Question 1 of 5
Which student statement indicates further instruction is needed regarding developmental characteristics of clients diagnosed with moderate ID?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because clients with moderate intellectual disabilities typically struggle with academic tasks, making it unlikely for them to successfully complete elementary school without significant support. This indicates a need for further instruction on understanding the developmental characteristics of clients with moderate ID. A: This choice is incorrect because clients with moderate ID can often work in a sheltered workshop setting with appropriate accommodations and support. B: This choice is incorrect because clients with moderate ID can usually perform some personal care activities independently or with assistance. C: This choice is incorrect because clients with moderate ID may indeed have difficulty relating to peers due to social and communication challenges associated with their disability.
Question 2 of 5
Which nursing diagnosis does the outcome criterion 'will attempt to interact with others in the presence of trusted caregiver' address?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Impaired social interaction; short-term goal. This outcome criterion addresses impaired social interaction because it focuses on the client's ability to interact with others in the presence of a trusted caregiver. This goal is specific to the social aspect of communication and interaction. Choice A is incorrect because impaired verbal communication does not directly address the client's ability to interact socially. Choice B is also incorrect as it focuses on the long-term goal for verbal communication, not social interaction. Choice D is incorrect as it addresses impaired social interaction as a long-term goal, whereas the criterion in the question pertains to a short-term goal.
