Question 14 Type: MCSA The nurse is caring for several acutely ill patients. What nursing action demonstrates professional autonomy? 1. Delivering medications and prescribed treatments in a timely manner 2. Prioritizing client according to client needs 3. Communicating with peers when help is needed 4.

Page Number: 31 Question 14 Type: MCSA The nursing student completes a literature review on evidence-based practice (EBP). Which action indicates that the student understands EBP? 1. Presenting a paper about EBP 2. Repositioning a client at risk for skin breakdown every 2 hours 3. Explaining EBP to fellow students 4. Trying to find other problems to implement EBP Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Presenting papers or explaining what EBP is to someone else does not demonstrate the ability to put into practice that which is learned. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: In evidence-based practice, the nurse integrates research findings with clinical experience, the client's preferences, and available resources in planning and implementing care. Evidence-based practice would support frequent repositioning to prevent skin breakdown in an at-risk client, demonstrating that this student is able to incorporate research into practice. Rationale 3: Explaining what EBP is to someone else does not demonstrate the ability to put into practice that which is learned.

Which qualitative research tradition are these nurses using? 1. Grounded theory 2. Ethnography 3. Phenomenology 4. Substantive dimension Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Grounded theory is research to understand social structures and social processes. Rationale 2: Ethnography is research that provides a framework to focus on the culture of a group of people. Rationale 3: Phenomenology is research that investigates people's life experiences and how they interpret those experiences. Using prior coping skills (life experiences) and applying them to current situations in order to interpret the process of Alzheimer's disease is an example of phenomenology. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Page Number: 26 Question 20 Type: MCMA The nurse educator is reviewing concerns about the use of research for evidence-based practice. What particular concerns should the nurse highlight when discussing the use of research with the students? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. When evidence-based practice is done appropriately, the process often becomes cost-prohibitive. 2. The research environment results in strictly constructed and controlled circumstances. 3. There is a “best” solution or practice for any specific research question. 4. Evidence-based practice is most applicable to physiological problems. 5. Research evidence can be flawed when applied to various cultures and ethnic groups. Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4, 5 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Research might be expensive in many incidences but not in all cases, and cost is not recognized as a negative factor at this time. Rationale 2: Research is often done under very controlled circumstances, which is very different from the real world of health care delivery. Rationale 3: Research evidence suggests that there is one best solution to a problem for all clients. This limited perspective stifles creativity. Rationale 4: EBP appears to have greater relevance for physiological problems than for psychological, social, or spiritual ones.

Type: MCSA Nursing students are researching how cultural practices affect the dying process of terminal cancer clients. For their research, which theory will the students most likely explore? 1. Critical theory 2. Midlevel theories 3. Grand theories 4. Stability models Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Critical theory research used in nursing helps explain how structures such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and economic class affect patient experiences and health outcomes. In this scenario (the influences of culture on the dying process), research on critical theory would help in understanding how these structures affect the human experience of death. Rationale 2: Midlevel theories focus on exploring concepts such as pain, self-esteem, and learning. Rationale 3: Grand theories are only occasionally used in nursing research. The stability model describes the dominant view of nursing theories. Rationale 4: The stability model describes the dominant view of nursing theories.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. Dorothea Orem 2. Martha Rogers 3. Florence Nightingale 4. Jean Watson Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Dorothea Orem's theory focused on self-care and doesn’t apply here. Rationale 2: Rogers's theory is the science of unitary human beings and doesn’t apply here. Rationale 3: Florence Nightingale defined nursing more than 100 years ago as "the act of utilizing the environment of the patient to assist him in his recovery." Attending to the client's surroundings, including the lighting and atmosphere, is being attentive to the client's environment. Deficiencies in environmental factors (especially air, water, drainage, cleanliness, and light) have produced lack of health or illness. Rationale 4: Jean Watson defined nursing in relationship to caring and doesn’t apply here.

In which level of Peplau's model should the nurse determine that this patient is functioning? 1. Orientation 2. Identification 3. Exploitation 4. Resolution Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Orientation is the first phase, in which the client seeks help and the nurse provides the client with understanding and assistance.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Identification is the second phase, in which the client assumes dependence, interdependence, or independence in relation to the nurse. Rationale 3: The nurse–client relationship is described in four phases, according to Peplau's interpersonal relations model. The exploitation phase occurs when the client derives full value from what the nurse offers through the relationship, using available services based on self-interest and needs. Power shifts from the nurse to the client. Rationale 4: The last phase is resolution, in which old needs and goals are put aside and new ones adopted.

Page Number: 41 Question 8 Type: MCSA The nurse is teaching health and wellness principles to junior high students. According to Orem's theory, which category of self-care requisite is the nurse using to guide this teaching? 1. Universal 2. Developmental 3. Health deviation 4. Deficit Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Universal requisites are common to all people and include nutrition, hydration, elimination, and rest. Rationale 2: Developmental requisites result from maturation or are associated with conditions or events, such as adjusting to a change in body image (adolescent maturation, in this case) or to the loss of a spouse. Rationale 3: Health deviation requisites result from illness, injury, or disease or its treatment. They include actions such as seeking health care assistance, carrying out prescribed therapies, and learning to live with the effects of illness or treatment. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 4: Self-care deficit is not a self-care requisite, but it results when self-care agency is not adequate to meet the known self-care demand.

Page Number: 41 Question 9 Type: MCSA The nurse is caring for clients in Stage II/III Alzheimer's disease. If Orem’s theory is applied, which type of nursing system should the nurse use when providing client care? 1. Supportive 2. Educative 3. Partly compensatory 4. Wholly compensatory Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Supportive systems (developmental) are designed for persons who need to learn to perform self-care measures and need assistance to do so. This would not be attainable for this group of clients. Rationale 2: Educative systems (developmental) are designed for persons who need to learn to perform self-care measures and need assistance to do so. This would not be attainable for this group of clients. Rationale 3: Partly compensatory systems are designed for individuals who are unable to perform some, but not all, self-care activities. Because the clients are in the end stage of the disease, their ability to care for themselves is greatly diminished. Some would not be able to care for themselves at all. Rationale 4: Wholly compensatory systems are required for individuals who are unable to control and monitor their environment and process information. This would describe clients with Stage II/III Alzheimer's—those who need constant supervision and at some point in the near future, total care with all activities of daily living (ADLs).

From which theorist is the educator applying principles into the curriculum? 1. Dorothea Orem 2. Imogene King 3. Jean Watson 4. Hildegard Peplau Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Orem's theory focuses on self-care/self-care deficit and is not applicable here. Rationale 2: Imogene King's theory of goal attainment is based on 15 concepts from nursing literature she selected as essential knowledge for use by nurses: self, role, perception, communication, interaction, transaction, growth and development, stress, time, personal space, organization, status, power, authority, and decision making. Rationale 3: Jean Watson's theory centers on caring interaction and is not applicable here. Rationale 4: Hildegard Peplau's theory centers on the use of a therapeutic relationship between the nurse and client and is not applicable here.

Inadequate health insurance coverage 2. Family members who quarrel frequently about the client's care 3. Adverse reaction to medication 4. Expectations regarding rehab Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Extrapersonal stressors are those that occur outside the person (e.g., financial/insurance concerns). Rationale 2: Interpersonal stressors are those that occur between individuals (e.g., family members who quarrel). Rationale 3: Neuman categorizes stressors as intrapersonal when they occur within the individual (e.g., a drug reaction). Rationale 4: Neuman categorizes stressors as interpersonal when they occur between individuals (e.g., expectations regarding rehabilitation).

Page Number: 42 Question 12 Type: MCSA A client is being seen in the clinic for the final follow-up appointment after an extensive course of rehabilitation. According to Neuman's model, which level of intervention should the nurse realize this patient is experiencing? 1. Primary prevention 2. Secondary prevention 3. Resistant prevention 4. Tertiary prevention Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Primary prevention focuses on protecting the normal line of defense and strengthening the flexible line of defense. Rationale 2: Secondary prevention focuses on strengthening internal lines of resistance, reducing the reaction, and increasing resistance factors. Rationale 3: Secondary prevention focuses on strengthening internal lines of resistance, reducing the reaction, and increasing resistance factors. Rationale 4: According to Neuman's model, nursing interventions focus on retaining or maintaining system stability and are carried out on three preventive levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Tertiary prevention focuses on readaptation and stability and protects reconstitution or return to wellness following treatment. A final follow-up appointment following extensive rehabilitation would be an example of tertiary prevention. .

Type: MCSA A client with a postoperative infection is afebrile but still receiving IV antibiotics. The nurse should realize that this client is receiving which level of prevention? 1. Primary 2. Secondary 3. Tertiary 4. Critical Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Primary prevention focuses on protecting the normal line of defense and strengthening the flexible line of defense. Rationale 2: Secondary prevention focuses on strengthening internal lines of resistance (fighting the infection with IV antibiotics), reducing the reaction, and increasing resistance factors. The fact that the client is now afebrile shows that the treatment is working to improve the client's condition. Rationale 3: Tertiary prevention focuses on readaptation and stability and protects reconstitution or return to wellness following treatment. Rationale 4: Critical prevention is not part of Neuman's model.

Page Number: 42 Question 16 Type: MCSA The nurse observes a client working to include the spouse in the treatment and recovery process of an illness. Which of Roy's modes should the nurse recognize that this client is demonstrating? 1. Physiologic 2. Self-concept 3. Role function 4. Interdependence Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The physiologic mode involves the body's basic physiologic needs and ways of adapting with regard to function of the body's systems. Rationale 2: The self-concept mode includes the physical self and the personal self. Rationale 3: The role function mode is determined by the need for social integration and refers to the performance of duties based on given positions within society. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 4: The goal of Roy's model is to enhance life processes through adaptation in four adaptive modes. The interdependence mode involves one's relations with significant others and support systems that provide help, affection, and attention. Involving a spouse with the treatment and recovery process would be an example of this mode.

According to Roy's model, to which mode should the nurse realize that this client is responding? 1. Physiologic 2. Self-concept 3. Role function 4. Interdependence Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The physiologic mode involves the body's basic physiologic needs and ways of adapting with regard to fluid and electrolytes, activity and rest, circulation and oxygen, nutrition and elimination, protection, the senses, and neurologic and endocrine function. The pH level as well as levels of the carbon dioxide and bicarbonate ion would be physiologic mechanisms at work in the body. Rationale 2: The self-concept mode includes the physical self and the personal self. Rationale 3: The role function mode is determined by the need for social integration and refers to the performance of duties based on given positions within society. Rationale 4: The interdependence mode involves one's relations with significant others and support systems that provide help, affection, and attention.

Which assumption of Parse’s human becoming theory is the nurse using? 1. Meaning 2. Rhythmicity 3. Intersubjectivity 4. Cotranscendence Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Meaning arises from a person's interrelationship with the world. Rationale 2: Rhythmicity is the movement toward greater diversity. Rationale 3: Intersubjectivity is not one of Parse's assumptions. Rationale 4: Cotranscendence is the process of reaching out beyond the self, which would be what the nurse in this scenario has implemented.

This nurse has fulfilled which role, according to Parse? 1. Mobilizing transcendence Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. Synchronizing rhythm 3. Illuminating meaning 4. True presence Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Mobilizing transcendence is dreaming of possibilities and planning to reach them. Rationale 2: Synchronizing rhythm involves leading through discussion to recognize harmony. Rationale 3: According to Parse's theory, illuminating meaning refers to uncovering what was and what will be. In this situation, the stroke is what was, and the client who is now independent is what could be for the nurse's current client. Rationale 4: Nurses must provide a "true presence" to their clients, but this is not a role in Parse's theory; it is a behavior.

Page Number: 44 Question 22 Type: MCSA The pediatric nurse implements Watson's assumption regarding a caring environment. Which action did the nurse take to implement this assumption? 1. Providing for all needs and cares of the nurse's clients 2. Ensuring that a zone of professionalism is present between the nurse and client 3. Allowing the clients to have choices, as appropriate, in their care 4. Selecting games and activities that are age appropriate for the clients Correct Answer: 3 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: The nurse may not need to provide for all of the needs and cares of clients. Rationale 2: Being conscientious of a zone of professionalism (i.e., keeping distant) would not be a characteristic of caring according to Watson. Rationale 3: A caring environment, according to Watson's assumptions of caring, offers the development of potential while allowing the person to choose the best action for the self at a given point in time. Rationale 4: Taking choices away from clients by making selections for them is not a good example of true caring, as defined by Watson.

Arranging to fulfill a client’s request to stay with him during a painful diagnostic test Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: This is more relevant to Leininger’s Cultural Care Diversity and Universality Theory. Rationale 2: Watson proposes that a caring environment offers the development of potential while allowing the person to choose the best action for the self at a given point in time. Rationale 3: Watson proposes that human caring in nursing is not just an emotion, concern, attitude, or benevolent desire. Caring connotes a personal response such as empathy. Rationale 4: This is more relevant to Roy’s Adaptation Model. Rationale 5: Watson proposes that caring occasions involve action and choice by nurse and client. If the caring occasion is transpersonal, the limits of openness expand, as do human capacities.

Which type of law should the nurse expect to implement and enforce the nurse practice act regulations? Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. Statutory law 2. Administrative law 3. Common law 4. Public law Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Statutory laws are laws enacted by any legislative body. Rationale 2: Administrative agencies are given authority to create rules and regulations to enforce statutory law when the state legislature passes a statute. State boards of nursing write rules and regulations to implement and enforce a nurse practice act, which was created through statutory law but is enforced by administrative law. Rationale 3: Common law refers to laws evolved from court decisions. Rationale 4: Public law refers to the body of law that deals with relationships between individuals and the government and governmental agencies.

Page Number: 48 Question 3 Type: MCSA The admitting nurse explains the process of signing forms to allow for the client's insurance company to be billed for services.

Administrative law Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Contract law involves the enforcement of agreements among private individuals or the payment of compensation for failure to fulfill the agreements. Signing a form prior to receipt of health care services makes the client responsible for cost, regardless of insurance payment. Rationale 2: Tort law defines and enforces duties and rights among private individuals that are not based on contractual agreements. Rationale 3: Statutory laws are laws enacted by any legislative body. Rationale 4: Administrative laws give administrative agencies the authority to create rules and regulations to enforce statutory laws.

Rationale 2: Battery is the willful touching of a person that may cause harm.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Negligence is an example of a tort law. Negligence occurs when something is accidental and harm results, as in this case. Another example of negligence would be if surgical instruments or bandages are accidentally left in a client during surgery. Rationale 4: Criminal intent implies preplanned actions that are illegal.

Before the case goes to court, the attorney meets with staff and reads the medical record. The nurse realizes that the attorney is performing which activity? 1. Burden of proof 2. Complaint 3. Discovery 4. Civil action Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Burden of proof falls to the plaintiff and is the duty to prove wrongdoing. Rationale 2: A complaint is a document filed by a person (plaintiff) who claims that his or her legal rights have been infringed on by one or more persons (defendants). Rationale 3: Discovery is an effort by both parties to obtain all the facts of the situation. It occurs before the trial. Rationale 4: A civil action is a legal action that deals with the relationships among individuals in society.

Certification Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Licensure is the process of granting a legal permit to practice or engage in a profession, such as nursing. Rationale 2: Competency is a level of acceptable performance, and credentialing ensures this in licensure. Certification is also part of credentialing. It validates that an individual has met minimum standards of nursing competency in a specialty area. Rationale 3: Credentialing is the process of determining and maintaining competence in general nursing practice. It is one way to maintain the professional standards of practice and accountability for the members' educational preparation.

Question 8 Type: MCSA The nurse carries out a medication order, incorrectly written by the physician and subsequently filled by the pharmacist. Who, in this situation, is legally liable for the action? 1. Physician 2. Pharmacist 3. Hospital 4. Nurse Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Even though the physician wrote the order incorrectly, the primary responsibility in question is the administration of the medication, and so the responsibility is not the physician’s. Rationale 2: Even though the pharmacist filled an incorrect order, the primary responsibility in question is the administration of the medication, and so the responsibility is not the pharmacist’s. Rationale 3: Assuming policies and procedures were written and accessible, the hospital is not legally responsible in this case. Rationale 4: The responsibility for the nursing activity—in this case, giving the medication—belongs to the nurse. Liability is legal responsibility for one's action. Even though the physician wrote the order incorrectly and the pharmacist filled it, it was the nurse who carried it out, making that person ultimately responsible for the action.

A hospital receives notice of being sued for an action performed by a nurse. The nurse realizes that which doctrine is being implemented in this case? 1. Contractual relationship 2. Stare decisis 3. Respondeat superior 4. Res ipsa loquitur Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: A contractual relationship is not a doctrine; it is what the nurse and hospital, for example, enter into when the hospital hires the nurse as an employee. Rationale 2: "To stand by things decided," or stare decisis, is the same thing as following precedent, or applying the same rules to a situation as were applied in similar situations. Rationale 3: "Let the master answer," or respondeat superior, means that the master (in this case the hospital/employer) assumes responsibility for the conduct of the servant (the nurse) and can be held responsible for the nurse's failure to act in a competent way. Rationale 4: "The thing speaks for itself," or res ipsa loquitur, is a doctrine in cases where harm occurs but cannot be traced to a specific health care provider or standard. .

Page Number: 62 Question 10 Type: MCSA A client being prepared for an invasive procedure questions some of the terminology in the consent form. Which response should the nurse make? 1. "Just sign the form, and I'll make sure your physician talks to you before he begins the procedure." Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. "I'll explain whatever you don't understand." 3. "You should have asked your physician when he was in here." 4. "I'll call your physician back in the room to answer your questions." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: If the client has questions, he should not sign the form. These questions require the physician’s attention before the consent is signed. Rationale 2: If the client has questions, he should not sign the form, and it is not the nurse's responsibility to answer the questions. Rationale 3: Telling the client what he "should have" done is demeaning and not an appropriate therapeutic response. Rationale 4: Obtaining informed consent for specific medical treatment is the responsibility of the person who is going to perform the procedure, in this case the physician. Informed consent suggests that the client has been given complete information, including benefits, risks, and alternatives if the treatment is not given. An element of informed consent is that the client must be given enough information to be the ultimate decision maker. If not, it is the physician's responsibility to make sure the client's understanding is clear. It is important that the person obtaining the consent (the physician in this case) answer the client's questions.

Which behavior did the client demonstrate? 1. Informed consent 2. Express consent 3. Implied consent Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. Compliance Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Informed consent is an agreement by a client to accept a course of treatment or a procedure after being provided complete information, including the benefits and risks of treatment, and generally requires the client’s signature (written consent) Rationale 2: Express consent may be either an oral or written agreement. In this case, there were neither spoken words nor a written consent form for the IV initiation. Rationale 3: Implied consent exists when the individual's nonverbal behavior indicates agreement. In this case, presenting the hand for IV initiation would be a nonverbal behavior indicating agreement with the treatment. Rationale 4: Compliance occurs when clients agree to follow the recommended treatment, usually by their own actions as in taking prescribed medications or following a prescribed diet.

Page Number: 54 Question 12 Type: MCSA An adult client who cannot read needs surgery and is competent to make his own decisions. What is the best action that the nurse should take? 1. Tell the client in the nurse's own words what the surgical procedure involves. 2. Read the consent form to the client and have the client state understanding. 3. Make sure the physician explains the procedure to the client. 4. Have a family member who can read sign the consent form. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Telling the client in words other than what is on the consent form is not appropriate, as some meaning and information may be lost in the transfer. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: If a client cannot read, the consent form must be read to the client and the client must state understanding before the form is signed. Rationale 3: The physician should explain the procedure to the client, regardless of the client's literacy. Rationale 4: Because the client is a competent adult, he must be the one giving consent. Illiteracy does not make one incompetent.

Page Number: 55 Question 13 Type: MCSA An older adult fell at home and fractured a hip, which requires surgical repair. After admittance to the emergency department, the client was given sedation for pain before a surgical permit was signed. What should be done to obtain consent? 1. The physician should have the client's wife sign the consent form. 2. The physician should wait until the effects of the medication wear off and have the client sign the form. 3. Because the client has been medicated, the nurse should thoroughly explain the consent form to the client. 4. This would be considered an emergency situation and consent would be implied. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: A client who is confused, disoriented, or sedated is not considered functionally competent and a legal guardian or representative can provide or refuse consent for the client. In this case, because the client was given medication that sedated him, the wife would be appropriate for giving consent for the surgical procedure. Rationale 2: Waiting until the effects of the medication wear off would not be in the best interest of the client. Rationale 3: Thorough explanation may or may not matter in this case because the client is considered functionally incompetent. Besides, it is the physician's responsibility to obtain informed consent. Rationale 4: Implied consent may be used in a medical emergency, but in this case, there is an appropriate option available.

Have the hospital interpreter explain the procedure. 4. Proceed with surgery, as implied consent would be the case in this situation. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Reading the consent form to someone who doesn't understand the words is pointless. Rationale 2: There is a better option available than using pictures and gestures in the hope of explaining the procedure. Rationale 3: If the client does not speak the same language as the health professional who is providing the information, an interpreter must be present.

With which care provider should the manager discuss this finding? 1. The UAP 2. The nurse 3. Both the UAP and the nurse 4.

Rationale 2: Although taking vital signs was an appropriate task to delegate to the UAP, the responsibility of the action—in this case, the inaction, as the vitals were recorded inaccurately—remains with the nurse. Rationale 3: Although taking vital signs was an appropriate task to delegate to the UAP, the full responsibility of the action—in this case, the inaction, as the vitals were recorded inaccurately—is not shared by both the UAP and the nurse. Rationale 4: Delegating this task was not the responsibility of the team leader and thus he or she has no responsibility for this action.

A nurse is caring for a client in the emergency department (ED) who was brought in by her adult child for vague, flu-like symptoms. While helping the client to change into a gown, the nurse notices numerous bruises on the client's back and arms. When questioned, the client is distracted and ambiguous with her answers. Which action should the nurse take? 1. Report the situation to law enforcement. 2. Report the situation to social services. 3. Question the adult child who brought the client to the ED. 4. File a written report in the client's chart. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: In this case, social services should be notified. Law enforcement would be notified if the results of social services' investigation warrant it. Rationale 2: Nurses are considered mandated reporters. As a result, they must report any situation when an injury is present and appears to be the result of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. The situation described may or may not be one of abuse or neglect, but the nurse is required to report it to the proper authorities. In this case, social services should be notified. Rationale 3: Questioning the client's adult child is appropriate, but the incident needs to be reported regardless of the questioning. Rationale 4: Documentation in the chart is extremely important, but this would be part of the nurse's notes, not a separate written report.

Page Number: 57 Question 17 Type: MCSA A nurse who has been a longtime employee of a hospital, providing bedside care to clients, was seriously injured and is paralyzed from the shoulders down, with limited use of the upper arms. Through rehabilitation, the nurse is Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


able to mobilize with a wheelchair and has no cognitive or psychological deficits. The nurse wants to return to the same position held prior to the injury. Under the guidelines of the ADA, what should the hospital do? 1. The hospital is required to accommodate the nurse. 2. The hospital must find another job for the nurse. 3. The hospital should claim undue hardship to accommodate this nurse. 4. The hospital terminate the nurse's employment. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The act’s provisions state that the disabled must be able to perform the responsibilities of the job with reasonable accommodations. With limited use of the upper arms, this nurse would not be able to perform the tasks required of a nurse working at the bedside. Rationale 2: With limited use of the upper arms, this nurse would not be able to perform the tasks required of a nurse working at the bedside. However, the hospital could help find another position that utilizes the nurse's experience and desire to continue in the field of nursing, but this would have to be a collaborative effort with the nurse and a reasonable request regarding the hospital’s needs and resources. Rationale 3: According to the ADA, it is the employer's responsibility to provide reasonable accommodations that would allow the person with a disability to perform the job satisfactorily. With limited use of the upper arms, this nurse would not be able to perform the tasks required of a nurse working at the bedside. Rationale 4: Terminating employment may or may not occur, but not until all other options have been explored.

Report the situation to the unit charge nurse. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. Send an anonymous letter to the director of nursing. 3. Let other co-workers know about the situation. 4. Report the situation, then let management take care of it. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: As a mandatory reporter, the nurse is required to report situations where co-workers are suspected of impairment, which includes alcohol/drug abuse as well as mental illness. The nurse should report the matter starting at the lowest possible level in the agency hierarchy. In this case, the charge nurse would be appropriate. Rationale 2: The nurse should take responsibility for the report by being open about it, not making an anonymous report to the higher level of management. Rationale 3: The nurse should obtain support from at least one other trustworthy person before filing the report. This doesn't mean telling the whole unit, which could be detrimental to both the nurse reporting the incident and the co-worker. Rationale 4: After the report is made, the nurse should see the problem through, not assume that management will take care of the situation.

Page Number: 58 Question 19 Type: MCSA A nurse's co-worker makes a practice of telling offensive jokes or stories with a sexual undertone during the shift. Which action should the nurse take first? 1. Ignore the co-worker and walk away. 2. Report the incident to the nurse manager. 3. Tell the co-worker to stop the activity because the conduct is offensive. 4. Ask to be scheduled opposite this co-worker. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Ignoring the situation is not addressing the situation in an assertive manner. Rationale 2: Reporting the incident to the nurse manager would be an appropriate second step if the behavior doesn't stop after the nurse's approach. Rationale 3: Nurses must develop skills of assertiveness to deter sexual harassment in the workplace. Telling the co-worker to stop, and why, is the first step in putting an end to the situation. Rationale 4: Asking to be scheduled opposite this person is not addressing the situation in an assertive manner.

Page Number: 58 Question 20 Type: MCSA A nurse who is opposed to abortion works in a hospital where abortions are performed. According to the Supreme Court's conscience clause, which action should the nurse take? 1. The nurse should not take action, because the nurse cannot interfere with a woman's constitutional right to privacy. 2. The nurse should voluntarily terminate employment. 3. The nurse should counsel women before they have an abortion. 4. The nurse should refuse to participate in abortions. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The nurse cannot interfere with a woman's right to privacy, which includes control over her own body to the extent that she can abort her fetus. Rationale 2: The conscience clause states that nurses, as well as other health care personnel, have a right to refuse to participate in abortions.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Counseling a woman prior to an abortion would not be an appropriate action because the nurse has chosen to work in a hospital where these procedures are done. Rationale 4: In Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, the Supreme Court upheld that a woman's right to privacy includes control over her own body to the extent that she can abort her fetus. Although the nurse cannot interfere with this, the conscience clause states that nurses, as well as other health care personnel, have a right to refuse to participate in abortions and hospitals have the right to deny admission to abortion clients. .

Page Number: 59 Question 21 Type: MCSA A client woke in the middle of the night, confused and unaware of the surroundings. Although the call light was within reach, the client got out of bed unassisted, tripped on the bedside chair, and fell. Which element of malpractice should the client’s attorney realize is missing in this case? 1. Foreseeability 2. Damages 3. Injury 4. Duty Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Foreseeability is the link between the nurse's act and the injury suffered. The call light was within reach, but the client did not use it and got out of bed unassisted. Nighttime confusion occurs with some clients, but unless the nurse had knowledge or awareness that this would happen, there was no link between the nurse's action and the client's fall. Rationale 2: Damages may well be present, but these probably are not due to any action or inaction on the nurse's part. Rationale 3: Injury may well be present, but this probably is not due to any action or inaction on the nurse's part. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

What should the nurse do? 1. Explain that this is part of the surgical prep and continue with the procedure. 2. Explain that the client has already signed the consent, and place the catheter. 3. Respect the client's wishes and document accordingly. 4. Offer to call the physician. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Battery exists when there is not consent, even if the client was not asked. In this case, the client has the right to refuse other treatment surrounding pre- and post-op care. Rationale 2: Battery exists when there is not consent, even if the client was not asked. In this case, the client has the right to refuse other treatment surrounding pre- and post-op care. Rationale 3: Consent is required before procedures are performed. Depending on the invasiveness of the procedure, a written consent may be required. The client signed a consent form for surgery, and the refusal for placement of a catheter should be respected. The nurse should document the incident and not continue with the procedure. Rationale 4: Calling the physician is not inappropriate.

With what might the nurse be charged? 1. Defamation 2. Slander 3. Libel 4. Incompetence Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Defamation is verbal communication that is false or made with a careless disregard for the truth and that results in injury to the reputation of a person. Rationale 2: Slander is defamation by the spoken word. Rationale 3: Libel is defamation of character by means of print, writing, or pictures. Putting a statement such as this in the client's medical record is, first, making a diagnosis, which the nurse is not qualified to do, and, second, making an assumption about the client's need for medication, which is a personal attitude about how the client responds. Rationale 4: Incompetence relates to the ineffective or improper execution of nursing tasks.

Question 24 Type: MCSA The nurse is reviewing the Good Samaritan acts. For which situation should the nurse realize that these laws apply? 1. Giving CPR to a client brought to the emergency department, when the client later is found to have a "Do Not Resuscitate" order 2. Giving first aid to a child injured in a sporting event 3. Permitting a nursing student to try to insert an airway in an unconscious client 4. Leaving the scene of an emergency to call for help 5. Helping deliver the baby of a neighbor during a snowstorm Correct Answer: 5 Rationale 1: The Good Samaritan acts are laws designed to protect health care providers against claims of malpractice in cases of emergency, unless it can be shown that there was a gross departure from the normal standard of care. Giving CPR would be considered a level of care provided by any other reasonable person under similar circumstances. The fact that the client had a DNR order was not apparent at the time of care rendered by the nurse. A nursing student trying to insert an airway is not appropriate, as it would be above the level of care a student is able to do. A nurse should not leave the scene of an emergency until another qualified person takes over. The nurse should have someone else call or go for additional help.

The nurse should realize that this client is demonstrating which aspect of values clarification? 1. Choosing 2. Prizing 3. Acting 4. Clarifying Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Choosing is a cognitive action. Beliefs are chosen freely without outside pressure, from among alternatives, and after reflecting and considering consequences. That is not the aspect of values clarification described in the stem. Rationale 2: Prizing is an affective action where chosen beliefs are prized and cherished. That is not the aspect of values clarification described in the stem. Rationale 3: The "acting" component of values clarification is a behavioral action in which chosen beliefs are affirmed to others, incorporated into one's behavior, and repeated consistently in one's life. Stating the intention to return to prior employment on a full-time basis would be an affirmation of the client's plan. Rationale 4: Clarifying values is the process in which choosing, prizing, and acting are accomplished. That is not the aspect of values clarification described in the stem.

Telling co-workers that this client has no pain tolerance 4. Believing the client is drug seeking Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This option does not exemplify the nurse's respect for or consideration of the client's situation. Rationale 2: Honoring the principle of autonomy means that the nurse respects the client's right to make decisions, treating others with consideration and not as impersonal sources of knowledge or training. Believing the client continues to have pain would be an example of treating with consideration. For whatever reason, this particular client is not responding to the medication ordered by the physician, and other medications or treatment should be initiated. Rationale 3: This option does not exemplify the nurse's respect for or consideration of the client's situation. Rationale 4: This option does not exemplify the nurse's respect for or consideration of the client's situation.

Question 9 Type: MCSA A client has chosen to discontinue hemodialysis. His family is not supportive of his decision. Which statement should the nurse make that demonstrates the theory of principles-based reasoning? 1. "This client is of sound mind and is capable of making his own decisions regarding health care. It really is his decision to make." 2. "I need to try and help the family understand the client's decision so they can work through this situation together." 3. "This client's health is so deteriorated that the treatment is not saving his life. It is prolonging the ultimate outcome, which is his death." 4. "The client understands his decision and the advanced stage of his disease. If he quits treatment, he will die." Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Principles-based theories stress individual rights, such as autonomy. The client has the ability to make the decision and it is his right to autonomy to do that. Rationale 2: Caring theories, or relationship theories, stress courage, generosity, commitment, and the need to nurture and maintain relationships. Caring theories promote the common good or the welfare of the group. Trying to help the family understand the client's decision is an example of a caring-based theory in practice. Rationale 3: Consequence-based theories look at the outcomes of an action in judging whether that action is right or wrong. Rationale 4: Consequence theories are exemplified by the nurse looking at the outcomes of the client's decision.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


The administration of a hospital, along with nursing services, is planning to incorporate a struggling private clinic into the infrastructure of the hospital. Although relocating the clinic may cause transportation difficulty for some clients, keeping the clinic running will allow current employees as well as clients the continued benefit of the clinic. Which moral framework did the hospital leadership use to make this decision? 1. Teleological theory 2. Deontological theory 3. Utilitarianism 4. Caring theory Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Teleological theories look at the outcomes of an action and judge it to be right or wrong. Rationale 2: Deontological theories, which are principles based, emphasize individual rights, duties, and obligations. In this situation, numerous people are involved with the clinic, not just one person. Rationale 3: Utilitarianism views a good act as one that brings the most good and the least harm for the greatest number of people. Continuing to provide a service, even though it has to be relocated, is better than discontinuing something that clients continue to use and employees depend on. Rationale 4: Caring theories stress courage, generosity, commitment, and the need to nurture and maintain relationships.

Page Number: 76 Question 11 Type: MCSA A decision has been made for an older client to receive aggressive cancer therapy despite knowing that the therapy will actually be more harmful than the disease and subject the client to harmful chemicals. With which ethical principle is this nurse caring for this client struggling? 1. Autonomy Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. Justice 3. Beneficence 4. Nonmaleficence Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Autonomy refers to the right to make one's own decisions. That is not what the nurse is having an ethical dilemma about. Rationale 2: Justice is often referred to as fairness. That is not what the nurse is having an ethical dilemma about. Rationale 3: Beneficence means "doing good." In this case the benefits are not known, making the harm more real. Although aggressive cancer therapy is difficult to endure and given the age of the client, this case suggests beneficence, but there is a more appropriate option available. Rationale 4: Nonmaleficence is the duty to "do no harm." Doing intentional harm is never acceptable in nursing. Placing a client at risk of harm is what is depicted in this scenario, and it occurs as a known consequence of a nursing intervention or some other type of treatment. It is unknown how much therapy will be of benefit to the client or whether it will actually do more harm.

Page Number: 76 Question 12 Type: MCSA The nurse needs to insert an intravenous access device into a toddler who is crying and scared. The parent asks if the procedure is painful. When practicing veracity, what should the nurse respond to the parent? 1. "I won't lie to you. It may be easier for you if you step out until we get the line in." 2. "We'll take every care not to hurt your child." 3. "It shouldn't be too bad and I'll be quick." 4. "We do this all the time, so don't worry." Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Veracity refers to telling the truth. Even though telling the truth may frighten the parent, starting an IV on a frightened, scared, ill child is a difficult task. Because of the child’s developmental stage, any explanation given by the nurse won't be understood. Being honest with the parent will help the nurse gain trust and will outweigh any benefits that may be gained by downplaying the situation. Rationale 2: Saying that the nurse will everything possible not to hurt the child will not negate the fact that it will hurt. A needle going into a vein is not a comfortable procedure. Rationale 3: Saying that the nurse will perform the task quickly is not a sufficient answer to the parent. A needle going into a vein is not a comfortable procedure. The nurse really doesn't know how bad it will hurt the child. Rationale 4: Telling the parent not to worry is pointless.

Another nurse discovered the situation and was able to rectify the matter before something happened. The student apologizes and states the need to double check for call light placement before leaving a client’s room. What behavior did the student demonstrate? 1. Justice 2. Fidelity 3. Responsibility 4. Accountability Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Justice is being fair. That it not the value exhibited by the student nurse.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Fidelity means to be faithful to agreements and promises. That it not the value exhibited by the student nurse. Rationale 3: Responsibility refers to the liability associated with the performance of the duties of a particular role. The student had the responsibility to provide safe care to the client (i.e., make sure the call light was within reach) but did not follow through with it. That it not the value exhibited by the student nurse. Rationale 4: Accountability means "answering to oneself and others for one's own actions." By admitting that double checking should be done, the student showed accountability.

Page Number: 77 Question 14 Type: MCSA The nurse is reviewing the ANA (American Nurses Association) Code of Ethics for Nurses. What should the nurse identify as a characteristic of this code? 1. It is a formal statement. 2. It contains the same standards as legal standards. 3. It is shared by group members. 4. It reflects legal judgments. 5. It serves as a standard for professional actions. Correct Answer: 5 Rationale 1: A code of ethics is a formal statement of a group's ideals and values. It is a set of ethical principles that (a) is shared by members of the group, (b) reflects their moral (not legal) judgments over time, and (c) serves as a standard for their professional actions. Codes of ethics usually have higher requirements than legal standards, and they are never lower than the legal standards of the profession. Rationale 2: A code of ethics is a formal statement of a group's ideals and values.

Page Number: 78 Question 15 Type: MCSA A 20-year-old client with Down syndrome is diagnosed with an illness. Even though the client is able to live in an assisted environment and work part-time for a local bookstore, the parents of the client are adamant about not initiating a course of treatment whose side effects are unknown with Down syndrome clients. According to the nursing code of ethics, to whom is the nurse's first loyalty? 1. The client 2. The parent 3. The physician 4. The nurse Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The nurse's first loyalty is to the client. Conflicts among obligations to families, physicians, employing institutions, and clients may arise because of the nurse's unique position. It is not always easy to determine which action best serves the client's needs. Rationale 2: The nurse's first loyalty is to the client.

What information should the nurse use when making an ethical and moral decision about this client’s request? 1. Passive euthanasia is an easy decision to arrive at. 2. Legal issues are not the same as moral or ethical ones. 3. Active euthanasia is supported in the Code for Nurses. 4. Assisted suicide is illegal in all states. Correct Answer: 2

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Passive euthanasia involves the withdrawal of extraordinary means of life support and is never an easy decision. Rationale 2: Determining whether an action is legal is only one aspect of deciding whether it is ethical. Legality and morality are not one and the same. The nurse must know and follow the legal statutes of the profession and boundaries within the state before making any decision. Rationale 3: Active euthanasia and assisted suicide are in violation of the Code for Nurses, according to the position statement by the ANA. Rationale 4: Some states and countries have laws permitting assisted suicide for clients who are severely ill, are near death, and wish to commit suicide.

Page Number: 82 Question 17 Type: MCSA A client with terminal cancer is refusing food and fluids, and pushes the caregiver's hands away when attempts are made to feed the client or offer any kind of fluid. The family is considering placing a gastrostomy tube because they feel the client is "starving to death." What should the nurse do? 1. Honor the family's wishes and have them sign a consent form. 2. Talk to the physician so he or she can move forward with the family's wishes. 3. Honor the client's refusal and help the family come to terms with the situation. 4. Take the case to the hospital's ethics committee. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Clients, not their families, should make decisions about their own health care and treatment. Rationale 2: The physician may or may not be involved, but not to disregard the client's refusal. Rationale 3: A nurse is morally obligated to withhold food and fluids if it is determined to be more harmful to administer them than to withhold them. The nurse must also honor competent patients' refusal of food and fluids. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


This position is supported by the ANA's Code of Ethics for Nurses, through the nurse's role as a client advocate and through the moral principle of autonomy. Clients, not their families, should make decisions about their own health care and treatment. In this case, the client has made a decision and it should be honored. Rationale 4: An ethics committee is usually considered when there is an ethical dilemma and more input is needed to make a decision. In this case, the client has made a decision.

Respect the client's privacy and confidentiality. 4. Communicate only necessary information. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Nurses should not make promises to keep necessary information private. Rationale 2: Nurses are entrusted with sensitive information that, at times, must be revealed to other health care personnel in order to provide appropriate health care. Rationale 3: Nurses are entrusted with sensitive information that, at times, must be revealed to other health care personnel in order to provide appropriate health care. Clients must be able to trust that their information is secure and will only be shared with appropriate entities.

Tell the client that she needs to take the prescribed amount. 3. Report the situation to the physician. 4. Weigh the client on a weekly basis to monitor weight gain or loss. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Resource allocation and financial considerations are major issues in home health care. When clients are in their own home, they operate from their own values and client autonomy must be respected. Community resources may be of benefit for this client to be able to afford the proper supplement at the correct dose or to provide assistance in other financial areas so the client has the treatment needs met. Rationale 2: The client already knows she should take the prescribed amount. Rationale 3: Telling the physician will not help to solve the situation.

In what order should the nurse take the following actions to help this client clarify values? Standard Text: Click and drag the options below to move them up or down. 1. Choose freely. 2. List alternatives. 3. Affirm the choice. 4. Act with a pattern. 5. Examine consequences of choices. 6. Examine feelings about the choice. Correct Answer: 2, 5, 1, 6, 3, 4 Rationale 1: The nurse should ask if the client has a say in the decision in the third step of the process. Rationale 2: In the first step of the process, the nurse should help the client list alternatives so that the client is aware of all alternative actions. . Rationale 3: The nurse needs to ask how the client affirmed the choice by asking if the choice was discussed with others in the fifth step of the process.

Rationale 4: The final step is to find out if the client has acted with a pattern or consistently performs an action in a certain way. Rationale 5: In the second step of the process, consequences of all choices need to be examined so that the client has thought about possible results of each action. Rationale 6: In the fourth step of the process, the nurse needs to examine the client’s feelings about the choice. Some clients may not feel satisfied with their decision.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 06 Question 1 Type: MCSA The nurse is reviewing the Healthy People 2020 primary goals. Which plan should the nurse realize is in alignment with one of the goals? 1. Providing free screening to schoolchildren 2. Opening a wellness clinic 3. Developing better insurance controls 4. Developing new pharmacological treatments Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Healthy People 2020 has four overarching goals: (1) Increase quality and years of healthy life, (2) achieve health equity and eliminate health disparities, (3) create healthy environments for everyone, and (4) promote health and quality life across the life span. Free screening to schoolchildren is already being done in most states. Rationale 2: Healthy People 2020 has four overarching goals: (1) Increase quality and years of healthy life, (2) achieve health equity and eliminate health disparities, (3) create healthy environments for everyone, and (4) promote health and quality life across the life span. Opening a wellness clinic focuses on bettering health, which would be in line with goal 1. Rationale 3: Healthy People 2020 has four overarching goals: (1) Increase quality and years of healthy life, (2) achieve health equity and eliminate health disparities, (3) create healthy environments for everyone, and (4) promote health and quality life across the life span. Developing insurance control was a goal of health care reform during the Clinton administration. Rationale 4: Ongoing development of pharmacological treatments is not a new initiative.

Which activity should the nurses expect to perform once this clinic opens? 1. Teaching biofeedback techniques for stress reduction 2. Providing immunization clinics 3. Evaluating regional industrial centers for environmental pollution 4. Teaching smoking cessation classes to adolescents Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Health promotion programs address nutrition, weight control, exercise, and stress reduction. Health promotion activities emphasize the role of clients in maintaining their own health and provide encouragement in maintaining the highest level of wellness they can achieve. Rationale 2: Providing immunization clinics is an example of illness prevention, not health promotion.

Type: MCSA A client is in the end stages of cancer. Which type of service should the nurse consider as being the best for this client? 1. Rehabilitation 2. Health restoration 3. Acute care 4. Palliative care Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Rehabilitation is a process of restoring ill or injured people to optimum and functional levels of wellness, emphasizing the importance of assisting clients to function adequately in the physical, mental, social, economic, and vocational areas of their lives. That is not the service this client requires. Rationale 2: Health restoration is service that helps bring ill or injured clients back to their former state of health. That is not the service this client requires. Rationale 3: Acute care is the typical service provided in a hospital. That is not the service this client requires. Rationale 4: Palliative care is service that provides comfort and treatment of symptoms. This type of care is for clients who cannot be returned to health. It may be conducted in many settings, including the home.

Which agency should the nurse approach to fill this need? Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. State health department 2. Local health department 3. Local hospital 4. Federal government Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: State health organizations are responsible for assisting the local health departments. This is not the agency to provide the assistance the nurses are looking for. Rationale 2: The local health department has the responsibility for developing programs to meet the health needs of the people, providing the necessary staff and facilities to carry out those programs, evaluating their effectiveness, and monitoring changing needs. Rationale 3: Local hospitals provide the majority of acute care services in a community. This is not the agency to provide the assistance the nurses are looking for. Rationale 4: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is an agency at the federal level whose functions include conducting research and providing training in the health field, providing assistance to communities in planning and developing health facilities, and assisting states and local communities through financing and provision of trained personnel. This is not the agency to provide the assistance the nurses are looking for.

How should the nurse categorize this type of health care facility? 1. General hospital Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. Specialty hospital 3. Long-term care hospital 4. Short-term hospital Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Hospitals are classified by the services they provide as well as by their ownership. General hospitals admit clients requiring a variety of services, such as medical, surgical, obstetric, pediatric, and psychiatric services. Rationale 2: Hospitals are classified by the services they provide as well as by their ownership. Some hospitals offer only specialty services, such as psychiatric or pediatric. This does not describe the facility in this scenario. Rationale 3: Hospitals are classified by the services they provide as well as by their ownership. Long-term care hospitals provide services for longer periods—sometimes years or for the remainder of the client's life. This does not describe the facility in the scenario. Rationale 4: Acute care (or short-term) hospitals provide assistance to clients whose illness and need for hospitalization are relatively short term, such as several days. This does not describe the facility in the stem.

Page Number: 91 Question 6 Type: MCSA A client being discharged from an acute care hospital requires IV antibiotics, is not able to complete activities of daily living without assistance, and has no family available to assist in the recovery phase. Which type of recommendation should the nurse make for this client? 1. Stay in the hospital until the client is fully capable of self-care. 2. Remain in the hospital until the antibiotic course is completed. 3. Be discharged to an extended care facility. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. Go to a nursing home. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: An acute care hospital stay is no longer required because the needs of the client could be met in another facility. Rationale 2: The antibiotic therapy and custodial care can be provided in a more suitable facility. Rationale 3: Extended care facilities provide care for clients who require rehabilitation and custodial care after discharge from an acute care hospital. Because this client still receives antibiotic therapy and requires some custodial care, this type of facility can provide the best care until the client is ready for discharge home. Rationale 4: The client may require a nursing home or long-term care facility at some point, but it is too early in the recovery to make this decision.

Page Number: 92 Question 7 Type: MCSA An older client has no family in the same community, lives alone in a small house, and is having greater difficulty with mobility due to advanced osteoarthritis. Cognitively, this client is alert, is able to manage her own business matters, and does her own cooking, but does not enjoy "cooking for one." The home health nurse who visits has noticed that the client is losing weight and does not have as much energy or interest in activities as on previous visits. What should the nurse recommend for this client? 1. See a psychiatrist because the client appears to be depressed. 2. Check out joint replacement options for the osteoarthritis. 3. Start thinking about long-term care. 4. Consider moving to an assisted living facility. Correct Answer: 4 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Diagnosing depression is outside the scope of nursing practice. Other interventions can be implemented before this action is considered. It also does not meet the client’s immediate needs. Rationale 2: Joint replacement may or may not be an option, but it would not be the nurse's responsibility to recommend this, nor does it meet the client’s immediate needs. Rationale 3: This client does not show any indications of requiring long-term care at this point. Rationale 4: Assisted living facilities offer meals, laundry services, nursing care, transportation, and social activities to residents who are able to live relatively independently. They are intended to meet the needs of people who are unable to remain at home but do not require hospital or nursing home care. The client in this scenario has some physical limitations, but could benefit from socialization and interaction with peers as well as having staff available to provide limited care and health promotion activities.

Page Number: 92 Question 8 Type: MCSA The spouse of a client diagnosed with Stage I/II Alzheimer's disease must continue to work full-time. The spouse tells the occupational health nurse that the client has started to wander outside the house, forgets to turn off the stove after preparing food, and tries to drive the car if the keys are available. What should the nurse recommend for this family? 1. The client should be placed in long-term care. 2. The spouse should consider early retirement. 3. The client should be placed in an adult day-care environment. 4. An increase in the client's medications should be considered to slow the progress of the disease. Correct Answer: 3

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Placing a client from an independent home situation to long-term care would be more detrimental than a gradual progression of care. Rationale 2: Telling the spouse to consider early retirement is neither therapeutic nor realistic. Rationale 3: Day-care centers provide care and nutrition for adults who cannot be left at home alone but do not need to be in an institution. These centers often provide care involving socializing, exercise programs, and stimulation. Some provide counseling and physical therapy. Nurses who are employed in day-care centers may provide medications, treatment, and counseling. Rationale 4: Increasing medications is a decision that needs to be made by the client's primary caregiver, not the nurse, nor does it address the spouse’s concerns regarding care.

Page Number: 93 Question 9 Type: MCSA The spouse of a client referred to hospice care asks why the client needs the change in services. How should the nurse respond to this question? 1. "So we can see if there's any way to improve your spouse's life." 2. "There is no need for acute care any longer." 3. "It's best for your spouse to be cared for at home." 4. "Hospice care is cheaper than acute care." Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The central concept of the hospice movement is not saving life but improving or maintaining the quality of life until death. Hospice care provides a variety of services given to the terminally ill, their families, and support persons. The place of care varies, but includes home, hospital, or skilled nursing facilities. Rationale 2: Acute care may be warranted as the client's condition changes. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: The place of hospice care varies, but includes home, hospital, or skilled nursing facilities. Rationale 4: Hospice care may well be cheaper, but this is not the main reason for referral to hospice services.

Page Number: 93 Question 10 Type: MCSA A young adult client recovering from an injury that resulted in partial paralysis plans to live independently as before the injury. Which referral should the nurse identify as being the best for this client? 1. Paramedical technologist 2. Physical therapist 3. Occupational therapist 4. Case manager Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The term paramedical technologist includes laboratory technologists, radiological technologists, and nuclear medicine technologists. This title is given to those professionals having some connection with medicine. This referral would not meet the client’s needs regarding independent living. Rationale 2: A physical therapist helps clients regain physical strength and mobility. In this case, the client would probably also see a physical therapist, but not for the focus on independent living. Rationale 3: An occupational therapist assists clients with impaired function to gain the skills necessary for activities of daily living. The therapist teaches skills that are therapeutic but at the same time provide fulfillment. Helping a client with paralysis learn to use equipment or different methods of doing daily tasks will enable the client to be as independent as possible.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 4: A case manager's role is to ensure that clients receive fiscally sound, appropriate care in the best setting. This client may well have a case manager to coordinate all the necessary care, but the question focuses on the return to independent living.

Recent history of chills and body aches 3. Improper nutrition 4. Few personal resources Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Lack of social support contributes to health problems in general. Rationale 2: A poor physical environment results in increased susceptibility to infections. The client's recent history of chills and body aches should alert the nurse that this client may have an infection. Rationale 3: Improper nutrition contributes to health problems in general.

Page Number: 99 Question 15 Type: MCSA The nurse is considering leaving a position in an organization that utilized differentiated practice. Which type of delivery system should the nurse consider as being the most similar to differentiated practice? 1. Case method 2. Shared governance 3. Functional method 4. Team nursing Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The case method is a client-centered model where one nurse is assigned to and responsible for the comprehensive care of a group of clients during a shift. In this method a client has consistent contact with one nurse during a shift, but may have different nurses on other shifts. This is not the model described in the scenario. Rationale 2: Shared governance is an organizational model in which nursing staff are cooperative with administrative personnel in making, implementing, and evaluating client care policies. This is not the model described in the scenario. Rationale 3: The functional nursing method focuses on the jobs to be completed. It is a task-oriented approach in which personnel with less preparation than the professional nurse perform less complex care requirements. This is not the model described in the scenario. Rationale 4: Team nursing is the delivery of individualized nursing care to clients by a team led by a professional nurse. The nursing team consists of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and unlicensed assistive personnel. The registered nurse retains responsibility and authority for client care but delegates appropriate tasks to the other team members. This enables nurses to progress and assume roles and responsibilities appropriate for their level of experience, capability, and education—much like the differentiated practice system.

MNL Learning Outcome: 1.2.1. Explore the various roles in nursing practice. Page Number: 99 Question 16 Type: MCSA A seasoned RN is especially competent in knowledge of the computerized charting system in a facility and is able to assume the team leader role on a regular basis. In which type of care delivery system is this nurse most likely providing care? 1. Primary nursing 2. Team nursing 3. Differentiated practice 4. Case method Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Primary nursing is a system in which one nurse is responsible for total care of a number of clients, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is a method of providing comprehensive, individualized, and consistent care. Primary nursing uses the nurse's technical knowledge and management skills in assessing and prioritizing each client's needs, implementing the plan of care, and evaluating the plan’s effectiveness. Rationale 2: Team nursing is the delivery of individualized nursing care to clients by a team led by a professional nurse and consisting of RNs, LPNs, and UAPs. This is not the model described in the scenario. Rationale 3: Differentiated practice is a system in which the best possible use of nursing personnel is based on their education preparation and resultant skill sets. This is not the model described in the scenario. Rationale 4: The case method is also referred to as total care, in which one nurse is assigned to and is responsible for the comprehensive care of a group of clients during an 8- or 12-hour shift.

Question 17 Type: MCSA A 68-year-old client is concerned about paying for extended hospitalization and expensive medications to treat his health problem. What should the nurse respond to this client? 1. "Don't worry. I'm sure everything will work out OK." 2. "You need to focus on recovering, not worrying about finances." 3. "Much of your care will be covered by Medicare." 4. "I'll have someone from the business office come and talk to you about your bill." Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Ignoring the client's concerns by telling him not to worry is not therapeutic communication and does little, if anything, to confront the client's concerns. Rationale 2: Ignoring the client's concerns by telling him not to worry is not therapeutic communication and does little, if anything, to confront the client's concerns. Rationale 3: The Medicare amendment to the Social Security Act provided a national and state health insurance program for older adults. By the mid-1970s, virtually everyone over 65 years of age was protected by hospital insurance under Part A. In 1988, Congress expanded Medicare to include extremely expensive hospital care, "catastrophic care," and expensive drugs. Rationale 4: Giving the concern to the business office is merely "passing the buck." Nurses should have some knowledge about the payment sources of their clients, especially those who have automatic coverage with Medicare because of their age.

A clinic in a rural area depends primarily on the services of a nurse practitioner. Which legislation provided the opportunity for the nurse practitioner to have this position? 1. Medicare 2. Medicaid 3. Rural Health Clinics Act 4. National Health Planning and Resources Development Act Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Medicare provides insurance coverage for people over age 65. This is not the legislation described in the scenario. Rationale 2: Medicaid provides service to people who require financial assistance for health care. This is not the legislation described in the scenario. Rationale 3: In 1978, the Rural Health Clinics Act provided for the development of health care in medically underserved rural areas. This act opened the door for nurse practitioners to provide primary care.

"You'll have good health care benefits, so don't worry." 2. "Both the HMO and PPO are covered by your employer, so it's really not your concern."

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. "Your PPO offered you a choice in your health care provider as well as services. Now, you will choose a primary care provider who will evaluate your health and will coordinate all of your care." 4. "You really should be happy about the HMO. You'll pay little, if any, out-of-pocket expense." Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Telling the client not to worry does not address the client's question, which is to explain the difference. Rationale 2: Telling the client not to worry does not address the client's question, which is to explain the difference. Rationale 3: HMO plans emphasize wellness, and members choose a primary care provider who evaluates their health status and coordinates their care. Clients are limited in their ability to select health care providers and services, but available services are at minimal and predetermined cost to the client. PPOs consist of a group of physicians that provide an insurance company or employer with health services at a discounted rate. One advantage of the PPO is that it provides clients with a choice of health care providers and services. Rationale 4: Even though telling the client that she will have little out-of-pocket expense may be truthful, it doesn't answer the question.

Identify the boundaries of the community. 4. Make sure resources are available in the community. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The first stage in assessment is to learn about the people in the community. When completing a community assessment, the nurse needs to focus on a much larger "client"—which is the whole community. Rationale 2: Understanding the major illnesses present in the community is not a part of the community assessment. Rationale 3: Identifying boundaries is part of a community assessment; however, it is not the first stage.

Page Number: 109 Question 9 Type: MCSA Several nurses at the county health department are involved in planning community health. In order to create a plan that will be acceptable to members of the community, who else should be involved in this venture? 1. As many people from the community as possible 2. Physicians and other nurses 3. Members of the chamber of commerce and governing board of the community 4. Just the nurses at the county health department Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: A broadly based planning group is most likely to create a plan that is acceptable to members of the community. People who are involved in planning become educated about problems, resources, and interrelationships within the system. Responsibility for planning at the community level is usually broadly based and needs to include as many of the community partners as possible. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Physicians and other nurses may not understand the community’s health needs. Rationale 3: Members of the chamber of commerce and community governing board may not understand the community’s health needs. Rationale 4: The nurses may not understand the community’s health needs.

The public health nurse has set up video conferencing and video clinics for these home health nurses regarding various client teaching and health promotion activities. What activity did the public health nurse conduct? 1. Community-based nursing 2. Parish nursing 3. Telenursing 4. Collaborative health care Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Community-based nursing is nursing care directed toward specific individuals. Rationale 2: Parish nursing focuses on integrating aspects of faith and members of a particular congregation and health care or nursing needs. Rationale 3: Telehealth projects use communication and information technology to provide health information and health care services to people in rural, remote, or underserviced areas. Video conferences and video clinics enable health care workers to provide distant consultation to assess and treat ambulatory clients who have a variety of health care needs. Telenursing enables nurses to provide client teaching and health promotion to distant clients.

In what capacity are the nurses and care providers working? 1. Collaboration 2. Case management 3. Health promotion 4. Health education Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Collaboration means a collegial working relationship with other health care providers to supply patient care. Collaborative practice requires the discussion of diagnoses and management in the delivery of care. Rationale 2: Case management involves one person overseeing the needs and requirements of a particular individual's health. Rationale 3: Health promotion activities include disease prevention and healthy lifestyle interventions.

Which action by the nurse ensures that HIPAA requirements are met? 1. Have the client sign a consent form for information to be released. 2. Have sending agencies call ahead before any information is sent. 3. Do not utilize the fax machine; depend on the mail system. 4. Take relevant information over the phone. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Signing a consent form for information to be released is necessary to share information, but this would not ensure the privacy aspect of HIPAA—only the disclosure aspect. Rationale 2: Case manager nurses need to maintain vigilance to protect the privacy of client health care information when sending and receiving messages. In this case, having the sending agency call prior to faxing information would alert the nurse to collect the information from the fax machine at the time it is received, securing that information so others do not have access to it. Rationale 3: Sending information through the mail takes time and does not ensure the privacy of the information. Rationale 4: Phone conversations and information taken during the conversation must be protected and taken in a secured way to ensure HIPAA privacy aspects have not been breached.

Social worker Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Effective discharge planning necessitates health team conferences and family conferences and gives the client, family, and health care professionals the opportunity to plan care and set goals. Involving the client's spouse would be important in this situation because of the complexity of the client's situation. Rationale 2: Effective discharge planning necessitates health team conferences and family conferences and gives the client, family, and health care professionals the opportunity to plan care and set goals The physician, pharmacist, and social worker may also be included, but by their own decision—not necessarily by the nurse's invitation.

On which item should the home health nurse focus to determine effectiveness of discharge teaching? 1. Activity restrictions 2. Follow-up appointment dates 3. Return demonstration of dressing change 4. Signs of complications Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Activity restrictions are important; however, it would not be possible for the client to demonstrate the expectation to the nurse. Rationale 2: Knowing when to follow up with a health care provider is important; however, it would not be possible for the client to demonstrate the expectation to the nurse. Rationale 3: Clients need teaching before discharge that includes information about medications, dietary and activity restrictions, signs of complications that need to be reported to the physician, follow-up appointments, and where supplies can be obtained. Clients, and perhaps caregivers, also need to demonstrate safe performance of any necessary treatments. Clients need help to understand their situation, to make health care decisions, and to learn new health behaviors. All the options would be important for the client to retain, but to determine whether the task of changing the dressing was learned, the client would have to demonstrate the skill back to the nurse.

Indirect care Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Hands-on care includes physical assessments, dressing changes, and managing IV sites for therapies, which is not the scenario described here. Rationale 2: Direct care is the same as hands-on care, which is not the scenario described here. Rationale 3: Client advocacy is not the scenario described here. Rationale 4: Indirect care is provided by the home health nurse to the client each time the nurse consults with other health care providers about ways to improve nursing care for the client.

Before the nurse contacts a home care agency, who should write the order for the client to receive home care? 1. Physician Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. Nurse 3. Social worker 4. Physical therapist Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: A client may be referred to home health care by providers, nurses, social workers, and therapists, but home care cannot begin without a physician's order and a physician-approved treatment plan. This is a legal reimbursement requirement. Rationale 2: A client may be referred to home health care by providers, nurses, social workers, and therapists, but home care cannot begin with a nurse’s order. Rationale 3: A client may be referred to home health care by providers, nurses, social workers, and therapists, but home care cannot begin with a social worker’s order.

Page Number: 119 Question 5 Type: MCSA During the first home care visit, the nurse determines that the client needs speech therapy, physical therapy, and custodial care several times a week. When should the nurse schedule the client’s care to begin? 1. As soon as the nurse completes the initial assessment 2. As soon as the client agrees to the care 3. When the physician signs the plan of care the nurse develops Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. Within 48 hours of the nurse's visit Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Completing the initial assessment identifies but does not initiate client care. Rationale 2: The client agreeing to care indicates the client’s involvement in the process but does not initiate care. Rationale 3: At the initial visit, the nurse develops a plan of care that identifies the client's needs. This plan must by reviewed, approved, authorized, and signed by the attending physician before the home health agency providers can continue with services. Rationale 4: Care might begin within 48 hours but initiation is dependent on many other factors.

Which care provider should be prepared to coordinate this client's care? 1. Physician 2. Nurse 3. Social worker 4. Home health agency Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Case coordination is essential but is not a physician responsibility. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Because clients often require the services of several professionals, case coordination is essential and generally rests with the registered nurse. Rationale 3: Case coordination is not the responsibility of a social worker. Rationale 4: Case coordination is not the responsibility of a home health agency.

In which type of agency is this nurse employed? 1. Institution based 2. Private 3. Not-for-profit 4. Official Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Institution-based agencies operate under a parent organization such as a hospital and are funded by the same sources as the parent. That is not the situation described here. Rationale 2: Private, proprietary agencies are for-profit organizations and are governed by either individual owners or national corporations. That is not the situation described here. Rationale 3: Not-for-profit or voluntary agencies are supported by donations, endowments, charities such as the United Way, and third-party reimbursement.

What care need should the nurse identify as being covered by the client’s health plan? 1. Dressings and bandages 2. Medications 3. A hospital bed 4. Visits by the home health nurse Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Supplies that the client uses and cannot be reused are not considered DME. Rationale 2: Supplies that the client uses and cannot be reused are not considered DME. Rationale 3: Durable medical equipment (DME) ranges from hospital beds to bedside commodes to ventilators and apnea monitors. Equipment that will not be "used up" is considered DME.

What client action is causing the nurse to question if home care can be prescribed for this client? 1. Lives with a spouse 2. Needs skilled care 3. Needs intermittent care 4. Drives a car for trips to the barber Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Living with a spouse is allowed for reimbursement by insurance companies. Rationale 2: Needing skilled care is allowed for reimbursement by insurance companies. Rationale 3: Needing intermittent care is allowed for reimbursement by insurance companies.

The client understands all the consequences of this decision and is not supported by his family. The nurse is meeting with the family to help them understand the significance of the client's decision and to help them support the client during this difficult time. In which role is the nurse functioning? 1. Caregiver 2. Advocate 3. Educator 4. Counselor Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The home health nurse's major role as caregiver is to assess and diagnose the client's actual and potential health problems. That is not the role described here. Rationale 2: As a client advocate, the nurse explores and supports the client's choices in health care. Advocacy includes having discussions about the client's rights, advance medical directives, living wills, and durable power of attorney for health care. At times, the client's views may vary from those of other family members. In the event of conflict, the nurse ensures that the client's rights and desires are upheld. Rationale 3: The educator role focuses on teaching illness care, prevention of problems, and promotion of optimal wellness or well-being. That is not the role described here.

The client has agreed to a DNR (do not resuscitate) order; however, the spouse tells the nurse to call 911. What action should the nurse take? 1. Assess vital signs. 2. Call 911. 3. Start CPR. 4. Remind the spouse of the client's desires. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Assessment of vital signs does not address the immediate situation. Rationale 2: In the event of conflict between the client's desires and the family's wishes, the nurse, being the client's primary advocate, ensures that the client's rights and desires are upheld. This is a difficult situation, but the nurse is bound to the client's desires. Calling 911 would not support the client’s desires. Rationale 3: In the event of conflict between the client's desires and the family's wishes, the nurse, being the client's primary advocate, ensures that the client's rights and desires are upheld. This is a difficult situation, but the nurse is bound to the client's desires. Starting CPR would not support the client’s desires.

Which role is the nurse performing at this time? 1. Caregiver 2. Advocate 3. Educator 4. Coordinator Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The role of caregiver involves assessing and diagnosing actual or potential health problems, planning care, and evaluating the client's outcomes. That is not the role described here. Rationale 2: The advocate role ensures that the rights and desires of the client are upheld. That is not the role described here. Rationale 3: Education can be the most essential aspect of home care practice, the goal of which is to help clients learn to manage as independently as possible. Involving the spouse in care and educating the spouse along with the client promotes wellness and helps prevent problems.

Type: MCSA While assessing a client's environment for safety concerns, the nurse finds that most of the rooms in the house have only one outlet with various cords entering the outlet. When this concern is shared with the client and spouse, they state that "this is the way we've lived for years." What should the nurse do? 1. Provide telephone numbers for local electricians. 2. Continue to persuade the client to have the home rewired. 3. Not bring the subject up again. 4. Document the findings and the client and spouse's response to the concern. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Although not inappropriate, this option is not likely to be acted upon by the client. Rationale 2: Home health nurses cannot expect to change a family's living space and lifestyle, and such an intervention may be resented by the client. Rationale 3: The nurse has an obligation to bring safety issues to the client’s attention. Rationale 4: Home health nurses cannot expect to change a family's living space and lifestyle. However, they can express concern when a situation suggests the possibility for injury. Nurses must document information they provide and the family's response to instruction as well as make ongoing assessments about the family's use of safety precautions.

Page Number: 121 Question 14 Type: MCSA A home health client lives alone in a small apartment and has only one phone, which is a land line. What safety recommendation should the visiting home health nurse make for this particular client? Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. Suggest that the client move to a nursing home or assisted living dwelling. 2. Recommend that the client be enrolled in an emergency response system. 3. Enroll the client in a program that places all of the client's vital medical information in one place for emergency personnel. 4. Have the client post a list of emergency numbers (fire, police, ambulance) near the phone. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Making suggestions for the client to relocate may be a possibility, but this might be premature to suggest at this point. Rationale 2: An emergency response system provides a small device with a help button that attaches to the client's wrist or is worn around the neck. The client can send a signal to a home base that would indicate if the client is in trouble (i.e., has fallen or become ill) and can't get to the phone. This system is particularly useful for clients who live alone. Rationale 3: Having all of the client's medical information in one place is a helpful idea but does not address the concern of effective means of communication. Rationale 4: An emergency response system provides a small device with a help button that attaches to the client's wrist or is worn around the neck. The client can send a signal to a home base that would indicate if the client is in trouble (i.e., has fallen or become ill) and can't get to the phone.

Before going to the client's home, what should the nurse do? Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. Call for an escort. 2. Call the client to let the client know the nurse is on the way. 3. Ask if the client could meet the nurse at the agency. 4. Take a second nurse along on the visit. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Some less desirable living locations pose safety concerns for the nurse. Many home health agencies have contracts with security firms to escort nurses needing to see clients in potentially unsafe neighborhoods. If there is no such firm for escort, the police can also provide security for the nurse. Rationale 2: Calling ahead to the client's home is routine practice, regardless of where the client lives. Rationale 3: Having the client meet the nurse at the agency is inappropriate, especially if the client meets the criteria for home care. Rationale 4: Taking a second nurse along may not be a realistic intervention.

Page Number: 122 Question 16 Type: MCSA A home health nurse has a weekly visit to a client living in less than desirable cleanliness. The client has a central venous access device and requires weekly infusion therapy. What is the best way for the nurse to protect the client against infection? 1. Have the client wash her hands before the infusion begins. 2. Practice strict aseptic technique during the infusion process. 3. Help the client clean the room before starting the infusion. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. Suggest that the client have a housekeeper come on the morning of the infusion. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This intervention will not directly impact the minimization of the risk for infection because the client is not performing the infusion. Rationale 2: Infection control can present a challenge to the home health nurse, especially if the home care facilities are not conducive to basic aseptic requirements. The most important ways to prevent infection are making sure the site is clean, accessing the port following sterile procedure, and following Standard Precautions while accessing the line. Rationale 3: Even if the client's environment is not clean, that doesn't necessarily mean the client is unclean. There is another option that will impact the risk of infection. Rationale 4: Teaching about health practices that prevent infection is important, but the nurse cannot expect to change the client's lifestyle.

Page Number: 123 Question 17 Type: MCMA The nurse is concerned that the spouse of a home care client with multiple sclerosis is experiencing caregiver role strain. What did the nurse observe to come to this conclusion? 1. The home appears cluttered. 2. The spouse expresses feelings of anger. 3. The spouse reports decreased energy. 4. The spouse reports that she is learning how to manage finances. 5. The client asks when the nurse will return for the next visit. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 2, 3 Rationale 1: Evidence of caregiver role strain would be dramatic change in the home environment’s appearance. Clutter would not be a dramatic change. Rationale 2: Feelings of anger are evidence of caregiver role strain. Rationale 3: Reports of declining physical energy and insufficient time for caregiving indicate caregiver role strain. Rationale 4: Learning how to manage finances is a positive statement and would not indicate caregiver role strain. Rationale 5: Asking when the nurse will make the next visit is not an indication of caregiver role strain.

Page Number: 123 Question 18 Type: MCSA After completing an initial assessment, the nurse identifies teaching that the client will need. Why did the nurse identify learning needs for this client? 1. Lack of knowledge related to health conditions and self-care 2. The fact that there is little time to complete education in the acute care setting 3. The fact that teaching someone who is willing to learn is easier in the home 4. The need for reimbursement for education by Medicare Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: One of the most common health issues that nurses address with clients in home care settings is lack of knowledge related to health conditions and self-care. Client education is considered a skill reimbursed by Medicare. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Although this may be true in some situations, it is not the reason that education is a focus of home health nursing care. Not all home care clients come from acute care, and education is still implemented in this setting. Rationale 3: Not all home clients are willing or ready to learn, even though they are in their own home environment. Rationale 4: Client education is considered a skill reimbursed by Medicare.

While the client is still a patient in the acute care hospital 3. After the client has been home for a few days and can help the nurse decide what is needed 4. When the spouse is available to assist in the assessment Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Once the client is at home, the need for the devices will be immediate and the client may have to wait unnecessarily for the required items. Rationale 2: Assessment for the older client being discharged to home health should be initiated while the client is in the hospital to determine the need for assistive devices or environmental changes before the client returns home. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Waiting a few days is a delay that is not beneficial for the client, who requires these items upon arriving home.

Client's spouse Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Even though the client may become independent in self-care skills, assurance is not the client’s responsibility. Rationale 2: Even though the client and family may become independent in self-care skills, the home health nurse still has the ultimate responsibility to ensure that the client is receiving the prescribed therapy at the appropriate timed intervals. On subsequent home visits, the nurse observes the same parameters assessed on the initial visit. Rationale 3: Even though the physician has responsibilities to the client, assurance in this area is not one of them.

A client tells the nurse about researching on the Internet for information about a newly prescribed medication. What should the nurse respond to the client? 1. "I'm glad you're interested in your therapy." 2. "Information on the Internet cannot be trusted. You should check with your pharmacist." 3. "Your physician is the one you should be asking these kinds of questions." 4. "Let's look at some of the sites you've been visiting." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Although being involved in one’s care is desirable, there are concerns related to information accessed on the Internet. Rationale 2: This statement is not necessarily true, although there are concerns about information accessed on the Internet. Rationale 3: Although this statement isn’t incorrect, the client should be able to access reliable information in order to be well informed. Rationale 4: Thousands of health-related sites exist on the Internet, with new ones occurring daily. There are no controls to ensure that information provided on these sites is accurate. Therefore, the nurse should help the client find reliable and accurate information. Clients are involved consumers. Wanting more information about their medications, disease processes, and treatment options is taking a proactive approach to their own care. It is appropriate to ask questions and seek information from a variety of sources. However, nurses must assist clients in making sure the information they gather is credible and accurate.

"Don't worry; your information is always safe." 2. "Information in our system requires a password to retrieve." 3. "Our system was designed with a lot of input from nursing staff." 4. "I can see why you're worried, with all the computer hackers out there these days." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Information in a computer data system may not always be safe, and it would be inappropriate for the nurse to say this. Rationale 2: Maintaining privacy and security of data is a significant issue. One way that computers can protect data is by the use of passwords—only those persons who have a legitimate need to access the data receive the password. Rationale 3: Nurses need to be involved with the design, implementation, and evaluation of client-based patient records (CPRs) to maximize their use and effectiveness, but this does not ensure security.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 10 Question 1 Type: MCSA The nurse is providing care to a group of clients. For which situation would the nurse’s use of critical thinking be a priority? 1. Administering IV push meds to critically ill clients 2. Educating a home health client about treatment options 3. Teaching new parents car seat safety 4. Assisting an orthopedic client with the proper use of crutches Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Administering IV meds (even to critically ill clients) does not require much reasoning. There are standard procedures to follow and, most of the time, clear answers about the rationale. Rationale 2: Nurses who utilize good critical thinking skills are able to think and act in areas where there are neither clear answers nor standard procedures. Treatment options, especially for the home health client, can be extensive. There are many points to consider (good and bad), and choosing between treatment options can cause conflict among family members. The nurse in this case must use creativity, analysis based on science, and problem-solving skills—all of which contribute to critical thinking skills. Rationale 3: Teaching new parents about car seat safety does not require much reasoning. There are standard procedures to follow and, most of the time, clear answers about the rationale. Rationale 4: Teaching correct use of crutches does not require much reasoning. There are standard procedures to follow and, most of the time, clear answers about the rationale.

MNL Learning Outcome: 1.4.1. Analyze the role of assessment in the establishment of the nursing process. Page Number: 144 Question 2 Type: MCSA A client recovering from a stroke does not want to perform prescribed shoulder exercises. What should the nurse say to the client that demonstrates critical thinking with creativity? 1. "You'll only get worse if you don't do these exercises." 2. "As soon as you get these into your routine, you'll feel better." 3. "Your physician wouldn't have ordered these if they weren't important." 4. "Here's a marker. See how many circles you can make on this board in 10 minutes." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Explaining the rationale for doing or not doing the exercises is not using creativity. It is merely explaining the reason. Rationale 2: This shows no creativity and merely dismisses the client’s concerns and feelings. Rationale 3: This shows no creativity and merely dismisses the client’s feelings. Rationale 4: Making the exercise routine into something more fun—such as a game, drawing a picture, or even "decorating the walls," for example—would raise a challenge to the client, take the focus off the “why,” and still achieve the end result.

A student nurse resists when encouraged to be creative when providing client care. What should the nurse educator say to encourage this student to be creative? 1. "Creativity allows unique solutions to unique problems." 2. "Not all your answers are going to be from your textbook." 3. "Creativity makes nursing more fun." 4. "You'll get bored if you don't learn to be creative." Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Creativity is thinking that results in the development of new ideas and products and is the ability to develop and implement new and better solutions. When nurses incorporate creativity into their thinking, they are able to find unique solutions to unique problems. Creativity does make the nurse look beyond the answers found in the text, but it also brings originality and individuality to nursing. Rationale 2: This option does not address the reason creativity is a major component of critical thinking, and appears to dismiss the student’s statement. Rationale 3: This option doesn’t address the reason for creativity in nursing and merely trivializes its importance. Rationale 4: This option doesn’t address the reason for creativity in nursing and merely provides a personal motive for creativity.

Page Number: 145 Question 4 Type: MCSA The nurse educator assigns students an activity to implement Socratic questioning in their daily lives. Which question provided by a student demonstrates this reasoning technique? Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. "What makes you think cramming for a test is an ineffective way to study?" 2. "What other ways of studying could you implement?" 3. "If you didn't study for your test, what is the probability you will fail?" 4. "If you study all the unit outcomes, what effect will that have?" Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Socratic questioning is a technique one can use to look beneath the surface, recognize and examine assumptions, search for inconsistencies, examine multiple points of view, and differentiate what one knows from what one merely believes. Questions about evidence and reason focus on just that (e.g., what evidence is there, how you know, what would change your mind). Rationale 2: Asking about ways to study would be a question about the problem (studying), which is not an example of Socratic questioning. Rationale 3: Asking about the effects of studying is questioning about implications and consequences, which is not an example of Socratic questioning. Rationale 4: Asking about the effects of studying is questioning about implications and consequences, which is not an example of Socratic questioning.

Page Number: 146 Question 5 Type: MCSA A client is experiencing a productive cough, audible coarse crackles, elevated temperature of 102.3°F, chills, and body aches. What did the nurse use to determine that this patient is experiencing respiratory compromise? 1. Deductive reasoning 2. Inductive reasoning Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Socratic questioning 4. Critical analysis Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Deductive reasoning is reasoning from the general to the specific. The nurse starts with a framework and makes descriptive interpretations of the client's condition in relation to the framework. Productive cough, crackles, fever, and chills all point to problems with respiratory status. Rationale 2: Inductive reasoning would be making a generalization from a set of facts or observation. In this case, the nurse using inductive reasoning could presume that the client has bronchitis or a bacterial respiratory infection. Rationale 3: Socratic questioning looks beneath the surface and asks questions to come to a conclusion about the situation; that is not what is described in this scenario. Rationale 4: Critical analysis looks beneath the surface and asks questions to come to a conclusion about the situation.

Page Number: 147 Question 6 Type: MCSA A client with a PhD in epidemiology has been to numerous physicians and has had numerous laboratory tests, all of which were abnormal, and exploratory surgery, but no one is able to explain the etiology of his problem. The client also states that he has a rare form of a neurological disorder. Which statement should the nurse make that demonstrates critical thinking? 1. "Why don't you just tell your physician what you think you have?" 2. "Did you bring your prior tests and results with you, so we don't repeat anything?" 3. "If you know what you have, what do you want from us?" Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. "Describe what tests you've had and explain the symptoms of this disorder." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Asking "why" questions make clients very defensive, and doing so does not utilize critical thinking skills. Rationale 2: Asking a "yes/no" question offers little other information, and doing so does not utilize critical thinking skills. Rationale 3: Asking the client what he wants does not help to find out more information about the client's situation or prior history, and doing so does not utilize critical thinking skills. Rationale 4: In critical thinking, the nurse also differentiates statements of fact, inference, judgment, and opinion. The nurse will have to ascertain the accuracy of information and evaluate the credibility of the information sources.

Page Number: 147 Question 7 Type: MCSA A nurse educator has always believed that lectures with focused outlines are the best way to present theory content in class. A colleague, who teaches the same group of students, but a different subject, utilizes group work and in-class activities to teach difficult content and finds that students perform as well, or better, on their tests. The first educator in this situation is starting to rethink her position. What behavior is the first educator demonstrating? 1. Integrity 2. Perseverance 3. Fair-mindedness 4. Humility Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Intellectual integrity requires that individuals apply the same rigorous standards of proof to their own knowledge and beliefs as they apply to the knowledge and beliefs of others. Trying new teaching techniques in the hope that students might respond positively shows that the first educator is willing to question her own practices, just as she would question those of another. Rationale 2: Perseverance is determination that enables critical thinkers to clarify concepts and sort out related issues, in spite of difficulties and frustrations. Rationale 3: Fair-mindedness is assessing all viewpoints with the same standards and not basing judgments on personal or group bias or prejudice. Rationale 4: Intellectual humility means having an awareness of the limits of one's own knowledge. Critical thinkers are willing to admit what they do not know, seek new information, and rethink their conclusions in light of new knowledge.

Page Number: 149 Question 8 Type: MCSA The nurse who just moved from an urban area to a sparsely populated rural area understands that certain customs and practices the nurse follows may be quite foreign to the people in the new area. Which attitude of critical thinking is the nurse demonstrating? 1. Fair-mindedness 2. Insight into egocentricity 3. Intellectual humility 4. Intellectual courage to challenge the status quo and rituals Correct Answer: 2 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Fair-mindedness means assessing all viewpoints with the same standards and not basing judgments on personal or group bias or prejudice. Rationale 2: Critical thinkers are open to the possibility that their personal biases or social pressures and customs could unduly affect their thinking. They actively try to examine their own biases and bring them to awareness each time they make a decision. Understanding that how things were done and what practices were common may be completely different in the new surroundings is an example of the nurse implementing this attitude. Rationale 3: Intellectual humility means having an awareness of the limits of one's own knowledge. Rationale 4: Intellectual courage to challenge the status quo and rituals is taking a fair examination of one's own ideas or views, especially those to which one may have a strongly negative reaction.

Page Number: 148 Question 9 Type: MCSA The nurse implements a quicker way to set up and initiate an intravenous infusion while still following safe practice. Which attitude of critical thinking is this nurse practicing? 1. Independence 2. Intellectual courage to challenge the status quo or rituals 3. Integrity 4. Confidence Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Nurses who can think for themselves and consider different methods of performing technical skills—not just the way they may have been taught in school—develop an attitude of independence.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Courage to challenge the status quo comes from recognizing that sometimes beliefs are false or misleading. Integrity requires that individuals apply the same rigorous standards of proof to their own knowledge and beliefs; that is not what is described in the scenario. Rationale 3: Integrity requires that individuals apply the same rigorous standards of proof to their own knowledge and beliefs; that is not what is described in the scenario.

Page Number: 148 Question 10 Type: MCSA The nurse questions the practice of administering rectal suppositories to residents in a long-term care facility at bedtime, rather than earlier in the day. When told that this is the best time for staff and that's the routine that has been practiced for a long time, the nurse continues to research whether there would be a better time, especially in the best interest of the residents. Which critical thinking attitude is this nurse demonstrating? 1. Confidence 2. Perseverance 3. Curiosity 4. Integrity Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Confidence comes from cultivating reasoning and examining arguments. In this case, the nurse did not reason anything out, but is asking questions.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Perseverance happens from determination in clarifying concepts and sorting out related issues, in spite of difficulties and frustrations. This nurse is asking questions, not making any changes in spite of difficulties or frustrations. Rationale 3: The internal conversation going on within the mind of a critical thinker is filled with questions. The curious nurse may value tradition but is not afraid to examine traditions to be sure they are still valid, as in this case. This nurse is asking valid questions.

Which attribute of critical thinking is this nurse practicing? 1. Reflection 2. Context 3. Dialogue 4. Time Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Reflection involves being able to determine what data are relevant and to make connections between that data and the decisions reached. The nurse reflects on previous clinical experiences similar to this one and determines if the outcomes of care improved the clients’ conditions.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Context is an essential consideration in nursing because care must always be individualized, taking knowledge and applying it to real people, but that is not what is described in the scenario.

Time Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Reflection involves being able to determine what data are relevant and to make connections between that data and the decisions reached. Rationale 2: Context is being considerate of the whole situation—including relationships, background, and environment—and its relevant to the current situation. Rationale 3: Dialogue, which need not involve other persons, refers to the process of serving as both teacher and student in learning from situations.

Once the nurse determines the child is stable, the nurse continues to perform a check of all the lines and equipment in the room and finds that the last IV solution hung by the previous nurse was not the correct solution. Which problem-solving method did this nurse use? 1. Trial and error 2. Intuition 3. Judgment 4. Scientific method Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Trial and error is solving problems through a number of approaches until a solution is found. Rationale 2: Intuition is the understanding or learning of things without the conscious use of reasoning. It is also known as sixth sense, hunch, instinct, feeling, or suspicion. Clinical experience allows the nurse to recognize cues and patterns and begin to reach correct conclusions using intuition. Finding no cause for concern in the physical assessment of the client, the nurse is not satisfied and continues to assess the client's surroundings, finding the error. Rationale 3: Judgment is not part of problem solving.

Rationale 2: The scientific method is a formalized, systematic, and logical approach to solving problems. Rationale 3: The research process is a formalized, systematic, and logical approach to solving problems. Rationale 4: Trial and error is solving problems by utilizing a number of approaches. Trial-and-error methods can be dangerous in nursing because the client might suffer harm if an approach is inappropriate. In this case, the client may not suffer harm, but there will be no way to know if one product used is effective because the nurse is changing them on a daily basis.

Page Number: 148 Question 16 Type: MCSA A client with unstable cardiac dysrhythmias has orders for medications, one of which is by oral route, the other by IV delivery. The nurse realizes that the IV route would be fastest, but is also concerned about the side effects that this drug may produce and the fact that the client has never taken the drug, so any adverse effect is unknown. Which part of the decision-making process is the nurse using? 1. Identify the purpose 2. Seek alternatives 3. Project 4. Implement Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Identifying the purpose, in this case, would be determining that the client needs intervention to control the dysrhythmia. Rationale 2: In this step, the decision maker (nurse) identifies possible ways to meet the criteria. Alternatives considered are which by route to give a certain medication: IV versus oral. The nurse is utilizing his experience, taking what he knows about cardiac problems and pharmacology, and will make a selection based on that information. Rationale 3: Projecting is when the nurse applies creative thinking and skepticism to determine what might go wrong as a result of a decision and develops plans to prevent, minimize, or overcome any problems.

MNL Learning Outcome: 1.4.1. Analyze the role of assessment in the establishment of the nursing process. Page Number: 146 Question 17 Type: MCSA Prior to providing client care, the nurse reviews previous shift charting and the responses to nursing interventions. Which decision-making action is the nurse using? 1. Set the criteria 2. Examine alternatives 3. Implement 4. Evaluate the outcome Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Setting criteria is based on three questions: What is the desired outcome? What needs to be preserved? What needs to be avoided? Rationale 2: Examining alternatives ensures that there is an objective rationale in relation to the established criteria for choosing one strategy over another. Rationale 3: Implementation is putting a plan into action. Rationale 4: In evaluating, the nurse determines the effectiveness of the plan and whether the initial purpose was achieved. In this situation, the nurse wants to determine what worked on the previous shift and what didn't. This will help with deciding on interventions for the client during the shift.

Parents ask why invasive diagnostic tests were prescribed for their ill child. The nurse has just gotten out of report and has not had a chance to review additional information. What should the nurse respond to the parents? 1. "I'm not sure I can answer your question just now." 2. "It's a good idea to listen to what your physician wants." 3. "Your child's doctor is the best there is. I don't see why you wouldn't follow his advice." 4. "Maybe you should get another opinion if you're not comfortable with your doctor." Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Suspending judgment means tolerating ambiguity for a time. If an issue is complex, it may not be resolved quickly and judgment should be postponed. In this case, the nurse just doesn't have enough information to give a good answer to the parents. For a while, the nurse will need to say "I don't know" and be comfortable with that answer. Rationale 2: Telling the parents to agree with the physician before the nurse knows all the facts might be premature, even if he is the best physician in the area. Rationale 3: Nurses should not give advice or counsel. Rationale 4: It would be premature to tell the parents to get another opinion.

Page Number: 146 Question 19 Type: MCSA A client complaining of "extreme" low back pain is pale and diaphoretic and walks bent at the waist. Before taking vital signs, the nurse suspects that the blood pressure and heart rate will be elevated. What thought process did the nurse use to come to this conclusion? 1. Fact Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. Inference 3. Judgment 4. Opinion Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: A fact can be verified through investigation. In this case, facts would be the elevated pulse and blood pressure readings. Rationale 2: Inferences are conclusions drawn from facts, going beyond facts to make a statement about something that is not currently known. In this case, acute, severe pain will most likely cause the blood pressure as well as pulse rate to be elevated as the body's response to the painful experience. Rationale Judgment is evaluating facts and information that reflect values or other criteria; it is a type of opinion. Because the nurse understands the pathophysiology of pain, thinking about changes in vital signs is more than a judgment—it is an inference. Rationale 4: Opinions are beliefs formed over time and include judgments that may fit facts or be in error.

4. Evaluate Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Assessment is the process of collecting data. Rationale 2: Diagnosing is putting a label on the problem. Rationale 3: The planning portion of the nursing process involves setting criteria, weighting the criteria, and seeking/examining alternatives when compared to the decision-making process.

What behavior is this nurse demonstrating? 1. Inference 2. Judgment 3. Opinion 4. Evaluation Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Inferences are conclusions drawn from the facts, going beyond facts to make a statement about something not currently known. Rationale 2: Judgment is an evaluation of facts or information that reflects values or other criteria. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Opinions are beliefs formed over time and include judgments that may fit facts or be in error. In this case, the nurse may not understand that, culturally, this may be very appropriate and fitting for this client. If this is the case, the nurse should not become disturbed by the spouse's attention. Rationale 4: Evaluation is considering the results or outcome.

What characteristic of critical thinking is this nurse demonstrating? 1. Curiosity 2. Clinical reasoning 3. Setting priorities 4. Developing rationales Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Curiosity is questioning the status quo. The curious nurse may value tradition but is not afraid to examine traditions to be sure they are still valid. Rationale 2: Clinical reasoning is the analysis of a clinical situation as it unfolds or develops. Rationale 3: Setting priorities is determining what needs to be completed in a specific order to support client care needs. Rationale 4: Developing rationales is when the nurse transfers nursing knowledge to the clinical situation to justify the plan of care. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

To combat this, the educator pairs the student with a staff nurse who has clients with a variety of treatments and cares. Which type of problem solving is the instructor using? 1. Trial and error 2. Intuition 3. Research process 4. Experience Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Trial and error uses a number of approaches until a solution is found. Rationale 2: Intuition is the understanding or learning of things without the conscious use of reasoning. It is also known as the sixth sense, hunch, instinct, feeling, or suspicion. In this case, the educator has a sense that the student is struggling, although there are no real facts to support it.

What is the first thing that the student should realize about the purpose of this process? 1. Deliver care to a client in an organized way. 2. Implement a plan that is close to the medical model. 3. Identify client needs and deliver care to meet those needs. 4. Make sure that standardized care is available to clients. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Delivery of organized care is not part of the nursing process, although each phase is interrelated. Rationale 2: The nursing process is not part of the medical model, as nurses treat the client's response to the disease or problem. Rationale 3: The purpose of the nursing process is to identify a client's health status and actual or potential health care problems or needs, to establish plans to meet the identified needs, and to deliver specific nursing interventions to meet those needs. Rationale 4: The nursing process is individualized for each client's care plan. It is not about standardizing care. Global Rationale:

"I'll be done shortly, just give me a few more minutes." 4. "You shouldn't be upset. We're only doing our jobs." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Before asking more questions, the nurse should review what is already at hand. Rationale 2: Repeated questioning can be stressful and annoying, especially for hospitalized clients, and cause concern about the lack of communication among health professionals. The nurse should review previous records that contain data about the client's occupation, religion, and marital status, as well as take time to review all the information the previous nurse collected. Validating the client's feelings is always a good idea and helps to build rapport between the nurse and client. Rationale 3: This option does not address the client’s legitimate concern, nor does it acknowledge the client’s feelings. Rationale 4: Telling the client "we're only doing our jobs" is belittling to the client and doesn't offer a therapeutic response.

Is quite animated (laughs aloud, smiles, uses hand gestures) in conversation with spouse." Which method of data collection does this documentation demonstrate? 1. Examining 2. Interviewing 3. Listening 4. Observing Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Examining is the major method used in the physical health assessment. Rationale 2: Interviewing is used mainly while taking the nursing health history. Rationale 3: Listening is only one part of observing. Rationale 4: Observation is a conscious, deliberate skill that is developed through effort and with an organized approach.

Which noise may become indiscriminate for this particular nurse? 1. A client with audible breathing 2. Moaning of a client in pain 3. Whirring of ventilators 4. Co-orkers discussing their clients' conditions Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Nurses often need to focus on specific data in order not to be overwhelmed by a multitude of data. Observing involves discriminating data in a meaningful manner (i.e., noticing things that may indicate cause for concern or action on the nurse's part). Listening to a client's breathing helps the nurse become attentive to changes in breathing patterns. Rationale 2: Nurses often need to focus on specific data in order not to be overwhelmed by a multitude of data. Observing involves discriminating data in a meaningful manner (i.e., noticing things that may indicate cause for concern or action on the nurse's part). A client's moans of pain should never become easy to listen to. Rationale 3: The noises of machines and other equipment noises—except alarms—would be easy to ignore, as these are the usual, normal sounds of the unit. Rationale 4: Nurses often need to focus on specific data in order not to be overwhelmed by a multitude of data. Observing involves discriminating data in a meaningful manner (i.e., noticing things that may indicate cause for concern or action on the nurse's part).

Page Number: 164 Question 12 Type: MCSA During an initial interview, the client says "I don't understand why I have to have surgery; I'm really not that sick or in pain right now." How should the nurse respond to the client? 1. "It's OK to be worried. Surgery is a big step." 2. "What kind of questions do you have about your surgery?" 3. "I think these are things you should be asking your doctor." 4. "Have you had surgery before?" Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Simply noting the concern, without dealing with it, can leave the impression that the nurse does not care about the client's concerns or dismisses them as unimportant. Rationale 2: The nurse should use a combination of directive and nondirective approaches during the interview to determine areas of concern for the client. Rationale 3: Passing the questions off for the doctor would leave the impression that the nurse does not care about the client's concerns or dismisses them as unimportant. Rationale 4: A closed question (Have you had surgery before?) does not allow the client to offer much information, besides yes/no or one-word answers.

Type: MCSA The nurse is completing a health history with a client who has complications from chronic asthma. Which openended question should the nurse use? 1. "How would you describe your sleep pattern?" 2. "Can you describe your coughing pattern?" 3. "Is there anything that makes your breathing worse?" 4. "What medications are you on?" Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Open-ended questions invite clients to discover and explore, elaborate, clarify, or illustrate their thoughts or feelings. They specify only the broad topic to be discussed. Open-ended questions invite long answers—longer than one or two words. Rationale 2: Closed questions can be answered with short, factual, and specific information. Rationale 3: Closed questions can be answered with short, factual, and specific information.

Which open-ended question should the nurse use for this situation? 1. "Is your pain worse at night?" Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. "What brought you to the clinic?" 3. "How has the pain impacted your life?" 4. "You're feeling down about having pain, aren't you?" Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Closed questions can be answered with one or two words. Rationale 2: A neutral question is open-ended and is used in nondirective interviews, which is what would be used if the nurse didn't understand the reason for the client's visit. Rationale 3: An open-ended question would be beneficial to explore more about the client's experience and should be asked with a "how" or "what." Rationale 4: A leading question is usually closed and directs the client's answer (the nurse stating how the client is feeling, for example).

Analyze the role of assessment in the establishment of the nursing process. Page Number: 164 Question 15 Type: MCSA A client is coming in to the clinic for the first time. In order for the nurse to allow the client the most comfort during the interview, what should the nurse do? 1. Sit next to the client, a few feet apart. 2. Sit behind a desk. 3. Stand at the side of the client's chair. 4. Stand at the counter to take notes during the interview. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: A seating arrangement in which the client and nurse are seated in chairs, a few feet apart, at right angles to each other and with no table between, creates a less formal atmosphere, with the nurse and client feeling on equal terms. This would allow for more comfort and relaxation during the interview phase. Rationale 2: Sitting behind a desk creates a formal arrangement that suggests a business meeting between a superior and subordinate. Rationale 3: Standing and looking down at a client who is in a chair risks intimidating the client. Rationale 4: Standing and taking notes infers that the nurse is not really interested in the client.

Page Number: 165 Question 16 Type: MCSA A client in the emergency department has a non-life-threatening wound. The unit is busy with other clients, families, and people in the waiting room. How should the nurse conduct an interview with this client? 1. Have the client wait until the department quiets down, as the wound is not too serious. 2. Tell the client to wait in the waiting room and fill out the paperwork. 3. Draw curtains around the client and nurse to provide as much privacy as possible. 4. Make sure the client's back is to the rest of the room so as not to be heard by passersby. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Having the client wait may cause an unnecessary delay in treatment. Rationale 2: Having the client wait and fill out paperwork may cause an unnecessary delay in treatment. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: The interview setting should be in a well-lighted, well-ventilated room that is relatively free of noise, movements, and distractions in order to encourage communication. The interview should also take place in an area where others cannot overhear or see the client if possible. In this situation, at least pulling a privacy curtain will help keep the client from view of others in the department.

As soon as the client gets to the floor 2. After the client has settled in and been oriented to the room 3. When the family is available to help 4. After the client has been medicated Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Interviews should be planned when the client is physically comfortable and free of pain, and when interruptions by the family are minimal. Rationale 2: After the client has been oriented to the bathroom and nurse call light, the nurse should start the interview process. In this situation, the nurse may have to pace the interview according to the client's comfort level. Rationale 3: Interviews should be planned when the client is physically comfortable and free of pain, and when interruptions by the family are minimal.

Have a member of the housekeeping staff who speaks the same language translate. 2. Use the translation services supplied by the hospital. 3. Make sure a family member who does speak English is available. 4. Conduct the interview using hand gestures. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Nurses must be cautious when asking family members, client visitors, or agency nonprofessional staff to assist with translation. Issues of confidentiality or gender mismatch can interfere with effective communication. Rationale 2: Live translation is preferred because the client can then ask questions for clarification. Many large facilities are establishing their own translator services for the languages commonly spoken in their geographical regions. Rationale 3: Nurses must be cautious when asking family members, client visitors, or agency nonprofessional staff to assist with translation. Issues of confidentiality or gender mismatch can interfere with effective communication.

If you need anything, put on your call light.” Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Establishing rapport is a process of creating goodwill and trust and usually begins with a greeting and self-introduction, accompanied by nonverbal gestures such as a smile, a handshake, and a friendly manner. Making introductions, especially offering the use of name, is especially good in establishing rapport. Rationale 2: Telling a hospitalized client he or she is lucky is probably not the best therapeutic comment. Rationale 3: Establishing rapport is a process of creating goodwill and trust and usually begins with a greeting and self-introduction, accompanied by nonverbal gestures such as a smile, a handshake, and a friendly manner.

Health-perception/health-management pattern 4. Value/belief pattern Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Cognitive perceptual patterns describe sensory-perceptual and cognitive patterns. Rationale 2: Coping/stress-tolerance patterns describe the client's general coping pattern and the effectiveness of the patterns in terms of stress tolerance. Rationale 3: Health-perception/health-management pattern describes the client's perceived pattern of health and well-being and how health is managed. Rationale 4: The value/belief pattern describes the patterns of values, beliefs (including spiritual), and goals that guide the client's choices or decisions.

What type of assessment should the nurse complete at this time? 1. Initial assessment 2. Problem-focused assessment 3. Emergency assessment 4. Time-lapsed assessment Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Initial assessment is performed within a specific time after admission to a health care agency. Rationale 2: Problem-focused assessment is an ongoing process integrated with nursing care. Rationale 3: An emergency assessment is performed during any physiologic or psychologic crisis of the client to identify life-threatening problems.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 12 Question 1 Type: MCSA After an assessment, the nurse reviews the list of client problems. For which problems should the nurse create nursing diagnoses? 1. The ones that the nurse is licensed to treat 2. The ones that address other health professionals’ interventions 3. The ones that focus on the client’s primary illness 4. The ones that have standardized care available Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The domain of nursing diagnoses includes only those health states that nurses are educated on and licensed to treat. A nursing diagnosis is a judgment made only after data collection. Nursing diagnoses describe a continuum of health states: deviations from health, presence of risk factors, and areas of enhanced personal growth. Rationale 2: A nursing diagnosis, although familiar to other health care professionals, is nursing focused. Rationale 3: The nursing diagnosis statement is specific to nursing and nurses and does not include the medical diagnosis. Rationale 4: The nursing diagnosis, like the plan of care, is specific to each individual client and the client’s situation.

Question 2 Type: MCSA A client comes to the clinic seeking information and education regarding healthy lifestyles and eating habits. Which type of diagnosis should the nurse select for this client? 1. Risk nursing diagnosis 2. Syndrome diagnosis 3. Wellness diagnosis 4. Actual diagnosis Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: A risk diagnosis is a clinical judgment that a problem does not exist, but the presence of risk factors indicates that a problem is likely to develop unless nurses intervene—that is not what is described in this scenario. Rationale 2: A syndrome diagnosis is associated with a cluster of other diagnoses—that is not what is described in this scenario. Rationale 3: A wellness diagnosis describes the human response to levels of wellness in an individual. This client is seeking information about behavior changes and improvement to assist him in making choices and changes to enhance his life. Rationale 4: An actual diagnosis is a client problem that is present at the time of the nursing assessment.

Which diagnosis should the nurse select for this client? Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. Syndrome diagnosis 2. Risk nursing diagnosis 3. Actual diagnosis 4. Wellness diagnosis Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: A syndrome diagnosis is a diagnosis that is associated with a cluster of other diagnoses (in this situation, Urinary elimination alteration, Impaired skin integrity, and Powerlessness). Rationale 2: A risk nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment that a problem does not exist, but the presence of risk factors indicates that a problem is likely to develop unless the nurse intervenes. Rationale 3: An actual diagnosis is a client problem that is present at the time of the nursing assessment.

Page Number: 176 Question 4 Type: MCSA The nurse is preparing to write nursing diagnoses for a client. What should the nurse recall about the NANDA label? 1. Must contain three components 2. Describes the health problem for which nursing therapy is given 3. Helps define medical diagnoses for nursing Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. Promotes a taxonomy of nursing Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The diagnosis contains three components: the problem and its definition, the etiology, and the defining characteristics. Rationale 2: The problem statement, or diagnostic label, describes the client’s health problem or response for which nursing therapy is given. Rationale 3: The nursing diagnosis is not equated with or defined by medical diagnoses. Rationale 4: The purpose of the NANDA label is to define, refine, and promote a taxonomy of nursing diagnostic terminology of general use to professional nurses. This label describes the health problem or response by the client for which nursing therapy is given.

Page Number: 176 Question 5 Type: MCSA An experienced nurse has just walked into the room of a newly assigned client. Which observation should the nurse use to include a new nursing diagnosis in this client’s plan of care? 1. The client’s eyes are closed. 2. The client’s skin is pale and mottled. 3. The client’s spouse is asleep in the chair next to the bed. 4. The television is on and the volume is turned up. Correct Answer: 2

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Nurses draw on knowledge and experience to compare client data to standards and norms and to identify significant and relevant observations. A sleeping client would not necessarily be recognized as a significant or relevant observation. Rationale 2: Nurses draw on knowledge and experience to compare client data to standards and norms and to identify significant and relevant observations. An observation is considered significant if it points to changes in the client’s health status or pattern, varies from norms of the client population, or indicates a developmental delay. Pale, mottled skin could indicate coldness, a problem with circulation, or even death. Rationale 3: Nurses draw on knowledge and experience to compare client data to standards and norms and to identify significant and relevant cues. A client’s spouse asleep in a chair would not necessarily be recognized as a significant or relevant observation. Rationale 4: Nurses draw on knowledge and experience to compare client data to standards and norms and to identify significant and relevant cues. A television playing loudly would not necessarily be recognized as a significant or relevant observation.

Page Number: 178 Question 6 Type: MCSA The nurse selects the nursing diagnosis of Enhanced readiness for spiritual well-being for a family. Which data cluster did the nurse use to support this diagnosis? 1. The family visits different congregations, the parents have been reflecting on their own spiritual upbringings, and the children are questioning rituals of their friends and friends’ families. 2. The children attend Sunday school classes, one parent always attends services with the children, and the parents attempt interaction with congregational activities. 3. The grandparents go to weekly services and have formal interaction with clergy. 4. The children have attended private, religious schools, and the parents are involved in the school’s activities. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: A wellness diagnosis describes human responses to levels of wellness in an individual family or community that has a readiness for enhancement or improvement. The data cluster that describes the questioning, searching, and reflecting would support an attitude of readiness. Rationale 2: A wellness diagnosis describes human responses to levels of wellness in an individual family or community that has a readiness for enhancement or improvement. This option merely shows activities but no real interest in improvement. Rationale 3: A wellness diagnosis describes human responses to levels of wellness in an individual family or community that has a readiness for enhancement or improvement. This option merely shows activities but no real interest in improvement on the part of only specific family members. Rationale 4: A wellness diagnosis describes human responses to levels of wellness in an individual family or community that has a readiness for enhancement or improvement.

Page Number: 176 Question 7 Type: MCSA The graduate nurse is struggling with identifying cues from clustered data. What should the nurse use to recognize data patterns and cues? 1. Depend on knowledge gained from peers’ experiences. 2. Work with seasoned and experienced nurses and learn from them. 3. Take assessment notes and utilize information from textbooks for comparison. 4. Know that this will take time, and experience is the best teacher. Correct Answer: 3 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Learning from peers is helpful, but does not take the place of didactic information. Rationale 2: Learning from seasoned nurses is helpful, but does not take the place of didactic information. Rationale 3: The novice nurse must take careful assessment notes, search data for abnormal cues, and use textbook resources for comparing the client’s cues with the defining characteristics and etiologic factors of the accepted nursing diagnoses. Rationale 4: Experience teaches much information, but it never takes the place of concrete, scientific theory.

Page Number: 179 Question 8 Type: MCSA The nurse has formulated a diagnosis of Activity intolerance related to decreased airway capacity for a client with chronic asthma. In looking at the client's coping skills, the nurse realizes that the client has a vast knowledge about the disease and what exacerbates symptoms in particular situations. Why should the nurse utilize this information? 1. Strengths can be an aid to mobilizing health and the healing process. 2. The client will be more active in the plan. 3. It will be easier for the nurse to educate the client about other interventions. 4. The nurse won't have to spend time going over the pathology of the client's disease. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Establishing strengths, resources, and ability to cope will help the client develop a more wellrounded self-concept and self-image. Strengths can be an aid to mobilizing health and regenerative processes. Rationale 2: The client may be more active in the plan; however, this does not explain why the client will be more active. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Looking at what will be easier for the nurse is not the reason strengths are included in the client's plan. Rationale 4: Looking at what will be time effective for only the nurse is not the reason strengths are included in the client's plan.

Which nursing diagnosis should the nurse identify as being the most appropriate for this client? 1. Pain due to unknown factors 2. Pain related to unknown etiology 3. Pain caused by psychosomatic condition 4. Pain manifested by client’s report Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The second part of the nursing diagnosis statement is the etiology (E)—the factors contributing to or probable causes—and should be joined to the first part, the problem (P), by the words “related to” rather than “due to.” Rationale 2: The second part of the nursing diagnosis statement is the etiology (E)—the factors contributing to or probable causes—and should be joined to the first part, the problem (P), by the words “related to” rather than “due to.” The phrase “related to” implies a relationship between the problem and the cause. In this situation, the cause is unknown, but the problem is evident. Rationale 3: Making an assumption that the cause is psychosomatic is not within the nurse’s scope of practice. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Knowledge deficit, related to medication regimen 4. Ineffective airway clearance, related to increased secretions Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Prioritizing care must begin with the basic needs. This option is appropriate but does not match the primary need. Rationale 2: Prioritizing care must begin with the basic needs. This option is appropriate but does not match the primary need. Rationale 3: Prioritizing care must begin with the basic needs. This option is appropriate but does not match the primary need.

Risk for infection, because of new incision, related to episiotomy 3. Ineffective breast-feeding, related to lack of motivation, secondary to exhaustion 4. Altered urinary elimination, secondary to childbirth Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: “Manifested” is not appropriate wording of the NANDA statement. Rationale 2: “Because of” is not appropriate wording of the NANDA statement. Rationale 3: The problem statement is listed first (NANDA label), followed by the etiology—factors that contribute to or are the cause of the client’s response. The two parts are joined by the words “related to,” implying a relationship between the two. Adding a second part to the etiology statement makes it more descriptive and useful.

Risk for self-harm, related to many psychiatric problems 3. Impaired social interaction, due to long history of institutionalization 4. Alteration in thought processes, related to complex factors Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: This option poorly describes the causing factors. Rationale 2: This option poorly describes the causing factors. Rationale 3: This option limits the description of causing factors. Rationale 4: The phrase “complex factors” may be used when there are too many etiologic factors or when they are too complex to state in a brief phrase. The actual cause of this client’s altered thought process may be due to psychiatric diagnoses, medication tolerances and noncompliance, history of institutionalization, and life history of mental disease.

What action is the nurse performing to minimize diagnostic errors? 1. Understanding what is normal vs. what is not normal 2. Verifying 3. Consulting resources 4. Basing diagnoses on patterns Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Nurses must apply knowledge from various areas to recognize cues and patterns to understand what is normal and not normal. This comes from principles of chemistry, anatomy, and pharmacology—not the client or the family. Rationale 2: The nurse, while taking the information and collecting data, begins to hypothesize possible explanations of the data and then realizes all diagnoses are only tentative until they are verified. The client and family should be included in the beginning and also at the end of the diagnostic process to verify the nurse's diagnoses. Rationale 3: Both novices and experienced nurses should consult appropriate resources whenever in doubt about a diagnosis; that is not what is described in the scenario.

Which action should the nurse take? 1. Verify the information with the client. 2. Compare all findings to the national norms and standards. 3. Consult other professionals and colleagues. 4. Improve critical thinking skills so answers come more easily. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Verifying the information with the client would be inappropriate because the information does not come from subjective data, but rather from testing and lab values. Rationale 2: The nurse already has compared the findings to the norms and standards. Rationale 3: Both novices and experienced nurses should consult appropriate resources whenever in doubt about a diagnosis. Professional literature, nursing colleagues, and other professionals are all appropriate resources. Rationale 4: Critical-thinking skills help the nurse be aware of and avoid errors. This comes with experience and is a learned and practiced process.

The nurse has completed the initial assessment of a client and has analyzed and clustered the data. What should the nurse complete next in the diagnostic process? 1. Formulate a diagnosis. 2. Verify the data. 3. Research collaborative and nursing-related interventions. 4. Identify the client's problem, health risks, and strengths. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: There are steps in the process that precede the formulation of diagnostic statements. Rationale 2: Verifying the data should be done at the end of the assessment/interview phase. Rationale 3: Researching collaborative and nursing-related interventions comes after setting goals or outcomes and is not part of the diagnostic process, but rather part of the implementation phase. Rationale 4: The step that follows data analysis is identification of the client's health problems, health risks, and strengths.

Page Number: 179 Question 16 Type: MCSA The nurse has formulated the following diagnosis: Activity intolerance, related to weakness and debilitation, manifested by reports of fatigue after any physical activity. What is the defining characteristic of this label? 1. Activity intolerance 2. Weakness and debilitation Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Reports of fatigue 4. Physical activity Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: “Activity intolerance” is the NANDA label and identifies the problem, but “reports of fatigue” is the defining characteristic. Rationale 2: “Weakness and debilitation” are the etiology (underlying cause), but “reports of fatigue” is the defining characteristic. Rationale 3: The defining characteristics are those reports given by the client, or the signs and symptoms. Rationale 4: “Physical activity” is what brings on the reports of the defining characteristic, but “reports of fatigue” is the defining characteristic.

Page Number: 182 Question 17 Type: MCSA A client who has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer is quite upset and verbal. The nurse has formulated the following diagnosis: Anxiety, related to unfamiliarity of disease process, manifested by restlessness and tachycardia. What is the etiology of this diagnosis? 1. Unfamiliarity of disease process 2. Anxiety 3. Restlessness 4. Tachycardia Correct Answer: 1 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: The etiology is the underlying cause and a contributing factor of the client's response. In this case, the uncertainty of the diagnosis, fear of the unknown, and response to the diagnosis cause the client to become anxious and upset. Rationale 2: “Anxiety” is the NANDA label—the problem identified. Rationale 3: “Restlessness” is a defining characteristic that the client exhibits. Rationale 4: “Tachycardia” is a defining characteristic that the client exhibits.

Page Number: 182 Question 18 Type: MCSA The nurse formulates the nursing diagnosis: Acute pain, related to tissue damage, secondary to infarction, manifested by pallor, client report, and shallow, rapid breathing for a client experiencing an acute myocardial infarction. Which collaborative action would be appropriate for this client? 1. Provide a calm, quiet atmosphere in the client's room. 2. Administer pain medication. 3. Educate the client and family regarding treatment and therapies. 4. Monitor for changes in the client's condition. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This option is not collaborative but rather nurse mediated, which the nurse can implement independently. Rationale 2: Collaboration occurs between the nurse, physician, and other health care professionals to treat the client's problem. In this case, the physician prescribes medications, and the nurse administers them—a primarily dependent action that requires physician orders.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 13 Question 1 Type: MCSA A client is admitted to a comprehensive rehabilitation center for continuing care following a motor vehicle crash. The admitting nurse will develop the initial plan of care, but who will be involved with the ongoing planning of this client's care? 1. The admitting nurse 2. All nurses who work with the client 3. Everybody involved in this client's care 4. The client and the client's support system Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The continuation of the client’s care plan is not the sole responsibility of the admitting nurse. Rationale 2: Although this is true, there is another option that better answers the item. Rationale 3: Planning is basically the nurse's responsibility, but input from the client and support persons is essential if a plan is to be effective. In this case, therapies from other disciplines (occupational, physical, speech, etc.) would be involved because the client is in a comprehensive rehabilitation center. The client's support people and caregivers are also going to be involved in the plan of care, but not exclusively.

Type: MCSA A client is admitted for complications following a routine diagnostic procedure of the colon. Which type of care plan will most likely be implemented for this client? 1. Informal nursing care plan 2. Formal nursing care plan 3. Standardized care plan 4. Individualized care plan Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: An informal nursing care plan is a strategy for action that exists only in the nurse's mind; this does not meet the needs expressed in the item. Rationale 2: A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes information about the client's care; this does not meet the needs expressed in the item. Rationale 3: A standardized care plan is a formal plan that specifies the nursing care for groups of clients with common needs. Rationale 4: An individualized care plan is tailored to meet a specific client need that is not addressed by the standardized care plan. In this situation, the client had complications following a relatively routine procedure— something that is unplanned and a rare occurrence.

1. Informal nursing care plan 2. Formal nursing care plan 3. Standardized care plan 4. Individualized care plan Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: An informal nursing care plan is a strategy for action that exists in the nurse's mind. Rationale 2: A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes information about the client's care. Rationale 3: A standardized care plan is a formal plan that specifies the nursing care for groups of clients with common needs. For example, all clients undergoing hip replacement surgery would have basic, similar needs or problems such as pain, skin integrity disruption, risk for infection, decreased mobility, or risk for fall or injury.

Ensuring that minimally accepted standards are met Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Promoting efficient use of the nurse's time 4. Eliminating care disparities among clients 5. Ensuring medication errors do not occur Correct Answer: 2, 3 Rationale 1: Ensuring that all clients receive the same type of care is not appropriate, as care must be individualized to meet the client's needs. Rationale 2: Standards of care, standardized care plans, protocols, policies, and procedures are developed and accepted by the nursing staff in order to ensure that minimally acceptable criteria are met. Rationale 3: Standards of care, standardized care plans, protocols, policies, and procedures are developed and accepted by the nursing staff in order to promote efficient use of nurses’ time by removing the need to author common activities that are done repeatedly for many of the clients on a nursing unit. Rationale 4: Standardized documents will not eliminate care disparities among clients. Rationale 5: Standardized documents will not ensure that medication errors do not occur.

Which type of document did the nurse use to find these actions? 1. Standardized care plan 2. Protocol 3. Standards of care Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. Policy and procedure manual Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Standardized care plans are preprinted guides for the nursing care of a client who has a need that arises frequently in the agency—or all nursing diagnoses associated with a particular medical condition. In this situation, the nurse is not working from the written care plan, as the baby has just been admitted. Rationale 2: Protocols are preprinted to indicate the actions commonly required for a particular group of clients. Protocols may include both physicians' orders and nursing interventions. Rationale 3: Standards of care describe nursing actions for clients with similar medical conditions rather than individuals, and they describe achievable rather than ideal nursing care.

Page Number: 191 Question 6 Type: MCSA A nurse in the intensive care unit consults unit policy and administers a routinely used medication to a client admitted to the unit with severe hypotension. What did the nurse implement in this situation? 1. A STAT order 2. A one-time order 3. A prn order 4. A standing order Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: A STAT order is one that must be carried out immediately. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: A one-time order is for an action to be done only once. Rationale 3: “prn” is pro re nata–Latin for "as needed." Rationale 4: Standing orders are a written document about policies, rules, regulations, or orders regarding client care.

The client lives alone in a rural area, does not drive, and is 40 miles away from a hospital. What should the home care nurse do when setting priorities for this client? 1. Make sure that he or she is able to get to the client's home. 2. Assist the client in finding an alternative plan for the achieving the therapy’s outcomes. 3. Tell the client that this therapy will be impossible to receive. 4. Make arrangements to have the client moved to a long-term care facility. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Driving 80 miles two times a day may not be feasible, but perhaps there are other alternatives that could be considered. Rationale 2: The nurse must consider a variety of factors when assigning priorities, including resources available to the nurse and client. Factors in this case include the distance between the client's home and the hospital and the fact that therapy is ordered on a twice-daily basis. Driving 80 miles two times a day may not be feasible, but perhaps there are other alternatives that could be considered (e.g., a neighbor who might be willing to drive the client, or someone in the area who may be able to assist with the therapy).

Page Number: 195 Question 8 Type: MCSA A discharge goal for a client is to have improved mobility. Which outcome statement did the nurse write appropriately? 1. Client will ambulate without a walker by 6 weeks. 2. Client will ambulate freely in house. 3. Client will not fall. 4. Client will have freer movement in daily activities. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Desired outcomes are the more specific, observable criteria used to evaluate whether the goals have been met. Ambulating without a walker by a certain date is specific as well as measurable. Rationale 2: Desired outcomes are the more specific, observable criteria used to evaluate whether the goals have been met. "Ambulate freely" does not give a time frame; therefore it is not as specific. Rationale 3: Desired outcomes are the more specific, observable criteria used to evaluate whether the goals have been met. Goals stated as "will not fall" are too vague, have no time limit, and do not give the nurse a good set of criteria to evaluate the goal. Rationale 4: Desired outcomes are the more specific, observable criteria used to evaluate whether the goals have been met. Having freer movement in daily activities is too vague.

Page Number: 197 Question 11 Type: MCSA The nurse is caring for a client with Parkinson’s disease who desires to improve fine motor skills. Which statement should the nurse identify as an appropriate collaborative intervention for this client? 1. Provide assistance as needed with dressing and grooming. 2. Provide assistive devices and educate client to use grab bar and large handled utensils. 3. Make sure lighting and space are adequate for client. 4. Administer medications to improve muscle tone. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Providing assistance and attending to the client's space would be independent interventions. Rationale 2: Collaborative interventions are actions the nurse carries out with other health team members, such as physical therapists, social workers, dietitians, and physicians. Collaborative nursing activities reflect the overlapping responsibilities of, and collegial relationships between, health personnel. Providing assistive devices and educating on their proper use would fall into the discipline of physical/occupational therapy, although the nurse will have to assist with reinforcing the teaching and information. Rationale 3: Collaborative interventions are actions the nurse carries out with other health team members, such as physical therapists, social workers, dietitians, and physicians. Collaborative nursing activities reflect the overlapping responsibilities of, and collegial relationships between, health personnel.

Type: MCSA The nurse is reviewing interventions written for a client’s plan of care. Which intervention should the nurse recognize as being dependent? 1. Repositioning the client every 2 hours 2. Assisting the client with transfers to the bathroom 3. Providing ongoing physical assessment, especially of the incisional sites 4. Administering medications for pain Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: This is an example of an independent intervention: those activities that the nurse is licensed to initiate on the basis of knowledge and skills. Rationale 2: This is an example of an independent intervention: those activities that the nurse is licensed to initiate on the basis of knowledge and skills. Rationale 3: This is an example of an independent intervention: those activities that the nurse is licensed to initiate on the basis of knowledge and skills.

Page Number: 201 Question 13 Type: MCSA One of the interventions for a client with a nursing diagnosis of Impaired swallowing is to position the client upright in a chair (60 to 90 degrees) during feeding times. What should the nurse identify as the modifier in this intervention? Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. 60 to 90 degrees during feeding times 2. Position in chair 3. Upright in a chair 4. Impaired swallowing Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Conditions or modifiers may be added to the verb to explain the circumstances under which the behavior is to be performed. They explain what, where, when, or how. In this case, defining "upright" as 60 to 90 degrees and "during feeding times" gives when this should be done. Rationale 2: The word "position" is not descriptive enough for modifiers. Rationale 3: The word ""upright" is not descriptive enough for modifiers. Rationale 4: “Impaired swallowing” is the NANDA label.

Page Number: 198 Question 14 Type: MCSA A nurse is caring for a client who has a diagnosis of Impaired skin integrity, related to immobility, secondary to neurologic dysfunction. Which should the nurse identify as an observation intervention? 1. Turn and reposition client every 2 hours. 2. Cushion bony prominences with soft foam while in bed. 3. Provide ongoing assessment for skin breakdown every shift. 4. Apply lotion to dry skin twice daily. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Prevention interventions prescribe the care needed to avoid complications or reduce risk factors. Turning and repositioning would help prevent any further skin breakdown. Rationale 2: Prevention interventions prescribe the care needed to avoid complications or reduce risk factors. Cushioning bony prominences would help prevent any further skin breakdown. Rationale 3: Observations include assessments made to determine whether a complication is developing as well as observations of the client's responses to nursing and other therapies. Assessment for skin breakdown would fall under this category. Rationale 4: Application of lotion or other treatments to areas of skin impairment would be considered a treatment intervention.

Page Number: 202 Question 15 Type: MCSA The nurse wants to create an intervention to assist a client with ambulation. Which statement is the most appropriate manner for the nurse to write this intervention? 1. Assist client with ambulation. 2. Ambulate with client, using a gait belt, twice daily for 15 minutes. 3. Make sure client understands the rationale for using the gait belt. 4. Client will ambulate in hallway twice daily. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This option lacks some of the required components of a well-written intervention.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: A well-written intervention should include a verb, conditions, and modifiers, plus a time element. Identifying what to do (ambulate), how to do it (with a gait belt), and how long (twice daily for 15 minutes) is the most precise statement. Rationale 3: This option lacks some of the required components of a well-written intervention. Rationale 4: "Client will ambulate in the hallway" is a goal statement, not an intervention.

Help the nurse with documentation of the care plan 2. Require that the nurse use sound judgment and knowledge of the client 3. Match nursing diagnoses to exact interventions 4. Help the nurse choose activities that are individualized to the client Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The NIC taxonomy may or may not help with documentation. Rationale 2: The NIC taxonomy, like NOC, is similar to NANDA diagnoses—broadly stated interventions that are standardized in language and generalized in nature. Each nursing diagnosis contains suggestions for several interventions under the NIC taxonomy, and nurses must select the appropriate interventions based on their judgment and knowledge of the client. Rationale 3: Although it would utilize standard language for all nurses and offer suggestions of interventions for each diagnosis, finding the most appropriate interventions still requires individualization for each client. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Keep client in low-Fowler's position to prevent reflux. 4. Provide frequent assessment for presence of obstructive material in mouth and throat. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: A rationale is the scientific principle given as the reason for selecting a particular nursing intervention. It helps explain "why" an intervention would be implemented. This intervention does not explain “why” it is being done. Rationale 2: A rationale is the scientific principle given as the reason for selecting a particular nursing intervention. It helps explain "why" an intervention would be implemented. This intervention does not explain “why” it is being done. Rationale 3: A rationale is the scientific principle given as the reason for selecting a particular nursing intervention. It helps explain "why" an intervention would be implemented. Keeping the client in a position with the head elevated 30 to 45 degrees helps prevent the risk of reflux (food/liquids returning up through the esophagus after having been swallowed).

Why are these documents important to the nursing staff when providing client care? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. To make sure all clients have the same type of care 2. To ensure that minimally accepted standards of care are met 3. To promote efficient use of the nurse’s time 4. To eliminate care disparities among clients 5. To minimize health care costs Correct Answer: 2, 3 Rationale 1: Although standardized approaches to care planning are common in many health care agencies, ensuring that all clients receive the same type of care is not appropriate, as care must be individualized to meet the client's needs. Rationale 2: Ensuring that minimally accepted standards of care are met is a reason for the actions mentioned in the scenario. Rationale 3: Ensuring that nurses’ time is used efficiently is a reason for the actions mentioned in the scenario. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Rationale 4: Desired outcomes/goals are not used as measuring sticks to limit the use of hospital resources. Rationale 5: Desired outcomes/goals provide direction for planning nursing interventions. Ideas for interventions come more easily if the desired outcomes state clearly and specifically what the nurse and client hope to achieve.

The nurse provides care to clients admitted to a mental health facility who exhibit paranoid behavior. Which skill should the nurse use when caring for these clients? 1. Cognitive 2. Interpersonal 3. Technical 4. Therapeutic Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Cognitive skills are intellectual skills and include problem solving, decision making, critical thinking, and creativity. Rationale 2: Interpersonal skills are all of the activities, verbal and nonverbal, people use when interacting directly with one another. The effectiveness of a nursing action often depends largely on the nurse's ability to communicate with others. Interpersonal skills are necessary for all nursing activities, including comforting, counseling, and supporting—all of which are extremely important in the acute psychiatric setting.

Page Number: 209 Question 5 Type: MCSA Upon entering a room, a client and spouse are found crying. The nurse decides to sit with both of them, offering presence and listening to their fears instead of providing the planned education. What action did the nurse perform? 1. Implementing nursing intervention 2. Determining the nurse's need for assistance Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Supervising delegated care 4. Reassessing the client Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: In this case, the client and the spouse are not in a good frame of mind to listen to or retain any kind of teaching/learning experience and so the planned intervention should not be initiated. Rationale 2: In this situation, the nurse does not need assistance. Rationale 3: This is not a situation where the nurse must supervise care that has been delegated. Rationale 4: Just before implementing an intervention, the nurse must reassess the client to make sure the intervention is still needed or to discover if there are new data that indicate a need to change the priorities of care. In this case, the client and the spouse are not in a good frame of mind to listen to or retain any kind of teaching/learning experience. Instead, the nurse reassesses the situation and implements a more appropriate intervention.

Page Number: 209 Question 6 Type: MCSA The nurse is caring for a new mother and infant. Which action should the nurse take that allows the new parents to feel in control when being taught how to bathe their infant? 1. Telling the parents everything the nurse is doing and why 2. Letting the parents watch a video after the bath 3. Letting the parents bathe the baby with direction and guidance from the nurse 4. Giving lots of advice and suggestions about different methods Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Explaining is helpful, but does not provide the clients with a sense of independence and control in the situation. Rationale 2: Active participation enhances a client's sense of independence and control. In this situation, the baby and parents will do best with future bathing times if they are allowed to complete the bath themselves. Watching a video is helpful, but does not provide the clients with a sense of independence and control in the situation.

Which guideline of implementing interventions is the nurse using? 1. Adapt activities to the individual client. 2. Encourage clients to participate actively in implementing nursing interventions. 3. Base nursing interventions on scientific knowledge, research, and standards of care. 4. Implement safe care. Correct Answer: 4 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Adapting activities would involve understanding the client's beliefs, values, age, health status, and environment as factors that can affect the success of a nursing action. Rationale 2: Encouraging clients to participate enhances their sense of independence and control. Rationale 3: The nurse must be aware of the scientific rationale for, as well as possible side effects or complications of, all interventions so that implementation centers on specific knowledge and care standards.

What action should the nurse take? 1. Ask the nurse mentor to assist with the teaching after reviewing the procedure. 2. Read the policy and procedure manual before the teaching session. 3. Do the best the nurse can by remembering what was taught in nursing school. 4. Ask for a different assignment until the nurse feels comfortable with this one. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: When implementing some nursing interventions, the nurse may require assistance. In this case, the nurse lacks the knowledge or skills to implement a particular nursing activity (teaching). Rationale 2: Reading and reviewing the policy and procedure are important, but should be followed up with asking for assistance. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Ask the client about this medication. 4. Call the physician and ask what the medication is and what it is for. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Following the physician's order is important, but the nurse is still responsible to know and understand the medication, its action, and its adverse actions as well as its interactions with other medications. Rationale 2: The nurse should clearly understand all nursing interventions to be implemented and question any that are not understood. The nurse is responsible for intelligent implementation of medical and surgical plans of care. The pharmacist would be the most appropriate reference point for this nurse to begin to research this problem. Rationale 3: The client should be informed about the medications and treatments, but the nurse does not utilize the client for scientific knowledge and professional standards of care.

Telling the other staff that the client is demanding, so they are able to meet the client's needs 4. Presenting information to the client's family about the client's condition Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Respecting the dignity of each client enhances their self-esteem and is an important aspect of implementing interventions. Providing privacy and allowing clients to make their own decisions, or do their own care when possible, is a way of respecting dignity and increasing self-esteem. Rationale 2: It is not necessary, nor appropriate, to provide all care at all times. Rationale 3: Telling peers and other staff members that a client is demanding is the nurse's opinion and should not be part of the reporting process.

Evaluation is completed at the end of the process. 3. They are the same and there is no need to differentiate. 4. The difference is in how the data are used. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Although assessment is the first phase of the nursing process, it is carried out during all phases. Rationale 2: Evaluation is carried out at the end of the process; however, this is not the major difference between assessment and evaluation. Rationale 3: Although the two processes overlap, there is a difference between the data collected. Rationale 4: Although the two processes overlap, there is a difference between the data collected.

"I'm getting really sleepy from that medication. I think I'll take a nap." 2. "My pain is a 4." 3. "I still have some pain." 4. "Will the pain ever go away?" Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This option does not address the client’s pain level. Rationale 2: The nurse collects data so that conclusions can be drawn about whether goals have been met. If the goal is clearly stated, precise, and measurable, it will be easy to evaluate. If the goal was a pain level of 3, the client should be able to give a numerical rating to the pain in order for the nurse to evaluate it. Rationale 3: This option does not clearly define the level of the client’s pain, so evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment is not possible.

Question 14 Type: MCSA A client has the goal statement “Client will be able to state two positive aspects of rehab therapy by the end of the week.” What statement demonstrates that the nurse appropriately evaluated this goal? 1. Goal not met, client able to state one positive aspect by the end of the week. 2. Goal met, client able to state one positive aspect by the end of the week. 3. Goal met, client able to state two positive aspects of therapy by week's end. 4. Goal incomplete, client not able to positively state anything about rehab. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: If the client can only state one aspect or it takes longer than a week, then the goal could be partially met. Rationale 2: If the client can only state one aspect or it takes longer than a week, then the goal could be partially met. Rationale 3: An evaluation statement consists of two parts: a conclusion and supporting data. The conclusion is a statement that the goal/desired outcome was met, partially met, or not met. The supporting data are the list of the client responses that support the conclusion. In this situation, the goal was met if the client was able to state two positive aspects of rehab by the end of the week, and the evaluation statement should reveal that.

A client has the goal statement “Client will have clear lung sounds bilaterally within 3 days.” One intervention to meet this goal is for the nurse to teach the client to cough and deep breathe and have the client do this several times every 2 hours. At the end of the third day, the client's lungs are indeed clear. What should the nurse do to relate the intervention to the outcome? 1. Ask how many times per day the client practiced the coughing and deep breathing exercises. 2. Tell the client that the lungs are clear. 3. Document the assessment findings to show the effectiveness of the intervention. 4. Write this evaluation statement: Goal met, lung sounds clear by third day. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Part of the evaluating process is determining whether the nursing activities had any relation to the outcomes. Did the lungs clear because the client actually did the coughing and deep breathing? In order to know for sure, the nurse must collect more data and not assume that this particular nursing intervention had any relation to the outcome. Rationale 2: Telling the client that his or her lungs are clear is not relating the intervention to the outcome because no mention of the intervention is made.

the client's symptoms would be eliminated within 48 hours. The client is being seen after a week, and has had no diarrhea or vomiting for the past 5 days. What should the nurse do? 1. Keep the problem on the care plan, in case the symptoms return. 2. Document that the problem has been resolved and discontinue the care for the problem. 3. Assume that whatever the cause was, the symptoms may return, but document that the goal was met. 4. Document that the potential problem is being prevented because the symptoms have stopped. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: In this case, the risk factors no longer exist because the causative factors have stopped. The nurse should document that the goal has been met and discontinue the care for the problem. If the problem returns, it can be implemented again and addressed at that time. Rationale 2: In this case, the risk factors no longer exist because the causative factors have stopped. The nurse should document that the goal has been met and discontinue the care for the problem. If the problem returns, it can be implemented again and addressed at that time. Rationale 3: In this case, the risk factors no longer exist because the causative factors have stopped.

A client with terminal cancer has this nursing diagnosis: Pain related to neuromuscular involvement of disease process. The goal statement is as follows: Client will be free of pain within 48 hours. As an intervention, the nurse will administer narcotic analgesics and titrate to an appropriate level. What is the flaw in this plan? 1. The goal statement is written inaccurately. 2. The interventions are dependent of nursing. 3. The goal is unrealistic. 4. The interventions are not clear enough. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The goal statement is written accurately and is inclusive of all required components. Rationale 2: Dependent interventions would be appropriate in this situation. Rationale 3: When a care plan needs to be modified, discontinued, or changed in some manner, several decisions need to be made. If the nursing diagnosis is accurate, as it is in this case, the nurse should check to see if the goals are attainable and realistic—the flaw in this plan.

Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Perhaps this diagnosis is appropriate for this client, but there are not enough data presented to know that for sure. Rationale 2: Once data are complete, the diagnosis and information need to be directly related to each other. Rationale 3: Once data are complete, the diagnosis and information need to be relevant to each other. Rationale 4: An incomplete database influences all steps of the nursing process and care plan. The nurse must complete the assessment before formulating a diagnosis about weakness and fatigue. Perhaps this diagnosis is appropriate for this client, but there are not enough data presented to know that for sure.

Page Number: 213 Question 19 Type: MCSA A client has neurologic deficits that are causing tremors, unsteadiness, and weakness. An appropriate diagnosis of Risk for Falls related to unsteady gait, secondary to neurologic dysfunction has been formulated. A goal for this client is not to sustain any injuries for the next month; however, the client has fallen several times. In this situation, what should the nurse do? 1. Review the data and make sure that the diagnosis is relevant. 2. Investigate whether the best nursing interventions were selected. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Modify the whole nursing plan. 4. Discard the nursing plan and start over from the assessment phase. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The data presented are relevant for the diagnosis selected in this case. Rationale 2: Even if all sections of the care plan appear to be satisfactory, the manner in which the plan was implemented may have interfered with goal achievement. The nurse needs to check and see if the interventions were appropriate for the client. If the interventions selected did not help the client achieve the goal, then rearranging or implementing new ones may be necessary. Rationale 3: The data presented are relevant for the diagnosis selected in this case, and it is not necessary to modify the whole plan. Rationale 4: The data presented are relevant for the diagnosis selected in this case, and it is not necessary to discard the whole plan and start over.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 15 Question 1 Type: MCSA A client who is being transferred to a rehabilitation center asks the nurse if he can take his chart with him, as it's his record. How should the nurse respond to this client’s request? 1. "You'll have to ask your doctor for permission to do that." 2. "Actually, the original record is the property of the hospital, but you are welcome to copies of your records." 3. "We'll make sure that all of your records are sent ahead to the rehab hospital, so you don't really have to worry about those details." 4. "There's a new law that protects your records, so you're not going to be able to have access to them." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The doctor’s permission is not a requirement for the release of a client’s medical record. Rationale 2: Although the client's record is protected legally as private, access to the record is restricted to health professionals involved in the client's care. The institution or agency is the rightful owner of the client's record, but the client has the right to access all information contained within his own record and to have a copy of the original record. The hospital has the right to charge a fee for the copying costs. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a law enacted to protect health information and maintain confidentiality of client records. Rationale 3: The client does have a legal right concerning his medical record, so this option doesn’t adequately address the question.

Page Number: 221 Question 2 Type: MCSA After classroom discussion regarding confidentiality policies and laws protecting client records, a student asks why it's permissible for them to review and have access to client records in the clinical area. How should the nursing instructor respond? 1. "Confidentiality and privacy laws don't apply to students." 2. "Most students review so many records and charts that they could not possibly remember details from any one of them." 3. "Records are used in educational settings and for learning purposes, but the student is bound to hold all information in strict confidence." 4. "As long as the clinical instructor is in the area, accessing client records is part of the education process." Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: This option is not correct; the laws do apply to students. Rationale 2: Although this may or may not be a true statement, it is not an appropriate response to the student’s question. Rationale 3: For purposes of education and research, most agencies allow students and graduate health professionals access to client records. The student or graduate is bound by a strict ethical code and legal responsibility to hold all information in confidence. It is the responsibility of the student or health professional to protect the client's privacy by not using a name or any statements in the notations that would identify the client.

Examine the impact the legal aspects of nursing have on practice. Page Number: 222 Question 4 Type: MCSA A hospital is not able to be reimbursed for care a particular client received while in the emergency department. The client came in with chest pain, which was later diagnosed as gastric reflux. Which problem with documentation might have caused the lack of reimbursement? 1. The client's record contained an incorrect DRG. 2. The client was charged for an ECG. 3. A code cart was opened and the client was charged for medications opened but not used. 4. The physician made a diagnostic mistake. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Documentation helps a facility receive reimbursement from the federal government. The client's clinical record must contain the correct diagnosis-related group (DRG) codes and reveal that the appropriate care has been given. Coded diagnoses, such as DRGs, are supported by accurate, thorough recording by nurses. Rationale 2: This would not necessarily result in the problem related to reimbursement because it is a reasonable diagnostic test to perform in this situation.

Question 5 Type: MCSA When attempting to locate recent lab results, the new nurse employee notices that each department has a separate section in the client’s chart. Which type of documentation system is the nurse using? 1. Source-oriented record 2. Problem-oriented record 3. Case management 4. Focus charting Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The traditional client record is a source-oriented record in which each person or department makes notations in a separate section or sections of the client's chart. Rationale 2: In the problem-oriented medical record, the data are arranged according to the problems the client has rather than the source of the information. Rationale 3: Case management uses a multidisciplinary approach to documenting client care, called critical pathways. Rationale 4: Focus charting is intended to make the client and client concerns the focus of care, utilizing a threecolumn format.

If utilizing SOAP format, in which category should the nurse document this statement? 1. Subjective data 2. Objective data 3. Assessment 4. Planning Correct Answer: 1 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Subjective data consist of information obtained from what the client says. When possible, the nurse quotes the client's words; otherwise, they are summarized. Rationale 2: Objective data consist of information that is measured or observed. Rationale 3: Assessment is the interpretation or conclusion drawn about the subjective and objective data. This is the area where the problems are documented initially. Then the client's condition and level of progress are subsequently described.

Page Number: 226 Question 11 Type: MCSA The nurse is documenting client care on flow sheets that identify abnormal assessment findings. Which type of documentation system is the nurse using? 1. Computerized documentation 2. Focus charting 3. SOAP charting 4. Charting by exception Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Computerized documentation is a way to manage the volume of information required in a client's chart, and different systems may include a variety of setups and programs. Rationale 2: Focus charting is organized into data, action, and response sections, referred to as DAR.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: SOAP charting is a way to organize data and information in the client's record: S = subjective data; O = objective data; A = assessment; P = plan. Rationale 4: Charting by exception (CBE) is a documentation system in which only abnormal or significant findings or exceptions to norms are recorded. Flow sheets, standards of nursing care, and bedside access to chart forms are all incorporated into CBE.

Page Number: 227 Question 12 Type: MCSA The nurse working in a hospital that utilizes a charting by exception (CBE) documentation system notes that a client did not require care in all of the areas identified on a flow sheet. What action should the nurse take? 1. Leave the areas blank. 2. Leave the areas blank, but then add an extensive explanation in the progress notes section of the chart. 3. Write N/A on the flow sheet in the areas that are not applicable to that client. 4. Make sure this information gets passed along in the shift report. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: It is never a good idea to leave blanks in any charting area because it implies that the area was ignored. Rationale 2: It is never a good idea to leave blanks in any charting area. Adding the information in the progress notes is not an appropriate use of that section.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Many nurses are uncomfortable with the CBE system and believe that if something was not charted, it was not done. A suggestion to address this would be to write N/A on the flow sheets where the items are not applicable to the client, and not leave the spaces blank. This would avoid the possible assumption that the assessment or intervention was not done by the nurse. Rationale 4: Passing information along in the report is a good way to ensure continuity of care for clients, but this would only be an oral report, not written documentation.

Page Number: 227 Question 13 Type: MCSA A client did not meet the goal of walking unassisted, without assistive devices, by discharge from rehabilitation. The case manager using a critical pathway should identify this outcome as being which of the following? 1. An unattainable goal 2. A variance 3. An error in care planning 4. An error in intervention implementation Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Critical pathways are a multidisciplinary approach to planning and documenting client care. Flow sheets, as well as some types of charting by exception, are utilized in critical pathways. When a goal is not reached, it is not referred to as an unattainable goal because a change in the client’s care plan may result in success. Rationale 2: Critical pathways are a multidisciplinary approach to planning and documenting client care. Flow sheets, as well as some types of charting by exception, are utilized in critical pathways. When a goal is not Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


reached, it is called a variance. Variances are deviations to what is planned in the critical pathway—unexpected occurrences that affect the planned care or the client's response to care. Rationale 3: Critical pathways are a multidisciplinary approach to planning and documenting client care. Flow sheets, as well as some types of charting by exception, are utilized in critical pathways. When a goal is not reached, it is not referred to as an error in care planning because the success of a goal is dependent on specific interventions and individual client response. Rationale 4: Critical pathways are a multidisciplinary approach to planning and documenting client care. Flow sheets, as well as some types of charting by exception, are utilized in critical pathways. When a goal is not reached, it is not referred to as an error in implementation because the success of a goal is not solely dependent on the implementation of a single intervention.

Page Number: 230 Question 14 Type: MCSA A cardiac specialty hospital has several written plans in place for clients who are admitted, according to specific medical diagnoses and nursing interventions. Typical nursing diagnoses as well as standard nursing interventions are included in these plans. Which type of form is this hospital utilizing? 1. Standardized care plans 2. Traditional care plans 3. Critical pathways 4. Kardex Correct Answer: 1

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Standardized care plans were developed to save documentation time. These plans may be based on an institution's standards of practice, thereby helping to provide a high quality of nursing care. Standardized care plans are usually individualized to address each client's specific needs. Rationale 2: Traditional care plans are written for each client, are specific, and are individualized for that client. Rationale 3: Critical pathways are used in case management, involving a multidisciplinary approach to planning and documenting client care.

Page Number: 231 Question 15 Type: MCSA Before providing care, the nurse reviews the client's pertinent history, daily treatments, diagnostic procedures, allergies, problems, and other information. Which form should the nurse review to learn all of this information? 1. The client's medical record 2. The MAR (medication administration record) 3. The written care plan 4. The Kardex Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The medical record contains this type of information, but the complete chart is lengthy and would take the student more time to review. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: The MAR includes only those medications that are prescribed or scheduled to be administered during the client's stay. It would not include other information like diagnostic tests, daily care, and so on. Rationale 3: The written care plan may be utilized, but there is another more effective option available. Rationale 4: The Kardex is a concise method of organizing and recording data about a client, making information quickly accessible to all health professionals. The system is on either an index-type file or a computer-generated form. Information is usually organized into sections: client history/information, list of medications, IV fluids, daily treatments and procedures, diagnostic procedures, allergies, how the client's physical needs are met (type of diet, bathing needs, etc.), and a problem list with stated goals.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 16 Question 1 Type: MCSA The nurse is providing care within the total care context. What should the nurse consider when using this care approach? 1. The individualism of the client 2. Principles applicable to the client at this moment 3. Principles general to all clients of the same age and condition 4. The person’s self-identity Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: In the individualized care context, the nurse becomes acquainted with the client as an individual, referring to the total care principles and using those principles that apply to this person at this time. Rationale 2: In the individualized care context, the nurse becomes acquainted with the client as an individual, referring to the total care principles and using those principles that apply to this person at this time. Rationale 3: In the total care context, the nurse considers all the principles and areas that apply when taking care of any client of that age and condition. Rationale 4: The person’s self-identity is part of the individual health dimension of any one client. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Applying Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Client Need Sub: QSEN Competencies: I.A. 1. Integrate understanding of multiple dimensions of patient centered care AACN Essentials Competencies: IX. 3.

The nurse is practicing the concept of holism with a client. Which action is the nurse most likely making? 1. Considering how the loss of a client's job will affect the regulation of the client's diabetes 2. Making sure to do complete teaching regarding pharmacological interventions 3. Following physician treatments on schedule 4. Prioritizing the needs of the client assigned according to Maslow's hierarchy Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The concept of holism emphasizes that nurses must keep the whole person in mind and strives to understand how one area of concern relates to the whole person. In this situation, the stress from a job loss will affect the person’s chronic condition. The nurse must also consider the relationship of the individual to the external environment and to others. Rationale 2: This option is only focused on the physiology of the person’s condition. Rationale 3: This option is only focused on the physiology of the person’s condition.

Page Number: 244 Question 3 Type: MCSA Psychologic homeostasis is maintained by a variety of mechanisms. Which client should the nurse identify as being the most likely candidate to obtain psychologic homeostasis? 1. A child who is used to getting ready for school alone 2. A teenager whose circle of friends includes single parents of the same age Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. An elderly person who has just moved to a long-term care facility 4. A young adult who is in a long-term relationship Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Psychologic homeostasis is acquired or learned through the experience of living and interacting with others. Individuals can develop psychologic homeostasis if they are in a stable physical environment where they feel safe and secure. A child who is alone while getting ready for school may not feel safe and secure. Rationale 2: Individuals also need a stable psychologic environment from infancy onward so that feelings of love and trust develop, a social environment that includes adults who are healthy role models, and a life experience that provides satisfaction. Having friends of the same age who are parents may eliminate healthy adult role models for the teenager. Rationale 3: Individuals also need a stable psychologic environment from infancy onward so that feelings of love and trust develop, a social environment that includes adults who are healthy role models, and a life experience that provides satisfaction. Moving into a long-term care facility can be a huge adjustment for some people, which may affect feelings of safety and security. Rationale 4: Individuals also need a stable psychologic environment from infancy onward so that feelings of love and trust develop, a social environment that includes adults who are healthy role models, and a life experience that provides satisfaction. A young adult who has a relationship that lasts is the one option that would fit most of these mechanisms.

Page Number: 246 Question 4 Type: MCSA A client is having difficulty with feelings of self-loathing and disgust after being attacked and raped. According to Maslow’s human needs theory, at which level should the nurse recognize that the client is struggling? 1. Physiological Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. Safety and security 3. Love and belonging 4. Self-esteem Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Physiological needs include air, food, water, rest, and sleep. Rationale 2: Safety and security needs are those things, both psychological and physiological, that help the person feel safe. Rationale 3: Love and belonging needs include giving and receiving affection, attaining a place in a group, and maintaining the feeling of belonging. Rationale 4: Self-esteem and esteem from others includes feelings of independence, competence, self-respect, recognition, respect, and appreciation. Self-hatred and disgust is opposite of what one would expect in the selfesteem level of Maslow’s model. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Analyzing Client Need: Psychosocial Integrity Client Need Sub: QSEN Competencies: I.A. 1. Integrate understanding of multiple dimensions of patient centered care AACN Essentials Competencies: IX. 1.

Page Number: 247 Question 5 Type: MCSA A client is hospitalized with numerous acute health problems. According to Maslow’s basic needs model, which nursing diagnosis should the nurse identify as being the highest priority for this client? 1. Risk for Injury related to unsteady gait 2. Altered Nutrition, Less Than Body Requirements related to inability to absorb nutrients 3. Self-Care Deficit related to weakness and debilitation 4. Powerlessness related to chronic disease state Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Risk for Injury would be the lower-priority need. Rationale 2: In needs theories, human needs are ranked on an ascending scale according to how essential the needs are for survival. Physiologic needs are those such as air, food, water, shelter, rest, sleep, activity, and temperature maintenance, which are all crucial for survival. Nutritional deficits would fall into this level and take priority over the others listed. Rationale 3: Self-Care Deficit would fall in the fourth level—self-esteem needs. Rationale 4: Powerlessness is part of the need to develop one’s maximum potential. It falls into the fifth and highest level of self-actualization.

Page Number: 247 Question 6 Type: MCSA The nurse is using Kalish’s adaptation of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs when planning client care. Which client should the nurse identify as exhibiting a level of Kalish’s adaptation? 1. Has a homosexual encounter for the first time 2. Has a need to participate in school sports and be “on the team” 3. Strives to become the CEO of a company 4. Is sleep deprived because of musculoskeletal discomfort Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Richard Kalish added a sixth level to Maslow’s five levels and referred to it as stimulation needs. This level includes sexual activity, exploration, manipulation, and novelty. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: A client who “wants to be on the team” is exhibiting characteristics of love and belonging needs; mentioned in Maslow’s original five-level hierarchy. Rationale 3: Striving to be in charge of a company is part of self-actualization, mentioned in Maslow’s original five-level hierarchy.

Page Number: 247 Question 7 Type: MCSA A nurse is delivering a workshop regarding health promotion to a group of elderly clients. In describing Healthy People 2010, which goal should the nurse emphasize for this group? 1. Eliminating health disparities 2. Believing that individual health is closely related to community health 3. Increasing quality and years of life 4. Developing partnerships between individual and community health Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The second goal of Healthy People 2010 is to eliminate health disparities, which reflects the diversity of the entire population, not just the elderly. Rationale 2: The foundation for this document is the belief that individual health is closely linked to community health, and the reverse, but this applies to the entire population, not just the elderly. Rationale 3: Healthy People 2010 has four main goals. The first is to increase quality and years of healthy life, which applies to the clients who will be the focus of this workshop. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 4: The foundation for this document is the belief that individual health is closely linked to community health, and the reverse. In order to bring this about, partnerships are important to improve the health of individuals and communities, but this applies to the entire population, not just the elderly.

This client is modeling which behavior? 1. Health promotion 2. Health protection 3. Tertiary prevention 4. Primary prevention Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Health promotion is behavior motivated by the desire to increase well-being and actualize human health potential. Rationale 2: Health protection or illness prevention is “behavior motivated by a desire to actively avoid illness, detect it early, or maintain functioning within the constraints of illness.” Expressing a desire to quit smoking would be modeling this behavior. The information we are given does not tell us if the client has pathology or not, but the client certainly has been exposed to a health hazard. Rationale 3: Tertiary prevention focuses on restoration and rehabilitation—it is not a behavior. Rationale 4: Primary prevention focuses on health promotion—it is not a behavior.

The client has tried exercise in the past with success, but has not been participating in a program for some time. In order to assess the potential for success with this client, the nurse should evaluate which of the behavior-specific cognitions? 1. Interpersonal influences 2. Perceived benefits of action 3. Situational influences 4. Perceived self-efficacy Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Interpersonal influences are a person’s perceptions concerning the behaviors, beliefs, or attitudes of others—including family, peers, and health professionals—who can influence their success. Rationale 2: Behavior-specific cognitions and affect are considered to be of major motivational significance for acquiring and maintaining health-promoting behaviors. Perceived benefits of action affect the person’s plan to participate in health-promoting behaviors and may facilitate continued practice. If this client has prior positive experience with the behavior or observations of others engaged in the behavior, he or she may be motivated to success. Rationale 3: Situational influences are direct and indirect influences on health-promoting behaviors and include perceptions of options, demand characteristics, and the aesthetic features of the environment.

On which behaviorspecific cognitions should the nurse focus to assist this client with success in the rehabilitation program? 1. Situational influences 2. Perceived benefits of action 3. Perceived barriers to action 4. Interpersonal influences Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Situational influences are direct and indirect influences on health-promoting behaviors and include perceptions of available options, demand characteristics, and the aesthetic features of the environment. Rationale 2: Perceived benefits of action affect the person’s plan to participate in health-promoting behaviors and may facilitate continued practice. Rationale 3: Perceived barriers to action may be real or imagined and may affect health-promoting behaviors by decreasing the individual’s commitment to a plan of action. Rationale 4: Interpersonal influences are a person’s perceptions concerning the behaviors, beliefs, or attitudes of others. Family, peers, and health professionals are sources of interpersonal influences that can affect a person’s health-promoting behaviors.

In providing teaching, the nurse stresses the importance of using the peak flow meter every morning to help determine changes in respiratory status. The nurse is stressing which health promotion behavior? 1. Competing preferences 2. Competing demands 3. Situational influences 4. Interpersonal influences Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Competing preferences are behaviors over which an individual has a high level of control and depend on the individual’s ability to be self-regulating. In this case, the individual must make a choice to use his peak flow meter every day. It’s really his choice—either he uses it or he doesn’t. Rationale 2: Competing demands are behaviors over which an individual has a low level of control; something unexpected competes with a planned activity.

Page Number: 252 Question 13 Type: SEQ Before helping a client with smoking cessation, the nurse reviews the steps of the change process. In which order should the nurse expect the client to progress through the stages of health change behavior? Arrange the following stages in the correct order: Standard Text: Click and drag the options below to move them up or down. Choice 1. Preparation stage Choice 2. Contemplation stage Choice 3. Maintenance stage Choice 4. Precontemplation stage Choice 5. Termination stage Choice 6. Action Stage Correct Answer: 4, 2, 1, 6, 3, 5 Rationale 1: This is the third stage, where the client intends to take action in the immediate future (e.g., within the next month). Some people in this stage may have already started making small behavioral changes, such as buying a self-help book. At this stage, the person makes the final specific plans to accomplish the change. Rationale 2: This is the second stage, where the client acknowledges having a problem, seriously considers changing a specific behavior, actively gathers information, and verbalizes plans to change the behavior in the near future (e.g., next 6 months). Rationale 3: This is the fifth stage, where the client strives to prevent relapse by integrating newly adopted behaviors into his or her lifestyle. This stage lasts until the person no longer experiences temptation to return to previous unhealthy behaviors. It is estimated that maintenance lasts from 6 months to 5 years. Rationale 4: This is the first stage, where the client is not contemplating change for at least 6 months. Rationale 5: This is the sixth and last stage (the ultimate goal), where the individual has complete confidence that the problem is no longer a temptation or threat. It is as if the individual never acquired the habit in the first place or the new behavior has become automatic. Rationale 6: This is the fourth stage, where the client actively implements behavioral and cognitive strategies of the action plan to interrupt previous health risk behaviors and adopt new ones. This stage requires the greatest commitment of time and energy. Global Rationale: Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Rationale 2: The preparation stage occurs when the person undertakes cognitive and behavioral activities that prepare the person for change. Rationale 3: During the contemplation stage, the person acknowledges the problem, considers changing a specific behavior, actively gathers information, and verbalizes plans to change the behavior in the near future. Discussing benefits of a study group would fall into this stage. They haven’t started a group nor have they made any preparation toward it; they have merely been talking about it. Rationale 4: The action stage occurs when the person actively implements behavioral and cognitive strategies to interrupt previous behavior patterns and adopt new ones.

Clinical Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The role performance model defines health in terms of the individual's ability to fulfill societal roles or to perform work. According to this model, people who fulfill their roles are healthy, even though they may have an illness. Rationale 2: In the adaptive model, health is a creative process; disease is a failure in adaptation or maladaptation. The aim of treatment is to restore the ability of the person to adapt and cope, as in a rehabilitation setting. Rationale 3: The eudemonistic model incorporates a comprehensive view of health, which is seen as a condition of actualization or realization of a person's potential. Rationale 4: The clinical model is a narrow interpretation of health, which is defined by the absence of disease.

The nurse is basing the assessment on which model of health? 1. Role performance Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. Eudemonistic 3. Ecological 4. Adaptive Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The role performance model defines health according to how individuals are able to fulfill their roles or perform their work. Rationale 2: The eudemonistic model incorporates a comprehensive view of health, which is seen as a condition of actualization or realization of a person's potential. Rationale 3: The ecological model—also called the agent-host-environment model of health and illness—is used primarily in predicting illness rather than promoting wellness. Identification of risk factors results from interactions between agent, host, and environment, and is helpful in promoting and maintaining health. Rationale 4: The adaptive model defines health as a creative process and disease as a maladaptation. The aim of treatment is restoration of the person's ability to cope.

Page Number: 264 Question 6 Type: MCSA A nurse is assessing a client who practices yoga for relaxation, is following a nutritionally sound diet, and has supportive, sound relationships with her spouse and children. According to Dunn's high-level wellness grid, this client would exemplify which health characteristic? 1. Emergent high-level wellness in a favorable environment 2. Emergent high-level wellness in an unfavorable environment 3. Protected health in a favorable environment Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. High-level wellness in a favorable environment Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Dunn describes a health grid in which a health axis and an environmental axis intersect. The intersection of the two axes forms four quadrants of health and wellness. Emergent high-level wellness in a favorable environment is not part of Dunn's four quadrants of health and wellness. Rationale 2: Dunn describes a health grid in which a health axis and an environmental axis intersect. The intersection of the two axes forms four quadrants of health and wellness. Emergent high-level wellness in an unfavorable environment would be exemplified by a client who has the knowledge to implement healthy lifestyles, but does not implement them because of family responsibilities, job demands, or other factors. Rationale 3: Dunn describes a health grid in which a health axis and an environmental axis intersect. The intersection of the two axes forms four quadrants of health and wellness. Protected health in a favorable environment is not part of Dunn's four quadrants of health and wellness. Rationale 4: Dunn describes a health grid in which a health axis and an environmental axis intersect. The intersection of the two axes forms four quadrants of health and wellness. High-level wellness in a favorable environment involves biopsychosocial, spiritual, and economic resources that support healthy lifestyles.

Page Number: 265 Question 7 Type: MCSA A nurse has volunteered to go on a health mission to rural Haiti, where the majority of the people do not have access to health care and live in poverty. According to Dunn's high-level wellness grid, the nurse will be working with clients in which quadrant? 1. Emergent high-level wellness in an unfavorable environment 2. Protected poor health in a favorable environment 3. Poor health in an unfavorable environment Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. Protected poor health in an unfavorable environment Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: According to Dunn's grid, the health axis extends from peak wellness to death, and the environmental axis extends from very favorable to very unfavorable. Emergent high-level wellness in an unfavorable environment would include clients who have the knowledge to implement healthy lifestyle practices, but cannot implement them because of other factors or demands. Rationale 2: According to Dunn's grid, the health axis extends from peak wellness to death, and the environmental axis extends from very favorable to very unfavorable. Protected poor health in a favorable environment is where clients have an illness but their needs are met by the health care system. These clients have adequate access to appropriate medications, diet, and health care instruction. Rationale 3: According to Dunn's grid, the health axis extends from peak wellness to death, and the environmental axis extends from very favorable to very unfavorable. A health mission to an environment such as rural Haiti would involve clients who are not being treated for problems because of poor access and who also live in poor environmental conditions such as poverty and below-standard sanitation. Rationale 4: According to Dunn's grid, the health axis extends from peak wellness to death, and the environmental axis extends from very favorable to very unfavorable. Protected poor health in an unfavorable environment is not one of Dunn's quadrants.

An employee who is in a middle-management position and takes stress from administration as well as the employees Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. An employee who works in the janitorial department 3. An employee who works 12-hour days, 3 days a week 4. An employee who works 4 days on and 3 days off Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: People who hold management positions are in stressful occupational roles that predispose them to stress-related diseases. Rationale 2: Working as a custodian would not pose the same type of stress as the management position.

Page Number: 267 Question 10 Type: MCSA A community health nurse is testing the theory of locus of control (LOC). Which client demonstrates the internal control concept of this theory? 1. A client who takes an active role in all health decisions 2. A client who allows the primary care provider to make all the decisions 3. A client who does not make any decisions without his or her spouse's input 4. A client who relies on information from the local hospital for his or her health needs Correct Answer: 1 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Locus of control (LOC) is a concept from social learning theory. People who exercise internal control are more likely than others to take the initiative on their own health care and to be more knowledgeable about their health. They are also more likely to adhere to prescribed health care regimens such as taking medication, making and keeping appointments with physicians, maintaining diets, and giving up smoking. Rationale 2: People who believe their health is largely controlled by outside forces (chance or others) are referred to as externals. Rationale 3: People who believe their health is largely controlled by outside forces (chance or others) are referred to as externals.

The therapy will require no lifestyle changes of the client. 3. The client has not had difficulty understanding the regimen. 4. The client's culture is supportive of Western medicine. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Adherence to a particular therapy can be compromised if the therapy is expensive or if the duration of the proposed therapy is long. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Adherence is the extent to which an individual’s behavior coincides with medical or health advice. If no lifestyle changes are expected, then adherence should not be an issue. Rationale 3: Adherence is the extent to which an individual’s behavior coincides with medical or health advice. If the client understands the regimen, adherence is not an issue.

The nurse manager is concerned that a staff nurse provides client care with a cultural prejudice. Which situation did the manager observe to come to this conclusion? 1. Making an assumption that all members of each culture are alike 2. Believing that all culture members will have the same beliefs 3. Bringing previous negative information and experiences into this situation 4. Taking general knowledge from literature and applying it to the situation Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Making an assumption that all members of each culture are alike describes stereotypical behavior. Rationale 2: Believing that all culture members have the same beliefs describes stereotypical behavior. Rationale 3: Prejudice is a negative belief or preference that is generalized about a group, which leads to "prejudgment." Prejudice occurs when the person making the judgment generalizes an experience of one individual from a culture to all members of that group.

The nurse suspects that this client views health from which type of belief? 1. Magico-religious belief 2. Holistic health belief 3. Biomedical health belief 4. Folk medicine Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: In the magico-religious health belief view, health and illness are controlled by supernatural forces. The client may believe that illness is the result of "being bad" or opposing God's will. Rationale 2: The holistic health belief holds that the forces of nature must be maintained in balance or harmony. Human life is one aspect of nature that must be in harmony with the rest of nature. Rationale 3: Biomedical health belief, also termed scientific belief, is based on the belief that life and life processes are controlled by physical and biochemical processes that can be manipulated by humans.

Which food should the nurse offer the client? 1. Hot tea 2. Warm soup 3. Spicy meat 4. Cold liquids Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: In this case, the fever would be considered a "hot" illness and the client is not likely to select this treatment. Rationale 2: In this case, the fever would be considered a "hot" illness and the client is not likely to select this treatment. Rationale 3: In this case, the fever would be considered a "hot" illness and the client is not likely to select this treatment. Rationale 4: The concept of yin and yang in the Chinese culture is an example of a holistic health belief. A Chinese client who has a yang illness, or a "hot" illness, may prefer a yin or "cold" treatment. In this case, the fever would be considered a "hot" illness and the client may prefer the opposite or yin treatment. Global Rationale: Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Page Number: 282 Question 11 Type: MCSA A community health nurse works with a variety of cultures providing health care services that include preventive care, acute treatment, and education. Of the following clients, which is most likely to use folk medicine? 1. The client who speaks little English and does not have a job 2. A family who has numerous relatives in a Spanish-American sector of the city 3. A female client whose culture is one of male dominance 4. A Chinese client who has a small, family-run business in the area Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Folk medicine is defined as beliefs and practices that relate illness prevention and healing to cultural traditions rather than modern medicine's scientific base. People who have limited access to scientific health care may turn to folk medicine or folk healing. Because folk healing is more culturally based, it may be more comfortable and less frightening for the client who is not fluent in the English language and has limited access to scientific health care. Rationale 2: There is no evidence to suggest that this family would prefer to use folk medicine. Rationale 3: There is no evidence to suggest that this client would prefer to use folk medicine.

Page Number: 282 Question 12 Type: MCSA A female client is being discharged after a lengthy hospitalization. The family is from a male-dominated culture. Before discharge instructions are given, which action should the nurse take? 1. Make sure instructions are understood by the client. 2. Arrange for teaching when the spouse is available. 3. Make sure that the physician gives the instructions. 4. Ask the client when the best time for teaching would be. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Regardless of cultural considerations, it's always necessary to make sure that the instructions are understood. Rationale 2: The nurse needs to identify who has the "authority" to make decisions in a client's family. If the decision maker is someone other than the client, as in this situation, the nurse needs to include that person in health care discussions. In this situation, we do not know if the nurse is male or female, so the best answer given with the information that is known is to arrange for teaching when the spouse is available.

Page Number: 283 Question 13 Type: MCSA A newly immigrated client is constantly attended to by family members. This has presented a problem to the nursing staff and the delivery of nursing care. In order to address this issue in a culturally sensitive manner, the nurse should take which action? 1. Explain to the client that he has to limit visitors. 2. Evaluate the benefits of family participation in the client's care. 3. Question the family members as to how they see their interaction with the client. 4. Have the physician limit the number of visitors the client can have. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Telling the client he has to limit visitors or having the physician do this may be in conflict with cultural values and is not helpful to the client. Rationale 2: Cultural family values may dictate the extent of the family's involvement in the hospitalized client's care. In some cultures, the entire community may want to visit and participate in the client's care. The nurse should evaluate the positive benefits of family participation in the client's care and modify visiting policies as appropriate. Rationale 3: It would be more appropriate to question the client, not the family members, about the positive benefits of the family interactions because the family members are obviously supportive of their presence.

Page Number: 283 Question 14 Type: MCSA The nurse is planning to conduct a physical assessment with a client from a different culture. What is the best way for the nurse to show cultural sensitivity when addressing the personal questions required of the nursing history? 1. Break the assessment into shorter intervals and discuss general topics first. 2. Thoroughly explain the reason for asking many questions before beginning the assessment. 3. Pick a time when the family is present and can help with the admission assessment questions. 4. Wait until the nurse–client relationship has been established. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Clients may be offended when the nurse immediately asks personal questions. In some cultures, courtesies should be established before business or personal topics are discussed. Discussing general topics can convey that the nurse is interested and has time for the client. This enables the nurse to develop a rapport with the client before progressing to discussion that is more personal. Rationale 2: Even if the explanation is given, clients from some cultures may still find questions of a personal nature offensive so early in the nurse–client association. Rationale 3: The sensitive issue is not necessarily one of language or communication barriers. Rationale 4: Waiting to complete the assessment is not a good idea as there is certain, initial information that needs to be collected from the client.

Question 15 Type: MCSA A non-English-speaking client is needs to have an emergency surgical procedure. The hospital has an interpreter available. When the interpreter arrives to explain the procedure and help with the consent form, the nurse provides the best support when 1. asking the interpreter to use words the client is familiar with for the best understanding. 2. requesting that the interpreter translate, as closely as possible, the same words used by the professional staff. 3. suggesting that the questions be directed to the interpreter, so nothing is omitted. 4. addressing the questions to the client's family. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The objective of the professional interpreter is for the complete transfer of the thought behind the utterance in one language into an utterance in a second language. Rationale 2: An interpreter is an individual who mediates spoken or signed communication between people using different languages without adding, omitting, or distorting meaning or editorializing. The objective of the professional interpreter is for the complete transfer of the thought behind the utterance in one language into an utterance in a second language. Rationale 3: The questions should be addressed to the client, not the interpreter.

During the admission interview, the culturally diverse client averts her eyes and refrains from answering questions for long periods of time. The culturally sensitive nurse should take which action? 1. Come back at a different time, when the client is feeling more communicative. 2. Have another nurse finish the interview, as there is something uncomfortable the client senses. 3. Understand that this may be completely appropriate and take cues accordingly. 4. Leave the room and come back after having learned more about this particular culture. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The nursing interview is the nurse’s responsibility and should not be postponed for what the nurse perceives as the client’s reluctance to communicate. Rationale 2: The nurse is responsible for the admission interview and it should not be avoided for reasons of discomfort. Rationale 3: Nonverbal communication includes silence, touch, eye movement, facial expressions, and body posture. Some cultures are quite comfortable with long periods of silence. Many people value silence and view it as essential to understanding a person's needs or use silence to preserve privacy. Before assigning meaning to nonverbal behavior, the nurse must consider the possibility that the behavior may have a different meaning for the client and family. Rationale 4: The admission history can not be postponed in order for the nurse to improve his or her cultural awareness.

The school nurse is conducting head lice screenings. Before checking the head of an Asian child, the nurse should first take which action? 1. Ask permission. 2. Make sure the child understands the reason for the contact. 3. Put gloves on. 4. Ask the child to wait until last, to avoid embarrassing the child. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: In some Asian cultures, only certain elders are permitted to touch the head of others, and children are never patted on the head. Nurses should, therefore, touch a client's head only with permission. Rationale 2: The nurse should explain the reason for the touching to all children. Rationale 3: Nurses should always wear gloves for this type of screening process.

Explain to the client what will occur during the assessment. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Ask the client to stay quiet because the nurse will be listening to the heart. 4. Take the baseline vital signs, then determine if cardiac auscultation is necessary. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Cardiac assessment requires that the nurse move into the client's intimate space. Before beginning this, the nurse should explain the procedure and then await permission to continue. Rationale 2: Explaining the assessment only while performing the procedure and not before is likely to cause the client anxiety and thus negatively affect the assessment values.

Page Number: 286 Question 19 Type: MCSA The nurse is teaching a client from a culture that is "present oriented" about a dressing change that should be performed twice a day. How should the nurse address the cultural issue? 1. Allow the client to select the times the dressing will be changed. 2. Instruct the client to change the dressing after breakfast and before going to bed. 3. Explain that the client should complete the dressing change at 10 AM and 4 PM. 4. Suggest that the dressing change can be performed whenever the client chooses, as long as it gets done twice daily. Correct Answer: 2 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: This option does not assure the dressing changes will occur as prescribed. Rationale 2: For clients who are "present oriented," it is important to avoid fixed schedules. The nurse can offer a time range for activities and treatments, such as in the morning or after breakfast, and in the evening or before going to bed. This would fit better with the client who isn't focused on times of the day, such as 10 AM and 4 PM, but will provide for a dressing change twice daily.

Ham, baked potato, and fresh fruit 4. Cream soup, sausage, and toast Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The eating of milk products and meat products at the same meal is prohibited. Rationale 2: This menu is in accordance with the kosher tradition because there is no pork being served and dairy and meat are not served together.

Page Number: 288 Question 22 Type: MCSA A home health client participates in cultural health practices that the nurse feels may be detrimental to his health. In order to remain attentive to cultural sensitivity and provide appropriate cultural nursing care, the nurse should take which action? 1. Explain the right and wrong of the client's treatment and try to persuade him to follow the scientific perspective. 2. Have the client's physician explain the care to the client in a firm but gentle manner. 3. Validate the client's practices and understand that for this client, it may be beneficial to continue with his preferences. 4. Try to negotiate with the client by exploring his views and then provide relevant scientific information. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: "Right" and "wrong" terms should be avoided in culturally sensitive areas and where differing views are present. Rationale 2: The nurse, not the physician, is the caregiver in this situation, so it is the nurse's responsibility to teach and see that the plan of care is carried out. Rationale 3: If the client's views can lead to harmful behavior or outcomes, then an attempt is made to shift the client's perspectives to the scientific view.

Make sure that the client understands the importance of the goal. 4. Select a different goal. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: If the outcomes are not achieved for a client from a different culture, the nurse should be especially careful to consider whether the client's belief system has been adequately included as an influencing factor. Rationale 2: Extending the time frame may not be as helpful as looking at the cultural practices—including dietary ones—of the client.

Consider complementary and alternative therapy in the promotion of health. Page Number: 296 Question 3 Type: MCSA The nurse is working with a client who, during her interview, expresses feelings of groundedness. The nurse interprets this to mean that the client 1. is full of energy. 2. feels connected to her reality. 3. is focused on her center of energy. 4. feels "down in the dumps." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Energy is viewed as the force that integrates the body, mind, and spirit and doesn’t relate to groundedness.

Anal Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The phallic stage is from 4 to 6 years of age, and fixation would be related to the individual’s genital organs and the pleasure sensations they create. Rationale 2: The latency stage is 6 years to puberty. Energy is directed to physical and intellectual activities. Sexual impulses tend to be repressed. Rationale 3: Freud's genital stage is characterized by energy that is directed toward full sexual maturity and function and development of skills needed to cope with the environment. It occurs during puberty and extends beyond. Implications of this stage include separation from parents, achievement of independence, and decision making. Fixation occurs at any stage and is the immobilization or the inability of the personality to proceed to the next stage because of anxiety. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 4: The anal stage is from 11/2 to 3 years. The anus and bladder are the sources of pleasure (sensual satisfaction, self-control).

Page Number: 315 Question 8 Type: MCSA A client is being seen in the mental health clinic for antisocial behavior. According to Erikson's stages of development, the nurse realizes that this client is dealing with which task of development? 1. Initiative versus guilt 2. Industry versus inferiority 3. Intimacy versus isolation 4. Identity versus role confusion Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Initiative versus guilt is the late childhood stage and occurs from age 3 to 5 years. Industry versus inferiority occurs from 6 to 12 years, during the school-age stage. Rationale 2: Industry versus inferiority occurs from 6 to 12 years, during the school-age stage. Rationale 3: Intimacy versus isolation is the task during young adulthood and occurs from 18 to 25 years. Rationale 4: According to Erik Erikson, the adolescent stage is from 12 to 20 years and the central task is identity versus role confusion. Positive resolution indicates sense of self with plans to actualize one's abilities. Negative resolution indicates feelings of confusion, indecisiveness, and possible antisocial behavior.

Among her activities, she collected pictures for a scrapbook and wrote a journal of favorite memories for family members to read after the client dies. According to Peck, the nurse realizes that this client is working through which developmental task? 1. Body transcendence versus body preoccupation 2. Ego transcendence versus ego preoccupation 3. Ego differentiation versus work-role preoccupation 4. Integrity versus despair Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Body transcendence versus body preoccupation calls for the individual to adjust to decreasing physical capacities and at the same time maintain feelings of well-being. Rationale 2: Ego transcendence is the acceptance without fear of one's death as inevitable. This acceptance includes being actively involved in one's own future beyond death. Peck proposes that there are three developmental tasks during old age, in contrast to Erikson's one—integrity versus despair. Rationale 3: Ego differentiation versus work-role preoccupation maintains that an adult's identity and feelings of worth are highly dependent on that person's work role. Rationale 4: Erikson proposed integrity versus despair, not Peck.

The nurse recognizes this as which stage of development, according to Roger Gould? 1. Stage 2 2. Stage 3 3. Stage 4 4. Stage 5 Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Roger Gould studied adult development and described seven stages. Stage 2 (ages 18–22) is where individuals have established autonomy, feel it is in jeopardy, and feel they could be pulled back into their families. Rationale 2: Roger Gould studied adult development and described seven stages. Stage 3 (ages 22–28) is when individuals feel established as adults and autonomous from their families. They see themselves as well defined, but still feel the need to prove themselves to their parents. Rationale 3: Roger Gould studied adult development and described seven stages. Stage 4 (ages 29–34) is when marriage and careers are well established. Individuals question what life is all about and wish to be accepted as they are, no longer finding it necessary to prove themselves. Rationale 4: Roger Gould studied adult development and described seven stages. Stage 5 (ages 35–43) is a period of self-reflection. Individuals question values and life itself.

According to Piaget, the nurse realizes that this child is in which phase? 1. Intuitive thought phase 2. Preconceptual phase 3. Concrete operations phase 4. Formal operations phase Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The intuitive thought phase is from age 4 to 7 years and is where egocentric thinking diminishes. The child thinks of one idea at a time and includes others in the environment. Rationale 2: Ages 2 to 4 years, according to Piaget, is the preconceptual phase where the child uses an egocentric approach to accommodate the demands of an environment. Language development is rapid and the child associates words with objects. Rationale 3: The concrete operations phase, ages 7 to 11, is where the child solves concrete problems. The child also begins to understand relationships such as size and right and left, and is cognizant of viewpoints. Rationale 4: During the formal operations phase (ages 11 to 15), the child uses rational thinking, and reasoning is deductive and futuristic.

Page Number: 319 Question 12 Type: MCSA The nurse notes that a 20-month-old child is lagging in stage 6 of Piaget's phases of cognitive development. Which activity did the nurse observe that indicates that this child is struggling at this stage? 1. The child wants the same toy to sleep with during naptime and bedtime. 2. The child merely watches as the other children pretend-play. 3. The child cries when the parents leave the unit. 4. The child does not cooperate with some of the treatments. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Ritual is important for the child of the tertiary circular reaction stage, age 12 to 18 months. Rationale 2: In this stage of development, inventions of new means, children interpret the environment by mental images. They use make-believe and pretend-play. A child who is unable to do this would not be demonstrating the behavior that is significant at this stage. Rationale 3: Crying when parents leave the unit and not cooperating with certain medical treatments is normal behavior for children of various ages, especially when hospitalized, and would not indicate lags in development.

Which theorist should the nurse study to learn this information? 1. Vygotsky 2. Skinner 3. Kohlberg 4. Piaget Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Vygotsky explored the concept of cognitive development within a social, historical, and cultural context, arguing that adults guide children to learn and that development depends on the use of language, play, and extensive social interaction. Rationale 2: Skinner's research led to the term "operant conditioning," and most of his work was with laboratory animals.

From which stage of Gilligan’s theory is the educator approaching the teaching of students? 1. Stage 1 2. Stage 2 3. Stage 3 4. Stage 4 Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Stage 1 is caring for oneself. Rationale 2: Stage 2 is caring for others. Rationale 3: Gilligan's stage 3—caring for self and others—is the last stage of development, where a person sees the need for a balance between caring for others and caring for the self.

2. Intuitive-projective 3. Universalizing 4. Individuating-reflexive Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Mythical-lyrical describes the person between ages 7 and 12, in a private world of fantasy and wonder. Rationale 2: The intuitive-projective stage, ages 4 to 6 years, is a combination of images and beliefs given by trusted others, mixed with the child's own experience and imagination. Rationale 3: Universalizing, which may never be reached by an individual, is a stage of becoming incarnate of the principles of love and justice.

The child has been frustrated at first, but now is able to give the reason to use the meter on a daily basis. Remembering the growth and development characteristics of the adolescent, how should the nurse respond to this client? 1. "You should feel very proud for understanding and using your meter." 2. "Think of using the meter as one of your daily chores." 3. "Maybe you could make a game out of the daily use of your meter." 4. "It's too bad if you don't want to use the meter, it's just something you'll have to do." Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: School-age children (6–12 years) are in the preadolescent period, where the peer group begins to increasingly influence behavior. The nurse must allow time and energy for the school-age child to pursue hobbies and school activities and should recognize and support the child's achievement. Play and social activity are more important in the preschool-age child as new experiences and social roles are tried during play. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Allow as much independence for the residents as possible. 3. Make sure to provide safety measures as needed. 4. Make sure the residents maintain peer interactions and social groups. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Providing as much care as possible does not meet the independence need required in this age group. Rationale 2: The old-old stage, age 85 and older, is characterized by increasing physical problems. The nursing implication for this age group is to assist with self-care as required, but maintain as much independence as possible.

The nurse is assessing a child’s growth and development. What questions should the nurse ask the parents that demonstrate an understanding of the factors that affect growth and development processes? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. How tall the parents are 2. Whether noises seem to bother their child 3. How many ounces of formula their child drinks daily 4. What their yearly income is 5. Whether their child will receive day-care services Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3 Rationale 1: The genetic inheritance of an individual is established at conception. It remains unchanged throughout life, and determines such characteristics as gender and physical characteristics (e.g., eye color, potential height). Rationale 2: Temperament sets the stage for the interactive dynamics of growth and development. Rationale 3: Adequate nutrition is an essential component of growth and development.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 21 Question 1 Type: MCSA A client comes to the women's clinic, stating she has had a positive home pregnancy test. The client states that her last menstrual cycle was 2 months ago. According to this time frame, the nurse determines that the client is in which stage of pregnancy? 1. Fetal phase 2. Second trimester 3. Third trimester 4. Embryonic phase Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The fetal phase of development is characterized by a period of rapid growth in the size of the fetus and corresponds to the second trimester of pregnancy. Rationale 2: The fetal phase of development is characterized by a period of rapid growth in the size of the fetus and corresponds to the second trimester of pregnancy. Rationale 3: The third trimester is the last 3 months of the pregnancy period. Rationale 4: Traditionally, pregnancy has been divided into three periods called trimesters, each of which lasts 3 months. The embryonic phase is the period during which the fertilized ovum develops into an organism with most of the features of the human. This period is considered to encompass the first 8 weeks of pregnancy.

Question 2 Type: MCSA The parents of a baby born prematurely during the sixth month of pregnancy question the nurse about the hair all over their baby. What is the nurse's best response? 1. "All babies are hairy. It is more noticeable on preemies." 2. "Fine downy hair helps keep the baby insulated in utero." 3. "You should be more concerned with the baby's respiratory function." 4. "Don't worry about how the baby looks. All preemies look funny." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This option, although not incorrect, doesn’t adequately address the parents’ question. Rationale 2: Lanugo, a fine downy hair, covers the body of the baby and usually disappears by the time gestation is full term. Because this baby was born early, the lanugo is more noticeable and will disappear as the baby nears full term. Rationale 3: This option dismisses the parents’ question.

1. Meats, fish, and poultry 2. A mix of vegetables and fiber 3. Oranges and green leafy vegetables 4. Low-fat and high-protein foods Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Protein sources are important for overall health but do not increase intake of folic acid. Rationale 2: Folic acid is important to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Neural tube defects occur in the first few weeks of fetal development. Folic acid–rich foods include green leafy vegetables, oranges, and dried beans. Rationale 3: Folic acid is important to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus.

Having taken a medication that is a known teratogen Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. Smoking 3. Having low levels of folic acid 4. Genetic history Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Teratogens are medications known to adversely affect normal cellular development in the embryo or fetus. Rationale 2: Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke has been associated with preterm births, stillbirth, miscarriage, and low-birth-weight infants.

Page Number: 330 Question 7 Type: MCSA Parents of a newborn ask the nurse why their newborn’s head seems lopsided and not round, as they thought it should be. How should the nurse respond to these parents? 1. "I don't think it looks unusual; actually the head is beautifully shaped." 2. "Your baby's head had to shape itself to the birth canal. It will look round in a few days." 3. "You're right. We'll make sure your doctor checks this out." 4. "Babies' heads always look funny. Once his hair grows out, you'll hardly notice it." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This option dismisses the parents’ concerns. Rationale 2: Molding of the head is made possible by the fontanels and occurs during vaginal deliveries as the head comes through the birth canal. Within a week, the newborn's head usually regains its symmetry. It is normal with vaginal deliveries. Babies born via cesarean section do not experience molding. Molding is not permanent— a fact that makes parents feel more reassured. Rationale 3: This condition is not abnormal and does not need to be referred to the doctor; rather, the nurse needs to reassure the parents that nothing is wrong.

"Newborns blink in response to bright lights and sound and will follow large objects." 4. "Newborns aren't able to focus, so everything looks blurry to them." Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: This is not necessarily correct information because we don't know what they "see" or how it looks to them. Rationale 2: At 5 months, the infant reaches for objects, but starts tracking them much sooner. Rationale 3: Newborns can follow large, moving objects and blink in response to bright lights and sound. Their pupils respond slowly, and the eyes cannot focus on close objects.

"I'll have the pediatrician speak to you about it." 4. "Newborns' pain experience is real. We'll use some medication to help your baby feel more comfortable." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Newborns certainly do feel pain. Rationale 2: Newborns certainly do feel pain and it is important to comfort the child, but this option does not answer the parents' question. Nurses who care for newborns should be able to explain expected reactions to the parents. Rationale 3: Nurses who care for newborns should be able to explain expected reactions to the parents.

MNL Learning Outcome: 2.1.1. Analyze the infant, toddler, and preschooler’s physiologic and psychosocial development. Page Number: 335 Question 12 Type: MCSA The parents of a toddler are concerned that their child is so messy during eating, so they feed him instead of allowing him to feed himself. What should the nurse respond to the parents? 1. "That's probably best. I'm sure it makes your mealtime more pleasant." 2. "At least you're sharing meals as a family. That's the most important." 3. "Motor skills keep improving with age. Try not to get frustrated with the mess." 4. "Your child will never learn if you don't let him experience." Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: This option reflects parental action that will interfere with the child’s development; assuring the parents that this will improve may help them with their patience during the messy times. Rationale 2: This option does not address the developmental need for the child to attempt feeding himself. Rationale 3: Fine muscle coordination and gross motor skills improve during toddlerhood. At 2 years, the toddler should be able to hold a spoon and put it into the mouth correctly, albeit with some messes while he is learning. Assuring the parents that this will improve may help them with their patience during the messy times. Rationale 4: Simply doing the skill for the child will allow no room for practice and error.

Question 13 Type: MCSA A toilet-trained 4-year-old hospitalized for several days with an acute illness has been wetting the bed at night and is having incontinent accidents during the day. How should the nurse address the parent’s concern about this behavior? 1. "Maybe your child should be seen by a specialist, just to make sure there are no physical problems." 2. "It is normal for some children to go through a stage of regression after separation from their family or after an acute illness. Try not to be too discouraged." 3. "You'll have to be very strict with discipline, so your child knows this behavior is not acceptable." 4. "I'd be upset too. It must be hard to go back to using diapers." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Regressive behavior is not based on physiology and, unless it lasts, would not have to be further investigated. Rationale 2: Regression is reverting to an earlier development stage (bed-wetting, using baby talk, etc.) as part of the child's experiences with separation anxiety. Nurses can assist parents by helping them understand that this behavior is normal and will pass as the child reestablishes herself as part of the family and works through her own frustration with the situation.

Question 14 Type: MCSA A kindergarten class is being screened by a group of nursing students using a Snellen E chart. Few of the children have 20/20 vision. Most have 20/30, and some have 20/40. What should the nursing students report to the instructor about these children’s vision? 1. "These children have normal vision abilities." 2. "We should check into the health of these children. Maybe their diets are lacking in essential vitamins because they all have poor eyesight." 3. "These kids will all be wearing glasses when we come back next year." 4. "We should use a different eye chart. Maybe the kids would understand it better." Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Preschool children are generally farsighted and not able to focus on near objects. By the end of the preschool years, visual ability has improved. Normal vision for the 5-year-old is 20/30. Rationale 2: Unless there are other concerns, these findings should be considered normal and further investigation would be unnecessary.

During an auditory screening of third graders, the school nurse identifies a hearing deficit for one of the students. When the parents ask the nurse about the findings, how should the nurse respond? 1. "Hearing acuity is not fully developed in your child. Let's recheck next year." 2. "I'd like to recheck at the clinic. Then we may need to have your child be seen by an auditory specialist." 3. "It was too noisy when we were testing, so I wouldn't be concerned if I were you." 4. "Your child will probably need a hearing aid." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The follow-up for these findings should not be postponed. Rationale 2: Auditory perception is fully developed in school-age children, who are able to identify fine differences in voices, both in sound and pitch. Rechecking the results with a possible referral would be appropriate at this level. Rationale 3: Auditory testing should be done in a quiet environment or none of the testing is accurate. Rationale 4: The child's hearing test could be affected by a number of physiological variables (e.g., recent respiratory illness or excess cerumen in the ears), and telling the parents their child needs a hearing aid is both premature and not within the nurse's realm of practice.

In which order should the nurse instruct the parents of a school-age child that moral development will develop in their child? Standard Text: Click and drag the options below to move them up or down. Choice 1. Punishment and obedience Choice 2. Law-and-order orientation Choice 3. Instrumental-relativist orientation Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Choice 4. "Good boy–nice girl" stage Correct Answer: 1, 4, 2, 3 Rationale 1: School-age children are in Kohlberg’s stage 1 of the preconventional level (punishment and obedience); that is, they act to avoid being punished. Rationale 2: Stage 4 is the law-and-order orientation. The motivation for moral action at this stage is to live up to what significant others think of the child. Rationale 3: Stage 2 is the instrumental-relativist orientation. These children do things to benefit themselves. Fairness, in which everyone gets a fair share or chance, becomes important. Rationale 4: Stage 3 is the “good boy–nice girl” stage. The child shifts from the concrete interests of individuals to the interests of groups.

Page Number: 343 Question 18 Type: MCSA A school health nurse is working on education programs for high school students. As part of the plan, the nurse wants to address health concern topics besides the dangers of unprotected sex or drug and alcohol abuse. Which class topic should the nurse present to these students? 1. Warning signs of depression for peers to identify among their classmates 2. Injury prevention 3. Early signs of cancer and heart disease 4. Normal physiological changes of this age group Correct Answer: 1 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Suicide in adolescents has declined in recent years, but continues to be a significant problem. Older adolescents, males, and non-Hispanic American Indians and Alaskan Natives have the highest rates of suicides among adolescents. Suicide by an adolescent may be reported as an accidental death. Motor vehicle crashes, drug and alcohol overdoses, firearm injuries, and even homicides can be disguised suicides. Psychological, social, and physiological stressors are apparent causes for many suicides. Students would benefit from understanding what to look for in their peers. Rationale 2: Injury prevention should be the focus in the school-age child. Rationale 3: Cancer and heart disease are not prevalent problems among high-school-age students. Rationale 4: Normal physiological changes would not address the health problems of this age group, but rather would give general information.

Page Number: 348 Question 19 Type: MCSA While the nurse is teaching a group of parents and their teenage sons about puberty and sexual growth, a parent asks if fertility coincides with ejaculation. What should the nurse respond to this question? 1. "Yes, if your son is ejaculating, he also possesses fertility." 2. "Sexual maturity does not occur until age 18, so don't worry about anything until then." 3. "Fertility follows several months after the first ejaculation." 4. "You'll have to ask your physician about this because it is a sensitive subject." Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Ejaculation does not mean the same thing as fertility, which does occur before sexual maturity. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Fertility follows several months later, with sexual maturity achieved by age 18. Ejaculation does not mean the same thing as fertility, which does occur before sexual maturity. Rationale 3: The milestone of male puberty is considered to be the first ejaculation, which commonly occurs at about 14 years of age. Fertility follows several months later, with sexual maturity achieved by age 18.

Question 20 TYPE: MCMA The nurse suspects that an adolescent is working through the stages of spiritual development. What observations did the nurse make to come to this conclusion? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Imitated behavior demonstrated by parents 2. Conceptualized angels and devils with the use of imagination 3. Compartmentalized differences between spiritual beliefs with friends 4. Determined differences between spiritual beliefs as being right or wrong 5. Met with the church priest to talk about the differences in spiritual beliefs Correct Answer: 3, 4, 5 Rationale 1: Imitating behavior demonstrated by parents is a behavior of a preschool-age child. Rationale 2: Conceptualizing angels and devils with the use of imagination is a behavior demonstrated by a preschool-age child. Rationale 3: The adolescent may reconcile differences in spiritual beliefs by compartmentalizing the differences.

In sharing their concerns about this behavior with the school nurse, the parents are worried about their child seeming to draw away from them. What should the nurse respond to the parents? 1. "You should really keep better track of your child. It's hard to tell what kinds of trouble she may be getting into." 2. "Independence is really important for this age group. Try to be extra attentive when your child does spend time at home." 3. "Use stricter guidelines for curfew and punishment if curfew is broken." 4. "Is it possible that your child might be taking drugs?" Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This option reflects any overly pessimistic view regarding the child’s behavior. Rationale 2: Many adolescents gradually draw away from the family and gain independence. This sometimes creates conflict within the family. The young person may appear hostile or depressed. It is not uncommon for adolescents to prefer to be with their peers rather than their families. Rationale 3: Parents should try not to increase controls, as this may cause more rebellion in the child. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

What should the nurse do? 1. Tell the adolescent to stay away from "friends like that." 2. Be open to the concerns and provide accurate information about any questions. 3. Encourage the adolescent to accept psychosocial counseling. 4. Give the adolescent pamphlets on sexually transmitted diseases. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Giving directions may turn the student away from seeking help. Rationale 2: The nurse must present an open, accepting attitude to the adolescent's questions while encouraging the adolescent to find relationships that promote discussion of feelings, concerns, and fears. Rationale 3: Suggesting counseling may turn the student away from seeking help.

Then you can avoid them." 2. "Put the child in a room alone and ignore the tantrum." 3. "Make sure the child is safe, then walk away." 4. "Hold the child tightly until he stops crying." Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Sometimes, even with all the best intentions, toddlers throw tantrums. Parents should not be made to feel like it was something they did wrong or could have prevented. Rationale 2: Placing the child away from supervision (in a room alone) could increase the risk of injury. Rationale 3: Making sure of safety, then walking away is part of fostering the toddler's psychosocial development.

The client works as an auto-detailer. 2. He smokes half a pack of cigarettes per week. 3. He has not had a yearly exam for 5 years. 4. He does not perform testicular self-exams. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: There is no current evidence to support such work as a risk factor for such symptoms. Rationale 2: There is no current evidence to support smoking as a risk factor for such symptoms. Rationale 3: Testicular cancer is the most common neoplasm in men between the ages of 20 and 34. Monthly testicular self-examination, a means of early identification of malignancy, used to be recommended for all men. More recent recommendations from the American Cancer Society (ACS) are that men should have a testicular exam as part of a yearly physical exam.

Giving the group handouts regarding peer socialization 3. Helping the members of this group find appropriate civic responsibility Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. Assisting the group members to look at their life accomplishments Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Erikson viewed the developmental choice of the middle-aged adult as generativity versus stagnation. Generativity is defined as concern for establishing and guiding the next generation. This could be accomplished through a mentor program with school-age children. Rationale 2: Peer socialization is a task of the young adult and adolescent. Rationale 3: Finding civic responsibility is a task of the young adult and adolescent.

Page Number: 359 Question 15 Type: MCSA The nurse is providing assistance at a community health fair for middle-aged clients. Which information should the nurse use when working with this group of clients? 1. The middle-aged person has decreased intellectual and cognitive abilities as a result of the normal aging process. 2. Adults make the transition into this stage easily and without problems. 3. Physical capabilities and functions decrease with age, but mental and social capacities tend to increase in the latter part of life. 4. Cognitive and intellectual abilities are somewhat decreased due to slower reaction time, loss of memory, and changes in perception and problem solving. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Cognitive and intellectual abilities change very little during this time. Rationale 2: Transition into middle life can be as critical as during adolescence. Some refer to the "midlife crisis" and call the decade between 35 and 45 years the "deadline decade." Rationale 3: Physical capabilities and functions do decrease with age, but mental and social capacities actually increase in the latter part of life.

Page Number: 359 Question 16 Type: MCSA The nurse can identify movement into Kohlberg's postconventional level when the client, after being asked about work, makes which statement? 1. "Oh, the work isn't so bad anymore. I'm getting close to retirement." 2. "Work is fine, but my family and friends are so much more important to me." 3. "I've done a good job for the company. I'm proud of my years there." 4. "I don't like to talk about work when I'm not there." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: According to Kohlberg, the extensive experience of personal moral choice and responsibility is required to move into the postconventional level. A statement about work not being so bad shows a complacency about work that is not reflective of the postconventional level. Rationale 2: According to Kohlberg, the extensive experience of personal moral choice and responsibility is required to move into the postconventional level. Movement from a law-and-order orientation to a social contract orientation requires that the individual move to a stage in which rights of others take precedence—as in the statement that work is OK, but family and friends are more important. Rationale 3: Stating that the person has pride about work and the time spent doing it would be an example of Erikson's stage of integrity versus despair. Rationale 4: According to Kohlberg, the extensive experience of personal moral choice and responsibility is required to move into the postconventional level. A statement about not wanting to talk about work shows complacency about work that is not reflective of the postconventional level. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

"There is a menopause support group that meets every 2 weeks." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Telling a client who is struggling not to worry is not therapeutic and does not address the problem. Rationale 2: Advice about medications is not within nurses' scope of practice, as they do not prescribe. Rationale 3: Comparing this client's situation to her mother's is neither relevant nor therapeutic. Her mother's age group was going through experiences in a different time and culture.

Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Promote safety. 2. Promote mental health. 3. Improve quality of life. 4. Promote spiritual health. 5. Promote growth and development. Correct Answer: 1, 3 Rationale 1: Miller developed the Functional Consequences Theory in 1990. Functional consequences are agerelated changes, actions that have placed the client at risk for illness or injury, and risk factors for disease. The nurse should design interventions that promote safety. Rationale 2: In the Nursing Theory of Successful Aging developed by Flood, the client experiences spiritual connections and a sense of meaning and worth. Nurses must target interventions for the older adult in the promotion of mental health throughout the aging process. Rationale 3: Miller developed the Functional Consequences Theory in 1990. Functional consequences are agerelated changes, actions that have placed the client at risk for illness or injury, and risk factors for disease.

Considering the physiological changes of this age group, how should the nurse set the temperature of the room? Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. It should be set at a temperature that is comfortable for the nurse. 2. It should be set cooler than what is comfortable for the nurse. 3. It should be set warmer than the nurse's preference. 4. The temperature of the room is not one of the nurse's concerns. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Because elderly persons have a loss of subcutaneous fat, their tolerance of cold is decreased and they would not be comfortable in a temperature suited to a younger individual. Rationale 2: Because elderly persons have a loss of subcutaneous fat, their tolerance of cold is decreased and they typically do not enjoy cooler temperatures. Rationale 3: Because elderly persons have a loss of subcutaneous fat, their tolerance of cold is decreased and they typically enjoy warmer temperatures. Rationale 4: If the environment is not comfortable to the audience, they will be distracted and not be able to focus or concentrate on the presentation and any information the nurse shares.

What should the nurse expect the client to report? 1. Weight loss and nausea 2. Hair loss and thin skin Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Bleeding and bruising tendencies 4. Lack of strength and tiring easily Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Sarcopenia is not generally related to weight loss or nausea. Rationale 2: Alopecia is loss of hair. Rationale 3: Thrombocytopenia may cause bleeding and bruising. Rationale 4: Sarcopenia is defined as a steady decrease in muscle fibers, a normal physiological change of aging. The age-related mechanism appears to be related to denervation of the muscle and causes elders to often complain about their lack of strength and how quickly they tire.

Page Number: 370 Question 5 Type: MCSA An elderly client comes to the clinic for follow-up after a long hospitalization. When the client asks about increasing strength and endurance, what should the nurse respond? 1. "Your muscles can be strengthened, which might help you function better." 2. "It won't matter if you exercise. At your age, there's little room for improvement." 3. "Once muscle mass is decreased, there's nothing that can be done for strength improvement." 4. "Maybe you should think about going to a nursing home. At least the people there will be able to help with your needs." Correct Answer: 1 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: There is evidence that an older adult's muscles can be strengthened through exercise and training, with concomitant improvements in functional status. Rationale 2: It would be inappropriate for the nurse to assume that there is no room for improvement. Rationale 3: Physical changes associated with the aging process are normal, but not something that can't be improved upon. Rationale 4: There is evidence that an older adult's muscles can be strengthened through exercise and training, with concomitant improvements in functional status. It would be inappropriate for the nurse to suggest that the client is a suitable candidate for long-term care.

Page Number: 371 Question 6 Type: MCSA A group of elderly women come to the community center for exercise classes taught by the community health nurse. This activity will help lead to which outcome for these clients? 1. Reverse the effects of aging and cure pain. 2. Slow bone density loss and decrease muscle atrophy. 3. Eliminate the risk for osteoporosis. 4. Prevent pathologic fractures. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Exercise and proper nutrition will not reverse the effects of aging, nor will they eliminate the risk for osteoporosis. Rationale 2: Programs of physical activity and proper nutrition will slow bone density loss and decrease muscle atrophy and stiffness that occurs with aging. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Exercise and proper nutrition will not reverse the effects of aging, nor will they eliminate the risk for osteoporosis.

Page Number: 372 Question 7 Type: MCSA A nurse is teaching a wellness class for older adults. In order to address the sensory loss that accompanies the aging process, the nurse should recommend that these clients take which action? 1. Use hearing aids and glasses. 2. Wear shaded glasses indoors to reduce glare. 3. Switch to brighter lighting in their home. 4. Exercise more and increase calcium intake. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Not all elderly people need glasses or hearing aids. Rationale 2: Changes in vision associated with aging include loss of visual acuity, less power of adaptation to darkness and dim light, decrease in accommodation to near and far objects, loss of peripheral vision, and difficulty in discriminating similar colors. Wearing darker glasses will not increase the brightness of the home. Rationale 3: Changes in vision associated with aging include loss of visual acuity, less power of adaptation to darkness and dim light, decrease in accommodation to near and far objects, loss of peripheral vision, and difficulty in discriminating similar colors. Having brighter lighting in their home may help with some of these vision changes. Rationale 4: Exercise and nutrition do not address sensory problems.

Write out what they want to say on a piece of paper. 4. Speak distinctly, while facing the residents. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: This option assumes that all residents have significant hearing loss, which is ageism. Rationale 2: This option assumes that all residents have significant hearing loss, which is ageism. Rationale 3: This option assumes that all residents have significant hearing loss, which is ageism.

To address the sensory changes in this age group, what should the nurse recommend to this group? 1. Have carbon monoxide detectors that are checked on a scheduled basis. 2. Place a list of emergency numbers near the phone. 3. Install telephones that use a blinking light instead of a ringer. 4. Ask someone to do their cooking for them. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: A decreased or absent sense of smell adds to the safety issues of this age group. Because of this, and if the elderly person's home has natural gas appliances or furnace, a carbon monoxide detector would alert the person of any gas leaks or problems present. Rationale 2: Emergency numbers by the phone is a good idea, but does not address sensory changes. Rationale 3: Telephones that utilize a blinking light are used for people who are significantly hearing impaired. Rationale 4: It is not necessary for someone to do cooking for this age group, although they may be inclined to use more salt due to decreased sense of smell and taste.

Question 10 Type: MCSA An elderly client comes to the clinic after checking his blood pressure several times in the local discount store. The nurse checks the blood pressure and finds that it is 146/80. What should the nurse say to this client? 1. "Having blood pressure a little high is normal at your age. Yours is fine." 2. "I'll recheck this in a while, but your systolic pressure is too high." 3. "We'll wait and see what the doctor says, but I doubt he will be concerned." 4. "You should be on medicine for high blood pressure." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Current evidence indicates that a systolic pressure of greater than 140 mm Hg is as problematic in older adults as in younger ones and should be treated. Rationale 2: Isolated systolic hypertension was considered to be "normal" in older adults and was frequently not treated. Now, evidence indicates that a systolic pressure of greater than 140 mm Hg is as problematic in older adults as in younger ones and should be treated. Rationale 3: Current evidence indicates that a systolic pressure of greater than 140 mm Hg is as problematic in older adults as in younger ones and should be treated.

The nurse initially recognizes that these symptoms Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. indicate a concern and could be caused by cancer. 2. indicate the need for an upper and lower GI x-ray series. 3. could be related to normal changes in muscle tone and activity. 4. are probably indicative of a gastric ulcer or colitis. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: It would be premature, as well as outside the scope of nursing practice, for the nurse to consider any other pathology. Rationale 2: With the normal aging process, there is a decrease in muscle tone, digestive juices, and intestinal activity. These together may lead to indigestion and constipation in the older adult. It would be premature, as well as outside the scope of nursing practice, for the nurse to tell the client that there is a need for invasive testing. Rationale 3: With the normal aging process, there is a decrease in muscle tone, digestive juices, and intestinal activity. These together may lead to indigestion and constipation in the older adult.

How should the nurse respond? 1. "You shouldn't feel badly. Lots of people have this trouble." 2. "You'll probably have to start wearing incontinence briefs. Then you won't be worried about accidents." Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. "Getting old isn't much fun, is it?" 4. "There could be a number of causes for this. I need to ask you some more questions about it." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: This option inappropriately attempts to minimize the client’s concerns. Rationale 2: Incontinence briefs are useful products for people who have urinary incontinence (UI), but the cause for all cases must be investigated. Rationale 3: The client already feels badly—the nurse only makes this feeling worse by adding to it. Rationale 4: Elders may be susceptible to urinary incontinence (UI) because of changes in the kidneys and bladder. UI is never normal and the nurse must promptly investigate the cause, onset, and any other symptoms.

Page Number: 371 Question 13 Type: MCSA An older male client comes to the clinic and states to the nurse that he hasn't been interested in sexual intercourse lately. He states: "I guess this is part of getting old, too." What should the nurse explain about decreased sexual interest in older clients? 1. It does decrease and gradually disappears. 2. It should not be taken as seriously as it would be if the client were a younger person. 3. It is caused by decreased hormone activity and there is little that can be done about it. 4. It decreases but does not disappear. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Libido may decrease but not disappear. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: If an older man reports a loss in sexual interest, the nurse should be as concerned as when a younger man reports a loss of interest in sexual activity. Rationale 3: Decrease in hormone secretion and activity is a normal aging process, but there may be treatment measures that can help if this is the case. Rationale 4: The major age-related change in sexual response is timing. It takes longer to become sexually aroused, longer to complete intercourse, and longer before sexual arousal can occur again.

Page Number: 374 Question 14 Type: MCSA In planning any health program for elderly adults, the nurse will implement Erikson's theory of task development. The nurse realizes that in this stage of life, the successful completion of the task allows the person to 1. have a feeling of satisfaction from past accomplishments. 2. make connections with the younger generation. 3. wish he or she could live life over again. 4. live out his or her last years in physical health. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Erikson's task of this developmental stage is integrity versus despair. People who develop integrity accept their lives with a sense of wholeness and satisfaction with their past accomplishments. Rationale 2: Making connections with the younger generation is part of the task of the middle-adult age group. Rationale 3: People who despair often believe they made poor choices during life and wish they could live life over. Rationale 4: Physical health is not part of psychosocial development.

A client who felt success through her children's accomplishments 2. A client who held his job and work status as the defining feature of his life 3. A client who maintained a balance between work and home 4. A client who planned to really enjoy life once she retired Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Those who have been concerned only with the accomplishments of their children can be left with a feeling of emptiness when the children leave. Rationale 2: People who have been concerned only with the paycheck and their job status can be left with a feeling of emptiness when the job no longer exists.

When considering these supplies, what should the nurse recall? 1. Medicare will cover supplies, but only with a physician's written order. 2. Between insurance supplements and Medicare, the older client shouldn't have any difficulty with coverage. 3. Most clients in this age group live on a fixed income, and supplies used should be as economical as possible. 4. Clients have to be responsible for their own supplies. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Assuming that all supplies are covered by Medicare when ordered by a physician is erroneous. Rationale 2: Assuming that all supplies are covered by Medicare and/or supplemental insurance is erroneous. Rationale 3: The financial needs of this age group vary considerably, and problems with income are related to low retirement benefits, lack of pension plans, and increasing length of retirement years.

What should the nurse suggest as possibilities to meet these needs? 1. Adult foster care 2. Group homes 3. Retirement villages 4. Long-term care facilities 5. Adult day-care centers Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5 Rationale 1: Adult foster care offers services to individuals who can care for themselves but require some form of supervision for safety purposes. Rationale 2: Group homes offer services to individuals who can care for themselves but require some form of supervision for safety purposes. Rationale 3: Retirement villages provide social support, but do not provide assistance with medication and activities of daily living (ADLs). Rationale 4: Long-term care facilities provide all care when elderly persons are no longer able to care for themselves; they are not considered "assistance" living. Rationale 5: The older adult who lives at home can attend a day-care center that provides health and social services to the older person.

How should the gerontological nurse case manager support this client's independence? 1. Allow the client to be actively involved in all decisions made. 2. Make arrangements based on what the nurse feels is in the best interest of the client. 3. Work closely with the social worker and physician to make the decisions necessary for the client. 4. Set up a meeting with the family members so decisions can be made. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Nurses need to acknowledge the older client's ability to think, reason, and make decisions. Most elders are willing to listen to suggestions and advice, but they do not want to be ordered around. It would be quite appropriate to include the physician or primary care provider, social worker, as well as the family in the decisionmaking process, but always and foremost, to include the client.

Page Number: 377 Question 19 Type: MCSA Some nursing students are doing their first clinical rotation in a long-term care facility. What should the nurse educator remind the students to do to meet the needs of this particular client group? 1. Do all care for the clients, as they're unable to do it independently. 2. Always remember that the clients’ self-respect must be maintained in all interactions of the students. 3. Make sure the clients' care is done in a timely manner, and sometimes that means doing things for the client. 4. Treat this group of clients with a greater level of respect than younger clients. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: There is much diversity among older clients, and nurses should be wary of stereotyping this group. Rationale 2: Older people appreciate the same thoughtfulness, consideration, and acceptance of their abilities as younger people do. Rationale 3: The aging client may be slower and less meticulous in many activities, and many young people err in thinking they are helpful to older people when they take over for them and do the job much faster and more efficiently.

A resident who was not inclined to participate in any activities offered at the facility 4. A resident who started to become more dependent on the nursing staff at the facility Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Independence established prior to the loss of a mate makes adjustment easier. Rationale 2: Independence established prior to the loss of a mate makes adjustment easier. A person who had meaningful relationships and friendships or economic security, ongoing interests in the community or private hobbies, and a peaceful philosophy of life copes more easily with bereavement.

A nurse who works in a long-term care facility has noticed that one of the residents has been showing signs of impaired cognitive and self-care abilities over the last 2 weeks. The nurse should 1. remember that memory loss is a normal, age-related change. 2. investigate for possible physiologic problems. 3. instruct the staff to be extra attentive, as this person needs more assistance. 4. inform the resident's family that the resident probably has some form of dementia. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Cognitive impairment that interferes with normal life is not considered part of normal aging. A decline in intellectual abilities that interferes with social or occupational functions should always be regarded as abnormal and be investigated.

Page Number: 378 Question 22 Type: MCSA A client has been diagnosed with dementia. The family wants to know how to plan for the future. What is the best response by the nurse? 1. "Your family member's symptoms will get worse, but there are medications to stop the progress." Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. "You should plan right now on which long-term care facility you will want to utilize when the time comes." 3. "Dementia is a progressive deterioration. It's important for you to clearly understand what to look for in symptoms." 4. "Dementia can be treated once the cause is known." Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: There are no cures, but some medications may help to slow the progression. Rationale 2: Family members must be educated on the course of dementia and be encouraged to learn as much about coping skills as possible. Rationale 3: Dementia is a progressive loss of cognitive function. The most common type is Alzheimer's disease. The cause is unknown. The most prominent symptoms are cognitive dysfunctions, including decline in memory, learning, attention, judgment, orientation, and language skills. Family members must be educated on the course of dementia and be encouraged to learn as much about coping skills as possible.

What would be one of the gerontological nurse's responsibilities? 1. Make sure the client is being prescribed appropriate medication. 2. Provide support for the spouse. 3. Assess the client early to ensure proper care. 4. Find a suitable long-term care facility for the client. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Medication prescription is not a nursing responsibility. Rationale 2: The nurse's responsibility is to provide supportive nursing care, accurate information, and referral assistance, if necessary, to the caregiver. Caregivers may experience physical and emotional exhaustion while they render continuous care. Rationale 3: It is important for the nurse to do an ongoing assessment of both the client and the caregiver as the client's condition deteriorates.

Page Number: 380 Question 24 Type: MCSA The nurse is explaining the difference between dementia and delirium to the spouse of a client with Alzheimer’s disease. What should the nurse say to make this distinction? 1. “Delirium is easily distinguished from dementia.” 2. “Dementia is reversible and treatable.” 3. “Delirium is an acute and reversible syndrome.” 4. “Dementia is the only condition that is characterized by changes in memory, judgment, language, mathematic calculation, abstract reasoning, and problem-solving ability.” Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Both dementia and delirium have many of the same characteristics. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Delirium is an acute, reversible syndrome; dementia is not. Rationale 3: Once the underlying pathology is treated, the delirium disappears.

Page Number: 380 Question 25 Type: MCSA A hospitalized older client is recovering from an acute illness. As the client nears the end of his hospitalization, he questions the nurse about medications and care after discharge. The gerontological nurse should 1. inform the physician that the client needs to go to a nursing home. 2. assess the client's independence and ability to function in his own home before discharge. 3. tell the client not to worry about going home. 4. invite the client's family to come to the hospital so the nurse can explain the client's care to them. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Informing the physician that the client needs long-term care is inappropriate at this point. Rationale 2: Older adults often perceive that being in the hospital could change their ability to be autonomous and independent. As a result, the nurse needs to assess the older adult's stage or perception of need for control and autonomy during his hospitalization and his fears and hopes about being discharged from the hospital setting. Rationale 3: Telling the client not to worry is not therapeutic and does not address his concerns. Rationale 4: The client is a capable adult and should be included in all decision-making situations, not have them deferred to the family.

New Questions Question 26 Type: MCSA The nurse is completing an assessment to determine an older patient’s development of moral reasoning. Which observation indicates that the client has developed moral reasoning as anticipated? 1. Considers relationships as well as justice in moral decisions 2. Approaches moral decisions based upon the consequences to self 3. Follows society’s rules of conduct in response to the expectations of others 4. Bases moral judgments on connectedness to others and the value of relationships Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Older adults begin to make moral decisions that are consistent with the theories of both Kohlberg and Gilligan. Older men consider relationships, as well as justice, in moral decisions, and older women add justice to the factors they consider in moral situations. Rationale 2: Approaching moral decisions based upon the consequences to self does not exemplify development of moral reasoning for the older adult client. Rationale 3: Following society’s rules of conduct in response to the expectations of others is a belief of Kohlberg; however, this does not demonstrate the development of moral reasoning for an older adult. Rationale 4: Basing moral judgments on connectedness to others and the value of relationships is a belief of Gilligan, who identified this approach to moral behavior in women.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 24 Question 1 Type: MCSA A client is asked during an admission interview to describe her family. She proceeds to list parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Which type of family should the nurse document for this client? 1. Nuclear 2. Extended 3. Traditional 4. Blended Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The nuclear family contains parents and offspring. Rationale 2: The extended family includes parents and offspring (nuclear) along with relatives such as grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Rationale 3: A traditional family is viewed as one in which both parents reside in the home with their children— the mother assuming the nurturing role and the father providing the necessary economic resources Rationale 4: A blended family consists of existing family units joined together to form new families, also known as stepfamilies or reconstituted families.

A nurse is working with a particular cultural group in which it is not uncommon for grandparents to live with their married children and to assist with child-rearing and discipline issues. For which type of family should the nurse plan care for these clients? 1. Two-career family 2. Blended family 3. Intragenerational family 4. Traditional family Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: A two-career family is one where both partners are employed. Rationale 2: A blended family occurs when existing family units join together to form new families. Rationale 3: In some cultures and as people live longer, more than two generations may live together in an intragenerational setting, as described.

Cohabiting family Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. Blended family 3. Foster family 4. Intragenerational family Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Cohabiting (or communal) families consist of unrelated individuals or families that live under one roof. Reasons for cohabiting may be a need for companionship, a desire to achieve a sense of family, sharing expenses, and household management. Rationale 2: A blended family occurs when existing family units join together to form new families, also known as stepfamilies or reconstituted families.

Family communication patterns Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: An ecomap provides a visualization of how the family unit interacts with the external community— for example, schools, religious commitments, occupational duties, and recreational pursuits. Rationale 2: The health history is one of the most effective ways of identifying existing or potential health problems. A genogram will help the nurse to visualize how all family members are genetically related to each other and how patterns of chronic conditions are present within the family unit. Rationale 3: A cultural assessment will provide information about the health beliefs and health practices of a particular family.

Page Number: 389 Question 6 Type: MCSA A family struggles with clear communication, and members of the family often seek the help of other systems for personal validation and gratification. What should the nurse identify as an appropriate nursing diagnosis for this family? 1. Altered Family Processes related to communication patterns 2. Impaired Verbal Communication related to inability to communicate 3. Ineffective Family Coping evidenced by assistance from outside sources 4. Knowledge Deficiency (communication patterns) related to dysfunctional patterns of communication Correct Answer: 1

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: This describes a state in which a family with previous normal functioning experiences a dysfunction. The communication patterns have affected how the family works as a unit. Rationale 2: Impaired Verbal Communication means that the members are not able to communicate because of complications with speaking or saying the words, which is not the case in this situation. Rationale 3: Ineffective Family Coping must be related to an etiology, so this option is not worded correctly. Rationale 4: Knowledge Deficiency is not correct, as the family does recognize the problem because members of the family seek assistance from outside sources, as stated in the scenario.

Which observation indicates that there are existing or potential problems with family communication? 1. All members are participating in the discussion equally, some quite vocally. 2. The verbal communication is congruent with the nonverbal messages. 3. A few of the members just sit and listen. 4. Disagreements are not addressed among members; rather, they are ignored by the person who does the most talking. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Even though some members are more vocal, at least all are participating in the discussion.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Nonverbal communication is important because it gives valuable clues about what people are feeling. Even though some members are more vocal, at least all are participating in the discussion. Verbal communication should be congruent with nonverbal cues. Rationale 3: Listening is an art, and not all members of a family need to speak in the same setting. Rationale 4: This option describes an authoritarian setting where other members may be cautious in expressing their feelings because of power struggles, hostility, or anger. Nurses should pay special attention to who does the talking for the family, which members are silent, how disagreements are handled, and how well the members listen to one another and encourage the participation of others.

Page Number: 389 Question 8 Type: MCSA The nurse has been working with a family at the community health office and is concerned about signs of family violence. Which finding should the nurse identify as most concerning? 1. The baby always seems to have a cold. 2. One of the children never speaks and seems "on guard" when in the presence of a parent. 3. The family's clothes are relatively clean, but the children usually have some kind of dirt stain on their shirts or pants. 4. The family does not have a regular physician. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The baby may have an untreated condition, but chronic cold symptoms are not evidence of abuse. Rationale 2: A child who doesn't speak and is watchful when parents are near would be a significant indicator of a possible abuse situation. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Dirty clothes or clothes not meeting the nurse's standards are not signs of abuse—maybe for this family, appearance is not a high priority.

Page Number: 391 Question 9 Type: MCSA The nurse is performing a family risk assessment. Which factor should the nurse identify that indicates this family is at risk of developing health problems? 1. The family is an elderly couple who are active in their retirement community. 2. The family is a teenage mother and child. The mother is enrolled in parenting classes at the high school. 3. The family belongs to the local synagogue and has family members still living in Germany. 4. The family depends on two incomes with a limit on their health insurance spending. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The elderly couple is active and so is not at as high of risk simply because of age. Rationale 2: Just because the family is led by a teenage mother, even though maturity is one of the factors the nurse will assess in this situation, does not necessarily indicate that a health risk exists. Rationale 3: Tay-Sachs is a neurodegenerative disease that occurs primarily in descendants of Eastern European Jews. Simply because of this family's ethnicity, they are at risk for developing this health problem.

Page Number: 392 Question 10 Type: MCSA During a previous family assessment, the nurse realized that the mother did most of the talking and was quick to make decisions, which appeared to be acceptable to the father. When one of their children is hospitalized, the nurse should 1. make sure that both parents are involved in all decision making. 2. allow the mother to make the decisions. 3. include both parents in the decision making, but be accepting if the mother retains control. 4. make sure that the physician understands the family dynamics so parental consent comes from the mother. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The nurse uses information gained from the assessment to help diagnose, plan, and implement care. Understanding that the mother assumes the authority role in this particular family, the nurse may find it easier to address things with both present but should not be surprised if this pattern continues during the child's hospitalization. Rationale 2: The nurse should not assume that family processes will be the same in a crisis situation or during stress and will want to make sure that the father is present during the process.

Page Number: 393 Question 12 Type: MCSA A father of a family was killed in a motor vehicle crash. What should the nurse consider a "normal" reaction to this event? 1. Family disorganization may occur. 2. Family members become detached from extended family. 3. The family feels that their place in the community has been eliminated. 4. The family withdraws into seclusion during the grief process. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The death of a family member often has a profound effect on the whole family—especially if the deceased, as in this situation, was the head of the family. Family disorganization would be common, but as the family begins to recover, a new sense of normalcy develops and the family reintegrates its roles and functions. Rationale 2: Families need support from extended family members, their community, and spiritual advisers. Rationale 3: This option is not considered a "normal" pattern of family grieving, and the nurse should be alert for problems that may develop if these feelings are present. Rationale 4: Seclusion is not considered a "normal" pattern of family grieving, and the nurse should be alert for problems that may develop if this response is present.

Which characteristic does this nurse most likely possess? 1. Sound empirical knowledge 2. Sound personal knowledge 3. Sound aesthetic knowledge 4. Sound ethical knowledge Correct Answer: 4

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Empirical knowledge is systematically organized into laws and theories for the purpose of describing, explaining, and predicting phenomena. Rationale 2: Personal knowledge promotes wholeness and integrity in the personal encounter. Rationale 3: Aesthetic knowledge is the art of nursing and is expressed by the individual nurse through his or her creativity and style in meeting the needs of clients. Rationale 4: Ethical knowing focuses on matters of obligation or what ought to be done and goes beyond simply following the ethical codes of the discipline. Internal review boards review research projects and determine whether they meet sound, ethical standards. The more sensitive and knowledgeable the nurse is to these issues, the more "ethical" the nurse will be.

1. Exercising every day, at least for an hour and a half 2. Buying only fat-free foods and allowing absolutely no deviation from this 3. Balancing good nutrition and exercise in moderation 4. Exercising more on days when feeling "guilty" about a snack Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Nutrition and exercise are necessary for a healthy lifestyle, but key words to remember are balance and moderation. Exercising every day for at least an hour an half does not demonstrate balance. Rationale 2: Completely avoiding a certain nutrient or keeping the nutritional aspects of one's life so strict that there can be no variance is difficult and indicates more of a compulsive nature than a healthy one. Rationale 3: Nutrition and exercise are necessary for a healthy lifestyle, but key words to remember are balance and moderation.

The student felt like she was caught in the middle and wasn't sure how to respond to some of the questions that were being asked about care, treatment, and scheduling. Instead of getting her instructor, the student fielded these questions as best she could. In order to help the student work through this situation, the nursing instructor might advise the student to try which action? 1. Meditation 2. Guided imagery 3. Reflection 4. Music therapy Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Meditation is quieting the mind and focusing it on the present. It helps the individual release fears, worries, and doubts. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Guided imagery is a mind–body intervention that uses the power of imagination as a therapeutic tool. Rationale 3: Reflection is thinking from a critical point of view, analyzing why one acted in a certain way and assessing the results of one's actions. Reflection must be personal and meaningful. In this example, it will help the student understand how the situation could have been handled better. Rationale 4: Music therapy includes listening, singing, rhythm, and body movement.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 26 Question 1 Type: MCSA A nurse explains to a client that he will need to have a bowel prep before going to his esophagogastroscopy. On what should the nurse focus to improve communication skills? 1. Pace 2. Intonation 3. Simplicity 4. Clarity Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Pace helps indicate interest, anxiety, boredom, or fear—all of which modify the feeling and impact of the message. Rationale 2: Intonation helps indicate interest, anxiety, boredom, or fear—all of which modify the feeling and impact of the message. Rationale 3: Simplicity includes the use of commonly understood words, brevity, and completeness. A "bowel prep" may be completely meaningless to a client, but telling him that he needs to drink a gallon of laxative-like medication gets the point across better. Esophagogastroscopy is a complicated word. Using words like "small camera looking down your throat into your stomach" will make much more sense to the client.

Which aspect of communication should this nurse improve? 1. Adaptability 2. Credibility 3. Timing and relevance 4. Clarity and brevity Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Adaptability is adjusting tone of speech and facial expression to match the spoken message. Clearly, if the nurse's face doesn't match his words, the client will identify a problem with the situation. Rationale 2: Credibility means worthiness of belief, trustworthiness, and reliability. Rationale 3: Timing and relevance affect how the message is taken or heard. Rationale 4: Clarity and is preciseness and brevity is use of few words.

1. "I know you're worried about your loved one. I'm sure this is a difficult situation for you. Do you have any questions right now?" 2. "Your spouse's heart stopped.

"Is there someone you would like to call? I'm sure this is a scary situation and you may feel more comfortable if someone were with you during this time." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Dealing with the spouse's fears and concerns right now is not the priority need—the client's emergency situation is. Rationale 2: Clarity and brevity provide a message that is simple and clear. Rationale 3: In this situation, taking time to explain and/or address all of the spouse's needs and concerns is inappropriate. Not only will the client be unable to process extra information, but the nurse doesn't have time to give long, drawn-out explanations about the situation. Rationale 4: In this situation, taking time to explain and/or address all of the spouse's needs and concerns is inappropriate.

2. "Well, it's a beautiful day outside. Let's open the blinds." 3. "Has your doctor been in to talk to you yet?" 4. "You look upset. Is there anything you'd like to talk about?" Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: This option does not address the nonverbal cues. The phone off the hook should lead the nurse to at least consider that perhaps the client had an upsetting phone call. This should be addressed by the nurse. Rationale 2: This option does not address the nonverbal cues. Rationale 3: This option does not address the nonverbal cues.

As the nurse enters the room, the client asks for assistance with a shower. Which comment by the nurse is the most appropriate? 1. "If you look better, you might feel better." 2. "Taking a shower might wash away some of that gloom and doom." 3. "This is a positive sign. I'll be right back with your supplies." 4. "Your spouse will be glad to see that you're feeling better." Correct Answer: 3 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Telling the client that she might feel better if she looks better implies that the client's looks are objectionable. Rationale 2: Suggesting that washing away the "gloom and doom" minimizes the client’s concerns. Rationale 3: How a person dresses or looks may be an indicator of how the person feels. A change in grooming habits may signal that the client is feeling better. Rationale 4: A change in grooming habits may signal that the client is feeling better, but the nurse must be careful in this situation that the focus is not on the client's spouse, but on the client.

Page Number: 415 Question 6 Type: MCSA A nurse is working in a pediatric clinic and has to explain a nebulizer treatment to a child. Which approach should the nurse use? 1. Give the child's parent a full explanation, but make sure the child hears what is said. 2. Let the child handle the equipment first, then demonstrate on the child's doll. 3. Start the treatment, but make sure that the parent is there to comfort the child if she becomes afraid. 4. Make sure that the physician is available for questions. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The nurse should not talk over or around the child, just because of her age, but include her in conversation and communication. Rationale 2: The knowledge of the client's developmental stage will allow the nurse to modify the message accordingly. The use of dolls and games with simple language may help explain a procedure to a child.

Rationale 3: Before any treatment or therapy, explanation should be given. Otherwise the child will be frightened and the treatment will not be effective.

Page Number: 416 Question 7 Type: MCSA A nurse is giving a demonstration of new equipment to the rest of the nursing unit. Which level of proxemics should the nurse use? 1. Intimate 2. Personal 3. Social 4. Public Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Intimate distance is touching or up to 11/2 feet. This would be appropriate when cuddling a baby, touching a sightless client, repositioning a client, observing an incision, and restraining a toddler for an injection. Rationale 2: Personal distance is 11/2 to 4 feet and is less overwhelming than intimate distance. Much communication between nurses and clients occurs at this distance, such as sitting with a client, giving medications, or establishing an IV. Rationale 3: Social distance is characterized by a clear, visual perception of the whole person and generally 4 to 12 feet in distance. Social distance is important in accomplishing the business of the day. It is expedient in communicating with several people at the same time or within a short time, which would be the case in this situation.

Intimate distance 3. Social distance 4. Public distance Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Personal distance is 11/2 to 4 feet and is less overwhelming than intimate distance. Much communication between nurses and clients occurs at this distance, such as sitting with a client, giving medications, or establishing an IV infusion. Rationale 2: Intimate distance is characterized by body contact and used frequently by nurses when they are required to perform a procedure. Distance in this category is touching to 11/2 feet. Rationale 3: Social distance is characterized by clear visual perception of the whole person and is important in accomplishing the business of the day. Rationale 4: Public distance requires loud, clear vocalizations and is used for groups of people or in the community for presentations.

Page Number: 416 Question 9 Type: MCSA A nurse enters a client's room and asks about his level of pain. The client, grimacing, says "It's fine." Which communication factor is the client struggling with? 1. Territoriality 2. Environment 3. Congruence 4. Attitude Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Territoriality is a concept of the space and things that an individual considers as belonging to the self. Rationale 2: The environment involved in communication must be comfortable. Otherwise it may distract and impair communication. Rationale 3: In congruent communication, the verbal and nonverbal aspects of the message match. Saying his pain level is "fine," but then showing with facial grimacing that it is not, would be in conflict. Rationale 4: Attitudes can convey beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about people and events—not what is described in this scenario.

Apply appropriate communication skills required to conduct the health history interview of a client. Page Number: 418 Question 10 Type: MCSA A nurse is working with an elderly male client on a medical unit. Which statement demonstrates elderspeak by the nurse? 1. "It's time for us to go to physical therapy." 2. "I think it would be better if you were planning to go to a nursing home after discharge." 3. "Your children must really love their dad." 4. "Your wife must be having trouble adjusting to your illness." Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Elderspeak is a speech style, similar to baby, talk that gives a message of dependence and incompetence to older adults. Characteristics of elderspeak include inappropriate terms of endearment, inappropriate plural pronoun use (it's time for us to go to physical therapy), tag questions, and slow, loud speech. Rationale 2: Telling the client that he needs to go to a nursing home is insensitive. Rationale 3: Noting that the children love their father is not an example of elderspeak, but merely the nurse making observations to the client. Rationale 4: Making comments about the wife's adjustments to the illness is not an example of elderspeak, but merely the nurse making observations to the client.

Question 11 Type: MCSA A client has just lost her second baby to preterm complications. Which statement demonstrates the best therapeutic response for the nurse to make? 1. "Don't be so sad. You can always try again." 2. "Didn't your doctor advise you about genetic counseling?" 3. "I know how you feel. I have children of my own." 4. "I am so sad for you. I'll stay with you for a while if you need to talk." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The client's feelings must be validated, not dismissed. Rationale 2: Asking about genetic counseling implies that the client could have done something to possibly prevent this situation. Rationale 3: Therapeutic communication promotes understanding and is client directed. Nurses need to respond to the feelings expressed by the client. The nurse has no way of knowing how this client feels, and saying so is just insensitive. Rationale 4: Therapeutic communication promotes understanding and is client directed. Nurses need to respond to the feelings expressed by the client. Sometimes clients need time to deal with their feelings and the best thing the nurse can provide is presence and listening.

Concreteness Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The working phase has two major stages. Exploring and understanding thoughts and feelings would occur during the working relationship.

1. Thorndike's behaviorism 2. Skinner's positive reinforcement 3. Pavlov's conditioning response 4. Bandura's imitation Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Edward Thorndike originally advanced the theory of behaviorism and maintained that learning should be based on the learner's behavior. Rationale 2: Skinner focused his work on conditioning behavioral responses to a stimulus that causes the response or behavior. Rationale 3: Pavlov focused his work on conditioning behavioral responses to a stimulus that causes the response or behavior. Rationale 4: Bandura claims that most learning comes from observation and instruction. Imitation is the process by which individuals copy or reproduce what they have observed.

Page Number: 440 Question 4 Type: MCSA A nursing student is presenting a teaching project to the class using each of Bloom's domains. The student has several activities included in the project. Which activity is an example of the affective domain? 1. Each member of the class must identify two attitudinal changes that have occurred in their lives since beginning their nursing education. 2. All members must list the technical skills they've learned. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Members must demonstrate a favorite nursing skill at the end of the class period. 4. Members must read a paragraph about a new clinical trial, summarize the information, and present it to the rest of the class. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The affective domain of Bloom's theory of learning is also known as the "feeling" domain. It includes emotional responses to tasks such as feelings, emotions, interests, attitudes, and appreciations. Rationale 2: Listing technical skills and reading or summarizing information is part of the "thinking" domain, which includes knowing, comprehending, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Rationale 3: The psychomotor domain is the "skill" domain and includes hands-on motor skills such as demonstration.

Imitation Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Cognitive abilities include the "thinking" process that begins with knowing, comprehending, and applying knowledge. Rationale 2: The psychomotor domain is the "skill" domain and includes motor skills, such as being able to use an incentive spirometer. Rationale 3: The affective domain involves attitudes or emotional responses and includes feelings, emotions, interests, and appreciations.

Which client exhibits the highest motivation? 1. An individual who has been struggling with following nursing directives regarding discharge goals 2. The client who has just moved in and is already waiting for discharge 3. A client who is excited to learn about his new prosthesis 4. A client who has been there the longest and is a great "coach" for newcomers Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Clients who struggle with rules or following prescribed courses of treatment are not motivated to learn the best reason for their particular plan of action. They may be "bucking" the system.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: The client who is already waiting to go home may be motivated for that, but not to the extent of being ready to learn how to achieve this end. Rationale 3: Motivation is the desire to learn and influences how quickly and to what extent a person learns. It is generally greatest when a person recognizes a need and believes the need will be met through learning. The client who is excited to learn about his prosthesis understands that learning about it will help take his recovery to a high level.

Page Number: 441 Question 7 Type: MCSA A nurse is working in a neonatal intensive care unit, teaching parents how to care for their tiny babies while they are still in the hospital. Which statement by a parent reflects a readiness to learn? 1. "I'm so afraid I'll hurt my baby with all these tubes." 2. "I want to make sure my spouse is here, in case I don't hear everything that's said." 3. "When my baby is just a little bigger, I'll be able to handle him." 4. "You'll give us written instructions before we go home, correct?" Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Statements about fear of the situation need to be addressed so the fear will not inhibit the learning process. Rationale 2: Readiness to learn is the demonstration of behaviors or cues that reflect a learner's motivation, desire, and ability to learn at a specific time. The client who wants the spouse involved is demonstrating motivation and willingness, but also wants support from the spouse as well. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Wanting to wait until the baby is older reflects uncertainty and possibly fear and should be addressed before learning can occur.

"Next time, dart the needle in your skin, instead of pushing it in." 4. "If you don't learn this, you can't be discharged." Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Ridicule or sarcasm can lead to withdrawal from learning, as in reminding an adult client that a child can perform the task or of not being discharged until the skill is learned. Rationale 2: Statements about having somebody else learn the technique may also cause the learner to avoid the teaching moment and to avoid learning the technique altogether. Rationale 3: Feedback should be meaningful to the learner and should support the desired behavior through praise, positively worded corrections, and suggestions of alternative methods. Rationale 4: Ridicule or sarcasm can lead to withdrawal from learning, as in reminding an adult client that a child can perform the task or of not being discharged until the skill is learned.

Page Number: 442 Question 9 Type: MCSA A home health client having difficulty keeping his medication schedule organized says "There are so many pills and the names are all confusing to me. I don't even understand what they're for." What should the nurse do? 1. Help the client remember color and size in relationship to dosing time. 2. Write out the generic and trade name of all the pills for the client. 3. Fill a pill bar and tell the client not to worry, and just take the pills according to that system. 4. Have the physician talk to the client about his medications. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Learning is facilitated by material that is logically organized and proceeds from the simple to the complex. This helps the learner comprehend new information, apply it to previous learning, and form new understandings. Naming the pills by color and size and dosing time helps the client move from that level to learning what each medication is for and why he is taking it—simple to complex. Rationale 2: Learning generic and trade names is memorization and may not make sense for this client. Rationale 3: Filling a pill box or bar is not helping the client learn about his meds; it merely puts them into an order without information. Rationale 4: Nurses must rely on their own creativity and resourcefulness, not depend on physician input.

Page Number: 442 Question 10 Type: MCSA At the end of a busy clinical day a staff nurse asks the instructor if a student would like to administer a Z-track injected medication. This is a skill that the students have not yet been exposed to yet. What should the instructor respond to the staff nurse that supports timing and learning environment? 1. "It will take me a moment to explain the procedure to the students because we've not practiced this, but I'll find somebody to administer it." 2. "Would it be OK if the students observed today? Then, we'll do it next time we're here." 3. "We're leaving now, but thanks for asking." 4. "I'll check with the students and see if one of them would like to volunteer." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: After a busy day in the clinical area, students may not be ready for the learning experience, even though it would be a good opportunity for them. Taking time to explain the procedure first might put the learning moment in the wrong time and environment, and the students may not retain the information as best they could. Rationale 2: Allowing them to observe the staff nurse, then coming back when they are more refreshed would allow a better learning experience for the students. Rationale 3: Simply declining the opportunity doesn't make for good rapport with the staff nurse. Rationale 4: Allowing a student to simply volunteer puts the instructor's license at risk, especially if it is a skill the student has not learned or practiced.

"Let's make sure my spouse is around before you start explaining." 3. "I wish my doctor would have explained this more in depth." 4. "I'm feeling nauseous, but go ahead and start anyway." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: This statement shows interest as well as realism in attitude toward learning. The nurse should be attentive to cues that may enhance the learning experience, such as amount of time spent on the process. Rationale 2: This statement shows interest as well as realism in attitude toward learning. The nurse should be attentive to cues that may enhance the learning experience, such as having the spouse available to learn along with the client. Rationale 3: This statement shows interest as well as realism in attitude toward learning. The nurse should be attentive to cues that may enhance the learning experience, such as giving thorough explanations about the rationale for the treatment. Rationale 4: Learning can be inhibited by physiologic events such as illness, pain, or sensory deficits. The client must be able to concentrate and apply adequate energy to the learning or the learning itself will be impaired. If the client is experiencing nausea, the nurse should first try to reduce this symptom before beginning the teaching session.

Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: It is important to provide written material, but the first priority is ascertaining any belief conflicts that may interfere with the treatment. Rationale 2: If the prescribed treatment conflicts with the client/family's cultural healing beliefs, the client may not be compliant with the recommended treatments. To be effective, nurses must deal directly with any conflicts and differing values held by the client. Rationale 3: If the prescribed treatment conflicts with the client/family's cultural healing beliefs, the client may not be compliant with the recommended treatments. Rationale 4: The client who does not understand will learn little, and providing an interpreter to assist with communication is extremely important in this situation.

What is the best way for the nurse to assist this client? 1. Teach the spouse to draw up the medication, then the client can give the injection. 2. Make sure that the injection is scheduled during a visit, so the nurse can supervise. 3. Prefill syringes with the correct dose, so the client can use them for self-administration. 4. Schedule the client's clinic appointments in accordance with the dosing schedule, then give the injection when the client is at the clinic. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Teaching a spouse is demeaning and does not support the client's wishes for independence. Rationale 2: Scheduling injections and visits to coincide is demeaning and does not support the client's wishes for independence. Rationale 3: Clients who have visual impairment may need the assistance of a support person or creative care in order to remain compliant with their treatment. Because the client insists on self-administration, prefilling syringes (and keeping them away from light and heat) would be a plausible solution. The client is concerned with independence, and allowing the client to maintain that would be quite important.

A client being discharged after a myocardial infarction has been prescribed several new medications and a low-fat diet. The client states: "I'm never going to understand what to do, when to do it, and why I should be doing all these things." Which nursing diagnosis should the nurse formulate for this client? 1. Health-Seeking Behavior related to desire to prevent heart problems 2. Deficient Knowledge (diet and medication regimen) related to inexperience 3. Noncompliance related to situational factors 4. Risk for Myocardial Infarction related to deficient knowledge Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Health-Seeking Behavior is a diagnostic label used when the client is seeking health information. Rationale 2: The NANDA label Deficient Knowledge is used when the client is seeking health information or when the nurse has identified a learning need, as in this case. The area of deficiency (diet and medication regimen) should always be included in the diagnosis. Rationale 3: Noncompliance is used when the client or caregiver fails to follow a plan, which is too early to tell in this case. Rationale 4: Risk for Myocardial Infarction is not a NANDA label.

4. Client will have a positive attitude about the diagnosis by the end of the month. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Learning outcomes state the client behavior and are ranked according to priority. Nurses can use theoretical frameworks such as Maslow's hierarchy of needs to establish priorities. In this case, the physiological need of learning how to administer medication takes priority over activity and attitudinal needs. Rationale 2: This outcome cannot be measured.

Page Number: 452 Question 20 Type: MCSA The nurse is going to be working with a client who has a permanent colostomy and is ready to go home within the next several days. When organizing the teaching/learning experience, the nurse should 1. start from the beginning and proceed through all material. 2. break up sessions into shortened time periods. 3. discover what the learner knows before proceeding with further teaching. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. make sure the client's spouse is present before the teaching session begins. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Going over information already taught and learned isn't practicing good time management for the nurse or the client. Rationale 2: Unless the client has attention problems or may be elderly, breaking up the sessions may not be necessary. Rationale 3: Nurses should save time in constructing their own teaching sessions and should follow basic guidelines when sequencing the learning experience. The nurse should find out what the learner knows, and then proceed to the unknown. This gives the learner confidence. This information can be elicited either by asking questions or by having the client take a pretest or fill out a form.

Page Number: 453 Question 21 Type: MCSA A client needs discharge teaching regarding the use of a walker before going home. The client's room is small and adjacent to a soda machine and small lounge area. In planning a teaching session, which is the best thing the nurse can do? 1. Wait until just prior to discharge, then do the teaching in the hospital lobby. 2. Close the door to the client's room and make sure there is no clutter on the floor before the teaching session begins. 3. Take the client to a larger area (treatment room, for example) for teaching, then evaluate on the way back to the client's room. 4. Make sure a physical therapist is available to do the teaching and can see the client before discharge. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Noise or interruptions can interfere with concentration, whereas a comfortable environment can promote learning. The hospital lobby does not provide privacy and can be noisy. There also would be little time to reinforce any teaching needs that might be necessary. Rationale 2: Noise or interruptions can interfere with concentration, whereas a comfortable environment can promote learning. Rationale 3: Going to a larger area and then evaluating the learning by watching the client ambulate back to the room would be the best way to implement teaching in this particular situation. Rationale 4: Not all hospitals have a physical therapist available to help implement teaching for clients.

Page Number: 454 Question 22 Type: MCSA A community health nurse runs a clinic that provides health screening to mainly Mexican American and Native American clients. The nurse wants to have a class on smoking cessation for interested adults of this group. In order to adjust to their time orientation, what is the best action of the nurse? 1. Make sure that the classes are held at specific times. 2. Begin classes when a group of clients are gathered. 3. Mail letters ahead of time to make sure clients are informed about the upcoming class. 4. Make posters and place them in areas of the community frequented by these groups. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Cultures with a predominant orientation to the present include the Mexican American and Navajo Native American. Schedules have to be very flexible in present-oriented societies. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: The nurse must be quite flexible, treat the culture's beliefs with respect, and not expect that cultural practices will change to reflect the nurse's needs. Rationale 3: Time constraints are not significant for cultures that are oriented to the present, so advertising about specific classes may not be effective.

Page Number: 457 Question 23 Type: MCSA At the completion of a teaching session, the nurse wants to evaluate the effectiveness of instruction. In a situation where the client was learning a bandaging technique, which would be the most effective evaluation? 1. Shared by the nurse and client 2. A return demonstration by the client 3. When the nurse is satisfied that the client can complete the technique 4. If the wound heals Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Both the client and the nurse should evaluate the learning experience. The client can tell the nurse what was helpful and provide a demonstration that shows mastery of the skill. The nurse needs to evaluate whether the client has an understanding of the rationale behind the technique. Rationale 2: Using only the return demonstration is one sided. The evaluation is of the bandaging technique, and it may or may not be covering a wound. Rationale 3: Focusing on the nurse's satisfaction with the client's performance is one sided.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: The democratic leader encourages group discussion and decision making, provides constructive criticism, offers information, makes suggestions, and asks questions. Rationale 2: The permissive leader recognizes the group's need for autonomy and self-regulation by assuming a "hands-off" approach. Allowing the group to come to its own decision and then accepting that decision reflects the style of a permissive leader. Rationale 3: The bureaucratic leader relies on the organization's rules, policies, and procedures to direct the group's work efforts.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 29 Question 1 Type: MCSA An older client has an oral temperature reading of 97.2 degrees F. The nurse realizes that this client’s low temperature could be due to which observation? 1. The anxiety level of the client has increased. 2. Hormones have fluctuated in this client. 3. Muscle activity has increased during the client's therapy session. 4. Loss of subcutaneous fat is noted. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: If a client is anxious or stressed, this response stimulates the sympathetic nervous system. This in turn increases the production of epinephrine and norepinephrine, which increases metabolic and heat production, causing the temperature to rise. Rationale 2: Women experience more hormonal fluctuations than men, and this is usually true with the secretion of progesterone at the time of ovulation. Because this client is older, hormone fluctuations and ovulation will not impact the temperature. Rationale 3: Exercise, which represents hard work or strenuous activity, increases body temperature. That is not the case with this client. No reference has been made to a therapy session, and the temperature is decreased. Rationale 4: This client is older and research shows that older people are at risk for hypothermia. When one ages, subcutaneous fat is lost.

Assess that the equipment used is working properly. 2. Place the client in a position that is most comfortable for the health care provider. 3. Take the temperature with a chemical disposable thermometer when the client is perspiring. 4. Wait at least 10 minutes before taking the temperature after a client has been smoking. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: If the equipment is not working properly, no accuracy will be obtained in the readings. Rationale 2: The type of equipment or method that is chosen will dictate client position, not the position of the health care provider. Rationale 3: If the equipment is not working properly, no accuracy will be obtained in the readings. The type of equipment or method that is chosen will dictate client position, not the position of the health care provider.

Question 3 Type: MCSA The nurse needs to measure the temperature of a client who has a history of heart disease and has eaten a bowl of vegetable soup 45 minutes ago. Which site should the nurse use? 1. Axilla 2. Oral 3. Popliteal 4. Rectal Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The axilla is the preferred site for newborns, not adults. Rationale 2: Body temperature is frequently measured orally even if the client has eaten or drank something cold or hot. One only needs to wait 30 minutes, and then this site can be used. Rationale 3: The popliteal site would not be used given the history of heart disease. There could be circulatory issues that might affect accurate reading because this site is much farther away from the heart. Rationale 4: The rectal site would be contraindicated in this client given the history of heart disease. With the diagnosis of heart disease, the nurse would need to assess for the presence of hemorrhoids.

While waiting for the physician to respond regarding a client’s elevated temperature, what can the nurse do to assist the client? 1. Bathe the client with ice water. 2. Give the client an antipyretic. 3. Increase fluid intake. 4. Lower the room temperature. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Bathing the client in ice water would lower the client's temperature too fast, possibly causing hypothermia. Rationale 2: Giving a client an antipyretic requires a doctor's order. Rationale 3: Elevated body temperature contributes to dehydration, which leads to body tissues drying out and malfunctioning. Rehydrating the client's tissues will allow the temperature to return to normal.

However, the extremity is warm and pink with nail beds blanching at 2 to 3 seconds of capillary refilling time. How would the nurse explain these findings? 1. A change in the client's health status has occurred. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. The client has thrown a blood clot in that extremity. 3. The RN's watch has stopped working. 4. Too much pressure was applied over the pulse site. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The information provided gives no indication that any health change has occurred. Rationale 2: The assessment data given (warm, pink, etc.) are not symptoms of a blood clot. Rationale 3: There is no data given in regard to equipment malfunction, such as the nurse’s watch. Rationale 4: Too firm of pressure on a pulse site will obliterate that pulse because assessing the dorsalis pedis pulse requires one to apply some pressure over the dorsalis pedis artery, making contact with the cones in the foot.

Which nursing intervention would be most appropriate for the nurse to use? 1. Ask another nurse to assess the pulses. 2. Document the findings. 3. Obtain a Doppler ultrasound stethoscope. 4. Wait and try again later. Correct Answer: 3 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: If one nurse is having difficulty with the pulse and accuracy, getting another nurse is not going to be the best choice. Rationale 2: Just documenting the findings does not address the problem of getting an accurate pulse reading. Rationale 3: Obtaining a Doppler ultrasound stethoscope is the appropriate action to take. The Doppler will ensure accuracy by helping to exclude environmental sounds.

Page Number: 489 Question 8 Type: MCSA The nurse is going to assess the apical-radial pulse of a client with a cardiovascular disorder. Which rationale did the RN use to make this decision? 1. A forceful radial pulse is much too difficult to count correctly. 2. Both arteriole and venous sounds were heard simultaneously. 3. The pulse was bounding and easily obliterated. 4. The thrust of blood from the heart is too feeble for the wave to be felt at the peripheral pulse site. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: A forceful radial pulse would be ideal for assessing a client's peripheral pulse. Rationale 2: Arteriole and venous sounds would be detected when using the Doppler, but there is no indication for Doppler use given this situation. Rationale 3: A bounding pulse is not easily obliterated. Rationale 4: Knowing there is a history of a cardiovascular disorder would alert the RN to the importance of the utmost accuracy for the client's pulse assessment. The apical-radial pulse is used to assess this type of client due to the feebleness of the wave of blood flow felt at the peripheral sites.

2. Continue to suction but only intermittently. 3. Keep the catheter in place and wait a few minutes. 4. Stop suctioning and give supplemental oxygen. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Allowing the client to take a few deep breaths will help but not quickly enough to compensate for the hypoxia experienced. Rationale 2: Continuing to suction continuously or intermittently will only decrease the saturation levels more. Rationale 3: Leaving the catheter in place obstructs air flow, thus compromising an already poor situation. Rationale 4: Not only does suctioning remove secretions, but it also removes the client's air. By stopping suctioning, the RN stops removing both.

Page Number: 509 Question 19 Type: MCSA The RN needs vital signs assessed for four clients. Which client should the nurse address and not assign to the UAP? 1. Cardiac catheterization client returning to the nursing unit 2. COPD client on 2 Lpm oxygen via nasal cannula 3. Pneumonia client nearing discharge 4. Post-op client of 2 days from gallbladder surgery Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The cardiac catheterization client will need a thorough assessment because she is just returning to the nursing unit. Invasive procedures, such as a catheterization, will need to be closely assessed. More than likely a Doppler will be needed to ensure the pedal pulse is present and stable in the extremity used during the procedure. Unlicensed personnel are not usually delegated Doppler ultrasound device use. Rationale 2: The COPD client is a chronic condition client, and her vital signs would be considered routine. Rationale 3: The client with pneumonia nearing discharge would be considered medically stable. Therefore, assisting this client is within the UAP’s capability. Rationale 4: The client who is 2 days post-op from gallbladder surgery would be considered medically stable. Therefore, assisting this client is within the UAP’s capability.

Page Number: 636 Question 3 Type: MCSA The nurse is reviewing the care needs for a group of assigned clients. Which client should the nurse recognize as being most at risk for a nosocomial infection? 1. A client in the emergency department with abdominal pain 2. A 19-year-old woman in her first trimester of pregnancy 3. A 72-year-old male client with COPD 4. An 86-year-old female client on steroid therapy Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: A client in the emergency department with abdominal pain has just arrived in the facility, and not enough time has elapsed for this client to be considered to have a nosocomial infection. If this client has an infection, it would be community acquired. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: The 19-year-old female who is pregnant is at a low risk. Rationale 3: The 72-year-old male with COPD is at a lower risk for infection than the 82-year-old because the older client has a weakened immune system because of taking steroids. Rationale 4: The client most at risk for a nosocomial infection is the client who is 86 years old and on steroid therapy. The very old and very young are most susceptible to infections. The 86-year-old client is also on steroid therapy, which compromises the immune system.

What instruction is the most important for the nurse to give this client who has a surgical wound? 1. Adjust the diet so it contains more fruits and vegetables. 2. Apply lubricating lotion to the edges of the wound. 3. Notify the physician of any edema, heat, or tenderness at the wound site. 4. Thoroughly irrigate the wound with hydrogen peroxide. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Increasing intake of fruits and vegetables would increase vitamin C, which helps with wound healing, but more protein would be the best choice. Rationale 2: Applying lubricating lotion to the edges of a wound would impede the healing process. Rationale 3: A client being discharged with an open surgical wound has to be instructed on the detection of infection because the skin is the first line of defense. Signs such as edema, heat, and tenderness would indicate a local infection. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Raise the temperature in the client's room. 3. Wash hands. 4. Wear a mask for all client care. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Assessing vital signs is important but should occur more frequently than once daily. Rationale 2: Raising the temperature in a client's room would contribute to the growth of microorganisms. Rationale 3: Washing hands is always the first and best way to stop the spread of microorganisms, which cause infections. Rationale 4: Wearing a mask for all clients is not practical and is unnecessary unless a microorganism is airborne and the client is in isolation.

Cover the mouth and nose when sneezing. 2. Place contaminated linens in a paper bag. 3. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) sparingly. 4. Wear gloves at all times. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Covering the mouth and nose when sneezing prevents airborne droplets from escaping into the air for others to contract in the chain of infection. Rationale 2: Placing linens in a paper bag would allow germs to come out through the bag, and the linen would act as a fomite, thus allowing the chain to continue.

Allow the water to splatter forcibly when it is turned on. 2. Clean the faucet after use. 3. Hold the hands upward under the faucet. 4. Use approximately a teaspoon of soap. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: When the water is turned on, it should be adjusted so it does not splatter even if the flow is not very forceful. Rationale 2: Cleaning the faucet after use would defeat the whole purpose of washing the hands. If the sink needs cleaning, clean it before washing the hands. Rationale 3: Holding the hands upward under the faucet is incorrect. They should be held downward so the soap, germs, and water are washed downward from the hands and down the sink.

As a member of the safety committee, the nurse’s task is to identify actions to prevent falls within the organization. Which intervention should the nurse emphasize as important to prevent falls? 1. Display the phone number to the nurses' station. 2. Keep electrical cords under the bed. 3. Keep the environment tidy. 4. Read label directions. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Displaying the phone number to the nurses’ station is a way to call for help. Rationale 2: Electrical cords should only be used if necessary, and the maintenance department can help if any of them present a hazard. Rationale 3: Keeping the environment tidy and free of clutter will go a long way in preventing falls.

Which intervention should the nurse identify as a way to prevent this client from falling? 1. Check vision every 5 years. 2. Exercise regularly. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Place socks on feet. 4. Turn the light on after getting out of bed. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Vision can be a cause of falls, but it should be checked at least once a year; every 5 years is not often enough. Rationale 2: The client needs to exercise regularly to maintain strength, flexibility, mobility, and balance, which prevents falls. Rationale 3: Older clients should have something on their feet when walking, but not socks that will allow them to fall. A nonskid-type sock or shoe will help prevent falls. Rationale 4: The client should be able to turn the light on before getting out of bed, as inadequate lighting is another cause for falls.

Page Number: 651 Question 9 Type: MCSA The mother of a 2-year-old expresses concern to the nurse that her child continually climbs out of the crib at home. What should the nurse advise the mother to do? 1. Omit the afternoon nap. 2. Place a crib net over the top of the crib. 3. Remove all objects from around the crib. 4. Restrain the child if he gets up more than once. Correct Answer: 2 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: A child of 2 years should still be taking a nap, and that poses a dangerous situation, at naptime or bedtime, if the child is still crawling out of the crib. Rationale 2: A crib net will prevent an active child from climbing out of the crib but will allow him freedom to move about in the crib. Rationale 3: Just removing objects off the floor from around the crib would not prevent a child from climbing out of a crib. Rationale 4: Restraining the child would be dangerous and contribute even more to his determination of getting out of the crib.

What should the nurse do to help this client? 1. Insert a tongue blade into the client's mouth. 2. Loosen any clothing around the neck and chest. 3. Restrain the client. 4. Turn the client to the supine position if possible. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Research has found that more injury can occur to the client if the caregiver tries to place anything in the mouth during the seizure. Rationale 2: Loosening any clothing around the neck and chest prevents constriction that might occur during the seizure that could compromise the airway. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: A client should never be restrained during a seizure. The nurse should stay with the client and call for assistance, if needed. Rationale 4: If possible, the client should be turned to the lateral position, not supine, to allow for any secretions to drain out of the mouth.

Client needed to use the bathroom and waited for help but didn’t want to soil the bed and fell while attempting to walk to the bathroom. 4. Client does not want to stay in bed but wants to sit in the lounge with others. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Restraints cannot be used for the convenience of the care staff. Rationale 2: In this situation, the client’s actions could hinder his or her health status and a restraint would be indicated. Rationale 3: This situation would not call for the client to be restrained. The care staff needs to be more attentive to the client’s needs. Rationale 4: This client would not be a candidate for restraints. Global Rationale: Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Assess the restraints every 10 minutes. 2. Pad bony prominences. 3. Secure the restraint to the side rail. 4. Tie the restraint with a square knot. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The restraints should be assessed according to agency policy but no less frequently than every 2 hours. Rationale 2: Padding bony prominences will prevent possible skin breakdown. Rationale 3: Restraints are never tied to a side rail. The ends should be secured to the part of the bed that moves to elevate the head. Rationale 4: When a restraint is secured in place, a clove-hitch knot should be used, not a square knot.

1. Assign this client to the farthest room from the nurses' station. 2. Place a rocking chair in the client’s room. 3. Pull up all of the side rails on the bed. 4. Wedge pillows against the side rails on the bed. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Assigning the client to the farthest room from the nurses' station would be an unsafe move for the client; closer would be safer than farther. Rationale 2: Placing a rocking chair in the client's room will help her to expend some of her energy so that she will be less inclined to walk and wander. Rationale 3: Pulling up all of the side rails is a restraint, so that action would not be an alternative.

The client will take his medication as desired. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The client may resent limitations and act out in such a way as to cause injury. Rationale 2: Establishing a buddy system provides social contact, safeguards against abuse, and offers respite for caregivers. It also provides a way for elders to be checked up on daily. Rationale 3: Making uninformed choices about one's health would be unsafe instead of safe for the client.

Which situation could pose a threat to one client's personal hygiene? 1. A client has a newly formed ileostomy. 2. A client performs meticulous foot care. 3. A German client refuses to bathe everyday. 4. The room temperature is set at 72°F. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Some of the factors that influence one's personal hygiene are social practices, body image, knowledge of physical condition, and cultural variables. A client who has had an ileostomy has had a body image change, which can greatly influence whether he will care for it or rely on others. This can pose a threat if the client chooses not to care for it. Rationale 2: Performing meticulous foot care does not pose a threat to one's hygiene. Rationale 3: Bathing every other day does not pose a threat to one's hygiene. Rationale 4: Room temperature of 72°F does not pose a threat to one's hygiene.

The nurse should plan for the client to receive which type of bath? 1. Shower 2. Tub 3. Partial 4. Complete Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: A shower would not permit the medication to be in contact with the client’s skin long enough. Rationale 2: Therapeutic baths are given for physical effects, such as to soothe irritated skin or to treat an area. Medications may be placed in the water. A therapeutic bath is generally taken in a tub one-third or one-half full. The client remains in the bath for a designated time, often 20 to 30 minutes. If the client’s back, chest, and arms are to be treated, these areas need to be immersed in the solution. Rationale 3: A partial bath would not permit the medication to be in contact with the client’s skin long enough.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. BNP 2. CBC 3. LDH 4. PKU Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The specific blood test to detect and guide treatment for heart failure is the BNP test. B-type natriuretic peptide is secreted primarily by the left ventricle in response to increased ventricular volume and pressure. Rationale 2: A CBC is a complete blood count, which includes hemoglobin and hematocrit measurements, erythrocyte (red blood cells) count, leukocyte (white blood cell) count, red blood cell indices, and a differential white cell count. Rationale 3: This test measures the amount of the enzyme lactic dehydrogenase in the body. Rationale 4: This is a test to assess for phenylketonuria in the newborn.

Blood chemistry 2. Capillary blood glucose Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Hemoglobin A1c 4. Serum electrolytes Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: A blood chemistry is a number of tests performed on blood serum. It can include LDH, CK, and AST. Rationale 2: The capillary blood glucose is used to determine or monitor blood glucose levels of clients at one point in time but not over time. Rationale 3: The glycosylated hemoglobin or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a measurement of blood glucose that is bound to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin A1c is a reflection of how well blood glucose levels have been controlled. Rationale 4: Serum electrolytes are often routinely ordered for any client admitted to a hospital as a screening test for electrolyte and acid–base imbalances. The most commonly ordered serum tests are for sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate ions.

The client punctures the fingertip. 2. The client puts on gloves. 3. The client smears the blood on the reagent strip. 4. The client washes the hands. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Once the appropriate site is selected for puncture, the side of the finger is used where there are fewer nerve endings. Rationale 2: Because the client is performing self-blood glucose monitoring, applying gloves is not necessary. Rationale 3: Once the specimen is obtained, one holds the reagent strip under the puncture site until enough blood covers the indicator square. It is not smeared on the pad, which would cause an inaccurate reading. Rationale 4: One of the first steps the client would perform is hand washing for infection control.

Page Number: 726 Question 5 Type: MCSA A client asks the nurse, "Why do I have to monitor my blood glucose levels?" What is an appropriate response from the nurse? 1. "Because your doctor ordered it." 2. "If I were you, I would monitor the blood glucose when I didn't feel good." 3. "Monitoring your blood glucose better enables you to manage your diabetes." 4. "You can eat anything you want." Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: "Because your doctor ordered it" is not a good enough reason. Rationale 2: The nurse should never tell a client what he or she would do; that is only an opinion. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Blood glucose monitoring improves diabetes management. By testing one's blood, one can change the insulin regimen to maintain a normal glycemic range.

Collect the first voided specimen in the morning. 3. Keep the specimen on ice. 4. Void in a sterile cup. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: At least 10 mL of urine is generally sufficient for a routine urinalysis. Rationale 2: Routine urine examination is usually performed on the first voided specimen in the morning because it tends to have a higher, more uniform concentration and a more acidic pH than specimens later in the day.

What should the nurse have the client do? 1. Apply sterile gloves. 2. Clear the throat. 3. Cough to bring up secretions. 4. Rinse the mouth with mouthwash prior to the collection. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The client does not need to put on sterile gloves. The only thing that has to remain sterile is the inside of the collecting container. Rationale 2: Clearing the throat will not help produce the sputum; the client has to cough. Rationale 3: Clients need to cough to bring sputum up from the lungs, bronchi, and trachea into the mouth in order to expectorate the specimen into a collecting container. Rationale 4: The client is allowed to use mouthwash after the collection but not before because the antiseptic could alter the results. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Page Number: 739 Question 18 Type: MCSA A client is having a lumbar puncture. In which position should the nurse place the client? 1. Lateral with head bent toward the chest and knees flexed onto the abdomen 2. Lying prone, with the knees drawn up toward the abdomen 3. Sitting bent over from the waist with legs extended 4. Supine with knees pulled toward the chest Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Lying in the lateral position with the head bent toward the chest and knees flexed onto the abdomen is the correct position for a lumbar puncture. In this position the back is arched, increasing the spaces between the vertebrae so that the spinal needle can be readily inserted. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Lying prone with knees down toward the abdomen would position the client too high for the physician and could lead to increased intracranial pressure. Rationale 3: Sitting would not arch the back enough to increase the space between the vertebrae for puncture.

A catheter will be inserted into the bladder. 2. A liver biopsy will be done. 3. An abdominal paracentesis will be done. 4. A thoracentesis will be done. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Inserting a catheter into the bladder will only relieve urine, not the accumulation of fluid in the abdomen. Rationale 2: A liver biopsy is performed to obtain a sample of the liver, not to remove fluid. Rationale 3: An abdominal paracentesis is performed to remove ascites, which relieves pressure on the abdominal organs.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 35 Question 1 Type: MCSA The nurse is preparing to administer a medication that the agency designates as "high alert." What action should the nurse take? 1. Ask another registered nurse to verify the medication. 2. Call the pharmacist to check the efficacy of the medication. 3. Decline to administer the medication unless there is a physician present. 4. Request that the nursing supervisor administer the medication. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Most health care agencies maintain a list of high-alert medications, including controlled substances, which require the verification of two registered nurses. Rationale 2: Although the pharmacy is a valuable resource for nurses, the "high-alert" designation does not require pharmacy intervention. Rationale 3: High-alert medications do not require the presence of a physician for administration. Rationale 4: High-alert medications do not require the presence of a nursing supervisor for administration.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. The hospital has placed MS on its list of do-not-use abbreviations. 2. The Joint Commission requires that the abbreviation MS not be used. 3. Using the abbreviation MS puts the client at risk of medication error. 4. Computerized charting systems will not accept the abbreviation MS. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Although the hospital has probably placed MS on its list of do-not-use abbreviations, The Joint Commission does require that the abbreviation not be used. Rationale 2: The Joint Commission does require that the abbreviation not be used; however ,client safety is the primary reason. Rationale 3: The best answer is that using the abbreviation MS puts the client at risk of medication error. Rationale 4: Although some computerized charting systems will not accept the abbreviation MS, the best reason is for client safety.

Page Number: 760 Question 3 Type: MCSA The hospitalized client has an order for Tylenol 325 mg 2 tablets every 4 hours prn temperature over 101°F. The client complains of a headache. Can the nurse legally administer Tylenol to treat the headache? 1. Yes, as Tylenol is used both for fever and headache. 2. No, not unless the client also has a temperature over 101°F. 3. Yes, but the nurse should document the reason why the medication was administered as a temperature elevation. 4. Yes, because the medication is available over the counter, an order is not required. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: In the hospital setting, the nurse can only administer medications that are prescribed for the client and can only administer those medications according to the specifics of the prescription. In this case, the medication was ordered for temperature elevation, not pain, so the nurse cannot legally administer the Tylenol to treat the client's headache. Rationale 2: In the hospital setting, the nurse can only administer medications that are prescribed for the client and can only administer those medications according to the specifics of the prescription. In this case, the medication was ordered for temperature elevation, not pain, so the nurse cannot legally administer the Tylenol to treat the client's headache. Rationale 3: The nurse should never document false information in regard to medication administration.

Administer the medication as it was ordered. 2. Check to see if previous shift nurses gave the medication. 3. Collaborate with the prescriber about the order. 4. Administer only the standard dose of the medication. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Administering the dose as ordered may harm the client. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: The fact that previous nurses gave the medication as ordered does not make it the correct action. Rationale 3: When the nurse has doubts about the correctness of a medication or medication dose for a specific client, collaboration with the prescriber is necessary. The nurse is legally and ethically responsible for all actions taken, including medication administration.

Give the dosage supplied by the pharmacy. 3. Verify that the dosage is within the safe range for this child. 4. Administer no more than one-half of the safe adult dosage. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: This dose should be compared to the standard dose listed in a reputable drug reference book. Rationale 2: Although prescribers and pharmacists are also responsible to figure the correct dose, the nurse who administers the dose is the last possible person to prevent a medication error. The nurse has the final responsibility to ensure that the dose ordered and dose supplied are correct for the client. Rationale 3: The priority action is to verify that the dosage is within the safe range for this child.

1. Administer the medication as ordered. 2. Initial the MAR that the medication will be given. 3. Double check the client's identification using a second method. 4. Educate the client regarding the medication to be given. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: This nurse should employ a second method to verify the client's identification. Rationale 2: The MAR will be initialed after the medication has been given. Rationale 3: The Joint Commission's National Safety Goals require a two-step check of client identification prior to the administration of medications. This nurse should employ a second method to verify the client's identification.

Get another nurse to assist by holding the client down. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Medication should not be placed in essential foods such as orange juice or milk, as the child may develop an aversion to the food related to the taste of the medication. Rationale 2: Being untruthful about any interventions may cause the client to lose trust in the nurse. Rationale 3: Parents are a very good source of ideas for caring for their child, and their input should be sought when performing tasks such as medication administration. Rationale 4: Having a second nurse hold the client down to administer the medication is an unnecessary use of force and will frighten the child.

How should the nurse instruct the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) who is also caring for this client? 1. Have the UAP assess for any unexpected effects from the medication. 2. Tell the UAP to teach the client's family what to expect from the medication. 3. Have the UAP look the medication up in a drug reference book to read about drug actions and possible side effects. 4. Give the UAP specific instructions regarding what drug actions or side effects to report to the nurse. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The UAP does not have the skills or legal responsibility to assess the client. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: It is the nurse's responsibility to teach the client or family about the medications. Rationale 3: The nurse should not expect that the UAP can determine from the drug reference book what drug actions and possible side effects are pertinent to this client. Rationale 4: The nurse should give the UAP specific instructions about what drug actions or side effects should be reported to the nurse.

How should the nurse administer these medications? 1. Flush the tube, mix the crushed tablet and the capsule powder into the two liquids for administration, and follow by flushing the tube. 2. Mix the crushed tablet and capsule powder in warm water and administer. Flush the tube and administer the mixed liquids. 3. Flush the tube with the mixed liquids first, then administer the crushed tablet and capsule powder mixed in cold water. 4. Mix the crushed tablet and capsule powder individually in warm water. Administer each medication separately, flushing the tube before and after each administration. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Mixing medications together may result in a chemical reaction that occludes the tube. Rationale 2: Mixing medications together may result in a chemical reaction that occludes the tube. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Mixing medications together may result in a chemical reaction that occludes the tube. Rationale 4: When giving medication via a nasogastric or gastric tube, the nurse should individually prepare and administer the medications, flushing the tube before and after each administration.

Insert the needle further into the skin at a deeper angle. 4. Turn the needle so that the bevel is down and inject the medication slowly, looking for development of a bleb. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Intradermal injections are given at a very shallow angle so that the medication is delivered into the area between the dermal layers. When properly given, the outline of the needle bevel will be visible prior to injection of the fluid. Rationale 2: There is no need to withdraw the needle and start again. Rationale 3: Inserting the needle further into the skin and at a deeper angle would result in delivery of the fluid into the subcutaneous tissues.

Page Number: 792 Question 14 Type: MCSA The nurse has just injected insulin subcutaneously into the client's abdomen. What action should the nurse take at this point? 1. Massage the site to encourage absorption. 2. Leave the needle embedded in the client's skin for 5 seconds after administration. 3. Remove the needle rapidly by pulling it quickly from the skin. 4. Cover the injection site with a pressure dressing for at least 15 minutes or until the bleb disappears. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Massage is contraindicated for most medications because it alters the delivery rate from the tissues. Rationale 2: The American Diabetes Association recommends leaving the needle embedded in the client's skin for 5 seconds after injection of medication, particularly insulin. This allows for complete delivery of the dose. Rationale 3: The needle should be removed slowly and smoothly to minimize pain for the client. Rationale 4: Bleeding rarely occurs after subcutaneous injection, but short application of manual pressure (1–3 minutes) should cause bleeding to stop. There is no need for a pressure dressing for 15 minutes. Subcutaneous injections do not result in bleb formation.

Type: MCSA The nurse who is to administer 2.5 mL of intramuscular pain medication to an adult client notes that the previous injection was administered in the right ventrogluteal site. In which site should the nurse plan to administer this injection? 1. The same site 2. The deltoid 3. The left ventrogluteal 4. The rectus femoris Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The same site should not be used because this is not enough time for tissue recovery. Rationale 2: The deltoid site will not accept 2.5 mL of medication. Rationale 3: Of the options given, the best choice is the left ventrogluteal. This is a site that will accept 2.5 mL of medication, and using the opposite site from the last injection will allow the first site time for recovery.

2. Inject the medication as planned. 3. Notify the physician immediately. 4. Discard the medication and start over. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Simply pulling out the needle 1/4 inch does not guarantee that the needle point is not in a vessel, and the presence of blood in the syringe prevents checking the new site. Rationale 2: Blood return in the syringe barrel after aspiration indicates a strong probability that the needle tip is in a blood vessel. Injection of medication would then be intravenous, not intramuscular. Rationale 3: There is no need to notify the physician of this event.

Briskly shake the IV bag after injecting the medication. Correct Answer: 1 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: The nurse must close the infusion clamp prior to adding medication to an existing IV bag. Closing the clamp prevents the medication from inadvertently going directly down the tubing and into the client. Rationale 2: Medication is frequently added to IV bags that are less than completely full. The nurse must make a determination of whether the bag contains enough fluid to dilute the medication to the desired strength. Rationale 3: The bag can be taken from the IV pole for mixing. Rationale 4: The bag should receive a gentle rotation, not brisk shaking, to mix the medication and the fluid.

Page Number: 805 Question 18 Type: MCSA Upon aspirating a saline lock prior to administering intravenous medication, the nurse notes that there is no blood return. What nursing action should be taken? 1. Discontinue this infiltrated lock and restart another site for medication administration. 2. Slowly infuse 1 mL of saline into the lock, assessing for infiltration. 3. Reinsert the needle into the lock and aspirate using more pressure. 4. Pull the intravenous catheter out 1/8 inch and attempt aspiration. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Simple lack of blood upon aspiration does not indicate infiltration, so there is no need to discontinue the site. Rationale 2: Although the presence of blood upon aspiration confirms that the catheter is in a vein, the absence of blood does not rule out correct placement. If no blood returns, the nurse should slowly infuse 1 mL of saline into the lock while assessing the site for infiltration. If there is no infiltration present, the nurse should administer the medication. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Often the reason for absence of blood return is that the vessel has collapsed around the catheter from the pressure of aspiration. Increasing the pressure will not increase the likelihood of blood return. Rationale 4: Pulling the intravenous catheter out 1/8 inch will not increase the likelihood of blood return and may make the site more unstable.

Place a heating pad over the area where the patch is applied for 10 minutes after application. 3. Run a finger around the adhesive edges of the new patch before placing it on the client's skin. 4. Press firmly over the patch with the palm of the hand for about 10 seconds after applying it to the skin. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: If hair is a problem in keeping the patch on, choose a less hairy site for application or clip (do not shave) the hair. Rationale 2: Placement of a heating pad is contraindicated, as the heat could increase circulation and the rate of absorption. Rationale 3: Avoid touching the adhesive edges of the patch prior to placing it on the skin.

The nurse is preparing a small amount of medication for oral administration. Which nursing action is essential? 1. Draw up the medication in a syringe with a large-gauge needle. 2. Measure the medication at the top of the meniscus. 3. Label the syringe with the medication name, amount, and route. 4. Dilute the medication with water before measuring. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: If a regular syringe is used to draw up the medication, the needle should be discarded. A syringe with a needle might also indicate that the medication is to be given parenterally and cause a medication route error. Rationale 2: If medications are measured in a cup, the correct measurement is at the bottom of the meniscus. Rationale 3: When measuring medication in a syringe, a label must be attached indicating the name of the medication, the amount, and the route. This labeling is essential to prevent the medication from being given via the wrong route. Rationale 4: Medication might be diluted after measuring, but dilution before measuring would impact the dosage of the medication.

Page Number: 777 Question 23 Type: MCSA A client diagnosed with diabetes asks the nurse about reusing insulin syringes. Assessment reveals that the client has poor personal hygiene and difficulty with fine motor skills. The nurse also knows the client has financial difficulties. What instruction should the nurse give this client? 1. "The American Diabetes Association advises that syringes are for single use only." 2. "In order to save money, I advise you to reuse syringes up to three times or until the needle feels dull." Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. "Only people who practice good personal hygiene can reuse syringes." 4. "All clients are different, but I advise you to use a new syringe for each injection." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: This is not true; the American Diabetes Association indicates that syringes can be reused. Rationale 2: This client does not meet the criteria for suggesting the reuse of syringes. Rationale 3: The nurse should not directly confront the client with the statement about personal hygiene, as that would damage the nurse–client relationship. Rationale 4: Although the American Diabetes Association does indicate that syringes can be reused, that suggestion is not made to people who have poor personal hygiene, acute concurrent illness, open wounds on the hands, or decreased resistance to infection. In this case, the nurse has assessed that this client has poor hygiene and has difficulty with fine motor skills. The best answer is to suggest that this client use a new syringe for each injection.

Page Number: 796 Question 24 Type: MCSA The client who regularly uses a metered-dose inhaler four times a day tells the nurse that it is difficult to tell when the canister is empty. What instruction should the nurse give this client? 1. Place the canister in a bowl of water. If the canister floats, it is not empty. 2. When you get a new canister, divide the number of puffs that is listed on the label by four. That will tell you how many days the canister will last. 3. You can tell that the canister is empty when you can no longer smell the medication when you activate the plunger. 4. When you feel like you are no longer getting maximum effect from the medication, your canister is empty. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The old method of floating the canister in water is not accurate, as there may be propellant left in the canister after the medication is all dispensed. Rationale 2: The best way to track the number of puffs left in a canister is to start with the new canister, dividing the number of puffs listed on the label by the number of puffs taken each day. Rationale 3: Being able to smell the medication is not an indication of the amount left in the canister. Rationale 4: Waiting until there is lack of maximum effect from the medication may put the client at risk for respirator illness exacerbation.

Page Number: 822 Question 25 Type: MCSA The nurse is providing discharge teaching for a client who is being dismissed with prescriptions for a bronchodilator inhaler and a corticosteroid inhaler. What information should the nurse provide regarding the dosage schedule for these two medications? 1. Always use the corticosteroid inhaler first. 2. Use the bronchodilator first. 3. It makes no difference which inhaler is used first. 4. Use the inhalers on alternate days, not on the same day. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The bronchodilator should be used first in order to open the airways so the corticosteroid medication can move deeply into the lungs. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: These two types of inhalers are frequently prescribed to be used together. The bronchodilator should be used first in order to open the airways so the corticosteroid medication can move deeply into the lungs.

Assess the client's knowledge of the action of the medications. 4. Document the administration accurately so the reimbursement is correct. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This is important but not the greatest priority. Rationale 2: The greatest priority is to understand the intended effects of the medication for this client. The nurse should never do anything to or for a client without knowing the intended effect. Rationale 3: This is important but not the greatest priority.

The nurse identifies these symptoms as being 1. physical dependence. 2. psychological dependence. 3. plateau. 4. drug allergy. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Physiological dependence is due to biochemical changes in body tissues, especially the nervous system. These tissues come to require the substance for normal functioning. A dependent person who stops using the drug experiences withdrawal symptoms. Rationale 2: Psychological dependence is emotional reliance on a drug to maintain a sense of well-being, accompanied by feelings of need or cravings for that drug. There are varying degrees of psychological dependence, ranging from mild desire to craving and compulsive use of the drug. Rationale 3: Plateau is a maintained concentration of a drug in the plasma during a series of scheduled doses. Rationale 4: A drug allergy is an immunologic reaction to a drug. When a client is first exposed to a foreign substance, the body might react by producing antibodies. A client can react to a drug in the same manner as an antigen and thus develop symptoms of an allergic reaction. Global Rationale: Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Distribution 3. Biotransformation 4. Excretion Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Absorption is the process by which a drug passes into the bloodstream. Rationale 2: Distribution is the transportation of a drug from its site of absorption to its site of action. Rationale 3: Biotransformation, also called detoxification or metabolism, is a process by which a drug is converted to a less active form. Most biotransformation takes place in the liver. Biotransformation can be altered if a person has an unhealthy liver. Rationale 4: Excretion is the process by which metabolites and drugs are eliminated from the body.

The nurse is preparing to administer a subcutaneous injection to a client. When selecting the needle, the nurse should choose one with a 1. small gauge number. 2. long shaft. 3. long bevel. 4. short bevel. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Needles with small gauge numbers are used for viscous medications. For subcutaneous injections, a larger gauge number should be used. Rationale 2: Long shafts are used for intramuscular injections. Rationale 3: Longer bevels provide the sharpest needles, and cause less discomfort. They are commonly used for subcutaneous and intramuscular injections. Rationale 4: Short bevels are used for intradermal and IV injections because a long bevel can become occluded if it rests against the side of a blood vessel.

3. Vastus lateralis 4. Deltoid Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Using the dorsogluteal site can lead to nerve damage, and is not recommended as a site for intramuscular injections. Rationale 2: The rectus femoris muscle is used only occasionally for intramuscular injections because it is painful. Rationale 3: The vastus lateralis muscle is recommended for infants younger than 1 year of age, although it can be used for clients of all ages. Rationale 4: The deltoid muscle is not used often for intramuscular injections because it is a relatively small muscle and is very close to the radial nerve and radial artery. It is sometimes considered for use in adults because of rapid absorption from the deltoid area, but no more than 1 mL of solution can be administered.

Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Steroids do not decrease oxygen supply to the tissues. Rationale 2: Steroids suppress the inflammatory process, which is a normal part of the healing process. Rationale 3: Steroids generally increase blood glucose. Rationale 4: Blood vessels are not constricted by steroids.

Page Number: 835 Question 11 Type: MCSA On the fourth postoperative day, the client has a sudden coughing episode and tells the nurse that "something popped" in the abdominal incision. Upon inspection, the nurse finds that evisceration has occurred. What nursing action should be taken first? 1. Notify the client's surgeon. 2. Cover the area with a large saline-soaked dressing. 3. Position the client in bed with knees bent. 4. Pack the wound with nonadherent gauze. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Although notifying the surgeon is important, it is not the nurse’s first action. Rationale 2: Evisceration occurs when an abdominal wound opens and there is protrusion of the internal viscera through the incision. The nurse's first action should be to cover the area with a large saline-soaked dressing to keep the viscera moist. Rationale 3: Although positioning the client is important, it is not the nurse’s first action. Rationale 4: Nothing should be packed into this wound.

Type: MCSA A client is prescribed antiembolic stockings. How should the nurse assess the skin on the client’s legs? 1. Defer the assessment because the stockings are in place. 2. Remove the stockings for this assessment. 3. Review the morning assessment, but don't repeat it unless a problem occurs. 4. Assess the skin when the client removes the stockings at bedtime. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The stockings are worn day and night, so the client will not remove them for sleep. Rationale 2: The stockings should be removed to do this assessment. Rationale 3: The nurse is responsible for assessing the skin under the stockings and should not assume that the morning nurse's assessment is still accurate 12 hours later.

Page Number: 837 Question 13 Type: MCSA Multiple severely injured clients have arrived in the emergency department. On rapid assessment, the nurse notes that a leg wound dressing has a 4-cm by 6-cm blood spot that has soaked through the bandage. The client is otherwise stable. What action should the nurse take? 1. Place a tourniquet above the wound. 2. Remove the dressing and place direct pressure on the wound. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Add an additional dressing to the wound without removing the original. 4. Remove the dressing and replace it with a new sterile dressing. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: A tourniquet should not be applied because of the risk of interrupting arterial flow to the tissues. Rationale 2: Removing the dressing and applying direct pressure would take too much time at this point. Rationale 3: In this scenario, where there are multiple clients in need of care and because this client is stable, the correct nursing action is to add an additional dressing to the wound without removing the original.

Page Number: 841 Question 15 Type: MCSA The client has a documented stage III pressure ulcer on the right hip. What NANDA nursing diagnosis problem statement is most appropriate for use with this client? 1. Altered Tissue Perfusion 2. Impaired Skin Integrity 3. Impaired Tissue Integrity 4. Risk for Injury Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1:Although it is true that pressure ulcers result from altered tissue perfusion, the diagnosis problem statement Impaired Tissue Integrity is more specific. Rationale 2: Impaired Skin Integrity deals with the epidermal and dermal layers only and does not extend into the tissue. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Because a stage III pressure ulcer involves tissues, not just skin, this client has criteria for using the NANDA nursing diagnosis problem statement Impaired Tissue Integrity.

Page Number: 842 Question 16 Type: MCSA The nurse is selecting dressings for a clean abdominal incision that will be allowed to heal by secondary intention. What principles should the nurse use in choosing this dressing? 1. Materials used in dressing this wound should keep the wound bed moist. 2. The dressing should allow good air circulation through the wound. 3. Dressings should be simple as they will be changed at least every 4 hours. 4. Absorbent material to wick exudates away and support drying should be used. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Wounds that are expected to heal by secondary intention heal by "granulating in." In order to support the growth of granulation tissue, the wound bed should be kept moist and oxygen should be kept out of the wound. Rationale 2: Air is drying to tissues and contains oxygen, so air circulation through the dressing is not desirable. Rationale 3: The dressings will not be changed that often. Rationale 4: Because the goal is to keep the wound bed moist, dressings should not wick exudates away.

Page Number: 846 Question 20 Type: MCSA The nurse has established an expected outcome that the client will demonstrate healing of a stage II pressure ulcer over the coccyx. Which finding, discovered by the nurse during evaluation, might be implicated in the failure to achieve this outcome? 1. The rubber doughnut pressure relief device was not delivered by central supply. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. The client's serum albumin increased over the last month. 3. Nurses did not document disinfection of the wound with alcohol with each dressing change. 4. Unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) followed a right side–back–left side–back turning schedule. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: A rubber doughnut should not be used, so the fact that it was not delivered did not cause failure to meet the outcome. Rationale 2: An increase in serum albumin is a good finding and would increase wound healing, not decrease wound healing. Rationale 3: The use of alcohol interrupts healing, so it is good that nurses did not document its use. Rationale 4: Because this expected outcome was not met, the nurse looks for problems in the provision of care or changes in the client's condition. Of the options listed, the only one that would result in poor healing is the right side–back–left side–back turning schedule. This schedule places the client on the back for 50% of the time. The schedule should be right side–back–left side–right side.

After 15 minutes of treatment, the client says that the pack no longer is warm and asks the nurse to increase the temperature. How should the nurse evaluate this request? 1. Because this client's thermal tolerance is higher than normal, increasing the temperature is necessary. 2. This client may be experiencing a rebound effect from the application of moist heat. 3. Adaptation of the thermal receptors often results in the decreased sensation of warmth. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. The aquathermia pad should be replaced with a standard hot pack. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: There is no evidence that this client has increased thermal tolerance. Rationale 2: There is no evidence that the rebound effect is occurring. Rationale 3: After about 15 minutes of heat application, the thermal receptors adapt to the temperature increase and the sensation of warmth is diminished. Clients often request that the temperature be increased because they do not feel the same amount of heat. This can lead to burns.

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: The older person is more prone to impaired skin integrity because of decreased strength and elasticity of the skin due to changes in the collagen fibers of the dermis. Rationale 2: Elevated body temperature does impact a person’s skin integrity, but this could occur at any age, and not just in an older client. Rationale 3: The older person is more prone to impaired skin integrity because of diminished pain perception due to a reduction in the number of cutaneous end organs responsible for the sensation of pressure and light touch. Rationale 4: The older person is more prone to impaired skin integrity because of generalized thinning of the epidermis.

Page Number: 906 Question 4 Type: MCSA The nurse suspects that the client has a hearing disorder; however, the client denies not being able to hear. What initial assessment technique should the nurse employ? 1. Schedule a Weber and Rinne test. 2. Observe the client's interaction with significant others. 3. Use an otoscope to visualize the inner ear. 4. Confront the client with the nurse's suspicion. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The Weber and Rinne test may be a part of assessment, but will not yield as much information as the simple observation. Rationale 2: The most telling of these options would be to observe the client's interactions with significant others. The nurse should assess for frequent requests to repeat, inattention to conversation, turning one ear to the conversation, and lip-reading. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Use of an otoscope may be a part of assessment, but will not yield as much information as the simple observation. Rationale 4: The client has already denied a hearing problem, so confronting the client with the nurse's suspicion will probably only serve to alienate the client from the nurse.

3. Receptor 4. Perception 5. Impulse conduction Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4, 5 Rationale 1: Speech is not an aspect of the sensory process. Rationale 2: For an individual to be aware of the surroundings, four aspects of the sensory process must be present. One of these aspects is a stimulus, which is an agent or act that stimulates a nerve receptor. Rationale 3: For an individual to be aware of the surroundings, four aspects of the sensory process must be present. One of these is a receptor, which is the ability to convert the stimulus to a nerve impulse. Rationale 4: For an individual to be aware of the surroundings, four aspects of the sensory process must be present. One of these is perception, which is the awareness and interpretation of the stimuli in the brain. Rationale 5: For an individual to be aware of the surroundings, four aspects of the sensory process must be present. One of these is impulse conduction, which means the impulse travels along the nerve pathways to either the spinal cord or directly to the brain.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 39 Question 1 Type: MCSA Which statement, made by the client, would indicate a "me-centered" self-concept? 1. "I couldn't stand to disappoint my parents." 2. "My sister is so much smarter than I am." 3. "My future is based on the decisions I make today." 4. "The world has always been against people like me." Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: This statement reflects a high need for approval of others, which is not me-centered. Rationale 2: This statement reflects a comparison with others. Rationale 3: Individuals with a positive self-concept are me-centered and value how they perceive themselves over the opinions of others and have learned to depend on themselves. This is reflected in the statement, "My future is based on the decisions I make today." Rationale 4: Other-centered persons compare themselves with others and often believe the world is against them.

The staff development instructor planning self-concept development classes for staff nurses is going to include information to improve the nurses’ self-concept along with information to use with clients. Why is the information for nurses important? 1. The nurse's self-concept is more important than the client's. 2. Poor self-concept is the number-one reason for nursing burnout. 3. Nurses with positive self-concept are better able to help clients. 4. Nurses with poor self-concept are more likely to make errors. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The nurse's self-concept is not more important than the client's, but it is of equal importance in the nurse–client relationship. Rationale 2: There is no evidence that nurses with poor self-concept burn out earlier than nurses with good selfconcept. Rationale 3: Nurses who have positive self-concept are better prepared to assist clients with their own understanding of needs, desires, feelings, and conflicts.

Dismiss the evaluation as invalid. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. Consider the feedback carefully but not change practice patterns. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The student should take the feedback seriously and use it to guide personal growth. Issues with time management and prioritization are common with students and should be addressed. The student should introspectively look at the situation and use it for growth. Rationale 2: Blaming the student–faculty relationship for the poor review reflects projection of the student's beliefs onto the situation.

Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Role confusion would be indicated if the client did not have a clear indication of what role to fulfill in life or how to fulfill a chosen role.

The client refuses the surgery, stating: "I would rather die than have my leg amputated." What information should the nurse use to plan future interventions for this client? 1. The knowledge that adolescents are very concerned about body image 2. Concern about need for education regarding the danger of delaying surgery 3. The fact that the parents will have the ultimate decision about surgery 4. The ability of the adolescent to understand medical terminology Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Adolescents are very concerned about body image and will make decisions based upon peer or media opinion even if it puts their health at risk. The nurse's further interventions should be planned with this thought in mind. Rationale 2: Although the client may need further education, the issues regarding the adolescent's focus on body image should be taken into consideration with every new intervention. Rationale 3: Even though the parents will make the ultimate decision, the issues regarding the adolescent's focus on body image should be taken into consideration with every new intervention.

"My husband will be a stay-at-home dad while I work." 3. "I'm so disappointed that this baby is not a girl." 4. "I haven't even finished the baby's room." Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Role ambiguity occurs when expectations are unclear or a person does not know how to fulfill the role. In this case, the clearest indication of role ambiguity is "I don't know if I know how to be a mom." Rationale 2: Even though the husband staying at home while the mother works may not be the expected role assignment, there is no ambiguity in the arrangement.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Correcting the client when negativity arises puts the client in a childlike role and will not encourage positive self-esteem. Rationale 2: Clients who have negative self-esteem may have a history of failures and disappointments. Designing a series of "small successes" for the client will help foster a more positive attitude. Rationale 3: Correcting the client when negativity arises puts the client in a childlike role and will not encourage positive self-esteem.

"Most clients make quicker progress.” 2. "Self-esteem work takes time and is not easily evaluated." 3. "What have you done to help the client with this work?" 4. "Do you think that the client is really trying?" Correct Answer: 2 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: It is not appropriate to reinforce the spouse’s feelings by comparing the client to other clients. Rationale 2: It would be appropriate to respond that self-esteem work takes time and that improvement is sometimes not easy to evaluate. Rationale 3: It is not appropriate to blame the spouse for the slowness by asking what has been done to help the client.

Page Number: 931 Question 20 Type: MCSA The nurse is teaching a class for new parents about self-esteem development in infants. What information should be included? 1. If the baby awakens at night, let him cry for a few minutes before responding. 2. Keep the baby on a 3-hour feeding schedule, even if it means awakening him. 3. Respond to the baby's needs promptly and consistently. 4. Use firm, loving discipline with the baby from the beginning. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: In order to develop self-esteem in their baby, parents should be taught to respond to the baby's needs promptly and consistently. The baby should not be allowed to cry for extended periods of time at this age. Rationale 2: A 3-hour feeding schedule might work for some babies, but it should not be presented as the goal to a group of new parents because every baby is different. Rationale 3: In order to develop self-esteem in their baby, parents should be taught to respond to the baby's needs promptly and consistently.

Page Number: 930 Question 21 Type: MCSA The parents tell the nurse that their preschooler demands to wear specific clothing. They are concerned that the day-care workers might think they are negligent because the preschooler often wears mismatched clothing. What should be the nurse's response to this concern? 1. "Don't worry, day-care workers are accustomed to that sort of thing." 2. “This is normal and the preschooler is just practicing skills needed later in life” 3. "I am glad you brought that to our attention. I will make a note for her pediatrician." 4. "You should have better control of the child now if you have any hope of controlling the child during the teenage years." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Even though day-care workers are accustomed to this stage, the option given discounts the parents' worry and does not give them any information that the preschooler is normal. Rationale 2: The nurse should accept that the parents are concerned and then tell them that this is normal behavior at this age. Preschoolers often begin to exert independence and to "practice" picking out clothing, cooking with play toys, and parenting dolls. Rationale 3: The only reason to notify the pediatrician would be to report this normal behavior. Rationale 4: Because this is a normal behavior, there are no issues about controlling the preschooler when older. Global Rationale: Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

They ask for the nurse's professional opinion about the suitability of the punishment. Which answer best supports self-esteem development in this adolescent? 1. "I think the punishment may be excessive. Have you talked with the school officials about the incident?" 2. "Because my expertise is in health, I really can't respond to your question." 3. "Honesty and respect for authorities is important. I am surprised that the punishment is not more extensive." 4. "Living with the consequences of your actions is a way to help the adolescent develop good self-esteem." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Because the nurse does not have all the information, it would be a mistake to agree that the punishment is excessive. Rationale 2: The nurse does need to respond to these parents, even though the nurse may not have enough information to form an opinion about the situation. Rationale 3: Because the nurse does not have all the information, it would be a mistake to agree that the punishment should be more extensive.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 40 Question 1 Type: MCSA A client speaks about an adult son who is a practicing homosexual and expresses concern by stating: "I am so worried about him and I know he is going to hell." What is the most important fact for the nurse to consider in formulating a response to this client's concern? 1. Normal sexuality is described as whatever behaviors give pleasure and satisfaction to those adults involved. 2. Because alternative lifestyles are now so well accepted in society, this parent should not feel so much concern. 3. What constitutes normal sexual expression varies among cultures and religions. 4. Sexual development is genetically determined and not affected by environment. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Even though many consider whatever activity gives pleasure and satisfaction to the involved adults to be normal, some cultures and religions do not hold that belief. Rationale 2: Although alternative lifestyles are well accepted in some cultures, apparently that is not true in this parent's belief patterns.

Question 2 Type: MCSA The parent of a 20-month-old is very concerned because the baby touches the genital area during diaper changes. How should the nurse respond to this concern? 1. At 20 months this touching is not a sexual experience. 2. Masturbation to orgasm is common and normal at this age. 3. Genital stimulation should not be occurring until the age of 2 1/2 or 3. 4. Babies are sexual beings, but this activity should be discouraged. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: At 20 months, exploration and touching of the genital area is no different than exploration and touching of fingers and toes. This touching is not considered a sexual experience. Rationale 2: Masturbation to orgasm can occur as early as age 3, although males do not ejaculate until after puberty. Rationale 3: At around age 21/2 or 3 the child begins to differentiate between genital differences and to identify as a male or female.

One of the girls asks about using tampons for sanitary protection during menstruation. What advice should the nurse include? Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. Tampons should not be used until the menstrual cycle is well established, usually 2 to 3 years after the first period occurs. 2. Superabsorbent tampons should be used at night to protect from overflow accidents. 3. Tampons should be alternated with sanitary pads to help decrease risk for infection. 4. Tampons should be changed at least every 8 hours. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: There is no evidence of need to delay tampon use. Rationale 2: Sanitary pads, not tampons, should be used at night. Rationale 3: The nurse should teach these girls to alternate tampons with sanitary pads to decrease risk for infection. Rationale 4: Tampons should be changed more frequently than every 8 hours to prevent infection and odor.

Page Number: 936 Question 4 Type: MCSA The nurse is developing strategies for the relief of menstrual cramping to teach a group of young clients. What should be the focus of these strategies? 1. Increase of blood flow to the uterine muscle 2. Avoidance of uterine contraction 3. Minimization of menstrual flow 4. Decrease in estrogen production Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Menstrual cramping is a result of the muscle ischemia that occurs when the client experiences powerful uterine contractions. Increase of blood flow to the uterine muscle through rest, some exercises, application of heat to the abdomen, and presence of milder uterine contractions (such as those associated with orgasm) can decrease pain and cramping. Rationale 2: Increase of blood flow to the uterine muscle can decrease pain and cramping. There is no connection between the actual amount of flow and pain. Estrogen production should follow normal patterns and should not be altered. Rationale 3: There is no connection between the actual amount of flow and pain.

Page Number: 936 Question 5 Type: MCSA During a routine physical, an 11-year-old tells the nurse that many students in school are "doing it." How should the nurse respond to this statement? 1. Tell the client to talk with parents about sexual matters. 2. Ask what "doing it" means to this client. 3. State that sexual activity is not appropriate at age 11. 4. Stay silent and wait for the client to continue the discussion. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: An 11-year-old may feel uneasy about discussing sexual matters with parents, so this statement to the nurse may be the only opportunity to discuss concerns. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: The nurse should ask what "doing it" means to this 11-year-old client. It is important that the nurse and the client are talking about the same thing before additional information is shared. Rationale 3: This is not the time to tell the client about what is or is not appropriate; it is the time to make the client feel comfortable talking with the nurse.

A 30-year-old woman Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Because the child needs role modeling from both males and females, this teacher is not the best choice. Rationale 2: If all other variables are equal, the best choice is the 40-year-old male, as this child needs role modeling from both females (the mother) and males (this teacher). Rationale 3: Even though the child needs role modeling from both males and females, this teacher is not the best choice because of the teacher's age.

The 45-year-old client reports that she has no interest in sex and that she and her husband have not had intercourse in 16 years. How should the nurse interpret this assessment data? 1. This couple is experiencing sexual dysfunction. 2. The woman's lack of sexual desire has resulted in impotence in her husband. 3. If both partners share the same lack of desire, there is often not a problem. 4. This situation is so unnatural that some dysfunction is present. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: This situation is unnatural in the predominant North American culture, but if both members of the couple are comfortable with the relationship, no dysfunction is present. Rationale 2: There is no evidence that the wife's lack of desire has resulted in sexual impotence in her husband, but further assessment might be in order. Rationale 3: If both members of a couple have the same lack of desire and they are comfortable, there is likely no problem with the couple's sexuality.

The medical diagnosis of erectile dysfunction is not made until the man has erection difficulties in 25% or more of his interactions. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Although this can occur, it does not address the client's concerns about impotence. Rationale 2: Simply correcting the client's use of medical terminology does not address his concerns. Rationale 3: This client is concerned about his masculinity and sexual abilities. The correct answer at this point is to tell him that it is common and normal for men to experience occasional erectile difficulties. Rationale 4: Even though this is true, it is not the best response to address the client's concerns.

Page Number: 944 Question 12 Type: MCSA The nurse is preparing for pelvic physical examination of a woman who has been medically diagnosed with vaginismus. What equipment should the nurse obtain for this examination? 1. Culture tubes to assess expected vaginal infection 2. Extra cleaning supplies to remove thick external secretions 3. Smaller-than-normal vaginal speculums 4. Equipment for preexamination douche Correct Answer: 3 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: The client does not have an infection. Rationale 2: The client does not have thick external secretions. Rationale 3: Clients with vaginismus experience involuntary spasm of the outer one-third of the vaginal muscles. This spasm makes internal examination, tampon use, and intercourse difficult. Use of smaller-than-normal vaginal speculums may make examination easier. Rationale 4: This client does not need a preexamination douche.

Page Number: 945 Question 13 Type: MCSA There is disagreement among the nursing unit staff regarding how much sexual history should be included in adult admission assessments. What standard is generally the most applicable? 1. A complete sexual history must be included in the admission history and physicals. 2. Sexual information should be pursued only if the client's chief complaint indicates possible sexual dysfunction. 3. Sexual assessment should be done by the physician and not repeated by the nurse. 4. The amount of sexual information taken will vary on a case-by-case basis. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: A complete sexual history is not necessary for every client. Rationale 2: This topic should be addressed only after rapport has been established. Rationale 3: Although the nurse should be sensitive about repeating questions that have already been asked, the client may be more forthcoming with information with the nurse.

Page Number: 945 Question 14 Type: MCSA The mother of a 5-year-old tells the nurse that her daughter has always been closer to her than to her husband. The mother expresses concern that, over the last 2 months, the little girl wants to spend all of her time with her father instead of with the mother. The nurse recognizes that this behavior 1. may indicate sexual abuse by the father and should be further investigated. 2. is a normal expectation of a preschooler developing sexuality. 3. indicates that the girl is overidentifying with the male gender. 4. can be a sign of precocious puberty and should be monitored. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The nurse would be concerned if this attention to the father is accompanied by any manifestation of sexual abuse, but that is not indicated in this question. Rationale 2: A part of the normal sexual development of a preschooler is a time in which the child focuses love on the parent of the other gender. The same-gender parent may feel excluded during this time, but can be assured that the behavior is normal. Rationale 3: There is no indication of overidentification with the male gender. Rationale 4: There is no indication of precocious puberty. Global Rationale: Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

What teaching is necessary for this client? 1. Even though she doesn't get pregnant, she might still get a sexually transmitted infection. 2. Intercourse until orgasm may actually reduce conception because the vaginal contractions help to expel sperm. 3. Conceiving is not related to whether or not the female partner experiences an orgasm. 4. As long as her boyfriend does not ejaculate in her vagina, conception is unlikely. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Conceiving is not related to experiencing orgasm. This client is very likely to conceive and is also at risk for getting any sexually transmitted infection her boyfriend might have. Rationale 2: Conceiving is not related to experiencing orgasm. Rationale 3: Conceiving is not related to experiencing orgasm.

Question 17 Type: MCSA The high school student tells the school nurse that during biology the class learned that alcohol is associated with erectile dysfunction. The student wonders why so many girls get pregnant during evenings when alcohol is consumed. The nurse should plan a response based upon which concept? 1. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant that affects judgment. 2. Erectile dysfunction only occurs after years of alcohol abuse. 3. Alcohol is a sexual stimulant. 4. Erectile dysfunction occurs only in men older than 50. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Alcohol is implicated in behaviors leading to undesired pregnancy because it is a central nervous system depressant and affects judgment. Rationale 2: Situational erectile dysfunction often occurs when the male partner is drunk. Chronic erectile dysfunction is more common in older men, and alcohol abuse is associated with this problem. Rationale 3: Alcohol is implicated in behaviors leading to undesired pregnancy because it is a central nervous system depressant and affects judgment. It is not a sexual stimulant.

Referral to a surgeon for excision of infected tissue 2. Examination and treatment of sexual partner 3. Treatment with a stronger oral antibiotic 4. Routine douches with a topical antibiotic solution Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: There is no need for tissue excision. Rationale 2: Candidiasis is a sexually transmitted infection. It may be that this woman's sexual partner is also infected with candidiasis and that the couple is transmitting the infection between them.

Discussion of this plan should include what concept? 1. At this age, education regarding sexuality should come from parents. 2. Children are sexual beings from before birth. 3. Understanding the body and sexuality are a part of growth and development. 4. Sexual activity is beginning at earlier and earlier ages. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Although all of these statements are true, the primary consideration is that early childhood education on sex should come primarily from parents.

Page Number: 947 Question 21 Type: MCSA In discussion with teenagers, the nurse chooses to use the term sexually transmitted infection rather than sexually transmitted disease. What is the rationale for this choice? 1. Infection is a much more precise term for the transmission that occurs. 2. The word disease may elicit guilt, shame, and fear in the client. 3. Sexually transmitted disease does not receive as much third-party reimbursement as does sexually transmitted infection. 4. These terms can be used interchangeably and there is no good rationale for using one over the other. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Substituting the term infection for disease makes the diagnosis less threatening and makes it sound more treatable. Rationale 2: The term sexually transmitted disease can elicit guilt, shame, and fear in the client. Rationale 3: Third-party reimbursement is not a reason for choice of terms in this instance. Rationale 4: The preciseness of the term is not an issue. Global Rationale: Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

In order to avoid causing anxiety, limit the amount of information given to clients regarding adverse sexual side effects of treatments or medications. 2. Give the client accurate but concise information in regard to any sexual questions that might be asked. 3. State information using slang terms to refer to sexual body parts because the client is not likely to know the proper terms. 4. Review current research literature associated with the sexual concerns of the client and partner. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Clients deserve information regarding sexual side effects, and the nurse is obligated to provide that information. Rationale 2: LI represents limited information. The nurse should give accurate but concise information regarding sexual matters. Rationale 3: Although the nurse should use terms the client understands, assuming that the client only understands slang terms could cause embarrassment for the client and the nurse. A better strategy is to use correct terms while assessing the client's understanding, changing to more common terms if necessary.

Focus interventions on explaining the somatic sexual difficulties and their treatment. 3. Offer the client a list of expected sexual side effects of drugs or treatments. 4. Identify any concerns the client has regarding attraction to the same sex. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: SS represents specific suggestions. The nurse should use specialized knowledge and skill about how sexuality and functioning are affected by the disease process or therapy to offer specific suggestions for intervention. Rationale 2: Although some therapy may have somatic effects, the nurse should not focus solely on those effects. Rationale 3: Just giving the client a list of expected sexual side effects is not appropriate at this level of the format.

Collaborate with the physician regarding medications to control this behavior. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Telling the client to keep his hands away from his penis is inappropriate and assumes the client is masturbating. Rationale 2: The nurse should assess whether this client has irritation of the penis that is causing his actions. The nurse needs to determine if there is a physical reason such as irritation that the client is trying to communicate. Rationale 3: Telling the client to keep his linens pulled up is inappropriate and assumes the client is masturbating.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 41 Question 1 Type: MCSA As a part of care planning, the nurse considers the client's spiritual needs. What is the rationale for this concern? 1. Nurses are the only health professionals who provide this type of holistic care. 2. Meeting the client's spiritual needs can decrease suffering. 3. Until spiritual needs are met, physical needs cannot be healed. 4. It is important that the nurse's idea of spirituality matches the client's ideas. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Nurses do provide holistic care, but so do many other health care professionals. Rationale 2: The nurse is concerned about the client's spiritual health because meeting spiritual needs can decrease suffering. Rationale 3: Physical needs can be addressed and healed without considering the spiritual side, but in order to provide holistic care both should be addressed.

Sitting next to the client in the holding area 4. Praying with the client for divine intervention 5. Focusing on the client and fulfilling his needs Correct Answer: 4, 5 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Adjusting the intravenous infusion demonstrates partial presence by being present; however, there is more to presencing than just attending to a task. Rationale 2: Talking with the client about the surgery does not demonstrating presencing because this does not fulfill the client’s request for the nurse to stay and pray. Rationale 3: Sitting next to the client in the holding area may demonstrate physical presence; however, the nurse is not fulfilling the client’s request.

Page Number: 955 Question 6 Type: MCSA The 70-year-old client with terminal lung cancer tells the nurse, "I am dying because I sinned by smoking cigarettes." What is the nurse's best response to this dying client? 1. "You are correct, but it is too late to do anything about it now." 2. "When you started smoking cigarettes we didn't know about the problems they cause. It is not your fault." 3. "Why don't we call the hospital chaplain and you can pray about your sins." 4. "Smoking cigarettes isn't a sin. There are many worse habits you could have." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: If the nurse tells the client that it is too late to do anything about the problem, there is a possibility that distress will increase. Rationale 2: This client is in distress and is seeking forgiveness. The nurse should offer this forgiveness and a reason the forgiveness is valid. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Suggesting that the hospital chaplain be called for prayer reinforces that smoking cigarettes is a sin.

Mention the nurse's belief and offer to pray with the client for forgiveness. 2. Tell the client that the nurse will pray for her often. 3. Ask the client if there are any spiritual needs with which the staff can assist. 4. Refer the client for spiritual counseling. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Offering to pray with the client is over the boundary of professional practice unless the client requests such intervention and the nurse is comfortable with the arrangement. Rationale 2: Offering to pray for the client is over the boundary of professional practice unless the client requests such intervention and the nurse is comfortable with the arrangement. Rationale 3: The client can be asked general questions to elicit information about what beliefs and practices are important to the present health care situation, and what, if anything, the client would like from the health care team to support spiritual health.

Tell the client that the nurse will explain to the procedure staff about the medal and will request that they allow the client to wear it. 4. Remove the medal and place it on the head of the bed where the client will be able to see it during the procedure. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The fact that there is a policy to remove all jewelry is simply a policy, and an exception might be made and documented in this case. Rationale 2: The nurse should not tell the client that the medal will be allowed, as this decision belongs to those directly involved in the procedure. Rationale 3: The nurse should explain the significance of the medal to the procedure staff and request that the client be allowed to wear it during the procedure. Rationale 4: Removing the medal and placing it on the head of the bed is not a good choice. There may be no reason to remove the medal.

Remind the client that most religions excuse persons who are ill from fasting. 3. Attempt to convince the client to ignore the tradition due to illness. 4. Tell the client that the physician must make this decision. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The nurse should support the client's desires to the extent possible. Rationale 2: Because this client is a devout follower of Jewish tradition, it is not up to the nurse to instruct the client regarding Jewish law.

MNL Learning Outcome: 1.3.3. Consider cultural and spiritual aspects that influence nursing care. Page Number: 958 Question 11 Type: MCSA The female client belongs to a religious community that requires women to dress conservatively in clothing that covers the arms and the knees. This client expresses concern that her body will be exposed during a scheduled cardiac catheterization. How should the nurse respond to this concern? 1. Tell the client that medical personnel have seen so many people's bodies that they don't even notice any longer. 2. Make a note in the client's chart that she is particularly modest. 3. Explain to the client that in order to perform the study, her body must be exposed. 4. Ask the cath lab charge nurse to come to the client's room to talk with her about the concerns. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Although medical personnel are often exposed to unclothed bodies, that information will not make this client more at ease. Rationale 2: Just making a note in the chart is not sufficient. Rationale 3: This is not sufficient to meet the client’s needs. Rationale 4: The best plan is to have the cath lab charge nurse talk to the client about her concerns. The charge nurse can then assure the client that even though a small part of her body must be exposed, her modesty will be protected.

Page Number: 959 Question 12 Type: MCSA During labor, it becomes apparent that the male infant will survive only a short time after birth. Because this baby's parents are Catholic, what planning should the nurse consider? 1. Arrange to have the baby circumcised immediately after birth. 2. Ask the hospital chaplain to be present in the delivery room. 3. Ask the nursing supervisor to find a Catholic nurse to attend the birth. 4. Consider emergency transport of the mother to a Catholic hospital. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The concern of this family will be baptism of the infant, not circumcision. Rationale 2: In this situation, the best choice is to have the hospital chaplain present in the delivery room.

The family of a dying client has informed the nurse that their religion requires that a ritual bath be given by members of the faith after death. Because the hospital unit is very busy and there is an acute need for every bed, how should the nurse respond to this request? 1. Notify the mortuary of the family's request. 2. Arrange for supplies and privacy for the family. 3. Tell the family that the bath will have to take place after the body is removed from the hospital. 4. Allow the family to give the bath, but give a 1-hour deadline for completion. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: There is no need to notify the mortuary. Rationale 2: When a client is dying, much of the nursing care shifts from the client to support of the family. The nurse should allow this bath and should provide supplies and privacy for the family to complete the ritual. Rationale 3: The nurse should not tell the family that they will have to delay the bath until the body is removed. Rationale 4: The nurse should not put a deadline on the bath.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. The assessment can now move on to physical assessment. 4. No further specific spiritual assessment is currently necessary. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: If the client is satisfied and content with current levels of spirituality, there is no further specific spiritual assessment necessary. Rationale 2: There is no need to validate spiritual assessment with family unless there is a question of the client's reliability as a historian. Rationale 3: The spiritual assessment should take place at the end of the assessment, so physical assessment should already have been completed.

Ineffective Coping 2. Decisional Conflict 3. Impaired Religiosity 4. Anxiety Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: There is no evidence that this client is coping ineffectively. Rationale 2: For this situation, the best nursing diagnosis problem statement is Decisional Conflict. This client will be called upon to make a decision between two highly regarded but conflicting plans. Rationale 3: Impaired Religiosity is impairment of the ability to exercise religious beliefs, which has not yet occurred in this situation.

What is the best rationale for this plan? 1. Accreditation agencies require that the residents have regular outings. 2. Keeping in touch with nature is a form of spiritual care. 3. Fresh vegetables from the garden are good sources of nutritional fiber. 4. Sunshine helps activate vitamin D. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This may or may not be true.

Stand quietly just inside the room door until the prayer is completed. 2. Come to the bedside and join in with the prayer. 3. Politely ask the client to allow care to proceed. 4. Quietly shut the door and wait in the hall until asked to enter. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Standing inside the room is a violation of privacy and may also unduly influence the length of the prayer session. Rationale 2: Although it is perfectly acceptable for the nurse to pray with clients, joining the prayer without invitation is not acceptable. Rationale 3: The nurse should not interrupt the prayer to request to perform a task. Rationale 4: The nurse should wait in the hall until the prayer is over and the client or family give permission to enter the room.

Page Number: 963 Question 18 Type: MCSA The newly hired nurse notices that coworkers routinely pray with clients and their families. The nurse has never been particularly religious or spiritual and is unaccustomed to praying, but holds no strong feeling against prayer. What is the best strategy for the nurse to plan for such situations? 1. Try to ensure assignment to clients who are unlikely to request prayer. 2. Arrange to have a coworker substitute for the nurse in these prayer situations. 3. Memorize two or three short, formal prayers to use when prayer is requested. 4. Just stand silently at the bedside and let others in the room do the praying. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: It is impossible to be certain that the nurse will not be caring for a patient who will ask for prayer, especially because the practice of prayer is somewhat routine on this unit. Rationale 2: Having a coworker substitute for the nurse will be difficult to operationalize and may not always be an option, so the nurse would need some preparation anyway. Rationale 3: Because this nurse has no objection to praying with clients and families, the best plan is to have two or three short, formal prayers or verses memorized to use when prayer is suggested. Rationale 4: The second best option is to stand silently at the bedside while others pray.

Page Number: 963 Question 19 Type: MCSA The nurse has developed a strong rapport with a client whose medical care necessitates transfusion of multiple units of blood. The client has a religious objection to this treatment even though it is necessary to sustain life. What action should the nurse take? 1. Use the rapport established to influence the client to accept the blood transfusions. 2. Explain the scientific reasons that blood transfusions are necessary and why refusal is dangerous. 3. Encourage the client, the physician, and the client's spiritual adviser to discuss this conflict and any possible alternative therapies. 4. Suggest to the client that as the illness progresses, the blood will probably be transfused despite religious objections. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Using the rapport established to influence the decision is unethical. Rationale 2: Just explaining scientific reasons will not generally make a difference in the client's decision. Rationale 3: This is a delicate situation for a nurse who has developed a rapport and relationship with a client. The best response is to support the discussion between client, physician, and spiritual adviser. At that point, the nurse must be prepared to support whatever decision the client makes, even if it is to not permit the transfusions.

Listen to the child's routine bedtime prayer. 3. Encourage the child to pray before each meal. 4. Bring a Bible storybook in to read to the child at bedtime. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Asking who God is assumes that the child's religion recognizes God. At this age, the child is a little young to articulate the identity of God. Rationale 2: The nurse should support the routine spiritual practices encouraged by the family. If the client says routine bedtime prayers, the nurse can support this practice by listening to the prayer. Rationale 3: If the child does not routinely pray before meals, the nurse should not introduce this activity.

Page Number: 957 Question 21 Type: MCSA During the morning bath, the client asks if the nurse is religious and believes in God. What would be most helpful for the nurse to consider in formulating a response to this question? 1. The nurse's personal life is none of the client's business. 2. Religion and politics are two subjects not discussed in polite interactions. 3. Will sharing this information positively contribute to the relationship? 4. What is the culture of the facility regarding self-disclosure? Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Although it is true that the nurse's personal life is private, the nurse might decide to self-disclose. Rationale 2: Some cultures do believe that religion and politics should not be discussed in polite interactions, but the client does deserve some answer to the question. Rationale 3: Practice guidelines regarding support of religious practices indicate that the nurse should first consider whether such self-disclosure will contribute to a therapeutic nurse–client relationship.

The nurse and client have spent several minutes praying together that the client's upcoming surgery will be successful. What action should the nurse take at this point? 1. Gently tell the client that the nurse must take care of other duties. 2. Smile and pat the client and silently leave the room. 3. Stay with the client until the emotion evoked by the prayer dissipates. 4. Ask the client if there is anything else the nurse can do. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: This statement makes it appear as if the prayer was just one more task in the nurse's list of responsibilities and would not be appropriate. Rationale 2: The nurse should not pat the client and leave the room silently. This would not support the client's spiritual needs. Rationale 3: The nurse should stay with the client for a few minutes after the prayer has ended until the strong emotions that can be evoked by joint prayer dissipate.

1. Tell the client that it is different now because of the diabetes. 2. Do some research into the meaning of fasting in this religion. 3. Ask family members of the same religion to discuss fasting with the client. 4. Request a consult from a diabetes educator. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Telling the client that life is different now does not support religious beliefs. Rationale 2: Research into the meaning of fasting in this religion would be educative for the nurse, but the client requires more immediate intervention. Rationale 3: Asking the family to talk to the client might help, but the diabetes educator would be able to provide more direct and helpful information for the client.

3. "Am I meeting my needs or the client's?" 4. "How can I best make this client understand?"

Question 28 Type: MCSA The nurse is determining whether interventions to address the diagnosis of Spiritual Distress for a client newly diagnosed with a chronic illness have been effective. What outcome would indicate that interventions have been effective for this client? 1. The client has talked with the church priest twice during the hospitalization. 2. The client states that there is nothing that can be done spiritually to improve her current outlook on life. 3. The client plans to make an appointment with a psychologist after discharge. 4. The client thanks the nurse for trying to help improve her feelings. Correct Answer: 1 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Evidence that interventions to address the diagnosis of Spiritual Distress have been effective would be the client’s talking with the church priest, as evidence of spiritual health is connecting with a spiritual leader.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 42 Question 1 Type: MCSA The nurse elects to use a scale of stressful life events to assess the level of a newly admitted client's stress. How should the nurse explain the use of this scale to the client? 1. "We will consider only the negative life events that have happened to you recently." 2. "You should try to remember any stressful event that has occurred to you in the last 10 years to include in the scale." 3. "This scale will give us a definite stress level number that can be used to compare your stress to that of others your age." 4. "This scale will give us some idea about your stress related to both positive and negative recent events in your life." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The scales take into consideration both positive and negative events. Rationale 2: Stress scales focus on recently occurring events. Rationale 3: The scales are only an idea of stress level because each individual reacts to stressful events differently. Rationale 4: Stress scales are useful to give the client and others an idea of the amount of stress that both positive and negative recent life events have placed on the client.

Question 2 Type: MCSA The client has just received news of the death of a relative. Over the next few hours, what physiologic response should the nurse attribute to the shock phase of the alarm reaction caused by the stress of this event? 1. Drop in blood pressure from 130/80 to 120/75 2. A more bounding pulse 3. Slight increase in urine output 4. Some decrease in oxygen saturation Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Blood pressure rises in response to angiotensin production. Rationale 2: During this shock phase, the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, resulting in increased myocardial contractility, which would be reflected in the client as a bounding pulse. Rationale 3: Norepinephrine release decreases blood flow to the kidney, which could make urine output decrease. Rationale 4: The bronchial tree dilates, allowing more oxygen intake that would result in increased oxygen saturation.

The nursing student admits to being mildly anxious about an upcoming examination. What is the likely result of this level of anxiety? 1. The student's perception and learning is enhanced. 2. The student's attention is focused solely on studying for the examination. 3. The student's only topic of conversation is the examination. 4. The student cannot talk about the examination without crying. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: With mild anxiety, the student's perception and learning will be enhanced. Rationale 2: Focusing only on studying for the examination would indicate a moderate anxiety level. Rationale 3: Severe anxiety is the level at which the examination would consume all of the student's energy. Rationale 4: Panic is the state in which the student might lose control of emotions regarding the examination.

Page Number: 975 Question 4 Type: MCSA While attempting to choose a nursing diagnosis, the nurse must decide whether the client is experiencing anxiety or fear. What key point would help the nurse make this decision? 1. Anxiety is a milder form of fear. 2. Fear results in a physiologic response, whereas anxiety is psychologic. 3. The source of fear is identifiable, but anxiety may be vague. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. Anxiety is generally based in reality, fear is not. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Fear and anxiety are different, so anxiety is not just a milder form of fear. Rationale 2: Both fear and anxiety can have physiologic and psychologic components. Rationale 3: The source of fear is identifiable, but anxiety is vague. Rationale 4: Fear and anxiety can both be based in reality or may not be based in reality.

Page Number: 976 Question 5 Type: MCSA The new nurse feels overwhelmed by the demands of working on a busy acute care unit and maintaining a growing family. What strategy should this nurse employ to lessen this stress? 1. Spend the lunch hour completing documentation while eating a sandwich. 2. Set the alarm earlier in order to get to work early. 3. Focus on work instead of on family until more familiar with the environment. 4. Differentiate between "have to do" and "nice to do" at work. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The nurse should not try to eat lunch while working. This will not help reduce feeling overwhelmed at work.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Getting adequate sleep and rest is one way to reduce feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Getting up earlier may cause enhanced feelings of stress because of fatigue. Rationale 3: The nurse needs time to relax through spending time with family and in other activities. Rationale 4: This nurse should differentiate between what is essential care at work and what is nice to do but can be eliminated on days when stress is high and resources are limited.

Page Number: 981 Question 6 Type: MCSA The nurse is caring for a critically ill child. While the nurse is preparing to administer a treatment to the child, the child's mother becomes distraught and begins to cry loudly while stroking the child's face. What is the nurse's best response to this occurrence? 1. Tell the mother that she needs to control herself for the benefit of her child. 2. Distract the mother by having her straighten the linens on the bed. 3. Explain the procedure that will occur with the treatment. 4. Take the mother out of the room and comfort her. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Although the mother's expression of anxiety is understandable, the child should be protected from this strongly upsetting situation. Just telling the mother to control herself discounts the seriousness of her anxiety and may serve to alienate the mother from the nurse. Rationale 2: This mother is too upset to distract by smoothing linens. Rationale 3: Explaining the procedure may help, but the mother should be removed at least temporarily and be comforted so that she will be able to receive the information. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 4: In this situation, the nurse must analyze which of the available options would be best for this mother and child.

Page Number: 981 Question 7 Type: MCSA A client is angry about not being permitted to smoke and throws the breakfast tray at the nurse. What should the nurse do in response to this outburst? 1. Call the charge nurse and refuse to take care of this client until he is under control. 2. Apologize to the client for the unit rules, but tell him the rules must be followed. 3. Tell the client that it is understandable that he is upset, but the no-smoking rule is not negotiable. 4. Tell the client that he is acting like a child and that such behavior will not be tolerated. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The nurse cannot refuse to care for the client once the assignment has been accepted, as this may constitute client abandonment. Rationale 2: The nurse should not assume responsibility for the anger by apologizing. Rationale 3: Telling the client that it is understandable that he is upset serves to show that the nurse accepts his right to be angry, but that the anger is the client's. Rationale 4: Admonishing the client by saying that he is acting like a child is not professional and will most likely serve to destroy any hope of resolving this issue.

"People generally find it easier to work through a crisis if someone is working with them." 3. "Men often handle crisis better individually, whereas women do better with a counselor." 4. "Experiencing a crisis is never positive, so we must work to relieve your anxiety as soon as possible." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: A crisis results in such a state of disequilibrium that it is generally self-limiting and not a long-term event. Rationale 2: In general, people are more successful in working through a crisis if they have someone to help them.

Make certain that the nurses are well prepared for their responsibilities. 3. Assign each nurse to spend 30 minutes with the hospital psychologist daily. 4. Ask administration to require 30 minutes of exercise at the end of each shift. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Asking physicians to assume nursing tasks is not appropriate. Rationale 2: In this situation, the best alternative is to be certain that the nurses are well prepared for the responsibilities of their jobs, as the frustration of being unprepared leads to burnout.

The client did not understand that there is no malignancy. 2. Anxiety can result from both positive and negative stimuli. 3. Because there is no malignancy present, the client feels there is no need for teaching. 4. These findings reflect mild anxiety, but the client should retain information taught despite this distractibility. Correct Answer: 2 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

The parents of an adolescent who has a history of depression are concerned because the physician has prescribed an SSRI antidepressant for their child. What information should the nurse use to formulate a response to these parents' concerns? 1. These medications are addictive and difficult to discontinue when the depressive incident is past. 2. It is difficult for teenagers to manage the dosage regimen for many of these drugs because they must be taken with a full meal. 3. There is an FDA warning regarding antidepressant use in teenagers and the increased risk of suicide. 4. Most of the SSRI antidepressant medications will deliver a marked improvement in depression within 3 to 4 days of the first dose. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Although the client may come to depend upon the medication relieving depression, the drugs are not addictive. Rationale 2: The medications must be taken with sufficient water, but a full meal is not necessary. Rationale 3: The major concern regarding use of antidepressants and teenagers is the increased risk for suicide. Rationale 4: Most of the SSRI antidepressant medications take at least 1 to 2 weeks to improve symptoms.

The nurse identifies this client’s reaction to stress as being a 1. stimulus. 2. response. 3. transaction. 4. negotiation. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Stress is defined as a stimulus, a life event, or a set of circumstances that arouses physiological and/or psychological reactions that can increase the individual’s vulnerability to illness. Rationale 2: Stress that is considered as a response is defined as the nonspecific response of the body to any kind of demand made upon it. Rationale 3: Stress that is a transaction refers to any event in which environmental demands, internal demands, or both tax or exceed the adaptive resources of an individual, social system, or tissue system. The individual responds to perceived environmental changes with adaptive or coping responses. Rationale 4: Negotiation is not a type of stress reaction.

Page Number: 974 Question 23 Type: MCSA The nurse identifies that a client is experiencing the resistance stage of the general adaption syndrome. What did the nurse assess to make this clinical decision? 1. The client is unable to focus on activities and events. 2. The client is exhausted, and spends time sleeping. 3. There is localized swelling and inflammation of the client’s leg wound. 4. The client’s capillary blood glucose level is 180 mg/dL. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The client’s inability to focus on activities and events is not a characteristic of the resistance stage of the general adaption syndrome. Rationale 2: The client’s being exhausted and sleeping are characteristics of the stage of exhaustion within the general adaption syndrome.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: In the second stage in the general adaption syndrome, the stage of resistance is when the body’s adaption takes place. The body attempts to cope with the stressor and to limit the stressor to the smallest area of the body that can deal with it, such as with localized swelling and inflammation of a leg wound. Rationale 4: An elevated capillary blood glucose level is a finding associated with the alarm stage of the general adaption syndrome.

Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Epinephrine 2. Estrogen 3. Norepinephrine 4. Corticotropin-releasing 5. Progesterone Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4 Rationale 1: In the alarm phase of the general adaption syndrome, epinephrine secretion is increased, which affects heart rate, breathing, and blood-clotting mechanisms. Rationale 2: Estrogen is not affected in the alarm phase of the general adaption syndrome. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: In the alarm phase of the general adaption syndrome, norepinephrine secretion is increased, which decreases blood flow to the kidney and increases renin release. Rationale 4: The hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone, which stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotropic hormone. This causes increased fat mobilization to make energy available and to synthesize other compounds needed by the body. Rationale 5: Progesterone is not affected in the alarm phase of the general adaption syndrome.

The nurse suspects the client is experiencing which cognitive indicator of stress? 1. Problem solving 2. Self-control 3. Structuring 4. Daydreaming. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Problem solving involves thinking through the threatening situation, using specific steps to arrive at a solution. The person assesses the situation or problem, analyzes or defines it, chooses alternatives, carries out the selected alternative, and evaluates whether the solution was successful. Rationale 2: Self-control is assuming a manner and facial expression that convey a sense of being in control or in charge. When self-control prevents panic and harmful or nonproductive actions in a threatening situation, it is a helpful response that conveys strength. Self-control carried to an extreme, however, can delay problem solving Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


and prevent a person from receiving the support of others, who might perceive the person as handling the situation well, as cold, or as unconcerned. Rationale 3: Structuring is the arrangement or manipulation of a situation so that the threatening events do not occur. Rationale 4: Daydreaming is likened to make-believe. Unfulfilled wishes and desires are imagined as fulfilled, or a threatening experience is reworked or replayed so that it ends differently from reality.

Dilated pupils 2. Diaphoretic 3. Tachycardia 4. Flaccid muscle tone 5. Excessive oral secretions Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3 Rationale 1: Pupils dilate to increase visual perception when serious threats to the body arise. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Sweat production or diaphoresis increases to control elevated body heat due to increased metabolism. Rationale 3: The heart rate increases to transport nutrients and by-products of metabolism more efficiently. Rationale 4: Muscle tension increases to prepare for rapid motor activity or defense.

The nurse recognizes the client is utilizing which type of coping strategy? 1. Short term 2. Long term 3. Adaptive 4. Effective Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Short-term coping strategies can reduce stress to a tolerable limit temporarily, but are ineffective ways to deal with reality permanently. They can even have a destructive or detrimental effect on the person. An example of short-term strategies is using alcoholic beverages or drugs. Rationale 2: Long-term coping strategies can be constructive and practical, and include talking with others, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, balancing leisure time with working, and using problem solving in decision making instead of anger or other nonconstructive responses.

The nurse is caring for the family of a terminally ill client. The family members have been tearful and sad since the diagnosis was given. What is the best nursing diagnosis problem statement for this family? 1. Anticipatory Grieving 2. Dysfunctional Grieving 3. Hopelessness 4. Caregiver Role Strain Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Grieving prior to the actual loss is termed anticipatory grieving. Rationale 2: There are no assessment findings in the question that indicate dysfunctional grieving. Rationale 3: There are no assessment findings in the question that indicate hopelessness. Rationale 4: This reaction is typical of family members, so there is no indication that the family is exhibiting caregiver role strain.

What should the nurse teach the family about the reactions of children to death? 1. Toddlers perceive death as irreversible and unnatural. 2. Preschool children view death as a spiritual release. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. At about age 9, children begin to understand that death is inevitable. 4. Adolescents tend to have better outcomes than adults after a loss. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Toddlers fear abandonment. Rationale 2: Preschoolers view death as reversible. Rationale 3: At about age 9, children's concept of death matures and most understand that death is an inevitable part of life. Rationale 4: Adults generally have better outcomes than adolescents when confronted with death.

Page Number: 996 Question 4 Type: MCSA The nurse is assigning support personnel to assist the families of clients who have died in dealing with the stress related to the loss of their family members. Which family would the nurse screen as at highest risk for complicated grief? The family of a client who 1. died after a long battle against cancer. 2. died after developing diabetes-induced renal failure. 3. was killed in the robbery of a bank. 4. died from chronic heart disease. Correct Answer: 3 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: The client who died of cancer does not meet the criteria as well as the murdered client. Rationale 2: The client who died of renal failure does not meet the criteria as well as the murdered client. Rationale 3: Although all families are different and all families can respond to grief differently, research supports a greater potential for complicated grief in families whose loved one died suddenly, violently, or unexpectedly. Of the options given, the client who was murdered best fits all three situations. Rationale 4: The client who died of heart disease had been ill for some time and does not meet the criteria as well as the murdered client.

Page Number: 990 Question 5 Type: MCSA The nurse critically evaluates various models of grief used for terminally ill clients and their families. What should the nurse recognize when applying these models to individual cases? 1. The Kübler-Ross model is primarily used to describe anticipatory grief. 2. No clear timetables exist, nor are there clear-cut stages of grief. 3. The models serve as clear and definitive predictors of grief behaviors. 4. There is strong research proving that these models are not useful for many dying clients. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Kübler-Ross describes all stages of grief and grieving. Rationale 2: Although the models of grief are useful in guiding nursing care of clients who are experiencing loss, there are no clear-cut stages of grief, nor are there exact timetables.

Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Episodic coughing 2. No cephalic reflexes 3. Not breathing spontaneously 4. Inconsistent cardiac function on the heart monitor 5. Electroencephalogram showed no activity for 30 minutes Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5 Rationale 1: Episodic coughing might be a reflex or an attempt to clear the airway. This is not a manifestation of higher brain death. Rationale 2: Evidence of higher brain death includes absence of cephalic reflexes. Rationale 3: Evidence of higher brain death includes apnea. Rationale 4: Inconsistent cardiac function on the heart monitor indicates the client is still alive. Rationale 5: Evidence of higher brain death includes absence of cephalic reflexes, apnea, and an isoelectric electroencephalogram for at least 30 minutes.

Page Number: 997 Question 7 Type: MCSA A client is diagnosed with a terminal illness and is demonstrating anxiety. What intervention can the nurse use to help the client at this time? 1. Explore the client's history with other stressful life events and how successful coping was at that time. 2. Teach the family that while talking with the client about death and dying is permissible, they should not allow the client to dwell on death. 3. Supply information about the client's disease process and the expected trajectory of death only on a need-toknow basis. 4. Encourage early pharmaceutical intervention with antianxiety and sedative medications. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: It is most helpful for the nurse to know how the client has dealt with previous stressful life events so that support of positive coping mechanisms can occur. The client who has received a terminal diagnosis needs to discuss the future and the implications of the diagnosis. Rationale 2: The need for discussion and the amount of time needed will vary from client to client, so "dwelling" is an inappropriate descriptor. Rationale 3: The client must be given facts about the disease process and projected trajectory so that final business and relationships can be addressed. Rationale 4: Early use of antianxiety and sedative medications is not appropriate because these medications can adversely affect the client's ability to think clearly about the future.

It will get me, too." The nurse recognizes this statement as being 1. an indication of hopelessness that should be further evaluated for treatment. 2. a simple statement of the facts regarding AIDS. 3. common and expected in those facing the end of life. 4. proof that the client is accepting the facts of the illness and impending death. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: This statement reflects hopelessness. Hopelessness is not an expected feeling at end of life and can and should be treated. Despite the inevitability of death, the goal is for the client to continue to express hope of some nature. This hope might take the form of short-term completion of goals prior to death, for peacefulness at the time of death, or for attainment of the individual's personal belief about the afterlife. Rationale 2: This is not a simple statement of the facts regarding AIDS. Rationale 3: Feelings of hopelessness are not common and expected in those facing the end of life.

Abbreviated 2. Chronic 3. Disenfranchised 4. External Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Abbreviated grieving is grieving that is brief, but genuinely felt. Rationale 2: This client's grief is not yet chronic, as only 3 weeks have passed.

Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: "Let's think of something more cheerful" is changing the subject. Rationale 2: "You are doing so well, don't talk like that" is offering false reassurance and devaluing the client's concern. Rationale 3: The nurse should ask what it is that makes the client think about dying. This allows the nurse to collect and evaluate data before making a further response.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Loss of external objects includes the loss of inanimate objects that have importance to the person. The client might be experiencing this type of loss; however, there is not enough information to determine whether personal belongings were not also relocated to the assisted living facility with the client. Rationale 2: Separation from an environment and people who provide security can result in a sense of loss, such as in the client who has relocated from home to an assisted living facility. Rationale 3: The client was relocated to an assisted living facility. There is no information to suggest that the client is experiencing a loss of a loved one. Rationale 4: Psychological losses are often perceived losses in that they are not directly verified, such as with the loss of independence or freedom. The client who has moved from home to an assisted living facility might have this type of loss; however, it is not the primary loss in this case.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. Pregnant clients can exercise if exercise was a part of their life prior to pregnancy. 2. Due to the stress of a growing fetus, exercise should be limited to no more than 10 minutes per day. 3. Healthy pregnant women should exercise at least 30 minutes on most if not all days. 4. The pregnant woman's exercise should actually increase above normal recommended levels to prevent water weight gain. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Pregnant clients should be encouraged to exercise, regardless if exercise was a part of life prior to being pregnant. Rationale 2: Exercise should be done 30 minutes on most days. Rationale 3: The current recommendation of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is for healthy pregnant women to get as much exercise as the general population (30 minutes on most if not all days). This is a change from the previous recommendation that pregnant women can exercise. Rationale 4: There is no indication that the pregnant woman needs more exercise than the general population.

Institute an exercise plan that includes weight-bearing activities. 2. Increase the amount of calcium in the client's diet. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Protect the client's bones with strict bed rest. 4. Provide the client with assisted range-of-motion exercising twice daily. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Osteoporosis is a demineralization of the bone in which calcium leaves the bone matrix. One causative factor is lack of weight-bearing activity. Weight bearing helps to move calcium back into the bones, thereby strengthening them. A standard intervention for those attempting to prevent or reverse osteoporosis is beginning an exercise plan that includes weight-bearing activities. Rationale 2: Additional calcium in the diet after osteoporosis has begun is not thought to be effective. Rationale 3: Strict bed rest may well make the osteoporosis worse because there is no weight-bearing activity. Rationale 4: Assisted range-of-motion exercises are not weight-bearing activities and do not help delay or reverse osteoporosis.

Page Number: 1020 Question 4 Type: MCSA The newly admitted client has contractures of both lower extremities. What nursing intervention should be included in this client's plan of care? 1. Frequent position changes to reverse the contractures 2. Exercises to strengthen flexor muscles 3. Range-of-motion exercises to prevent worsening of contractures 4. Weight-bearing activities to stimulate joint relaxation Correct Answer: 3 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Frequent position changes will not reverse contractures. Rationale 2: The contracture occurs because the flexor muscles are stronger than the extensor muscles. This imbalance in strength pulls the inactive joint into a flexed position, and a permanent shortening of the muscle occurs. Rationale 3: Once contractures occur they are irreversible except by surgical intervention. The best nursing intervention is to keep the contractures from getting tighter (or worse) by providing range-of-motion exercises. Rationale 4: Weight-bearing activities will not reverse contractures.

Which assessment finding would support this assessment? 1. Decrease in blood pressure when moving from supine to standing 2. Decrease in heart rate when moving from supine to sitting 3. Pale color in the legs when lying in bed 4. Complaints of dizziness when first sitting up Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Orthostatic hypotension occurs when the normal vasoconstriction reflex in the legs is dormant and the client's central blood pressure drops when moving from supine to sitting or to standing. Rationale 2: Orthostatic hypotension is a drop in blood pressure not a drop in heart rate. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Paleness of the legs is not significant. Rationale 4: The blood pressure drops, the heart rate increases, and the client may complain of dizziness or may faint upon arising.

I have to stop halfway up the stairs to the bedroom, and just walking to the bathroom makes me so tired." Which nursing diagnosis is most likely appropriate for this client? Activity Intolerance: 1. Level 1. 2. Level 2. 3. Level 3. 4. Level 4. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The NANDA diagnosis Activity Intolerance is further individualized to the client's level of intolerance. Level 1 indicates normal activity with slightly more shortness of breath. Rationale 2: The NANDA diagnosis Activity Intolerance is further individualized to the client's level of intolerance. Level 2 indicates ability to walk about one level city block without difficulty or to climb one flight of stairs without stopping.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: The NANDA diagnosis Activity Intolerance is further individualized to the client's level of intolerance. Level 3 (this client's level) indicates ability to walk no more than 50 feet on level ground without stopping and inability to climb one flight of stairs without stopping. Rationale 4: The NANDA diagnosis Activity Intolerance is further individualized to the client's level of intolerance. Level 4 indicates dyspnea and fatigue at rest.

Page Number: 1030 Question 7 Type: MCSA The nurse is considering using the NANDA nursing diagnosis Impaired Physical Mobility in the care plan of a newly admitted client. In order to make this problem statement more individual, the nurse should take which action? 1. Include what mobility is impaired. 2. Use Level 1, 2, 3, or 4 to describe immobility. 3. Describe what happens when the client attempts mobility. 4. Add strength assessment data. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: In order to make this broad nursing diagnosis more specific to the client, the nurse should include what mobility is impaired. For example, if the client cannot transfer from bed to chair, a more specific nursing diagnosis is Impaired Transfer Mobility. Rationale 2: There are NANDA levels of activity intolerance, but not of immobility. Rationale 3: Describing what happens when the client attempts mobility might be used in the "as manifested by" section of the nursing diagnosis, but not in the problem statement section.

Page Number: 1030 Question 8 Type: MCSA The nurse is working on a hospital committee focused on preventing back injury in nurses. Which recommendation by this committee is most likely to result in a decrease in back injuries if followed? 1. Nurses must wear back belts when lifting clients. 2. All nursing personnel must attend annual body mechanics education. 3. In order to prevent injury, nurses must strive to become physically fit. 4. No solo lifting of clients is permitted in the facility. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Wearing a back belt does not prevent injury. Rationale 2: Body mechanics training does not prevent injuries. Rationale 3: Physical fitness does not prevent back injury. Rationale 4: The only option that has any influence on frequency of back injury is a practice prohibiting solo lifting.

Place the feet together to provide a strong base of support. 2. Flex the knees to lower the center of gravity. 3. Face the box, pick it up, and rotate the upper body toward the table. 4. Hold the box as close to the body as possible. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Placing the feet together makes the body more unstable and more likely to fall. Rationale 2: In order to pick up this box as safely as possible, the nurse should flex the knees to lower the center of gravity. Rationale 3: After picking up the weight, the body should not be rotated, but should be turned to face the table.

In which position should the nurse place this client? 1. High Fowler's position with two pillows behind the head 2. Orthopneic position across the overbed table 3. Prone position with knees flexed and arms extended 4. Sims position with both legs flexed Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The high Fowler's position should not be used with more than one pillow or with overly large pillows. Rationale 2: The orthopneic position across the overbed table facilitates respiration by allowing maximum chest expansion. Rationale 3: The prone position places the client on the abdomen and makes chest expansion difficult.

Type: MCSA While assisting the client with a bath, the nurse encourages full range of motion in all the client's joints. Which activity would best support range of motion in the hand and arm? 1. Give the client a washcloth to wash the face. 2. Move the wash basin farther toward the foot of the bed so the client must reach for it. 3. Have the client brush the hair and teeth. 4. Move each of the client's hand and arm joints through passive range of motion. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: This activity does not utilize all of the major joints in the hands and arms. Rationale 2: The wash basin should be close to the client to prevent overreaching and possible falls. Rationale 3: Brushing the hair and teeth includes more of the joints of the hands and the arms than does washing the face.

3. Measure the calf and compare to the opposite calf. 4. Medicate the client for pain and reassess in 30 minutes. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Palpating the area is contraindicated because injury to the vein may induce a thrombus. Rationale 2: Percussing the area is contraindicated because injury to the vein may induce a thrombus. Rationale 3: The nurse should measure the calf and compare it to the opposite calf. The client may be developing a deep vein thrombosis or thrombophlebitis. Rationale 4: Medicating the client and reassessing in 30 minutes might allow a worsening of the client's condition.

Always use two personnel to move the client. 3. Stand at the head of the bed to pull the client up. 4. Slide the client toward the head of the bed. 5. Encourage the client to assist as possible. Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5 Rationale 1: Placing a turn sheet on the bed will help overcome inertia and friction during moving. Rationale 2: Using two personnel will allow a "lift and move" rather than pulling or sliding the client over linens. Rationale 3: The personnel should stand on either side of the bed and use the turn sheet to move the client. Rationale 4: Sliding the client causes friction. The client should be moved using the turn sheet. Rationale 5: Encouraging the client to assist as much as possible will lighten the workload.

A licensed practical (vocational) nurse 3. A registered nurse 4. It makes no difference Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Because this is the first time this client has ambulated, the best choice is for the registered nurse to ambulate the client. Rationale 2: Because this is the first time this client has ambulated, the best choice is for the registered nurse to ambulate the client.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Because this is the first time this client has ambulated, the best choice is for the registered nurse to ambulate the client. The registered nurse must assess and evaluate the client's response to the ambulation. Once the client has successfully ambulated, any nursing staff member can assist. The registered nurse should make assistive personnel aware of potential untoward effects of ambulation and of what to report to the nurse.

Check the vital signs and for excessive vaginal bleeding. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This is not the priority for the nurse at this time. Rationale 2: All of these actions are important, but the priority is ensuring the client does not strike her head on anything when falling. The nurse should ease the client down while supporting her body against the nurse, protecting the head and laying it gently on the floor.

Reduce the movement of the joint just until the point of slight resistance. 4. Continue to exercise the joint as before to loosen the stiffness. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Stopping the treatment is not justified until an assessment occurs. Rationale 2: Stopping the exercises is not justified until an assessment occurs. Rationale 3: Range-of-motion exercising should never cause discomfort. In this case, the best action is to reduce the movement of the joint just until the point of slight resistance is felt and evaluate the pain response at that level.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 45 Question 1 Type: MCSA The mother of a newborn tells the nurse, "I am concerned about my baby. When she first goes to sleep, her eyes dart around under her eyelids, she doesn't breathe regularly, and she sometimes twitches." What advice should the nurse give this mother? 1. Please bring your baby in immediately for a checkup. 2. These are common behaviors in newborns and are normal. 3. You should ask the physician about these symptoms at your next checkup. 4. If your baby does this again, take her to the emergency department. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: There is no need for the mother to bring the baby in for an immediate checkup. Rationale 2: These are indications of normal REM sleep in the newborn. The mother should be reassured that this is normal. Rationale 3: Having the mother wait until the next checkup unnecessarily delays reassurance that this is normal sleep behavior for a newborn. Rationale 4: This is normal sleep behavior for a newborn. The baby does not need to be seen in the emergency department. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Applying Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Client Need Sub: QSEN Competencies: I.A. 1.

Type: MCSA The parents of a 6-month-old tell the nurse that they are exhausted because their baby wakes up several times every night. What advice should the nurse give these parents? 1. Be certain that the baby is truly awake before picking him up for feeding. 2. Let the baby "cry it out" for a few nights until he can sleep through the night. 3. Continue to respond to the baby whenever he is restless during the night. 4. Bring the baby in for a possible sleep study to check for sleeping disorders. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Babies often move and make noises while sleeping that do not indicate wakefulness. The parents should be certain the baby is awake before picking him up to feed, change, or comfort. Rationale 2: Letting the baby "cry it out" is not appropriate if he really needs care. Rationale 3: Continuing to respond to the baby whenever he is restless during the night is not necessary and may result in parental exhaustion.

2. Encourage the client to avoid taking pain medication prior to sleep. 3. Evaluate if the client perceives sleeplessness to be a serious problem. 4. Have the client perform moderate exercises before bedtime. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Alcohol can interfere with sleep. Rationale 2: If the client has pain, the nurse should not encourage avoidance of medication. Rationale 3: The first intervention is to determine what the pattern of sleeplessness means to the client. Many older clients will "nap" off and on through the day and night and spend wakeful times engaged in activity, even if the active times are not during traditional active hours.

Page Number: 1071 Question 4 Type: MCSA A client complains of not being able to stay awake during the day even after sleeping throughout the night. What should the nurse suggestion to this client? 1. Go to your physician for a physical examination. 2. Go to a mental health professional for evaluation of possible depression. 3. Purchase an over-the-counter sleep aid to deepen nighttime sleep. 4. Drink more caffeinated beverages in the daytime to stay awake. Correct Answer: 1 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Daytime hypersomnia is often due to medical conditions such as kidney, liver, or metabolic disturbances. The nurse should suggest that the client be evaluated by a physician. Rationale 2: Daytime hypersomnia is rarely caused by psychologic issues. Rationale 3: An over-the-counter sleep aid is not a good choice, as the client already sleeps well at night and sleep aids can sometimes cause future sleep disturbances. Rationale 4: Caffeinated beverages may increase daytime wakefulness, but will not help any underlying problem that may be present.

Encourage the client to take an over-the-counter medication to improve nighttime sleep. 2. Be certain the client has the prescription for modafinil (Provigil) filled. 3. Have the client purchase sodium oxybate (Xyrem) over the counter to prevent daytime drowsiness. 4. Be certain the client obtains antihistamines to control nasal stuffiness. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: In narcolepsy, nighttime sleep is not affected. Rationale 2: The medication modafinil (Provigil) is prescribed to control the daytime drowsiness associated with narcolepsy. Rationale 3: Sodium oxybate (Xyrem) is a prescription medication that has very limited availability. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

"Once I get regulated on the Provigil, I will wean myself off the CPAP." Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. "I will continue using my CPAP machine at night." 4. "I can turn down the pressure on my CPAP machine in about 1 week." Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Provigil is a medication that is for the treatment of narcolepsy, not sleep apnea. It will not prevent sleep apnea, so the client must continue to use the CPAP machine as it was used prior to the Provigil. Rationale 2: Provigil is a medication that is for the treatment of narcolepsy, not sleep apnea. It will not prevent sleep apnea, so the client must continue to use the CPAP machine as it was used prior to the Provigil.

Document that the client is noncompliant with the nursing plan of care. 3. Accept the declination but tell the client to call if he changes his mind. 4. Instruct the UAP to rub the client's back while assisting him to change into a clean gown. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The nurse should not force the client to have a back rub if one is not desired. Rationale 2: The client is not noncompliant; he is simply stating his preference. Rationale 3: Some clients are eager to have a back rub, but others are not comfortable with the close physical contact this intervention requires.

Page Number: 1078 Question 21 Type: MCSA A client tells the nurse that because of work and life responsibilities, sleep has “become optional.” What is the best response the nurse should make to this client? 1. “Be sure to get extra sleep when you can.” 2. “A lack of sleep can affect hormone levels and bodily functions.” 3. “Everyone has different needs for sleep to in order to function.” 4. “You must be very productive.” Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This statement implies that the client is not getting sufficient sleep. It would be more appropriate for the nurse to suggest that the client obtain more sleep on a routine basis and not just when able. Rationale 2: Different biological functions occur during sleep that become altered with the lack of sleep. The nurse should explain what is affected by a lack of sleep. Rationale 3: Although this might be true, everyone needs sleep. The client’s statement of sleep becoming optional indicates that the client is not getting sufficient sleep. Rationale 4: There are studies indicating that errors occur and changes in response times are altered with a lack of sleep. The client might not be productive with a lack of sleep.

A client with diabetes asks the nurse why his blood glucose level is higher on days when he sleeps less. What should the nurse explain to the client? 1. During sleep, the hormone cortisol is inhibited. If sleep is interrupted, cortisol levels will remain elevated, impacting blood glucose. 2. Because the client is awake more, it is likely the client is eating more, which is impacting the blood glucose level. 3. There is no relationship between sleep and blood glucose levels. 4. The body needs cortisol for the extra energy created by the lack of sleep. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The cortisol level falls during sleep. With waking, the cortisol level peaks. If the client with diabetes is not getting sufficient rest, the cortisol level will stay elevated, which will impact the control of blood glucose. Rationale 2: The nurse has no way of knowing what the client is ingesting that would impact blood glucose level and sleep. Rationale 3: There is a relationship between sleep and blood glucose levels. Rationale 4: The body does not use cortisol for energy.

The nurse realizes that the lack of NREM sleep can have which physiological effect? 1. Decrease urine output Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. Increase thirst 3. Increase susceptibility to infection 4. Decrease heart rate Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The loss of NREM sleep does not impact urine output. Rationale 2: The loss of NREM sleep does not impact thirst. Rationale 3: The loss of NREM sleep causes immunosuppression, slows tissue repair, lowers pain tolerance, triggers profound fatigue, and increases susceptibility to infection. Rationale 4: In NREM sleep, the heart rate decreases. With the loss of NREM sleep, this decrease would not occur.

Page Number: 1070 Question 26 Type: MCSA The nurse, seeing a client asleep, turns off the television in the room. The client opens her eyes and says “I was watching that. I wasn’t sleeping.” The nurse realizes that the client was demonstrating which stage of NREM sleep? 1. IV 2. III 3. II 4. I Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Stage IV is not a stage of NREM sleep. Rationale 2: Stage III is the deepest stage of sleep, differing only in the percentage of delta waves recorded during a 30-second period. During deep sleep or delta sleep, the sleeper’s heart and respiratory rates drop 20% to 30% below those exhibited during waking hours. The sleeper is difficult to arouse. The person is not disturbed by sensory stimuli, the skeletal muscles are very relaxed, reflexes are diminished, and snoring is most likely to occur. Rationale 3: Stage II is the stage of light sleep during which body processes continue to slow down. The eyes are generally still, the heart and respiratory rates decrease slightly, and body temperature falls. An individual in stage II requires more intense stimuli than in stage I to awaken, such as touching or shaking. Rationale 4: Stage I is the stage of very light sleep, and lasts only a few minutes. During this stage, the person feels drowsy and relaxed, the eyes roll from side to side, and the heart and respiratory rates drop slightly. The sleeper can be readily awakened, and might deny that she was sleeping.

Page Number: 1067 Question 27 Type: MCSA The parent of a preschool-age child asks the nurse what can be done to reduce the number of nightmares the child experiences. What should the nurse suggest to this parent? 1. Provide hot chocolate prior to bedtime. 2. Limit or eliminate television. 3. Engage in a physical activity before bedtime. 4. Play a computer game before bedtime. Correct Answer: 2 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Chocolate is a stimulant, and could reduce the child’s ability to fall asleep. Rationale 2: Preschool children wake up frequently at night, and they might be afraid of the dark or experience night terrors or nightmares. Often, limiting or eliminating TV will reduce the number of nightmares. Rationale 3: Physical activity is a stimulant, and could reduce the child’s ability to fall asleep. Rationale 4: Playing a computer game is a stimulant, and could reduce the child’s ability to fall asleep or cause an increase in nightmares.

The nurse should document this assessment finding as which factor that influences sleep? 1. Illness 2. Stimulant 3. Diet 4. Lifestyle Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The need to urinate during the night disrupts sleep, and people who awaken at night to urinate sometimes have difficulty getting back to sleep. Rationale 2: Caffeinated beverages and alcohol are stimulants that influence sleep. Rationale 3: Body weight and the use of beverages that contain l-tryptophan are dietary influences of sleep. Rationale 4: Hours of work, activity, and exercise are lifestyle influences of sleep. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

The nurse realizes that this emotional stress will have what impact on the client’s sleep? 1. More REM sleep 2. Less Stage 1 and Stage II NREM sleep 3. More NREM sleep 4. Less deep sleep and more awakenings during the night Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Chemical changes result in less REM sleep. Rationale 2: Chemical changes result in less NREM sleep in Stages III and IV. Rationale 3: Chemical changes affect deep and REM sleep. Rationale 4: Stress is considered by most sleep experts to be the number one cause of short-term sleeping difficulties. A person preoccupied with personal problems might be unable to relax sufficiently to get to sleep. Anxiety increases the norepinephrine blood levels through stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. This chemical change results in less deep and REM sleep and more stage changes and awakenings.

What should the nurse suggest to help this client with sleep? 1. Smoke no cigarettes 1 hour before sleep. 2. Smoke no cigarettes after the evening meal. 3. Limit the number of cigarettes smoked during the day. 4. Adjust to the lack of sleep, because those who smoke do not get sufficient sleep. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Smoking up to 1 hour before sleep will be too much stimulation before sleep. Rationale 2: Nicotine has a stimulating effect on the body, and smokers often have more difficulty falling asleep than nonsmokers do. Smokers are usually easily aroused, and often describe themselves as light sleepers. When refraining from smoking after the evening meal, the person usually sleeps better. Rationale 3: Limiting the number of cigarettes smoked during the day will not impact the client’s ability to sleep at night.

Page Number: 1097-1098 Question 19 Type: MCSA A client experiencing pain has been prescribed aspirin. The nurse realizes that this medication will affect which pain process? 1. Transduction 2. Transmission 3. Perception 4. Modulation Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: During the transduction phase, noxious stimuli trigger the release of biochemical mediators, such as prostaglandins, bradykinin, serotonin, histamine, and substance P, that sensitize nociceptors. Noxious or painful stimulation also causes movement of ions across cell membranes, which excites nociceptors. Pain medications such as aspirin can work during this phase by blocking the production of prostaglandin or by decreasing the movement of ions across the cell membrane. Rationale 2: The transmission of pain includes three segments. During the first segment, the pain impulses travel from the peripheral nerve fibers to the spinal cord. The second segment is transmission from the spinal cord, and ascension, via spinothalamic tracts, to the brainstem and thalamus. The third segment involves transmission of signals between the thalamus to the somatic sensory cortex, where pain perception occurs. Pain control can take place during this second process of transmission. Opioids block the release of neurotransmitters, which stops the pain at the spinal level. Rationale 3: Perception is when the client becomes conscious of the pain. Pain perception is the sum of complex activities in the central nervous system that can shape the character and intensity of pain perceived and ascribes meaning to the pain. The psychosocial context of the situation and the meaning of the pain based on past experiences and future hopes and dreams help to shape the behavioral response that follows. Rationale 4: Modulation is often described as the “descending system,” and occurs when neurons in the thalamus and brainstem send signals back down to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. These descending fibers release substances such as endogenous opioids, serotonin, and norepinephrine, which can inhibit the ascending painful impulses in the dorsal horn. In contrast, excitatory amino acids and the upregulation of excitatory glial cells can amplify these pain signals. The effects of excitatory amino acids and glial cells tend to persist, whereas the effects Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


of the inhibitory neurotransmitters tend to be short-lived because they are reabsorbed into the nerves. Tricyclic antidepressants block the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin, and may be used to help diminish the pain signals.

The nurse realizes that which process will influence this client’s perception of pain? 1. Transmission 2. Modulation 3. Perception 4. Transduction Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Transmission is a process by which the pain signals are transmitted to the brain. Rationale 2: Modulation is the process where signals are sent back down the spinal tracts in response to the pain. Rationale 3: Perception is when the client becomes conscious of the pain. Pain perception is the sum of complex activities in the central nervous system that can shape the character and intensity of pain perceived and ascribes meaning to the pain.

Question 27 Type: MCSA A client experiencing chronic pain is not getting relief with pain medication. What should the nurse do to help this client? 1. Ask the physician to change the prescribed pain medication. 2. Reassess the pain and consider another pain relief measure. 3. Limit interaction with the client. 4. Stop using alternative pain relief measures, if not effective. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: If a pain relief measure is ineffective, encourage the client to try it again before abandoning it. Medications might need repeated doses to saturate plasma proteins before sufficient “free drug” is available to work on the intended target. Rationale 2: Keep trying. Do not ignore a client because pain persists despite failed attempts to alleviate the discomfort. In these circumstances, reassess the pain and consider other relief measures. Rationale 3: The nurse should not ignore the client. Rationale 4: Many nonpharmacologic measures require practice before they are effective.

1. Provide NSAID medication as prescribed. 2. Coach the client with guided imagery. 3. Suggest the client read or watch television until the pain subsides. 4. Provide opioid analgesic as prescribed. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The selection of pain relief measures should be aligned with the client’s report of the severity of the pain. If the client reports mild pain, an analgesic such as acetaminophen might be indicated. Rationale 2: Using a technique such as guided imagery is essentially telling the client to ignore the pain, which is a misalignment of the pain severity and the intervention selected. Rationale 3: Using a technique such as watching television is essentially telling the client to ignore the pain, which is a misalignment of the pain severity and the intervention selected. Rationale 4: The selection of pain relief measures should be aligned with the client’s report of the severity of the pain. If a client reports severe pain, a more potent pain relief measure is indicated.

4. “All pain medication causes addiction. There is nothing that can be done to prevent it.” Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Stating that the nurse understands the client’s concern is not sufficient. The nurse needs to explain how the pain medication will not likely lead to addiction. Rationale 2: This response supports the client’s fears of becoming addicted to pain medication. Rationale 3: Clients are unlikely to become addicted to an analgesic provided to treat pain. Rationale 4: Not all pain medication causes addiction. Clients are unlikely to become addicted to an analgesic that is provided to treat pain.

What is the best response for the nurse to make to the client? 1. “The amount of tissue disrupted from the surgery is not related to the degree of pain you feel.” 2. “That could be so.” 3. “Taking pain medication for many years has made the medication ineffective now.” 4. “Are you sure the pain is as bad as you are saying it is?” Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Pain is a subjective experience, and the intensity and duration of pain vary considerably among individuals. The amount of tissue damaged or disrupted is not related to the amount of pain experienced. Rationale 2: This is not true. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: This statement assumes the client was taking pain medication for years, and would be incorrect and inappropriate for the nurse to make.

The nurse is concerned that the client is exhibiting 1. tolerance. 2. addiction. 3. physical dependence. 4. pseudoaddiction. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Tolerance is a state in which continued exposure to the medication causes changes that result in a reduction in the effectiveness of the medication over time. Rationale 2: Addiction is characterized by the behaviors of compulsive use of pain medication, continued use despite harm, and craving. Rationale 3: Physical dependence is a state of adaptation that manifests with withdrawal symptoms when the drug is stopped or drastically reduced.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 4: Pseudoaddiction is a condition that results from the under-treatment of pain where the client can become so focused on obtaining medications for pain relief that the client becomes angry and demanding, might “clock watch,” and might seem to display other inappropriate “drug-seeking” behaviors.

The nurse identifies the client’s behavior as being 1. addiction. 2. tolerance. 3. pseudoaddiction. 4. physical dependence. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Addiction is characterized by the behaviors of compulsive use of pain medication, continued use despite harm, and craving. Rationale 2: Tolerance is a state in which continued exposure to the medication causes changes that result in a reduction in the effectiveness of the medication over time. Rationale 3: Pseudoaddiction is a condition that results from the under-treatment of pain where the client can become so focused on obtaining medications for pain relief that the client becomes angry and demanding, might “clock watch,” and might display other inappropriate “drug-seeking” behaviors. To differentiate between pseudoaddiction and addiction, if the client’s negative behavior resolves when the pain is treated effectively, the client is exhibiting pseudoaddiction.

Methadone (Dolophine) Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3 Rationale 1: Reporting pain as a 2 on a scale from 0 to 10 means the client is experiencing mild pain. According to the WHO approach to pain management, the client should be provided with a nonopioid analgesic such as acetaminophen (Tylenol). Rationale 2: Reporting pain as a 2 on a scale from 0 to 10 means the client is experiencing mild pain. According to the WHO approach to pain management, the client should be provided with a nonopioid analgesic such as ibuprofen (Motrin).

Administer another dose of a nonopioid medication. 2. Administer an opioid for severe pain. 3. Administer an opioid for moderate pain. 4. Administer two doses of an opioid for moderate pain. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Because the client’s pain is persisting, the next step of the WHO ladder for pain control must be applied. Rationale 2: The next step of the WHO ladder for pain indicates that an opioid for moderate pain be provided, not an opioid for severe pain. Rationale 3: If the client has mild pain that persists or increases despite using full doses of step 1 medications, or if the pain is moderate, then a step 2 regimen is appropriate. At the second step, an opioid for moderate pain or a combination of opioid and nonopioid medicine is provided with or without coanalgesic medications.

They are useful for painful procedures such as lumbar punctures or bone marrow biopsies, or for injections. These products can also offer effective pain relief for chronic pain syndromes such as low back pain. Rationale 2: The rectal route is useful for clients who have difficulty swallowing, or nausea and vomiting. Rationale 3: The transmucosal route is helpful for breakthrough pain because the oral mucosa is well vascularized, which facilitates rapid absorption. Rationale 4: The transdermal approach delivers a relatively stable plasma drug level, and is noninvasive. The medication, however, is systemic, which might not be what is necessary for the client with chronic low back pain syndrome.

Apply ice to the knee over the cast. 2. Rub the knee of the non-casted leg. 3. Apply heat to the knee over the cast. 4. Rub the foot of the casted extremity. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Ice will not penetrate the cast. Rationale 2: The nurse can use contralateral stimulation, which is accomplished by stimulating the skin in an area opposite to the painful area, such as stimulating the left knee if the pain is in the right knee. The nurse should explain the rationale to the client in that nerves are crossed in the spinal cord, and that is why this technique works contralaterally. Rationale 3: Heat will not penetrate the cast. Rationale 4: Rubbing the foot might not be effective to reduce pain in the knee.

The health care provider is writing medication orders for a client recovering from spinal fusion surgery. When the client reports pain as a 9 on a scale from 0 to 10, which medications should the nurse consider providing to the client? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Oxymorphone (Opana) 2. Hydrocodone (Vicodin) 3. Oxycodone (OxyContin) 4. Morphine sulfate (morphine) 5. Hydromorphone hydrochloride (Dilaudid) Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5 Rationale 1: Oxymorphone (Opana) is an opioid analgesic for severe pain. Because the client rated the pain as 9, which is severe, this medication is appropriate. Rationale 2: Hydrocodone (Vicodin) is an opioid analgesic for moderate pain. Considering that the client rates pain as being severe, this medication would not sufficiently control the client’s pain. Rationale 3: Oxymorphone (Opana) is an opioid analgesic for severe pain. Because the client rated the pain as 9, which is severe, this medication is appropriate. Rationale 4: Morphine sulfate (morphine) is an opioid analgesic for severe pain.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 47 Question 1 Type: MCSA The parent of a newborn infant reports that the baby wakes up every 2 hours and only takes about 2 ounces of formula before going back to sleep. What instruction should the nurse give this parent? 1. Make the baby wait at least 3 hours between feedings. 2. Continue to feed the baby with this on-demand schedule. 3. When the baby gets sleepy during feeding, use techniques such as moving around and tickling to encourage wakefulness. 4. Offer the baby less formula to prevent waste. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Making the baby wait longer between feedings may result in feeding difficulties later in childhood. Rationale 2: Newborns are often fed following an on-demand schedule. This might include feedings every 2 hours at first. Rationale 3: Trying to keep the baby awake to feed may result in feeding difficulties later in childhood.

What criteria should the nurse use to evaluate to determine if an infant's regurgitation, or spitting up, should be further investigated? 1. How often the baby spits up 2. How much the baby spits up at a time 3. If the baby is gaining weight adequately 4. The consistency of the regurgitated matter Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Many babies spit up after every meal and some seem to spit up a great deal. Rationale 2: How much the baby spits up at a time is not included in criteria to evaluate if the regurgitation should be further investigated. Rationale 3: As long as the baby is gaining weight adequately, it is not abnormal for regurgitation or spitting up to occur.

Page Number: 1146 Question 6 Type: MCSA The client's lab studies reveal a normal serum albumin with a prealbumin of 10. How should the nurse interpret the significance of these readings? 1. The client has had recent protein malnutrition. 2. The client is now relatively well nourished with malnutrition 6 to 8 months ago. 3. The client is at risk for development of malabsorption syndromes. 4. Carbohydrate malnutrition has occurred over the last 6 months. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Prealbumin is the most responsive serum protein to rapid changes in nutritional status. A level below 11 indicates that aggressive nutritional intervention is necessary. Rationale 2: Serum albumin is the slowest of the serum proteins to reflect changes, so abnormalities indicate prolonged protein malnutrition. Rationale 3: There is no specific link to malabsorption syndromes. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Page Number: 1149 Question 7 Type: MCSA A client reports following the "food pyramid" to guide nutritional intake. How should the nurse evaluate this information? 1. Because this food pyramid is produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the client is likely consuming necessary levels of all essential nutrients. 2. The food pyramid is most useful when applied to the nutritional intake of children. 3. The food pyramid is not very useful because it does not take fluid intake and combination foods into consideration. 4. Following the appropriate food pyramid is helpful, but there are additional factors to consider in a balanced diet. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Overall, the food pyramid is a good guide, but unless the client eats a variety of foods from each group, some recommended nutrient levels may be missed. Rationale 2: Food pyramids are available for different age groups, including children, middle adults, and older adults. Rationale 3: The food pyramid does not take fluid intake and activity level into consideration. Rationale 4: Because there are numerous food pyramids, the client should be following the appropriate one, and other factors such as fluid intake and activity level should be considered in planning a balanced diet.

How should the client interpret the food label to decide if a food is low in calories? 1. The product label will state "lighter" or "reduced calories." 2. The Nutrition Facts label will have the letter "L" located in the lower right corner. 3. Nutritional labeling on the product will indicate less than 40 calories per serving. 4. The product will contain no more than 11% fat. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The words "lighter" or "reduced calories" only mean that this version of the food is lower in calories than a previous version, but the food can still be very high in calories. Rationale 2: There is no special label letter that indicates foods lighter in calories. Rationale 3: In order to qualify as a low-calorie food in a 2,000-calorie diet, the food must have less than 40 calories per serving.

The client is weighed each month while residing in the long-term care facility. This month the client weighs 110 lb (50 kg). The nurse compares this weight to the last 3 months' results and discovers the client has lost 22 lb (10 kg). There has been no attempt to lose this weight. How should the nurse interpret this weight loss? 1. No malnutrition 2. Mild malnutrition 3. Moderate malnutrition 4. Severe malnutrition Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: To calculate the level of nutritional deficit, the nurse first figures the current percentage of usual body weight and then compares that result to nutritional standards. To calculate the percent of usual body weight, divide the current weight by the usual body weight and multiply by 100. In this case, the client is at 91% of usual body weight. Mild malnutrition is 85% to 90%, moderate malnutrition is 75% to 84%, and severe malnutrition is less than 74%. This calculation is particularly important in an unintentional weight loss. Rationale 2: To calculate the level of nutritional deficit, the nurse first figures the current percentage of usual body weight and then compares that result to nutritional standards. To calculate the percent of usual body weight, divide the current weight by the usual body weight and multiply by 100. In this case, the client is at 91% of usual body weight. Mild malnutrition is 85% to 90%, moderate malnutrition is 75% to 84%, and severe malnutrition is less than 74%. This calculation is particularly important in an unintentional weight loss. Rationale 3: To calculate the level of nutritional deficit, the nurse first figures the current percentage of usual body weight and then compares that result to nutritional standards. To calculate the percent of usual body weight, divide the current weight by the usual body weight and multiply by 100. In this case, the client is at 91% of usual body weight.

Type: MCSA What nursing diagnosis is the most important for the nurse to include in the care plan of a client who has just been started on total parenteral nutrition (TPN) therapy? 1. Risk for Infection 2. Imbalanced Nutrition: Less Than Body Requirements 3. Activity Intolerance 4. Fluid Volume Deficit Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: TPN is delivered via a venous catheter and is very high in glucose. There is a very high risk for infection. Rationale 2: The client already has imbalanced nutrition, so although that nursing diagnosis would be included, it is not as important as the risk for infection. The TPN therapy is already addressing the imbalanced nutrition. Rationale 3: The client may have activity intolerance, but the risk for infection takes priority, as it can cause greater physical harm to the client. Rationale 4: The client is now at more risk of fluid volume overload from the additional TPN fluid.

Discuss ways to increase protein in the diet. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. Analyze reasons why fats should be limited in the diet. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: This would further decrease the client’s protein stores, worsening the nitrogen balance. Rationale 2: Nitrogen balance does not measure carbohydrate intake in the diet. Rationale 3: Nitrogen balance means the amounts of protein anabolism and protein catabolism are equal. In negative nitrogen balance, there is an excessive amount of protein catabolism or a decrease in the amount of protein ingested in the diet. Rationale 4: Fat intake does not influence nitrogen balance.

Page Number: 1149 Question 28 Type: MCSA A client diagnosed with negative nitrogen balance tells the nurse about participating in ritualistic fasts as a part of his culture. The client abstains from all food for several days at a time. What should the nurse discuss with the client regarding this practice? 1. The amount of weight the client will lose during the fasts 2. The need to ingest some carbohydrates for body functions 3. The amount of calories the client will need to ingest after fasting for several days 4. The importance of the practice to the client Correct Answer: 2

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: The client’s weight loss is not as important as is the harm the fast is doing to the client’s protein stores and nitrogen balance. Rationale 2: A person who fasts will obtain most of his or her calories from fat metabolism, but some of the body’s carbohydrate and protein stores must be used to support brain, nerve, and red blood cell function. The nurse should discuss with the client reasons to ingest carbohydrates to preserve the client’s protein stores during the ritualistic fasts. Rationale 3: The client’s need for increased caloric intake after the fast is not as important as is the harm the fast is doing to the client’s protein stores and nitrogen balance. Rationale 4: The importance of the practice to the client is not as important as is the harm the fast is doing to the client’s protein stores and nitrogen balance.

Correct Answer: 1, 5 Rationale 1: Nurses should not use a “good food, bad food” approach, but rather should realize that variations of intake are acceptable under different circumstances. The only “universally” accepted guidelines are to eat a wide variety of foods to furnish adequate nutrients. Rationale 2: The nurse should not support the client’s belief about foods being either “good” or bad.” Rationale 3: The nurse should not support the client’s belief about foods being either “good” or bad.” Rationale 4: This might not be enough to sustain the client’s calorie needs.

The nurse realizes this client’s nutritional status is influenced by 1. lifestyle. 2. culture. 3. beliefs about food. 4. religious practices. Correct Answer: 3

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Certain lifestyles are linked to food-related behaviors. People who are always in a hurry probably buy convenience grocery items or eat restaurant meals. People who spend many hours at home might take time to prepare more meals “from scratch.” Rationale 2: Ethnicity often determines food preferences. Traditional foods are still eaten long after other customs are abandoned. Rationale 3: Beliefs about the effects of foods on health and well-being can affect food choices. Many people acquire their beliefs about food from television, magazines, and other media. Food fads that involve nontraditional food practices are relatively common. Rationale 4: Religious practice also affects diet. In some religions, meat is avoided on certain days. In some faiths, meat, tea, coffee, and/or alcohol are prohibited.

Page Number: 1165 Question 37 Type: FIB A client is prescribed a 1600-calorie diet. Of this diet, 30% of the intake should be protein, 20% fat, and 50% carbohydrates. How many grams of carbohydrates should the client ingest every day? Standard Text: Calculate to the nearest whole number. Correct Answer: 200 grams Rationale: First determine the number of calories for carbohydrates by multiplying the total number of calories by the percentage; 1600 calories × 50% = 800 calories. Then divide the total calories by calories/gram. For carbohydrates, this would be 800 calories/4 = 200 grams. The client should eat 200 grams of carbohydrates each day.

1. A client who had bladder cancer and now has a newly created ileal conduit 2. A 25-year-old female client with low self-esteem 3. An 80-year-old male reporting frequent urination at night 4. The client with hypertension who takes a diuretic every day for blood pressure Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The client who had bladder cancer and now has an ileal conduit doesn't have kidney damage, only the bladder removed. Continued urine production through the ileal conduit will need to be observed and assessed frequently by the staff. Rationale 2: The 25-year-old experiencing low self-esteem has a psychological problem and will need therapy to find the root of the problem. Rationale 3: The client who is 80 years old with frequent urination at night is having problems with his prostate. Older male adults experience urinary retention due to prostate enlargement causing an alteration in urinary elimination. Rationale 4: The client with high blood pressure takes her medication to remove excess fluid from the body, and as long as urine elimination increases, there should be no problems.

Page Number: 1180 Question 3 Type: MCSA A client tells the nurse about the need to get up several times throughout the night to void. The nurse suspects the client is experiencing nocturia due to which factor? 1. Decrease in bladder tone 2. Decrease in blood supply Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Decrease in number of nephrons 4. Decrease in cardiac output Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Nocturia is voiding frequently at night. An increased intake of fluid causes some increase in the frequency of voiding. Conditions such as urinary tract infection (UTI), stress, and pregnancy can cause frequent voiding of small quantities of urine. Total fluid intake and output may be normal. Rationale 2: A decrease in blood supply causes an increase in urine concentration. Rationale 3: A decrease in the number of nephrons decreases the filtration rate. Rationale 4: A decrease in cardiac output decreases peripheral circulation, which would decrease urinary output during both the day and the night.

Page Number: 1180 Question 4 Type: MCSA Which intervention would the nurse plan to help a client prevent a urinary tract infection? 1. Encourage the use of bubble baths. 2. Have the client increase sugar in the diet. 3. Instruct the client to empty the bladder completely. 4. Wipe from back to front. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Irritating soaps and bubble baths can contribute to infections and should be avoided. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: The client should decrease the amount of sugar in the diet because sugar promotes bacterial growth. Rationale 3: Completely emptying the bladder prevents stasis of urine, which would contribute to a urinary tract infection. Rationale 4: The client should wipe from front to back because wiping from back to front would contaminate the urinary meatus.

Increase fluid intake. 3. Notify the physician if the stoma is deep pink and shiny. 4. Strands of blood may appear in the urine. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The appliance should be changed as necessary. Changing the appliance too frequently can cause skin breakdown. Rationale 2: Increasing the fluid intake helps to flush out sediment and mucus and prevents clogging of the stoma. Rationale 3: A deep pink, shiny stoma is normal, and there's no need to notify the physician. Rationale 4: Strands of mucus, not blood, may appear in urine because of the mucus-producing cells of the ileum. Global Rationale: Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Gently retract the labia majora away from the urinary meatus. 3. Observe urine in the drainage bag. 4. Retape the catheter to the thigh. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Gloves are to be worn for cleaning but not sterile gloves. Rationale 2: When giving catheter care to a female, the labia minora is gently retracted away from the urinary meatus, not the labia majora. Rationale 3: The urine in the tubing should be observed, not the urine in the bag. Observing the urine in the tubing promotes accurate assessment of urine.

Risk for Impaired Skin Integrity related to catheter placement 2. Risk for Infection related to improper handling 3. Self-Care Deficit related to presence of a retention catheter 4. Risk for Incontinence related to an obstruction Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: There is a possibility of skin impairment with a catheter, but the emphasis here is on where the drainage bag was found. Rationale 2: The floor is the dirtiest place, so the drainage device should never be placed on the floor. Rationale 3: Even though a client has a catheter in place, it does not restrict one from providing self-care. The client may need some assistance.

Question 8 Type: MCSA The nurse is identifying outcomes for a client with the nursing diagnosis Stress Urinary Incontinence. Which outcome would be related to sphincter incompetence? 1. The client will empty her bladder every time she voids. 2. The client will improve her incontinence within 1 month. 3. The client will perform four to five squeezes for 5 to 10 seconds. 4. The client will stop the flow of urine when voiding. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Emptying the bladder completely every time she voids would not be realistic in the beginning. This will take time. Rationale 2: Improved continence takes 3 to 6 months, so 1 month is not a realistic goal. Rationale 3: Performing four to five squeezes for 5 to 10 seconds is the goal to start with when teaching a client Kegel exercises, which are used for stress and urge incontinence. Rationale 4: Clients are not instructed to stop the flow of urine when voiding because this could lead to retention.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. The client will avoid bladder distention. 2. The client will maintain fluid imbalance. 3. The client will remain free of skin breakdown. 4. The client will voice increased discomfort. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Avoiding bladder distention will help eliminate stasis of urine in the bladder, which contributes to urinary tract infections, a possible complication of urine flow being obstructed from an enlarged prostate. Rationale 2: One would want to maintain fluid balance, not imbalance, with a client with urinary obstruction and enlarged prostate. Keeping up with the client's intake and output would be a better goal. Rationale 3: It is important to keep urine off the skin to prevent breakdown, but with an enlarged prostate the problem will be more of the client retaining urine instead of it being on the skin. Rationale 4: One would hope that if the retention subsides, the client would voice less discomfort, not more.

Palpation and observation Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The nurse will not use auscultation when assessing the client's urinary system. Rationale 2: The percussion technique is the least frequently used by nurses, and it would cause discomfort if this client is already uncomfortable with a kidney condition. The nurse should not make matters worse. Rationale 3: The nurse will not use auscultation when assessing the client's urinary system. Rationale 4: The hands and sense of touch are used with palpation to gather data along with observation or inspection, which visually allows the nurse to observe all responses and nonverbal behavior. It is also the most frequently used technique and the most convenient.

Leakage of urine occurs when client laughs. 3. Leakage of urine occurs when talking with the client. 4. The skin of the client is clear without discoloration. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: A client with incontinence would wear some kind of undergarment pad. Cotton undergarments alone would not provide protection for catching the urine. Rationale 2: Incontinence involves a small leakage of urine when a client laughs. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Incontinence does not occur if a client just carries on a conversation. Rationale 4: If the client has been experiencing incontinence, the nurse might expect to see the skin inflamed and irritated because urine is very irritating to the skin.

How should the nurse interpret the results? 1. Dehydration 2. Diabetic ketoacidosis 3. Trauma 4. Urinary tract infection Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: An elevated specific gravity is seen in dehydration. Rationale 2: The glucose would be elevated in diabetic ketoacidosis. Rationale 3: Blood would be present in trauma. Rationale 4: The pH, glucose, specific gravity, and protein are all within normal limits. Urine is usually clear to slightly cloudy, and WBC count can be from 0 to 4. Therefore, the gross cloudiness and WBC count of 10–15 are not normal, indicating a urinary tract infection.

Which returned demonstration by the client indicates that teaching has been effective? 1. The client empties the drainage bag once a day. 2. The client hangs the drainage bag on the towel rod. 3. The client refuses drinks one to two 8-ounce glasses of fluid each day. 4. The client takes a shower each day. Correct Answer: 4 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: The drainage bag should be emptied regularly, not just once a day but at least three times a day. Rationale 2: Hanging the drainage bag on the towel rod is too high. The drainage bag should be hung below the bladder. Rationale 3: Adequate amounts of fluids should be consumed to help prevent sediments and infections. Rationale 4: The client should take a shower rather than a tub bath because sitting in a tub allows bacteria to easily access the urinary tract.

Page Number: 1188 Question 18 Type: MCSA A client recovering from a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with a three-way indwelling catheter expresses the need to urinate. Which action should the nurse take to help this client? 1. Deflate and then reinflate the balloon. 2. Irrigate the catheter. 3. Reposition the catheter. 4. Retape the catheter to the abdomen. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Deflating and reinflating the balloon is not an option. The surgeon knows how much pressure is needed to control bleeding after surgery. Rationale 2: Blood clots give the client the sensation to urinate when they obstruct the urine outflow; therefore, irrigation will have to remedy the problem. Rationale 3: Repositioning the catheter would not be an option right after surgery. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 4: The catheter is usually taped to the client's leg after a TURP and is not to be manipulated. This also controls bleeding after surgery.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 49 Question 1 Type: MCSA A client asks the RN why it is more difficult to use a bedpan for defecating than sitting on the toilet. Which would be the nurse’s best response? 1. The sitting position decreases the contractions of the muscles of the pelvic floor. 2. The sitting position increases the downward pressure on the rectum, making it easier to pass stool. 3. The sitting position increases the pressure within the abdomen. 4. The sitting position inhibits the urge to urinate, allowing one to defecate. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Expulsion of the feces is assisted by contraction of the abdominal muscles and the diaphragm, which increases abdominal pressure, and by contraction of the muscles of the pelvic floor, which moves the feces through the anal canal. Rationale 2: Normal defecation is facilitated by thigh flexion, which increases the pressure within the abdomen, and a sitting position, which increases the downward pressure on the rectum. Rationale 3: Thigh flexion increases the pressure within the abdomen. Rationale 4: The sitting position increases the downward pressure on the rectum.

A client asks the nurse why expelled flatus is foul-smelling. What should the nurse respond? 1. The actions of microorganisms within the gastrointestinal tract are responsible for the odor. 2. The client's emotions are causing the gas formation. 3. The sensory nerves in the rectum are being stimulated. 4. The client has swallowed too much air while eating. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The actions of the microorganisms are responsible for the odor produced and also the color of the feces. Rationale 2: Extreme stimulation of the client's emotions would result in large amounts of mucus being secreted. Rationale 3: The sensory nerves, when stimulated, give one the desire to defecate, not form gas. Rationale 4: Eating too fast or talking while eating does cause the formation of gas but does not contribute to the odor.

Page Number: 1212 Question 3 Type: MCSA The home care nurse is reviewing a list of clients prior to making visits. For which client should the nurse plan interventions to decrease the risk of developing constipation? 1. An adult who is on bed rest 2. An infant who is breast-fed 3. A school-age child at recess Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. A toddler who is now walking Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Adults who are on bed rest are at greatest risk for developing constipation. Rationale 2: Infants who are breast-fed pass stools frequently, usually after each feeding, because the intestine is immature and water is not well absorbed. Rationale 3: School-age children may delay defecation because of play, but their activity still promotes regular bowel movements. Rationale 4: A toddler who is now walking has some control of defecation, and the nervous and muscular systems are sufficiently well developed to permit bowel control.

Page Number: 1215 Question 4 Type: MCSA The nurse is taking care of a client who states that he ignores the urge to defecate when he is at work. Which response should the nurse make to explain why this practice should be changed? 1. "If you continue to ignore the urge to defecate, the urge is ultimately lost." 2. "It is best to suppress the urge rather than suffer embarrassment at work." 3. "This is a common practice, and it will strengthen the reflex later." 4. "You will get the urge later; don't worry." Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: When the normal defecation reflexes are inhibited, these conditioned reflexes tend to be progressively weakened. When the urge to defecate is ignored, water continues to be reabsorbed, making the feces hard and difficult to expel. Ignoring the urge repeatedly will eventually cause the urge to be lost. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: This response does not explain why the client should change the practice. Rationale 3: Ignoring the urge will not strengthen the reflex later. Eventually the urge will be lost.

Decrease fluid consumption. 3. Increase fiber in the diet. 4. Note the precipitating event. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Changing one's daily routine can cause or contribute to diarrhea. Rationale 2: Decreasing fluid consumption may cause constipation. If a client has diarrhea and still decreases fluid intake, this can contribute to dehydration. Rationale 3: Increasing fiber in the diet when one already has diarrhea would just make matters worse.

The nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing constipation. Which client behavior indicates that teaching was effective? 1. The client continues to ask for his pain medication. 2. The client decreases his fluid consumption. 3. The client refuses to eat the bran flakes on his tray. 4. The client walks around the unit several times a day. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Pain medication contributes to constipation, especially those that are opiates. Rationale 2: Decreasing fluid intake further contributes to constipation. Rationale 3: Refusing to eat bran flakes would also promote constipation. Rationale 4: Increased activity such as walking promotes gastric motility, which increases bowel function.

Constipation 3. Diarrhea 4. Disturbed Body Image Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Lack of sphincter control contributes to bowel incontinence, not bed rest. Rationale 2: Lack of activity, as in bed rest, is a major contributor to constipation. Lack of movement slows bowel movements. Rationale 3: Diarrhea would come from a GI upset triggered by diseases, medication, or diet. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Client will increase the amount of sugar in the diet. 3. Client will limit fluid intake. 4. Client will regain normal stool consistency. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Defecating regularly once the diarrhea has subsided can be a goal, but it is too soon for this goal. The problem needs to be corrected first. Rationale 2: Increasing the amount of sugar in the diet will just add to the diarrhea. Rationale 3: Because the client is experiencing diarrhea, which can dehydrate the client and promote electrolyte loss, limiting fluid would not be appropriate. Rationale 4: Because this client is experiencing diarrhea, the goal would be to regain normal stool consistency, which would be less water in the stool and a more formed consistency.

Stick a pin into the drainage pouch to relieve any gas buildup. 4. Secure the faceplate to the drainage pouch so no skin around the stoma is exposed. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The drainage pouches are expensive, and they can be used for up to a week before being changed. Just daily rinsing and cleaning is necessary. Rationale 2: No special clothing has to be worn with a colostomy pouch. The client can wear the same clothes he or she wore prior to the surgery. Rationale 3: If a pin is stuck into the pouch, a hole will be left and it will cause leakage, which is not recommended. Rationale 4: The skin around a stoma is very susceptible to irritation and breakdown. To avoid skin irritation, the faceplate to the drainage pouch needs to fit close enough to the stoma so as not to expose any other skin.

What assessment data did the nurse use to make this clinical decision? 1. Bowel sounds active in all four quadrants 2. Clay-colored stool 3. Increased appetite 4. Semisolid and moist stool Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Bowel sounds active in all four quadrants is indicative of normal bowel activity. Rationale 2: Clay-colored stools would be an indication of a problem in the GI tract. Clay color is a sign of the absence of bile pigment (bile obstruction).

1. Drink two to four glasses of water daily. 2. Include more spicy foods and sugar in the diet. 3. Include more whole grains in the diet. 4. Use enemas as desired. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: For regular elimination, six to eight glasses of water should be consumed daily. Rationale 2: Increasing the consumption of spicy foods and sugar will cause diarrhea, which is not a normal fecal pattern.

The nurse realizes that the client has experienced which physiological function of the colon? 1. Flatus 2. Mass peristalsis 3. Haustral churning 4. Peristalsis Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Flatus is largely air and the by-products of the digestion of carbohydrates. Rationale 2: Mass peristalsis involves a wave of powerful muscular contraction that moves over large areas of the colon. Mass peristalsis most commonly occurs after eating, stimulated by the presence of food in the stomach and small intestine. In adults, mass peristaltic waves occur only a few times a day. Rationale 3: Haustral churning involves movement of the chyme back and forth within the haustra. This action aids in the absorption of water and moves the contents forward to the next haustra. Rationale 4: Peristalsis is wavelike movement produced by the circular and longitudinal muscle fibers of the intestinal walls; it propels the intestinal contents forward.

Rationale 2: The liquid stool associated with abdominal distention, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting is not an indication of diarrhea. Rationale 3: Trapped flatus does not cause the seeping of liquid stool. Rationale 4: A client who has a fecal impaction will experience the passage of liquid fecal seepage and no normal stool. The liquid portion of the feces seeps out around the impacted mass. Symptoms include anorexia, abdominal distention, nausea, and vomiting.

Page Number: 1221 Question 25 Type: MCSA A hospitalized client tells the nurse of the inability to have a bowel movement because “too many people are around.” What should the nurse do to promote normal fecal elimination for this client? 1. Provide a laxative. 2. Assist the client to the bathroom to ensure privacy. 3. Restrict fluids. 4. Assist the client with ambulation. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Providing a laxative does not address the issue that there are “too many people around” for the client to feel comfortable with bowel evacuation. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Privacy during defecation is extremely important to many people. The nurse should therefore provide as much privacy as possible for such clients, but might need to stay with those who are too weak to be left alone. Rationale 3: Restricting fluids would encourage constipation.

When planning care, for which client should the nurse include close observation for a decreased or absent cough reflex? 1. The client with a nasal fracture 2. The client with impairment of vagus nerve conduction 3. The client with a sinus infection 4. The client with reduction in respiratory membrane conduction Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Nasal fracture does not depress the cough reflex. Rationale 2: The cough reflex depends upon nerve impulse transmission via the vagus nerve to the medulla. The nurse must monitor clients with vagus nerve impairment (through spinal cord injury, trauma, CNS depression, or other means) for a decreased or absent cough reflex. This decreased or absent reflex places the client at high risk for aspiration or development of pneumonia or other respiratory infections. Rationale 3: A sinus infection will not depress the cough reflex. Rationale 4: The respiratory membrane is the alveolar/capillary membrane and is not implicated in decreased or absent cough reflex.

2. Increased respiratory depth 3. Increased respiratory rate 4. Decreased respiratory depth 5. Decreased respiratory rate Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4 Rationale 1: Use of accessory muscles often is an assessment finding indicating difficulty breathing. Rationale 2: Depth is often assessed when determining difficulty breathing. The depth of respirations can be deeper (tidal volume greater than 500 mL of air) or more shallow if partial obstruction is present. Rationale 3: Rate is assessed when determining difficulty breathing. Rate is generally increased.

3. Increased blood sugar 4. Increased sedimentation rate Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Hematocrit is the percentage of the blood that is erythrocytes, which contain the hemoglobin that carries oxygen. Long-term hypoxia may result in the body's attempt to increase oxygen-carrying capacity by increasing erythrocyte production. Rationale 2: BUN is a measure of blood urea nitrogen, not oxygen-carrying capacity. Rationale 3: The blood glucose level is not used to measure oxygenation.

Page Number: 1245 Question 5 Type: MCSA A client diagnosed with chronic obstructive lung disease who is receiving oxygen at 1.5 liters per minute via nasal cannula is complaining of shortness of breath. What action should the nurse take? 1. Increase the oxygen to 3 liters per minute via nasal cannula. 2. Lower the head of the client's bed to the semi-Fowler's position. 3. Have the client breathe through pursed lips. 4. Encourage the client to breathe more rapidly. Correct Answer: 3

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: In the client with chronic obstructive lung disease, the drive to breathe is often dependent upon low oxygen concentration. Increasing oxygen delivery by increasing the oxygen from 1.5 Lpm to 3 Lpm may be dangerous to this client. Rationale 2: Lowering the head of the bed makes it more difficult to breathe. This client should have the head of the bed elevated to the Fowler's position or should be assisted to lean over the overbed table to increase chest excursion. Rationale 3: The client should be taught to breathe out against pursed lips to increase the time it takes to exhale and to help keep airways open. Rationale 4: Chronic obstructive lung disease makes it difficult for the client to breathe out, so increasing the rate of respiration will not be helpful.

Place the client in Trendelenburg's position and ask him to cough forcefully. 4. Administer 25 mg of meperidine (Demerol) according to the prn pain order. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: There is no indication that this client needs resuscitation. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: This client is hyperventilating and should be assisted to slow down respirations. Techniques to slow respirations include counting respirations or having the client match respirations with the nurse, who then slows down the respiratory rate. Rationale 3: There is no need to place the client in Trendelenburg's position for coughing. Rationale 4: Demerol may slow breathing, but is not necessary at this time.

Page Number: 1247 Question 7 Type: MCSA The client is experiencing severe shortness of breath, but is not cyanotic. What laboratory value should the nurse review in an attempt to understand this phenomenon? 1. Blood sugar 2. Hemoglobin and hematocrit 3. Cardiac enzymes 4. Serum electrolytes Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Blood sugar is not used to evaluate respiratory function. Rationale 2: In order to exhibit cyanosis, the client's blood must contain about 5 g or more of unoxygenated hemoglobin per 100 mL of blood and the surface blood capillaries must be dilated. Severe anemia will interfere with the development of cyanosis, so the nurse should review the hemoglobin and hematocrit. Rationale 3: Cardiac enzymes are not used to evaluate respiratory function. Rationale 4: Serum electrolytes are not used to evaluate respiratory function. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Page Number: 1249 Question 10 Type: MCSA The nurse encourages the client to expectorate sputum rather than swallowing it. What is the rationale for this direction? 1. Sputum contains bacteria that should be expectorated. 2. Swallowing sputum is dangerous to the system. 3. The nurse should view the sputum for quality and quantity. 4. The client is likely to aspirate the sputum while attempting to swallow it. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Sputum does contain bacteria, but they are killed by the acid environment of the gastrointestinal tract. Rationale 2: There is no danger to swallowing sputum. Rationale 3: There is no good rationale for having the client expectorate the sputum except for the nurse to view it for quality and quantity.

The nurse is planning a time schedule for a client's twice-daily postural drainage. Which time schedule would be best? 1. 0800 and 1100 2. 1200 and 1800 3. 0700 and 2000 4. 0900 and 2100 Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Postural drainage should be scheduled to avoid hours shortly after meals because the treatment may induce vomiting and can be very tiring for the client. Because this client is getting the treatments only twice each day, the sessions should be separated as far as possible to allow for benefits across a longer time span. Rationale 2: Because this client is getting the treatments only twice each day, the sessions should be separated as far as possible to allow for benefits across a longer time span. Rationale 3: Postural drainage should be scheduled to avoid hours shortly after meals because the treatment may induce vomiting and can be very tiring for the client. Of the options offered, the one that takes into consideration the meal schedule and is most widely distributed is 0700 and 2000. Rationale 4: Postural drainage should be scheduled to avoid hours shortly after meals because the treatment may induce vomiting and can be very tiring for the client.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


1. Turn the client to the left side. 2. Increase the percentage of oxygen being delivered. 3. Check for an airtight seal between the client's face and the mask. 4. Increase the liter flow of oxygen being delivered. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: There is no need to turn the client to either side. Rationale 2: All oxygen is delivered at 100%, so there is no method to increase the percentage of oxygen being delivered. Rationale 3: The seal between the client's face and the mask should be snug, but will not be airtight. Rationale 4: To prevent carbon dioxide buildup, the nonrebreather bag must not totally deflate during inspiration. If it does, the nurse can correct this problem by increasing the liter flow of oxygen.

Suction the client. 3. Turn the client's head to the side. 4. Insert a nasal trumpet. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: The airway should not be taped in place, as it would then act as an airway obstruction if dislodged. Rationale 2: Although suctioning the client is possible with the airway in place, the client should be suctioned only when it is necessary. Rationale 3: The nurse should turn the client's head to the side to allow drainage of oral secretions.

A client with a nasotracheal tube in place has been restless and pulling at the tube. How should the nurse assess if the tube is still in place? 1. Count the client's respirations. 2. Assess the depth of the client's respirations. 3. Auscultate for bilateral breath sounds. 4. Deflate the cuff and listen for minimal leak. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Counting the respirations does not assess tube placement. Rationale 2: This will not determine tube placement. Rationale 3: The end of the endotracheal tube should sit just above the bifurcation of the trachea into the two mainstem bronchi. If the tube is in the correct position, the nurse should be able to hear equal bilateral breath sounds.

2. Pad the tubing where it contacts the client's ears. 3. Set the oxygen delivery to 5 liters. 4. Secure the cannula with ties around the client's head. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The humidifier should be filled with water prior to initiating therapy. Rationale 2: It is necessary to pad the cannula where it contacts the client's ears, as pressure irritation may occur. Rationale 3: Because this client has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the oxygen should be set at a lower delivery rate (generally no more than 1.5 to 2 Lpm).

Page Number: 1263 Question 21 Type: MCSA The nurse who is performing care for a client with a new tracheostomy needs to change the ties. What is the best method for changing these ties? 1. Remove the old ties, clean the area well, and then put on new ties. 2. Attach the new tape and tie with a square knot behind the client's neck. 3. Have an assistant hold the tracheostomy tube in place, remove the soiled ties, and replace the ties. 4. Remove the outer cannula, replace the soiled ties, and reinsert. Correct Answer: 3 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Removing the ties without an assistant could allow the tracheostomy tube to become dislodged. Rationale 2: The knot for securing the tracheostomy tube should be tied at the side of the neck to prevent an area of pressure development. Rationale 3: Because these ties are soiled, it is likely that they must be removed before new ties are attached. The safest way to perform this intervention is to have an assistant hold the tracheostomy tube flange in place while the nurse removes the old ties and replaces them.

Question 27 Type: MCSA A client who was a victim of a house fire is coughing. The nurse realizes that the purpose of the cough is to 1. improve oxygenation. 2. remove irritants from the nasal passages. 3. remove irritants from the trachea or bronchi. 4. close the glottis. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Coughing does not improve oxygenation. Rationale 2: Sneezing removes irritants from the nasal passages. Rationale 3: The trachea and bronchi are lined with mucosal epithelium. These cells produce a thin layer of mucus that traps pathogens and microscopic particulate matter. These foreign particles are then swept upward toward the larynx and throat by cilia. The cough reflex is triggered by irritants in the larynx, trachea, or bronchi.

The nurse realizes that which area of the body will respond to this level and influence respirations? 1. Alveoli 2. Trachea 3. Bronchioles 4. Carotid bodies Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: The alveoli do not respond to a low oxygen level. Rationale 2: The trachea does not respond to a low oxygen level. Rationale 3: The bronchioles do not respond to a low oxygen level. Rationale 4: Special neural receptors sensitive to decreases in O2 concentration are located outside the central nervous system in the carotid bodies, just above the bifurcation of the common carotid arteries, and aortic bodies located above and below the aortic arch. Decreases in arterial oxygen concentrations stimulate these chemoreceptors, and they in turn stimulate the respiratory center to increase ventilation.

MNL Learning Outcome: 4.10.2. Relate the factors that alter respiratory function to clinical manifestations and treatment. Page Number: 1246 Question 35 Type: MCSA A client is diagnosed with congestive heart failure. The nurse should assess the client for which conditions that can alter this client’s respiratory function? 1. Conditions that affect the airway. 2. Conditions that affect transport. 3. Conditions that affect the movement of air. 4. Conditions that affect diffusion. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Conditions that affect the airway are those that partially or totally occlude the respiratory passages. Rationale 2: Once oxygen moves into the lungs and diffuses into the capillaries, the cardiovascular system transports the oxygen to all body tissues, and transports CO2 from the cells back to the lungs, where it can be exhaled from the body. Conditions that decrease cardiac output, such as congestive heart failure or hypovolemia, affect tissue oxygenation and also the body’s ability to compensate for hypoxemia. Rationale 3: Conditions that affect the movement of air would alter the client’s breathing pattern. Rationale 4: Impaired diffusion can affect levels of gases in the blood, particularly oxygen, which does not diffuse as readily as does carbon dioxide. Hypoxemia, or reduced oxygen levels in the blood, can be caused by conditions that impair diffusion at the alveolar–capillary level, such as pulmonary edema or atelectasis, or by low hemoglobin levels.

Adjust non-humidified airflow as prescribed. 5. Move the tube to opposite sides of the mouth every 8 hours. Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5 Rationale 1: For an oral endotracheal tube, use an oropharyngeal airway to prevent the client from biting down on the oral endotracheal tube. Rationale 2: For an oral endotracheal tube, provide nasal care every 2 to 4 hours. Rationale 3: For an oral endotracheal tube, provide oral hygiene every 2 to 4 hours. Rationale 4: Provide humidified air or oxygen because the endotracheal tube bypasses the upper airways, which normally moisten the air. Rationale 5: For an oral endotracheal tube, move the tube to the opposite side of the mouth every 8 hours or per agency protocol, taking care to maintain the position of the tube in the trachea. This prevents irritation to the oral mucosa. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Applying Client Need: Physiological Integrity Client Need Sub: Reduction of Risk Potential QSEN Competencies: I.A. 1.

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapter 51 Question 1 Type: MCSA After a cardiac catheterization, an infant is diagnosed with a malformation of the mitral valve. The nurse will monitor the client for the development of a problem associated with the delivery of 1. oxygenated blood to the body. 2. deoxygenated blood to the lung. 3. oxygenated blood to the right atrium. 4. deoxygenated blood to the left ventricle. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: The mitral valve separates the left ventricle from the left atrium. Problems with this valve will impede the flow of oxygenated blood from the left atrium into the left ventricle for delivery to the body. Rationale 2: The pulmonic valve separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery. Problems with this valve would impede the delivery of deoxygenated blood back to the lung.

The client has experienced a myocardial infarction with damage to the inferior portion of the heart. Due to this history, the nurse monitors the client for the development of rhythm disturbances that are most directly based upon which factor? 1. The resultant change in blood sugar 2. Electrolyte disturbances from tissue damage 3. The automaticity of cardiac cells 4. Decreased blood flow to the liver Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Each cardiac cell can generate its own electrical impulse. Myocardial infarction interferes with the flow of blood to these cells, and the resultant ischemia makes the cells more irritable and more likely to generate an impulse. These uncontrolled impulses result in rhythm disturbances. Although extreme changes in blood sugar can result in cardiac disturbances, the most likely cause of rhythm disturbance following myocardial infarction is insult to the cells causing them to be irritable. Rationale 2: Each cardiac cell can generate its own electrical impulse. Myocardial infarction interferes with the flow of blood to these cells, and the resultant ischemia makes the cells more irritable and more likely to generate an impulse. These uncontrolled impulses result in rhythm disturbances. Although electrolyte disturbances can result in cardiac disturbances, the most likely cause of rhythm disturbance following myocardial infarction is insult to the cells causing them to be irritable.

Relate the factors that alter cardiac function to clinical manifestations and treatment. Page Number: 1290 Question 5 Type: MCSA A client has a heart rate of 170 beats per minute. For what will the nurse assess next in this client? 1. Increased cardiac output 2. Increased preload 3. Decreased afterload 4. Decreased cardiac output Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Cardiac output equals stroke volume x heart rate. Because this client has a sustained rapid heart rate, the ventricles are most likely not having sufficient time to relax and refill between contractions, so the stroke volume will decrease. Rationale 2: Preload refers to the degree to which muscle fibers in the ventricle are stretched at the end of the relaxation period. Rationale 3: Afterload is reflective of systemic vascular resistance. Rationale 4: Cardiac output equals stroke volume x heart rate. Because this client has a sustained rapid heart rate, the ventricles are most likely not having sufficient time to relax and refill between contractions, so the stroke volume will decrease. At the rate of 170, the compensatory increase in heart rate is no longer helpful in increasing cardiac output. This leads to a decrease in cardiac output.

Page Number: 1293 Question 8 Type: MCSA The 50-year-old who is postmenopausal asks the nurse about the use of estrogen replacement therapy to protect the heart. How should the nurse respond? 1. "This therapy is well proven to protect the heart in postmenopausal women." 2. "Estrogen replacement therapy is helpful to reduce the sleep disturbances and hot flashes associated with menopause, but does not protect the heart." Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. "Estrogen replacement therapy has been proven to have no effect on any postmenopausal symptoms and is not protective of the heart." 4.

It is better to exercise when it is cold. 2. Environmental temperatures have little impact on cardiac function. 3. Avoid exercise when the weather is hot or cold. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


4. Hot temperatures increase peripheral blood vessel contraction. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Cold temperatures increase peripheral blood vessel contraction and therefore peripheral vascular resistance, making it more difficult for the heart to circulate blood. Rationale 2: The nurse should advise the client to avoid exercise in hot or cold weather, as these extremes of temperature increase the workload on the heart. Rationale 3: The nurse should advise the client to avoid exercise in hot or cold weather, as these extremes of temperature increase the workload on the heart. Cold temperatures increase peripheral blood vessel contraction and therefore peripheral vascular resistance, making it more difficult for the heart to circulate blood. Hot temperatures decrease systemic vascular resistance by dilating peripheral vessels. This decrease makes the heart rate increase, thereby increasing the heart's workload.

Assist the client to turn, cough, and deep breathe every 2 hours. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


3. Assist the client to ambulate around the room at least three times daily. 4. Irrigate the client's nasogastric tube every 2 hours. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Measuring vital signs will not decrease the possibility of developing hypercalcemia. Rationale 2: Turning, coughing, and deep breathing every 2 hours will not prevent the development of hypercalcemia. Rationale 3: Hypercalcemia can occur from immobility. Ambulation of the client helps to prevent leaching of calcium from the bones into the serum.

Correct Answer: 1 Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: A phosphorus level of 2.3 is low and the client needs additional phosphorus. Provision of phosphorus-rich foods such as milk and yogurt is a good way to provide that additional phosphorus. Rationale 2: There is no indication of the need to place this client in strict isolation. Rationale 3: A high-carbohydrate diet is not going to improve this client's phosphorus level.

What instruction should the nurse give this infant's mother? 1. Have the infant be seen by a physician 2. Give the infant at least 2 ounces of juice every 2 hours. 3. Measure the infant's urine output for 24 hours. 4. Provide the infant with 50 mL of glucose water. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Parents and caregivers need to be taught the seriousness of vomiting or diarrhea in infants due to rapid fluid loss that can occur in this age group. They should also be taught the importance of bringing an infant in this situation to health care providers for evaluation. Rationale 2: Encouraging fluids for an infant who is actively vomiting will not improve fluid balance status, nor is juice the best choice of fluid. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 3: Simply monitoring the loss over the next 24 hours would increase the potential for the infant to become dehydrated.

What should the nurse assess as a priority for this client's care? 1. Presence of bibasilar crackles 2. Tachycardia 3. Decreased pedal pulses 4. Headache Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: Bibasilar crackles may develop secondary to fluid overload or to the disease process, but would not be particularly evident just after placement of the subclavian catheter. Rationale 2: Because insertion of a subclavian central venous catheter may result in hemothorax, pneumothorax, cardiac perforation, thrombosis, or infection, the priority finding for planning care is tachycardia. Rationale 3: A decrease in pedal pulses would not be associated with the placement of a subclavian catheter.

Page Number: 1352 Question 11 Type: MCSA A client tells the nurse about passing out after following a fasting diet for 5 days. Which acid–base imbalance should the nurse expect to assess in this client? 1. Respiratory acidosis 2. Respiratory alkalosis 3. Metabolic acidosis 4. Metabolic alkalosis Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Starvation would not result in respiratory acidosis. Rationale 2: Starvation would not result in respiratory alkalosis. Rationale 3: A client who is fasting is at risk for development of metabolic acidosis. The body recognizes fasting as starvation and begins to metabolize its own proteins into ketones, which are metabolic acids. Rationale 4: Starvation would not result in metabolic alkalosis.

How does the nurse evaluate this value? 1. There is a slight elevation. 2. This value is incompatible with life. 3. This is a low normal value. 4. This value is extremely elevated. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The body's pH range is normally 7.35 to 7.45. This is not an elevation. Rationale 2: The body's pH range is normally 7.35 to 7.45. Values lower than 6.8 or higher than 7.8 are generally considered incompatible with life. If the nurse assesses that this client is physiologically more stable than would be expected with this pH, the possibility of a lab error should be considered.

A client has experienced a narcotic overdose. What acid–base imbalance should the nurse expect to observe in this client? 1. Respiratory acidosis 2. Respiratory alkalosis 3. Metabolic acidosis 4. Metabolic alkalosis Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1: Because narcotics generally act to decrease or suppress respirations, this client is probably hypoventilating. The expected acid–base imbalance would be respiratory acidosis. Rationale 2: Respiratory alkalosis is associated with hyperventilation. Rationale 3: This imbalance occurs with too much acid in the body. The respirations will increase. It is not typically seen in a client experiencing a narcotic overdose. Rationale 4: This imbalance is seen in those with prolonged periods of vomiting or other conditions where the body loses acid.

Page Number: 1325 Question 15 Type: MCSA Ten minutes after the transfusion of a unit of packed red blood cells was initiated, the client complains of a headache. The nurse assesses that the client has slight shortness of breath and feels warm to the touch. What action by the nurse is priority? 1. Notify the client's physician. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


2. Discontinue the transfusion. 3. Slow the rate of the transfusion. 4. Prepare to resuscitate the client. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: This would not be the nurse's first action. Rationale 2: The priority intervention is to discontinue the transfusion. If this client is having a transfusion reaction, it will be better to limit the amount of blood transfused. The nurse would also contact the physician to collaborate on further treatment, but this action should be after the transfusion is discontinued. Rationale 3: Slowing the rate of the transfusion allows additional blood to be infused. Rationale 4: At this point, there is no need to prepare for resuscitation.

Page Number: 1315 Question 17 Type: MCSA A client has orders for the administration of IV fluid at a "keep vein open" rate in preparation for administration of IV antibiotics starting at noon. When the nurse goes to the room to start the IV, the UAP is preparing to bathe the client. What should the nurse do? 1. Instruct the UAP to wait until the IV is started to bathe the client. 2. Let the UAP start the bath on the opposite side of where the nurse will be starting the IV. 3. Tell the UAP to notify the nurse as soon as the bath is completed. 4. Give the UAP permission to skip the client's bath for today. Correct Answer: 3

Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 1: Because this IV is being initiated to support the administration of IV antibiotic therapy that is not scheduled to start until noon, the nurse should let the UAP give the bath and then start the IV. Rationale 2: Having the UAP bathing one side of the client while the nurse starts the IV on the opposite side would be uncomfortable and stressful for the client and could potentially compromise client modesty. This action would also not protect the IV site from movement while the UAP completes the bath. Rationale 3: Because this IV is being initiated to support the administration of IV antibiotic therapy that is not scheduled to start until noon, the nurse should let the UAP give the bath and then start the IV. This will protect the IV site from movement during the bath. Rationale 4: There is no reason to skip the bath.

Page Number: 1344 Question 18 Type: MCSA The nurse is preparing to start an IV in the hand of a client who has very small veins. Which actions would be useful in dilating the veins? 1. Position the hand at heart level. 2. Stroke the vein. 3. Have the client clench and unclench the fist. 4. Slap the back of the client's hand. 5. Massage the vein. Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5 Rationale 1: The hand should be lower than the heart to dilate the vein. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..


Rationale 2: Stroking the vein helps to dilate the vein. Rationale 3: Having the client clench and unclench the fist is a strategy used to help dilate a vein. Rationale 4: Slapping the vein is contraindicated and may actually reduce venous filling. Rationale 5: Massaging the vein helps with vein dilation.

Page Number: 1345 Question 19 Type: MCSA The client complains of burning along the vein in which a medicated IV is infusing. Upon assessment, the nurse finds the IV site is slightly reddened, but not warmer than the surrounding skin, and without swelling. What action should be taken by the nurse? 1. Slow the IV infusion and reassess the area in 15 minutes. 2. Apply ice over the IV site and vein. 3. Discontinue the IV and place a warm pack on the area. 4. Call the physician for direction. Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Simply slowing the IV will not prevent further damage to the vein and will also alter the amount of IV fluid and medication the client is receiving. Rationale 2: Ice is not indicated in the treatment of phlebitis. Rationale 3: This assessment likely indicates the beginning of phlebitis. The nurse should discontinue the IV and place either a warm or cool pack on the area. Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Test Bank ..

Page Number: 1329 Question 29 Type: MCSA The nurse is caring for a client who is being mechanically ventilated. Arterial blood gas analysis reveals respiratory acidosis. Which change in ventilator settings should the nurse anticipate? 1. Decrease in oxygen delivery 2. Decreased tidal volume of each breath 3. Increased respiratory rate 4. Increase in humidification of inspired air Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: Decreasing oxygen will not decrease CO2 levels. Rationale 2: Decreasing the tidal volume will not decrease CO2 levels. Rationale 3: This client needs to "blow off" more CO2; therefore the respiratory rate would be increased. Rationale 4: Increasing the humidification will not decrease CO2 levels.

Page Number: 1325 Question 30 Type: MCSA An older client receiving intravenous fluids at 175 ml/hr is demonstrating crackles, shortness of breath, and distended neck veins. The nurse recognizes these findings as being which complication of intravenous fluid therapy? 1. An allergic reaction to the antibiotics in the fluid 2. Fluid volume excess 3. Pulmonary embolism 4. Speed shock Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1: The information provided does not support that the client is receiving an antibiotic. Rationale 2: Fluid volume excess may occur if clients, especially the very young or elderly, receive IV fluid rapidly. Rationale 3: The information provided does not support the development of a pulmonary embolism. Rationale 4: The client has been receiving fluids at the established rate and would not be experiencing symptoms of speed shock.

MNL Learning Outcome: 4.13.4. Implement the nursing process to maintain or restore normal fluid and electrolyte balance. Page Number: 1319 Question 31 Type: MCMA A client sustained a significant loss of blood after a motor vehicle accident. The nurse notes that the client’s urine output has decreased and suspects that which hormones have influenced this client’s fluid balance? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Aldosterone 2. Angiotensin 3. Antidiuretic hormone 4. Estrogen 5. Progesterone Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3 Rationale 1: Aldosterone promotes sodium retention in the distal nephron, reducing urine output. Rationale 2: Angiotensin acts directly on the nephrons to promote sodium and water retention. Rationale 3: When serum osmolality rises, antidiuretic hormone is produced, causing the collecting ducts to become more permeable to water. This increased permeability allows more water to be reabsorbed into the blood. As more water is reabsorbed, urine output falls and serum osmolality decreases, because the water dilutes body fluids. Rationale 4: Estrogen is not a hormone that participates in fluid balance in the body. Rationale 5: Progesterone is not a hormone that participates in fluid balance in the body.

Examine the processes involved in the body’s maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance. Page Number: 1313 Question 32 Type: MCMA A client tells the nurse about rarely feeling thirsty. The nurse realizes that further assessment is needed to evaluate Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. status of osmotic pressure. 2. vascular volume. 3. presence of angiotensin. 4. urine output. 5. body weight. Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3 Rationale 1: A number of stimuli trigger the thirst center, including the osmotic pressure of body fluids. Rationale 2: A number of stimuli trigger the thirst center, including vascular volume. Rationale 3: A number of stimuli trigger the thirst center, including angiotensin. Rationale 4: Urine output does not trigger the thirst center. Rationale 5: Body weight does not trigger the thirst center.

MNL Learning Outcome: 4.13.1. Examine the processes involved in the body’s maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance. Page Number: 1312 Question 33 Type: MCMA The nurse is preparing to discontinue a client’s intravenous infusion. Which actions should the nurse take when removing the catheter from the vein? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Pull the catheter out in line with the vein 2. Apply pressure to the site while removing the catheter. 3. Pull the catheter out at an angle perpendicular to the vein. 4. Bend the client’s elbow if bleeding at the site persists after removal. 5. Apply pressure to the site after the catheter is removed for 2 to 3 minutes. Correct Answer: 1, 5 Rationale 1: When removing an intravenous catheter, the nurse should pull the catheter out in line with the vein. This avoids injury to the vein. Rationale 2: Pressure should not be applied to the site while removing the catheter. Rationale 3: When removing an intravenous catheter, the nurse should pull the catheter out in line with the vein. An angle perpendicular to the vein will injure the vein. Rationale 4: Hold the client’s arm above heart level, not bending at the elbow, if any bleeding persists. Raising the limb decreases blood flow to the area. Rationale 5: After removing the catheter, immediately apply firm pressure to the site, using sterile gauze, for 2 to 3 minutes. Pressure helps stop the bleeding and prevents hematoma formation.
