Question 1 of 5
Which statement made by the nurse demonstrates the best understanding of nonverbal communication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it demonstrates an understanding of the importance of congruence between verbal and nonverbal communication in validating responses. Checking for alignment between verbal and nonverbal cues helps ensure accurate interpretation of the patient's message. Option A is incorrect as it states a general observation without emphasizing the significance of congruence. Option C is incorrect because assuming emotions based solely on body language can lead to misinterpretations. Option D is incorrect as it undermines the complexity and importance of nonverbal communication.
Question 2 of 5
What assessment question should the nurse ask when attempting to determine a teenager’s mental health resilience? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: How do you feel about talking to a mental health counselor? This question is crucial in assessing a teenager's mental health resilience as it directly addresses their willingness to seek help and utilize mental health resources. By asking this question, the nurse can gauge the teenager's attitude towards seeking professional support, which is an important indicator of their ability to cope with challenges. It also opens up a conversation about mental health awareness and destigmatizes seeking help.
Other choices are incorrect:
A: How did you cope when your father deployed with the Army for a year in Iraq? - This question focuses on a specific past event and does not provide insight into the teenager's current mental health resilience.
B: Who did you go to for advice while your father was away for a year in Iraq? - This question explores the teenager's support system but does not directly assess mental health resilience.
D: Where do you see yourself in 10 years? - This question is more related to future goals
Question 3 of 5
A male client with schizophrenia is demonstrating echolalia, which is becoming annoying to other clients on the unit. What intervention is best for the nurse to implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Escort the client to his room. This intervention is appropriate as it addresses the behavior causing annoyance while also ensuring the client's needs are met in a compassionate and non-punitive manner. By escorting the client to his room, the nurse can provide a safe and quiet environment for the client to calm down and reduce the echolalia behavior. This approach respects the client's dignity and promotes a therapeutic environment. The other choices are incorrect because avoiding recognizing the behavior (
A) does not address the issue, isolating the client (
B) may worsen the client's symptoms and social isolation, administering a sedative (
C) should only be done as a last resort due to potential side effects and ethical considerations.
Question 4 of 5
Which statement made by a patient prescribed bupropion (Wellbutrin) demonstrates that the medication education the patient received was effective? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it demonstrates the patient understands the dual purpose of Wellbutrin as an antidepressant and smoking cessation aid. This shows comprehension of the medication's intended effects and goals.
Choice B is incorrect as weight gain is a potential side effect of Wellbutrin.
Choice C is incorrect as a history of seizures should be evaluated by the healthcare provider before starting Wellbutrin.
Choice D is incorrect as Wellbutrin is not typically associated with drowsiness.
Question 5 of 5
Which nursing statement is an example of reflection?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. This statement demonstrates reflection as it involves paraphrasing and repeating back the patient's words to show understanding. By restating, "So you are saying that life has no meaning," the nurse is reflecting the patient's feelings and thoughts accurately.
Choice A is more of a personal opinion.
Choice C shows confusion rather than reflection.
