Question 1 of 5
A nurse is conducting an interview with a client. Which example best demonstrates use of open-ended questions in an interview?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Do you smoke?' This is a closed-ended question that can be answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no.' It doesn't encourage elaboration or detailed responses. 'How are you feeling?' This is an open-ended question that encourages the client to provide more detailed and descriptive responses about their current state or feelings. It allows the client to share more information and gives the nurse a better understanding of their condition. 'Are you feeling well?' Similar to option A, this is a closed-ended question. It prompts a 'yes' or 'no' answer without inviting further discussion or detailed explanation. 'Do you use any illicit drugs?' This is another closed-ended question that requires a 'yes' or 'no' answer. It does not provide the opportunity for the client to discuss their drug use in detail.
Question 2 of 5
The adult child of an older adult calls the nurse practitioner to report that the parent is becoming very confused after dark. What is this type of confusion named?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cognitive dysfunction: This is a broad term that includes various types of cognitive impairment. Alzheimer's disease: This is a specific type of dementia, but it doesn't specifically describe the timing of confusion. Sundowning syndrome: This term describes increased confusion and agitation in the late afternoon and evening. It's commonly seen in individuals with dementia. Night-time confusion: This is a general term and doesn't specifically relate to the characteristic pattern of sundowning.
Question 3 of 5
At the end of the shift,the nurse documents that the client has voided $475 \mathrm{ml}$ during the shift via an indwelling urinary catheter. What type of data has the nurse documented?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Covert: Covert data refers to information that is hidden, subjective, or not immediately observable, such as symptoms reported by the client. Voided volume is measurable and observable, so it is not covert. Subjective: Subjective data is information reported by the client, such as feelings, perceptions, or symptoms. Since the urine output is a measurable and observable fact, it is not subjective. Objective: Objective data is factual, measurable, and observable. The voided volume of $475 \mathrm{ml}$ is a precise, quantifiable measurement, making it objective data. Symptomatic: Symptomatic data pertains to symptoms experienced by the client, which are typically subjective. The documented urine output is a specific, quantifiable measurement and not a symptom.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about Piaget's stages of cognitive development. The nurse should instruct that object permanence develops during which of the following stages?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Concrete operational: This stage (7 to 11 years) is characterized by logical thinking about concrete events. Sensorimotor: This stage (birth to about 2 years) is when infants learn about the world through their senses and actions. Object permanence-the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen, heard, or touched-develops in this stage. Formal operational: This stage (12 years and up) involves abstract and moral reasoning. Preoperational: This stage (2 to 7 years) is when children begin to engage in symbolic play and learn to manipulate symbols, but they don't yet understand concrete logic.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse has accepted a position in a pediatric unit and is learning about psychosocial development. Place Erikson's stages of psychosocial development in order from birth to adolescence. (place them in the selected order of performance.)
Correct Answer: A,B,C,D,E
Rationale: Trust vs. Mistrust (Birth to 1 year): In this stage, infants learn to trust or mistrust their caregivers and the world based on the consistency of care they receive. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1 to 3 years): During this stage, toddlers learn to exercise will and to do things independently; failure to do so causes shame and doubt. Initiative vs. Guilt (3 to 6 years): In this stage, children begin to assert control and power over their environment through directing play and other social interactions. Industry vs. Inferiority (6 to 12 years): Here, children learn to read, write, and do things on their own. Peers and teachers become significant figures, and children strive to be competent and successful. Identity vs. Role Confusion (12 to 18 years): Adolescents search for a sense of self and personal identity, through an intense exploration of personal values, beliefs, and goals.
