Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about the levels of health care services. The nurse should include that emergency care is part of which of the following health care services?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Secondary care. Emergency care is considered part of secondary care because it involves providing immediate treatment for acute conditions that require urgent attention but are not severe enough to warrant hospitalization. Secondary care typically involves specialists and advanced medical procedures. Preventive care (
A) focuses on preventing illness, primary care (
C) provides initial and ongoing care for common health issues, and tertiary care (

Therefore, emergency care aligns most closely with the characteristics of secondary care.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client about colorectal cancer prevention guidelines. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse include?

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing information to a client about durable power of attorney. The nurse should include that durable power of attorney is enforceable under which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer: C

This is because the appointed individual (the attorney-in-fact) steps in to make decisions on behalf of the client when they are unable to communicate their preferences.
Choice A is incorrect because incapability of self-care doesn't necessarily trigger durable power of attorney.
Choice B is incorrect as being terminally ill doesn't automatically activate durable power of attorney.
Choice D is incorrect as refusing treatment doesn't directly relate to the activation of durable power of attorney.
