Question 1 of 5
A nurse manager overhears a nurse telling a client, 'I will administer your medication by injection if you don't swallow your pills.' The nurse manager should identify that the nurse is committing which of the following torts?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Assault. Assault is the intentional threat of harmful or offensive contact with an individual that causes reasonable apprehension of imminent contact. In this scenario, the nurse's statement of administering medication by injection if pills are not swallowed constitutes a threat of harm, leading to the client's reasonable fear of imminent bodily harm. Defamation (
B) involves false statements that harm a person's reputation, Battery (
C) is the intentional harmful or offensive contact without consent, and Invasion of privacy (
D) involves intruding on an individual's private affairs. In this case, Assault best fits the situation described.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has decreased mobility about passive range-of-motion exercises. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I will repeat these movements 3 to 5 times." This is the appropriate statement because passive range-of-motion exercises should be repeated multiple times to maintain joint mobility without causing excessive stress on the joints. Option A is incorrect because moving the joints to the point of mild pain can cause discomfort and potential harm. Option B is incorrect as moving the joints quickly may lead to strain or injury. Option D is incorrect because passive range-of-motion exercises are usually performed multiple times throughout the day to prevent joint stiffness.
Question 3 of 5
To ensure client safety, a nurse manager is planning to observe a newly licensed nurse perform a straight catheterization on a client. In which of the following roles is the nurse manager functioning?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Client care provider. The nurse manager is functioning in the role of overseeing and supervising the newly licensed nurse as they perform a straight catheterization on a client to ensure proper technique and client safety. As a client care provider, the nurse manager is responsible for ensuring that the client receives safe and effective care.
Explanation for the other choices:
A: Client educator - This role involves providing information and teaching clients about their health conditions or treatments. The nurse manager in this scenario is not directly educating the client.
B: Client advocate - This role involves speaking up for the client's best interests. While important, it is not the primary role being demonstrated in this scenario.
D: Case manager - This role involves coordinating care and services for clients across different healthcare settings. The nurse manager in this scenario is focused on direct observation and supervision of a procedure, rather than overall care coordination.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client how to self-administer daily low-dose heparin injections. Which of the following factors is most likely to increase the client's motivation to learn?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The client's belief that his needs will be met through education is the most likely factor to increase motivation. When the client perceives that the education will help address his needs, he will be more motivated to learn and engage in the self-administration process. This belief reinforces the client's understanding of the benefits of learning and empowers him to take control of his health.
Summary of other choices:
A: While the nurse explaining the need for education is important, it may not necessarily increase the client's motivation as much as the client's belief in meeting his needs through education.
C: The nurse's empathy is crucial for building rapport and trust, but it may not directly impact the client's motivation to learn.
D: Seeking family approval can influence behavior, but it may not be the most significant factor in increasing motivation compared to the client's belief in meeting his needs through education.

The uneven surface can cause tripping and slipping accidents, leading to fractures. The other choices are safe practices. B: Grab bars in the shower promote stability and prevent falls. C: Using a medication organizer ensures proper medication management. D: Setting the hot water heater at 47°C prevents scalding injuries.
