Question 2 of 5
Emily is a 28-year-old nurse who works on a psychiatric unit. She is assigned to work with Jenna, a 27-year-old who was admitted with major depressive disorder. Emily and Jenna realize that they graduated from the same high school and each has a 2-year-old daughter. Emily and Jenna discuss getting together for a play date with their daughters after Jenna is discharged. This situation reflects:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Boundary blurring. This situation reflects boundary blurring because Emily, as a nurse, is crossing professional boundaries by engaging in a personal and social relationship with Jenna, her patient. This can lead to ethical concerns, compromised therapeutic effectiveness, and potential harm to both parties. It is important for healthcare professionals to maintain clear boundaries to uphold professionalism, trust, and the therapeutic nature of the nurse-patient relationship. A: Successful termination is incorrect as it refers to the conclusion of the therapeutic relationship, which is not the case here. B: Promoting interdependence is incorrect as it involves fostering mutual reliance and support between individuals, which is not the focus of the situation described. D: A strong therapeutic relationship is incorrect as it describes a positive and therapeutic connection between a healthcare provider and patient, which is not the issue in this scenario due to boundary blurring.
Question 3 of 5
Which nursing intervention can assist a Hindu patient in maintaining his religious practice?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Showing him which side of the room faces east. Hindus often prefer to pray facing east. By showing the patient which side of the room faces east, the nurse helps the patient maintain his religious practice. Assisting the patient to choose his own food (A) may be helpful but not specific to Hindu religious practices. Contacting the hospital pastor (B) is more suitable for Christian patients. Offering a Torah (D) is specific to Jewish religious practices and not relevant to a Hindu patient.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse makes a post on a social media page about his peer taking care of a patient with a crime-related gunshot wound in the emergency department. He does not use the name of the patient. The nurse:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the nurse has violated confidentiality laws by sharing information about a patient's condition, even without using the patient's name. Patient confidentiality extends to all identifiable information, not just names. Sharing details about a patient's medical condition on social media breaches their right to privacy and confidentiality. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) strictly prohibits the disclosure of any identifiable patient information without authorization. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the absence of the patient's name does not exempt the nurse from maintaining confidentiality, being the primary nurse is not a determining factor for liability, and social media posts are not exempt from confidentiality laws.
