Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statement is TRUE about reimbursement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reimbursement is payment for services (B), per system e.g., insurer pays for Mr. Gary. Not free (A), not patient-only (C), not all (D) service-based. B truly defines reimbursement's role, compensating care, making it correct.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is the appropriate nursing intervention for a patient with a terminal illness who is passing through the acceptance stage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In Kübler-Ross's acceptance stage, patients often seek peace, preferring quiet presence over active intervention. Being nearby without speaking respects their emotional state, offering comfort without disruption. Crying aligns with earlier stages (e.g., depression), unrestricted visiting may overwhelm, and explaining procedures suits denial or bargaining. Nurses provide silent support, aligning with the patient's need for calm reflection, enhancing dignity and comfort in end-of-life care.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following nursing intervention is appropriate to prevent pulmonary embolus in a patient who is prescribed bed rest?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bed rest risks venous stasis, a pulmonary embolus cause. Leg movement promotes circulation, preventing clots from forming and traveling to lungs. Fluid limits dehydration but not emboli directly, deep breathing aids lungs but not veins, and knee gatch increases stasis. Nurses teach exercises, reducing thromboembolism risk, enhancing recovery safety.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse enters the room to give a prescribed medication but the patient is inside the bathroom. What should the nurse do?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Returning after a few minutes and staying until the patient takes the medication ensures safe administration, adhering to the 'Five Rights' right patient, drug, dose, route, and time. The nurse verifies ingestion, preventing errors like missed doses or misuse, and documents accurately. Leaving medication unattended risks it being lost, taken incorrectly, or accessed by others, violating safety protocols. Instructing without supervision assumes compliance but lacks confirmation, potentially falsifying records if the dose isn't taken. Waiting briefly then leaving it bedside still neglects oversight. Returning and remaining present balances respect for the patient's privacy with accountability, ensuring the medication reaches its intended recipient at the prescribed time, critical for treatment efficacy and legal standards in nursing practice.
Question 5 of 5
The purpose of assessment is to:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assessment's purpose is to establish a client database, collecting subjective (e.g., pain reports) and objective (e.g., blood pressure) data to understand health status comprehensively. This informs all nursing process steps diagnosis, planning, implementation, evaluation ensuring care is evidence-based. Delegating responsibility is a management task, not assessment's goal, which focuses on data, not task assignment. Teaching clients about health occurs later, using assessment findings, not defining its purpose. Implementing care follows planning, not assessment, which precedes action. By building a detailed picture e.g., a patient's asthma triggers assessment equips nurses to address needs accurately, making it the essential first step and primary purpose in delivering tailored, effective care.
