Question 1 of 5
Which should the nurse identify as a situational crisis?
Correct Answer: A,C,F
Rationale: A situational crisis arises from an external rather than an internal source and often is unanticipated. Examples of external situations that can precipitate a situational crisis include divorce, the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, an abortion, a change in job, a change in financial status, and severe physical or mental illness. A maturational crisis occurs at a developmental stage; examples include marriage, the birth of a child, and retirement. An adventitious crisis, or crisis of disaster, is not a part of everyday life and is unplanned or accidental. This type of crisis can result from a natural disaster (flood, fire, earthquake), a national disaster (acts of terrorism, war, riots, airplane crashes), or a crime of violence (rape, assault, murder, bombing, spousal or child abuse).

To assist the mother with preparing for her daughter's discharge, the nurse advises the mother to implement which action in order to promote optimal health?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Limiting chocolate and caffeine reduces anxiety triggers in clients with anxiety disorders. Restricting socializing, taking time off work, or keeping her out of school are impractical or unhealthy, hindering social and emotional adjustment.

Question 5 of 5
The nurse is performing an assessment on a primigravida client who has been a marathon runner for several years. The client verbalizes concern because she is no longer able to run in marathons and is concerned about the brown discoloration on her face and her increasing size. Which statements by the nurse are therapeutic?
Correct Answer: A,B
Rationale: The client is concerned about the body changes and life changes being experienced as a result of pregnancy. Therapeutic communication techniques include focusing on the client's feelings and concerns and acknowledging these concerns by the techniques of clarifying and encouraging discussion of feelings. Telling a client 'not to worry,' placing the client's feelings on hold, and avoiding discussion of the client's feelings are nontherapeutic communication techniques.
