Question 1 of 5
While interviewing a client, the client reports an intense fear of spiders, stating, I can't be near them. I get so upset. I start to sweat and hyperventilate if I see one. The nurse documents this finding as which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Arachnophobia. This is because arachnophobia specifically refers to an intense fear of spiders, which aligns with the client's reported fear and physical reactions towards spiders. Algophobia (A) is a fear of pain, not spiders. Entomophobia (B) is a fear of insects in general, not limited to spiders. Cynophobia (D) is a fear of dogs, which is unrelated to the client's fear of spiders. Therefore, C is the most appropriate choice based on the client's specific fear and symptoms described.
Question 2 of 5
A kosher diet is to the Jewish client as a halal diet is to the:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Muslim client. Both kosher and halal dietary laws originate from religious texts (Torah and Quran, respectively). Both require specific guidelines for permissible foods and preparation methods. Muslims follow halal dietary laws, which are similar to kosher laws but have additional restrictions. The other choices (A, C, D) do not have dietary laws similar to kosher or halal, making them incorrect options.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a patient and uses the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire as part of the assessment. The nurse determines that the patient has experienced a major life crisis with which score on the questionnaire?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The Recent Life Changes Questionnaire assigns a numerical value to different life events. Major life crises are associated with higher scores on the questionnaire. The correct answer is D (450) because it represents a significantly high score indicating a major life crisis. Choices A, B, and C have lower numerical values, which do not reflect the severity of a major life crisis. Therefore, D is the correct choice for identifying a major life crisis based on the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire.
Question 4 of 5
Which behavior best demonstrates aggression?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because grabbing a tray from the meal cart after stomping away from the nurses' station demonstrates a physically aggressive behavior. This action involves not only expressing anger but also engaging in a potentially harmful act by forcefully taking something. Choice B does not demonstrate aggression but rather shows emotional distress through crying and seeking comfort by hugging a pillow. Choice C shows assertiveness by expressing feelings of anger verbally but does not involve any physical aggression. Choice D displays refusal to take medication but does not involve physical aggression towards others.
Question 5 of 5
A resource person's function is to give specific answers to specific questions, as a counselor's function is to:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why answer D is correct: 1. A counselor's main function is to provide emotional support and guidance. 2. Listening to a client review feelings related to difficulties allows the counselor to understand the client's emotional state. 3. This understanding helps the counselor provide appropriate support and guidance. 4. Answer D aligns with the core function of a counselor, which is to listen and support clients emotionally. Summary: A: Incorrect. This choice focuses on providing information, which is not the primary function of a counselor. B: Incorrect. This choice pertains to collaborative care planning, not the emotional support role of a counselor. C: Incorrect. This choice refers to a different role, not that of a counselor providing emotional support.
