Extract:


Question 1 of 5

An adult patient assaulted another patient and was subsequently restrained. One hour later, which statement by the restrained patient requires the nurse's immediate attention?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Tingling in the fingers can be a sign of reduced blood circulation, which could be a result of the restraints. This requires immediate attention to prevent further complications.

Question 2 of 5

Ativan 1 mg IM is ordered, Ativan is available in mg/mL. How many mLs will you administer?

Correct Answer: 1

Rationale:
Step 1 is to determine the volume to administer. The order is for 1 mg and Ativan is available in mg/mL. Assuming standard concentration (typically 1 mg/mL unless specified), 1 mg ÷ 1 mg/mL = 1 mL.

Question 3 of 5

During the assessment phase of the nursing process, data collection takes place. What methods does the nurse employ to gather data? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: A,B,C,D

Rationale: Nurses gather data by reviewing test results (
A), interviewing (
B), performing physical assessments (
C), and interpreting behaviors (
D) to form a comprehensive assessment.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following actions is the best example of aggressive behavior?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Telling the medication nurse, 'I am not going to take that, or any other, medication you try to give me' can be considered an aggressive behavior. This statement shows a refusal to cooperate and a confrontational attitude, which are characteristics of aggressive behavior. Walking away to take a tray is not inherently aggressive; it could be a neutral action. Expressing anger assertively is not aggressive but rather a healthy communication of feelings. Crying and withdrawing reflect emotional distress, not aggression.

Question 5 of 5

A patient has been admitted due to severe depression. What symptoms should the nurse anticipate during the assessment?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, and difficulty focusing are common symptoms of severe depression. Depression affects how a person feels, thinks, and handles daily activities.
