Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who states, 'I have got to get out of this hospital! They have found my address and are coming for my family!' The nurse responds, 'Don't worry, no one will harm your family.' Which of the following types of communication breakdown does this response represent?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Offering false reassurance is when the nurse gives an assurance without basis, which is the case here, as the nurse cannot guarantee the family's safety.
Question 2 of 5
While walking through a park, the nurse encounters a child with a swollen and reddened arm that hurts to move due to being struck with a baseball bat. The nurse splints the arm using two baseball bats. The child is transported to the hospital and later develops compartmental syndrome in the arm. Which statement regarding the nurse's liability in this case is accurate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse is protected by the Good Samaritan Act, which states that the nurse may give emergency care using good judgment. The development of compartment syndrome is a known complication of trauma and not necessarily indicative of negligence. The Good Samaritan Act protects healthcare providers who act in good faith during emergencies, even if outcomes are unfavorable.
