruction), dyspnea (breathing), and nausea (gagging) preclude it. Nurses opt for alternatives e.g., axillary per safety protocols.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: An electrical fire requires a Class C extinguisher, designed for energized electrical equipment like appliances or wiring. Class A suits ordinary combustibles (wood), Class B handles flammable liquids, and Class E isn't standard (often confused with electrical but not U.S.-classified). Using a Class C extinguisher, typically with non-conductive agents like carbon dioxide, ensures safety by avoiding shock while extinguishing. This choice protects both the nurse and client in a healthcare setting, aligning with fire safety protocols.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Disability is permanent loss of function (B), per definition e.g., amputation impact. Temporary (A) is impairment, absence (C) health, well-being (D) opposite. B best defines disability's chronicity, making it correct.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Hydration, gentle soap, and lotion address dryness and prevent cracking.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Age, immobility, incontinence, and malnutrition heighten pressure ulcer risk.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Thyroid hormone regulates metabolism e.g., energy use unlike calcium (parathyroid), sodium/potassium (adrenals). Nurses assess e.g., weight for function, per physiology.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Monitoring I&O ensures fluid balance with hyperosmotic enteral feeding.
