Question 1 of 5
Which reaction to stress is healthy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Eustress. Eustress is a positive form of stress that motivates individuals to succeed and achieve their goals. It is a healthy response to stress that can enhance performance and productivity. Unlike distress (choice A), which is negative and harmful, eustress can lead to personal growth and development. Stressors (choice C) are the external factors that cause stress and are not a reaction to stress itself. Choosing "None of the above" (choice D) is incorrect as eustress is a recognized and beneficial response to stress.
Question 2 of 5
Which patient statement demonstrates a value held regarding children?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it reflects a strong value placed on the safety of children, prioritizing their well-being. This statement shows care and concern for children's safety above all else. Choice B focuses on the spouse's intentions, not directly related to children. Choice C downplays the importance of education for children's success. Choice D centers on the children supporting the parent, rather than the parent prioritizing the children's well-being.
Question 3 of 5
Which assessment questions will support effective communication with a patient who recently emigrated from an Asian country? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "What do you call this kind of pain?" This question is open-ended and allows the patient to express their understanding and cultural perspective on pain, facilitating effective communication. It shows respect for the patient's cultural beliefs. Choice B is incorrect because it assumes the patient's understanding of the cause of pain, which may not align with Western medical perspectives. Choice C is incorrect as it assumes the patient's knowledge of pain treatment strategies, which may differ culturally. Choice D is incorrect as it may not be culturally sensitive and may not elicit relevant information about the patient's perception of pain.
Question 4 of 5
Which statement made by the nurse concerning ethics demonstrates the best understanding of the concept?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it demonstrates the nurse's understanding of the ethical principle of beneficence, which emphasizes the obligation to do good and provide care regardless of a patient's ability to pay. Choice B violates patient confidentiality. Choice C prioritizes hospital resources over patient care. Choice D goes against the ethical principle of justice by implying that some patients may not receive proper attention. Therefore, choice A is the best understanding of ethics in this context.
Question 5 of 5
Implied consent occurs when no verbal or written agreement takes place prior to a caregiver delivering treatment. Which of the following examples represents implied consent?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Implied consent is when a patient's actions or circumstances indicate consent for treatment. In the case of a heroin overdose victim, providing care is necessary for saving their life, and their inability to refuse treatment implies consent. This is known as implied consent in emergency situations. The other choices do not demonstrate implied consent: A involves verbal consent from an unconscious patient's family member, C involves going against the patient's refusal, and D involves signing specific paperwork, not indicating consent for immediate treatment.
