Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is performing a socioeconomic assessment of an Asian client. Which questions are appropriate for the nurse to ask?
Correct Answer: A,C,D,E,F
Rationale: Aspects to include in a cultural assessment include biocultural history and socioeconomic status (distinct health risks can be attributed to the ecological and socioeconomic context of the culture) and the client's country of origin. Other aspects to assess include religious and spiritual beliefs, communication patterns, time orientation, caring beliefs and practices, and previous experiences with professional health care. Some specific questions to ask when performing a socioeconomic assessment are noted in the correct options. Asking the client about his or her yearly income is inappropriate, unnecessary, and unrelated to health care resources.
Question 2 of 5
The home care nurse suspects that a client's spouse is experiencing caregiver strain. Which action should the nurse take to assess for this condition?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Caregiver strain can occur when a client is significantly dependent on the caregiver for personal and health care needs. The nurse gathers data from the client and the caregiver to determine the caregiver's stressors and coping abilities and withholds making any referrals until the assessment is complete and the plan of care is in place. Because the nurse suspects caregiver strain, the nurse fulfills the duty to the client and family by approaching the family with the concern, gathering assessment data, and planning care. The nurse does not expect the client to assess the coping abilities of the caregiver because assessment is part of the nursing process and should not be delegated.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is evaluating a hypertensive client's understanding of dietary modifications to control the disease process. The nurse determines that the client's understanding is satisfactory if the client made which meal selections?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hypertensive clients should avoid high-sodium foods like corned beef, hot dogs, sauerkraut, scallops, French fries, and bleu cheese dressing. Turkey, baked potato, and salad with oil and vinegar are low in sodium, indicating correct dietary understanding.
Question 4 of 5
