Question 1 of 5
At the end of the shift,the nurse documents that the client has voided $475 \mathrm{ml}$ during the shift via an indwelling urinary catheter. What type of data has the nurse documented?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Covert: Covert data refers to information that is hidden, subjective, or not immediately observable, such as symptoms reported by the client. Voided volume is measurable and observable, so it is not covert. Subjective: Subjective data is information reported by the client, such as feelings, perceptions, or symptoms. Since the urine output is a measurable and observable fact, it is not subjective. Objective: Objective data is factual, measurable, and observable. The voided volume of $475 \mathrm{ml}$ is a precise, quantifiable measurement, making it objective data. Symptomatic: Symptomatic data pertains to symptoms experienced by the client, which are typically subjective. The documented urine output is a specific, quantifiable measurement and not a symptom.
Question 2 of 5
The adult child of an older adult calls the nurse practitioner to report that the parent is becoming very confused after dark. What is this type of confusion named?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cognitive dysfunction: This is a broad term that includes various types of cognitive impairment. Alzheimer's disease: This is a specific type of dementia, but it doesn't specifically describe the timing of confusion. Sundowning syndrome: This term describes increased confusion and agitation in the late afternoon and evening. It's commonly seen in individuals with dementia. Night-time confusion: This is a general term and doesn't specifically relate to the characteristic pattern of sundowning.
Question 3 of 5
A school nurse is concerned about the almost skeletal appearance of one of the high school students. Although all of the following nutritional problems can occur in adolescents,which one is most often associated with a negative self-concept?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Obesity: While obesity can be linked to a negative self-concept, it is not as closely associated with a 'skeletal appearance' as anorexia nervosa. Fad dieting: Fad dieting may indicate concerns about body image, but it does not typically lead to a skeletal appearance and may not necessarily be tied to a deeply negative self-concept. Anorexia nervosa: Anorexia nervosa is characterized by extreme weight loss and a skeletal appearance. It is often associated with a severely negative self-concept and distorted body image, where individuals see themselves as overweight even when they are underweight. Eating fast foods: While this can lead to poor nutritional habits and weight issues, it does not typically lead to a skeletal appearance and is not directly associated with a negative self-concept.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse working in a community health center is preparing a flow sheet detailing essential screenings according to age group. At which developmental stage on the chart should the nurse add scoliosis screening?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Older Adult: Scoliosis screening is typically performed during adolescence, not in older adults. Older adults are more likely to be screened for other conditions such as osteoporosis. Pre-adolescent/adolescent: Scoliosis screening is most commonly conducted during preadolescence and adolescence, typically around 10-15 years of age, when growth spurts occur, and the spine is most susceptible to curvature.
Toddler/Preschooler: Scoliosis is rarely screened in toddlers or preschoolers. This age group focuses more on developmental milestones and immunizations. Infant: Scoliosis is not typically screened in infants. Screening for spinal curvature is more relevant during the rapid growth periods of adolescence.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 12-month-old infant who is brought to the clinic by the parents for a well-child visit. The nurse reviews the infant's health history and notes that the infant weighed $8 \mathrm{lb}$ at birth. When assessing the infant's weight at this visit,the nurse would anticipate that the infant would weigh approximately how much at this time?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 20 lbs: This is a plausible estimate. By 12 months, an infant's birth weight typically triples.
Therefore, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would approximately translate to $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 32 lbs: This estimate is too high. If an infant's birth weight triples by 12 months, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would not be expected to reach 32 lbs. 24 lbs: An infant's weight usually triples by their first birthday.
Therefore, an infant born weighing $8 \mathrm{lbs}$ would be expected to weigh about $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 16 lbs: This is an underestimate. An $8 \mathrm{lb}$ infant would double their birth weight by about 4 to 6 months, and by 12 months, they would typically have tripled their birth weight to around $24 \mathrm{lbs}$.
