Rationale: Anxiety's source is unrecognized (C), making D ('recognized entity') untrue. Anxiety has physiologic (A) and psychologic (B) components e.g., racing heart, worry per Freud and nursing theory. Its hallmark is vague, unidentified dread (C), unlike fear with a known cause (D). D misaligns with anxiety's definition, where the threat is internal or unclear, thus it's the incorrect statement.

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing to take vital signs in an alert client admitted to the hospital with dehydration secondary to vomiting and diarrhea. What is the best method used to assess the client's temperature?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When assessing a client's temperature, the method chosen must be accurate, safe, and appropriate for the client's condition. In this scenario, the client is alert but has dehydration secondary to vomiting and diarrhea, which suggests recent or ongoing gastrointestinal disturbances. The oral route (A) is generally accurate but is contraindicated in this case because vomiting increases the risk of aspiration, and residual nausea or oral irritation could affect the reading or patient comfort. The axillary route (B) is a safer alternative, as it is non-invasive and avoids the gastrointestinal system, though it may be slightly less accurate (typically 0.5°C lower than oral). It is suitable for an alert client who can cooperate by keeping the thermometer in place. The radial option (C) is incorrect because it refers to pulse assessment, not temperature. Heat-sensitive tape (D) is less precise and not a standard method for clinical vital sign monitoring in a hospital setting. Given the client's condition, axillary measurement balances safety and reliability, making B the best choice.

Rationale: Pain is subjective (A) and multidimensional (B), varying by perception and experience, per pain theory. Pain threshold (C) the point of noticing pain differs between individuals, not the same, making it untrue. Tolerance (D) varies with factors like culture, psychology true. C's universal claim contradicts evidence of individual variation, making it the correct false statement.
