Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is discussing the norming stage of the group development process with a student nurse. Which of the following statements by the student indicates understanding of the discussion?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Consensus evolves in this stage. During the norming stage of group development, members begin to resolve conflicts and establish norms and values. Consensus-building is crucial in this stage to ensure everyone is on the same page and working towards common goals. This process helps the group to develop cohesion and unity.
Choice A is incorrect because testing occurs in the forming stage, not norming.
Choice C is incorrect because constructive efforts typically occur in the performing stage, not norming.
Choice D is incorrect because resistance and subgroup formation usually happen in the storming stage, not norming.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is educating community members about how to prepare for a disaster. Which of the following items should be included in a disaster preparedness kit? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: A,B,D,E
Rationale: The correct items to include in a disaster preparedness kit are A, B, D, and E. Clean clothing (
A) is essential for hygiene and warmth. Personal identification (
B) is crucial for identification and accessing services. Matches (
D) are necessary for starting fires for warmth and cooking. Prescription medications (E) are vital for individuals with medical conditions.
Choice C is incorrect as the recommended amount of water for disaster preparedness is one gallon per person per day, not three quarts.
Choices F and G are not provided in the question and therefore cannot be assessed.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in 0.45% sodium chloride IV to infuse at 100 mL/hr. The nurse is using microtubing. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round to the nearest whole number)
Correct Answer: 100
Rationale: The correct answer is 100 gtt/min.
To calculate the IV flow rate in gtt/min for microtubing, you can use the formula: gtt/min = (mL/hr x tubing factor) / 60. In this case, the mL/hr is 100, and for microtubing, the tubing factor is usually 60. So, (100 x 60) / 60 = 100 gtt/min. This ensures the dextrose 5% in 0.45% sodium chloride solution is infused at the correct rate. Other choices would be incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation for microtubing flow rates.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the parent of a child who is prescribed diphenhydramine 25 mg elixir every 4 hours as needed. The amount available is diphenhydramine elixir 12.5 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: 2 mL
Rationale:
To calculate the mL per dose, divide the prescribed mg by the concentration in mg/mL. 25 mg ÷ 12.5 mg/mL = 2 mL. This dosage ensures the correct amount of diphenhydramine is administered.
Summary of Other
Choices:
A: Incorrect, as it does not calculate the dosage correctly.
B-G: Irrelevant as they do not provide any calculations or rationale for the correct dosage.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer fluoxetine 30 mg PO daily to a client. The amount available is fluoxetine 10 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero)
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The correct answer is 3 tablets.
To achieve a total of 30 mg, the nurse should administer 3 tablets of 10 mg each (10 mg x 3 = 30 mg). Other choices are incorrect because:
A) 1 tablet is not enough to reach 30 mg,
B) 2 tablets only add up to 20 mg,
C) 4 tablets exceed the required dose,
D) 5 tablets exceed the required dose, E) 6 tablets exceed the required dose, F) 7 tablets exceed the required dose, G) 8 tablets exceed the required dose.
