Extract:
Question 1 of 5
An acute care nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative and has a prescription for physical therapy 2-3 times per day for 2 weeks. Which of the following resources should the nurse anticipate that the client will require upon discharge?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Skilled nursing. The client will require skilled nursing services postoperatively to monitor their recovery progress, manage any potential complications, provide wound care, and assist with physical therapy sessions. Skilled nursing care is typically provided in a short-term basis following surgery to help the client regain independence and transition back to their normal activities of daily living.
Summary of incorrect choices:
B: Assisted living - Typically for individuals who require minimal assistance with activities of daily living, not intensive postoperative care.
C: Long-term care - Provides ongoing care for individuals with chronic conditions or disabilities, not typically needed postoperatively for a short-term period.
D: Palliative care - Focuses on providing relief from symptoms and stress of a serious illness, not specific to postoperative care needs.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing an educational session about The Joint Commission (TJC). Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: TJC provides accreditation to facilities. The Joint Commission (TJ
C) is a non-profit organization that accredits healthcare organizations based on quality and patient safety standards. The accreditation process involves rigorous evaluation of various aspects of healthcare facilities to ensure they meet TJC's standards. Licensure for health care providers (choice
A) is typically issued by state boards, not TJC. TJC is not a for-profit organization (choice
C) but a non-profit entity. TJC does not monitor insurance claims (choice
D); its focus is on evaluating and accrediting healthcare facilities.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a heart rate of 56/min. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Report of dizziness. A heart rate of 56/min is bradycardia, which can lead to decreased blood flow and potentially cause dizziness due to reduced oxygen delivery to the brain. A: High temperature is not directly related to heart rate. B: History of smoking may be a risk factor for heart issues but does not directly correlate with the heart rate in this case. D: Hypoglycemia may cause tachycardia, not bradycardia.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing an in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Establishes health objectives for Americans. The Healthy People 2030 framework sets specific, measurable objectives to improve the health and well-being of Americans. It focuses on promoting health equity and preventing diseases.
Choice A is incorrect because Healthy People 2030 does not solely focus on viruses worldwide.
Choice C is incorrect because it does not specifically use data from the past 20 years.
Choice D is incorrect as Healthy People 2030 focuses on modifiable risk factors rather than nonmodifiable ones.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to provide education to a client about the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The ACA reduces disparities in health care. The nurse should include this information because the ACA aims to improve access to healthcare services for all individuals, including marginalized populations, thus reducing disparities.
Choice B is incorrect as the ACA is not solely for individuals requiring tertiary care but for all individuals.
Choice C is incorrect as individuals do not need to qualify to participate in ACA insurance coverage; it is available to all.
Choice D is incorrect as the ACA specifically prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage to individuals with pre-existing conditions.
