Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it addresses the patient's concern about privacy and confidentiality. By stating that the information is maintained in a secure place and only accessible to healthcare professionals directly involved in the patient's care, it reassures the patient that their information is protected. Choice B is incorrect because it limits access based on current employment status, which may not necessarily ensure the confidentiality of the information. Choice C is incorrect because allowing anyone with permission from the patient to access the information may not always guarantee confidentiality. Choice D is incorrect because it includes representatives of the insurance company, which could compromise the patient's privacy.
Question 2 of 5
In the course of performing an admission assessment, the nurse has asked questions about the patients first- and second-order relatives. What is the primary rationale for the nurses line of questioning? s
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The primary rationale for the nurse's line of questioning about the patient's first- and second-order relatives is to identify potential sources of social support. This is crucial for understanding the patient's support system and planning appropriate care interventions. Other choices are incorrect because: A (living relatives quantity) is not as relevant for care planning, B (family health literacy) may be important but not the primary focus of this assessment, and D (genetic diseases) is not the primary purpose of this line of questioning in an admission assessment.
Question 3 of 5
The admitting nurse has just met a new patient who has been admitted from the emergency departrment. As the nurse introduces himself, he begins the process of inspection. What nursing action should the A nurse include during this phase of assessment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because during the inspection phase of the assessment, the nurse should pay attention to details while observing the patient's physical appearance, behavior, and overall condition. This helps the nurse gather important data for further assessment and plan of care. Option A is incorrect as psychosocial details are usually gathered during the interview phase. Option B is incomplete. Option D is incorrect as writing down details during observation may distract the nurse from accurately assessing the patient.
Question 4 of 5
During a health assessment of an older adult with multiple chronic health problems, the nurse practitioner is utilizing multiple assessment techniques, including percussion. What is the essential principle of percussion? t
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: To assess the sound created by the body. Percussion is a technique used to assess the density of underlying tissues by producing sounds. By tapping on the body surface, the nurse can evaluate the resonance, dullness, or flatness of different body parts. This helps in identifying abnormalities or fluid-filled areas within the body. Choice B is incorrect because percussion involves tapping, not striking, the body with a soft object. Choice C is incorrect because percussion is used to assess tissue density, not to create sound over dead spaces. Choice D is incorrect as percussion aims to produce sound, not vibration in a body wall.
Question 5 of 5
A 51-year-old womans recent complaints of fatigue are thought to be attributable to iron-deficiency
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The patient's serum. In cases of iron deficiency, serum testing is used to measure various markers such as ferritin, iron, and transferrin saturation levels. Serum testing provides valuable information about the patient's iron status and can help confirm a diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia. Choice A is incorrect because transferrin levels are typically assessed in the serum, not the urine. Choice B is incorrect because urine testing is not commonly used to assess iron deficiency. Choice D is incorrect because cerebrospinal fluid testing is not relevant for diagnosing iron deficiency. Serum testing is the most appropriate and commonly used method for evaluating iron deficiency.
