Client Health and Safety Specifications Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of these clients would the nurse recommend keeping in the hospital during an internal disaster at that facility?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the elderly man with an acute exacerbation of ulcerative colitis has a condition that requires ongoing monitoring and treatment in a hospital setting. During an internal disaster, such as a natural disaster or fire, it is crucial to keep patients who are acutely ill or unstable in the hospital where they can receive immediate care. A: The adolescent with sepsis whose vital signs are stable can be managed in a less acute care setting. B: The middle-aged woman with a past uncomplicated myocardial infarction is stable and can be discharged or transferred to a lower level of care. D: The young adult in the second day of treatment for an acetaminophen overdose may need monitoring but is not as acutely ill as the elderly man with ulcerative colitis. In summary, choice C is correct because the elderly man requires ongoing medical care and monitoring during an internal disaster, while the other choices can be managed in a less acute care setting.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who falls in his room. After the nurse assesses the client, notifies the client's provider, and completes an incident report, which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Submit the incident report to the risk manager. This is the correct action because the risk manager is responsible for evaluating incidents and implementing measures to prevent future occurrences. Providing the report to the risk manager ensures that the incident is properly reviewed and appropriate actions are taken to prevent similar incidents in the future. A: Making a copy of the incident report for the provider is unnecessary as the provider has already been notified. C: Placing the incident report in the client's chart is not the best action as it may not reach the appropriate personnel for review and follow-up. D: Documenting in the chart that an incident report has been filed does not ensure that the incident will be appropriately reviewed and addressed by the risk management team.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is participating in a disaster simulation in which a toxic substance is released into a crowded stadium. Which of the following activities would be the lowest priority for the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The lowest priority for the nurse in a disaster simulation scenario involving a toxic substance release is transferring a client to the discharge location (Choice C). This is because during such a crisis, immediate actions like preventing cross-contamination (Choice A), performing concise client assessment (Choice B), and maintaining a client tracking system (Choice D) are more critical in ensuring the safety and well-being of all individuals involved. Transferring a client, while important, can be done after addressing these more urgent tasks to minimize harm and effectively manage the situation.
Question 4 of 5
The term 'ethical validity' refers to:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: The ethical soundness of the research methodology. Ethical validity in research refers to ensuring that the study is conducted in an ethical manner, following ethical guidelines and protecting the rights and well-being of participants. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity and credibility of the research. Explanation: 1. Accuracy of findings (A) refers to the reliability and precision of the data collected, not ethics. 2. Replicability (C) pertains to the ability of other researchers to reproduce the study's results, not ethics. 3. Statistical significance (D) relates to the likelihood that the results are not due to chance, not ethics. In summary, choice B is correct because ethical validity is specifically concerned with the moral principles and standards governing research practices.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is an example of qualitative data?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because participant descriptions of their experiences are subjective and descriptive in nature, making them qualitative data. This type of data focuses on qualities, characteristics, and opinions rather than numerical values or measurements. A: Temperature measurements in Celsius are quantitative data as they provide numerical values. B: Scores on a standardized test are also quantitative data, representing numerical results. D: Number of students in a classroom is quantitative data, counting the quantity of students. In summary, qualitative data involves subjective descriptions and characteristics, while the other choices involve numerical values or quantities.
