Question 2 of 5
A nurse would identify which part of the nervous system as playing a major role during a stressful situation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Sympathetic nervous system. During a stressful situation, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to the body's "fight or flight" response. This response includes increased heart rate, dilated pupils, and heightened alertness, preparing the body to respond to the stressor. The other choices, A (Peripheral nervous system) and B (Somatic nervous system), are not specifically involved in the stress response. Choice D (Parasympathetic nervous system) is responsible for the body's rest and digest functions, which are not activated during a stressful situation.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client whose diagnosis has been linked to an abnormal secretion of growth hormone. Which illness does the client most likely have?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Anorexia nervosa. An abnormal secretion of growth hormone is often associated with this eating disorder. Growth hormone plays a role in regulating metabolism and body composition. In anorexia nervosa, the hormonal imbalance can lead to stunted growth and other physical complications. Choice A, acute mania, is incorrect because it is not directly linked to abnormal growth hormone secretion. Choice B, schizophrenia, is a mental disorder and not typically associated with growth hormone abnormalities. Choice D, Alzheimer's disease, is a neurodegenerative disorder and does not have a direct connection to growth hormone abnormalities.
Question 4 of 5
During an intake assessment, a nurse asks both physiological and psychosocial questions. The client angrily responds, I'm here for my heart, not my head problems. Which is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: Answer C is correct because it explains the relevance of psychosocial questions to the client's medical condition. It validates the client's concerns by linking psychological factors, such as stress, to physical health. This response emphasizes the interconnectedness of physical and mental well-being, fostering client understanding and cooperation. Summary of Other Choices: - A: This response dismisses the client's concerns and does not address the importance of psychosocial factors in health. - B: This response does not provide information on the connection between psychological factors and physical health, which may not address the client's resistance. - D: This response disregards the significance of psychosocial questions in the assessment and may hinder the client's overall understanding of their health.
