Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about professionalism. The nurse should include that leaving a computer terminal unattended after logging on is an example of which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Unprofessionalism. Leaving a computer terminal unattended after logging on is unprofessional because it violates patient privacy and confidentiality. It exposes sensitive information to unauthorized individuals, compromising patient trust and confidentiality. Negligence (
A) would involve a failure to provide proper care or attention, which is not the case here. Malpractice (
C) refers to professional misconduct or negligence, typically involving patient care, which is not directly related to the scenario. Defamation of character (
D) involves making false statements that harm someone's reputation, which is unrelated to leaving a computer terminal unattended.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse overhears two assistive personnel (APS) disagreeing about client care assignments. Which of the following actions by the nurse demonstrates conflict resolution?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Confront the APs to discuss their argument. This demonstrates conflict resolution as the nurse directly addresses the issue, encourages open communication, and helps facilitate a resolution. By confronting the APs, the nurse shows assertiveness and promotes a constructive dialogue to resolve the conflict.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Allowing the APs to resolve their issues may not address the conflict effectively and could lead to further disagreements.
B: Telling the APS they are acting immature does not address the root cause of the conflict and may escalate tensions.
C: Reporting the APs to the charge nurse may not promote open communication or help the APs resolve the conflict themselves.
Question 3 of 5
A charge nurse is determining client acuity levels. The nurse should consider the time spent completing which of the following tasks when determining acuity?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Medication administration. This task requires precision, critical thinking, and can directly impact patient outcomes. Time spent on medication administration reflects the complexity and acuity of the patient's condition. Assisting others, meal breaks, and charting are important tasks but may not necessarily correlate directly with patient acuity levels. Medication administration is crucial in assessing the acuity level as it involves decision-making, assessment skills, and close monitoring of the patient's response.
Question 4 of 5
An RN on a behavioral health unit is assessing a client. The RN plans to delegate part of the nursing process to a licensed practical nurse (LPN). Which of the following statements by the RN indicates appropriate delegation to the LPN?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A: Please verify with the client which of the following medications they are taking.
Rationale: Delegating the task of verifying medications to the LPN is appropriate as it falls within the scope of an LPN's practice, which includes medication administration and monitoring. This task is specific, well-defined, and does not require critical thinking or interpretation beyond the LPN's training.
Incorrect
Choices:
B: Performing a complete assessment requires critical thinking and decision-making skills beyond the LPN's scope.
C: Documenting the admission assessment involves legal implications and requires RN-level assessment skills.
D: Drawing conclusions and developing a plan based on assessment findings require advanced nursing judgment and critical thinking.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse checks a client to evaluate the effectiveness of a pain medication. Which of the following components of professionalism is the nurse demonstrating?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Responsibility. By checking the client to evaluate the effectiveness of the pain medication, the nurse is demonstrating accountability and reliability in monitoring the client's well-being. Responsibility is a key component of professionalism as it involves fulfilling obligations and duties diligently. Advocacy (
A) involves speaking up for the client's best interests, which is different from evaluating medication effectiveness. Confidence (
C) is about self-assurance and belief in one's abilities, not directly related to evaluating medication. Fairness (
D) pertains to treating all clients impartially, not specifically related to evaluating medication effectiveness.
