Question 1 of 5
A client recovering from a brain attack (stroke) has become irritable and angry regarding self-limitations. Which is the best nursing approach to help the client regain motivation to keep trying to succeed as capable?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Clients who have experienced a stroke have many and varied needs. It is also important to support and praise the client for accomplishments. The client may need her or his behavior pointed out so that correction can take place, and the client's behavior should not be ignored. Spouses of a stroke client are often grieving; therefore, more visitations may not be helpful. Additionally, short visits are often encouraged. Stating that the nurse knows how the client feels is inappropriate.

Question 4 of 5
A 12-year-old client is seen in the health care clinic. During the assessment, which finding would suggest to the nurse that the client is experiencing a disruption in the development of self-concept?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The formation of an intimate relationship would not be expected until young adulthood. Friends are important and appropriate for members of this age group. A sense of industry is appropriate for this age group, and it may be exhibited by the child having a part-time job. The increase in self-esteem associated with skill mastery is an important part of development for the school-age child.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse provides care for a client diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. The client’s spouse states that the client has not slept in 3 nights. Which action by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Encouraging sleep and offering a sleep aid addresses the client’s insomnia, which can exacerbate paranoia and schizophrenia symptoms. A trusting relationship is important but less urgent, and other options do not address the immediate need for rest.
