Falls Introduction to Nursing Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements illustrates the effect of the sociocultural dimension on health and illness?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it demonstrates the influence of societal norms on behavior, known as the sociocultural dimension. By stating "Why shouldn't I drink and drive? Everyone else does," the individual is influenced by the behavior of others in society, showing the impact of social factors on decision-making. Choice B is incorrect as it relates to genetics rather than sociocultural influences. Choice C indicates individual knowledge affecting behavior, not societal influences. Choice D involves a personal choice to use a specific technique for health, not influenced by societal norms.
Question 2 of 5
A patient, unsure of the need for surgery, asks the nurse, 'What should I do?' What answer by the nurse is based on advocacy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it demonstrates advocacy by encouraging the patient to express their concerns and preferences. By asking the patient to elaborate on their reasons for not wanting surgery, the nurse is actively listening and supporting the patient's autonomy in decision-making. This approach helps the nurse better understand the patient's perspective and provide more personalized care. Choice A is incorrect as it imposes the nurse's personal opinion on the patient, which is not advocating for the patient's autonomy. Choice B does not provide any guidance or support to the patient, failing to advocate for the patient's needs. Choice D shifts the responsibility to the doctor without actively engaging with the patient, missing the opportunity to advocate for the patient's voice and concerns.
Question 3 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 4 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 5 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.
