Question 1 of 5

Which term refers to a comprehensive set of thoughts or images of oneself?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The term 'Global self' specifically refers to a comprehensive set of thoughts or images about oneself. It encompasses a person's overall perception of themselves, including their beliefs, values, and self-image. 'Core self-concept' is more focused on the fundamental beliefs individuals hold about themselves, 'Personal identity' relates to the characteristics and qualities that distinguish a person from others, and 'Ideal self' represents the person an individual aspires to be rather than their current self-perception.
Therefore, 'Global self' is the most appropriate term for the description provided in the question.

Question 2 of 5

A client has been diagnosed with depression, and a nurse is assisting them. Which of the following is an example of a short-term outcome as part of the nursing process for this client?

A. Client will verbalize that depression symptoms have lifted B. Client will identify life stressors that may be contributing to depression C. Client's insomnia will be resolved as evidenced by 8 hours of sleep each night D. Client will identify a mental health counselor in the community with whom they can meet for ongoing therapy

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In the nursing process for a client with depression, short-term outcomes are goals that need to be achieved before advancing towards long-term outcomes. Identifying life stressors that may be contributing to the depression is a crucial initial step. This process helps the client work through feelings of grief or sadness before moving on to long-term goals like therapy and depression management.

Choice A is not a short-term outcome as the lifting of depression symptoms is usually a long-term goal.
Choice C focuses on resolving insomnia, which is a symptom of depression, but not directly addressing the root cause.
Choice D involves identifying a mental health counselor for ongoing therapy, which is more aligned with a long-term treatment plan, rather than a short-term outcome.

Question 3 of 5

During a discussion about glaucoma at the community center, which comment by one of the retirees would the nurse give a supportive comment to reinforce correct information?

A. I usually avoid driving at night since lights sometimes seem to make things blur.'' B. I take half of the usual dose for my sinuses to maintain my blood pressure.'' C. I have to sit at the side of the pool with the grandchildren since I can't swim with this eye problem.'' D. I take extra fiber and drink lots of water to avoid getting constipated.''

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is ''I take extra fiber and drink lots of water to avoid getting constipated.'' In individuals with glaucoma, activities that involve straining, such as constipation, should be avoided as they can increase intraocular pressure.

Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not align with the management of glaucoma. Driving at night or taking sinus medication are not directly related to glaucoma, and sitting by the pool due to an eye problem does not provide information relevant to managing glaucoma.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following best describes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)?

A. A client follows the therapist's finger with their eyes while focusing on a negative thought or memory B. A client reads a story about a traumatic event and then visualizes the result C. A client focuses on a negative thought in their mind while tapping their fingers D. None of the above

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach used to address negative thoughts or traumatic memories, particularly in individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder. During EMDR, the client concentrates on a distressing thought or memory and the associated emotions while engaging in bilateral stimulation, often by moving their eyes back and forth. This bilateral stimulation can involve tracking the therapist's finger or other forms of sensory stimulation.
Choice A is correct as it accurately describes the core process of EMDR.

Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not involve the essential components of EMDR, which include eye movements or bilateral stimulation.
Choice D is incorrect as EMDR is a specific therapeutic technique and not covered by selecting 'None of the above'.

Question 5 of 5

A client is being treated for anxiety and desires to be free from anxious feelings and despair. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which level does this client need to meet?

A. Physiological B. Safety C. Belonging D. Self-esteem

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, safety needs come right after physiological needs. Safety needs include feelings of security and stability. When a client is treated for anxiety and seeks to be free from anxious feelings and despair, they are primarily aiming to meet their safety needs. By addressing anxiety and moving towards a sense of safety, the client can progress to addressing higher-level needs.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect in this scenario. Physiological needs (
Choice
A) refer to basic needs like food, water, and shelter. Belonging (
Choice
C) and self-esteem (
Choice
D) are higher-level needs in Maslow's hierarchy that come after safety needs.
Therefore, the most appropriate level for the client in this case is safety.
