Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A floor manager discovers widespread dissatisfaction and a high turnover rate amongst LPN and certified nursing assistants (CNA). Which of the following strategies might motivate the staff and lead to enhanced job satisfaction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Establishing a rewards program acknowledges and values the hard work of the staff, boosting morale and job satisfaction, which can lead to decreased turnover rates. Allowing tasks beyond scope can lead to legal and ethical issues, hiring additional staff addresses workload but not motivation, and ergonomic chairs improve conditions but don't directly address recognition.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is an effective approach in the appraisal of research studies?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Evaluating research quality against standards ensures reliability and validity. Sample size alone doesn't determine quality, systematic reviews are high-level evidence, and limiting to RCTs excludes other valuable study designs.
Question 3 of 5
During a review of back injuries, a unit manager discovers a large number of injuries are occurring in spite of mechanical lifts being used. Furthermore, it is determined that some lifts are outdated. In establishing a quality improvement plan, the unit manager should:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reviewing correct procedures addresses improper use, a direct cause of injuries. Blaming individuals, using unreliable sources like Wikipedia, or filing grievances do not effectively improve safety.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has anorexia nervosa. The nurse should make which of the following client goals the priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Preventing fluid and electrolyte imbalance is the highest priority as these imbalances can lead to severe complications, including cardiac arrest, which is a primary concern in clients with anorexia nervosa. Group therapy and self-respect are important for long-term recovery, and self-harm monitoring is critical but secondary to immediate physical health risks.
Question 5 of 5
When planning delegation of tasks to assistive personnel (AP), a nurse considers the five rights of delegation. Which of the following does NOT correspond with the five rights of delegation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The five rights focus on task appropriateness, skill level, and scope, not supervision level. Non-invasive tasks and scope alignment are relevant, but supervision is a separate consideration.
