Question 1 of 5

In the context of milieu therapy, what is its primary purpose?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Milieu therapy aims to provide routine daily experiences to clients. By offering a structured and predictable environment, it helps individuals feel safe and secure, reducing disruptive behaviors. Exploring the client's perception of reality (choice
A) may be part of therapy but not the primary focus. Enhancing social interaction abilities (choice
B) and addressing maladaptive behaviors (choice
C) are important aspects of therapy but not the primary purpose of milieu therapy.

Question 2 of 5

The difference between spirituality and religion is that spirituality is:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'an individual's relationship with a higher power.' Spirituality is more about personal connection, beliefs, and experiences related to a higher power or force, whereas religion is often associated with organized practices, rituals, and doctrines within a specific faith community.
Choice A is incorrect as spirituality goes beyond just believing in a higher power; it encompasses a personal connection.
Choice C, 'organized worship,' is incorrect because spirituality can exist outside formal religious settings.
Choice D is incorrect as it oversimplifies spirituality as merely a belief in an invisible energy or ideal, missing the relational aspect with a higher power.

Question 3 of 5

A 6-month-old client is admitted with possible intussusception. Which question during the nursing history is least helpful in obtaining information regarding this diagnosis?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The least helpful question in obtaining information regarding intussusception is "Describe his usual diet."? This question is least relevant to the specific symptoms and presentation of intussusception.

Choices A, B, and D are more directly related to symptoms commonly associated with intussusception and can provide important diagnostic clues. Asking about pain, vomit appearance, and changes in abdominal size can help in assessing the severity and progression of the condition, making them more crucial questions to ask in this scenario. Pain is a cardinal symptom of intussusception, changes in vomit appearance may indicate gastrointestinal issues, and alterations in abdominal size can signify the presence of a mass or obstruction, all of which are pertinent in diagnosing and managing intussusception.

Question 4 of 5

In which age group does the highest incidence of child abuse occur?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Birth-3 years old.' Children between birth and 3 years of age have the highest rates of victimization (at 16 per 1,000 children). This age group is most vulnerable due to their dependency and inability to report or protect themselves effectively. Child abuse can occur at any age, but statistics show that infants and toddlers are at the highest risk due to their developmental stage and reliance on caregivers.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because while child abuse can happen at any age, the prevalence is highest among children in the 0-3 age group.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse who was not promoted then went to the utility room and slammed several cupboard doors while looking for Kleenex. This behavior exemplifies:

Correct Answer: A.

Rationale: Displacement unconsciously transfers emotions associated with a person, object, or situation to another less threatening person, object, or situation. In this scenario, the nurse slammed doors instead of expressing anger towards the promoted nurse or the administrator who made the promotion decision. Sublimation is the unconscious process of substituting constructive activity for unacceptable impulses. Since slamming cupboard doors is not a constructive activity, this choice is incorrect. Conversion involves transforming anxiety into physical symptoms, which is not demonstrated in the given behavior. Reaction formation keeps unacceptable feelings or behaviors out of awareness by displaying the opposite feeling or behavior, which is not the case here.
