Question 1 of 5
Which statement made by a patient demonstrates acceptance of criteria required of hospice care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because acceptance of the terminal nature of the illness is a key criterion for hospice care eligibility. By acknowledging that there is no cure for their illness and accepting this fact, the patient demonstrates understanding and readiness for the supportive care provided by hospice. Choices A, C, and D focus on personal preferences and concerns rather than acceptance of the terminal condition, making them incorrect in the context of hospice care criteria.
Question 2 of 5
When providing care to a patient, the psychiatric-mental health nurse is implementing the therapeutic use of self. The nurse is applying the concepts based on the work of which individual?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hildegarde Peplau. Peplau is known for her work on interpersonal relations in nursing, emphasizing the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship. She developed the Theory of Interpersonal Relations, which focuses on the nurse's role in facilitating the patient's growth and development. Through this theory, nurses use themselves as therapeutic tools to promote healing. Florence Nightingale is known for her contributions to nursing practice, but not specifically for therapeutic use of self. Dorothea Dix was a mental health advocate, not directly related to therapeutic nurse-patient relationship. Sigmund Freud is known for psychoanalytic theory, which is not directly related to nurse-patient interactions.

Question 4 of 5
A client admitted for alcohol detoxification states,"I don't think my drinking has anything to do with why I am here in the hospital. I think I have problems with depression." Which statement by the nurse is the most therapeutic response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct response is A because it demonstrates empathy and encourages self-reflection without invalidating the client's feelings. By acknowledging the client's perspective and gently prompting them to consider the impact of their drinking on their family, the nurse opens up the conversation for further exploration. Option B is incorrect as it dismisses the client's viewpoint and can lead to defensiveness. Option C is also incorrect as it imposes the nurse's perspective on the client and does not consider the complexity of the client's situation. Option D is incorrect as it assumes a causal relationship between the client's life events and drinking without exploring the client's feelings or thoughts.
Question 5 of 5
A client has been admitted to the inpatient psychiatric facility as part of a court-ordered program. The client was arrested numerous times over the past several months for exposing his genitals and masturbating in public in front of an elementary school. The nurse interprets this behavior as reflecting which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Exhibitionism. Exhibitionism involves the intense and recurrent sexual arousal from exposing one's genitals to an unsuspecting person. In this case, the client's behavior of exposing his genitals and masturbating in public in front of an elementary school aligns with the characteristics of exhibitionism. The behavior is deliberate and aimed at shocking or surprising others for sexual gratification. Incorrect Choices: A: Frotteurism - Involves touching or rubbing against a non-consenting person for sexual gratification. This behavior is different from what the client in the scenario is exhibiting. C: Sexual masochism - Involves deriving sexual pleasure from receiving pain or humiliation. This is not applicable to the behavior described in the scenario. D: Voyeurism - Involves observing an unsuspecting person who is naked or engaged in sexual activity. This does not match the client's behavior of exposing himself in public.
