MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which principle of teaching should the nurse use to ensure learning in a family situation?
a. Motivate the family with praise and positive feedback.
b. Learning is best accomplished with the lecture format.
c. Present complex subject material first while the family is alert and ready to learn.
d. Families should be taught using medical jargon so they will be able to understand the technical language used by physicians.
ANS: A
Praise and positive feedback are particularly important when a family is trying to master a frustrating task such as breastfeeding. A lively discussion stimulates more learning than a straight lecture, which tends to inhibit questions. Learning is enhanced when the teaching is structured to present the simple tasks before the complex material. Even though a family may understand English fairly well, they may not understand the medical terminology or slang terms that are used.

2. Which nursing intervention is an independent function of the nurse?
a. Administering oral analgesics
b. Requesting diagnostic studies
c. Teaching the client perineal care
d. Providing wound care to a surgical incision
ANS: C
Nurses are now responsible for various independent functions, including teaching, counseling, and intervening in nonmedical problems. Interventions initiated by the physician and carried out by the nurse are called dependent functions. Administrating oral analgesics is a dependent function; it is initiated by a physician and carried out by a nurse. Requesting diagnostic studies is a dependent function. Providing wound care is a dependent function; it is usually initiated by the physician through direct orders or protocol.

3. Which most therapeutic response to the clients statement, Im afraid to have a cesarean birth should be made by the nurse?
a. Everything will be OK.
b. Dont worry about it. It will be over soon.
c. What concerns you most about a cesarean birth?
d. The physician will be in later and you can talk to him.
ANS: C
The response, What concerns you most about a cesarean birth focuses on what the client is saying and asks for clarification, which is the most therapeutic response. The response, Everything will be ok is belittling the clients feelings. The response, Dont worry about it. It will be over soon will indicate that the clients feelings are not important. The response, The physician will be in later and you can talk to him does not allow the client to verbalize her feelings when she wishes to do that.

4. Which action should the nurse take to evaluate the clients learning about performing infant care?
a. Demonstrate infant care procedures.
b. Allow the client to verbalize the procedure.
c. Routinely assess the infant for cleanliness.
d. Observe the client as she performs the procedure.
ANS: D
The clients correct performance of the procedure under the nurses supervision is the best proof of her ability. Demonstration is an excellent teaching method, but not an evaluation method. During verbalization of the procedure, the nurse may not pick up on techniques that are incorrect. It is not the best tool for evaluation. Routinely assessing the infant for cleanliness will not ensure that the proper procedure is carried out. The nurse may miss seeing that unsafe techniques being used.

5. A nurse is reviewing teaching and learning principles. Which situation is most conducive to learning?
a. An auditorium is being used as a classroom for 300 students.
b. A teacher who speaks very little Spanish is teaching a class of Hispanic students.
c. A class is composed of students of various ages and educational backgrounds.
d. An Asian nurse provides nutritional information to a group of pregnant Asian women.
ANS: D
A clients culture influences the learning process; thus, a situation that is most conducive to learning is one in which the teacher has knowledge and understanding of the clients cultural beliefs. A large class is not conducive to learning. It does not allow questions, and the teacher cannot see nonverbal cues from the students to ensure understanding. The ability to understand the language in which teaching is done determines how much the client learns. Clients for whom English is not their primary language may not understand idioms, nuances, slang terms, informed usage of words, or medical terms. The teacher should be fluent in the language of the student.
Developmental levels and educational levels influence how a person learns best. For the teacher to present the information in the best way, the class should be at the same level.

6. Which is the step of the nursing process in which the nurse determines the appropriate interventions for the identified nursing diagnosis?
a. Planning
b. Evaluation
c. Assessment
d. Intervention
ANS: A
The third step in the nursing process involves planning care for problems that were identified during assessment. The evaluation phase is determining whether the goals have been met. During the assessment phase, data are collected. The intervention phase is when the plan of care is carried out.

7. Which goal is most appropriate for the collaborative problem of wound infection?
a. The client will not exhibit further signs of infection.
b. Maintain the clients fluid intake at 1000 mL/8 hr.
c. The client will have a temperature of 98.6 F within 2 days.
d. Monitor the client to detect therapeutic response to antibiotic therapy.
ANS: D
In a collaborative problem, the goal should be nurse-oriented and reflect the nursing interventions of monitoring or observing. Monitoring for complications such as further signs of infection is an independent nursing role. Intake and output is an independent nursing role.
Monitoring a clients temperature is an independent nursing role. PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: 18

8. Which nursing intervention is correctly written?
a. Force fluids as necessary.
b. Observe interaction with the infant.
c. Encourage turning, coughing, and deep breathing.
d. Assist to ambulate for 10 minutes at 8 AM, 2 PM, and 6 PM.
ANS: D
Interventions might not be carried out if they are not detailed and specific. Force fluids is not specific; it does not state how much. Encouraging the client to turn, cough, and breathe deeply is not detailed and specific. Observing interaction with the infant does not state how often this procedure should be done.

9. The client makes the statement: Im afraid to take the baby home tomorrow. Which response by the nurse would be the most therapeutic?
a. Youre afraid to take the baby home?
b. Dont you have a mother who can come and help?
c. You should read the literature I gave you before you leave.
d. I was scared when I took my first baby home, but everything worked out.
ANS: A
This response uses reflection to show concern and open communication. The other choices are blocks to communication. Asking if the client has a mother who can come and help blocks further communication with the client. Telling the client to read the literature before leaving does not allow the client to express her feelings further. Sharing your feelings about your experience with a new baby blocks further communication with the client.

10. The nurse is writing an expected outcome for the nursing diagnosisacute pain related to trauma of tissue, secondary to vaginal birth, as evidenced by client stating pain of 8 on a scale of
10. Which is a correctly stated expected outcome for this problem?
a. Client will state that pain is a 2 on a scale of 10.
b. Client will have a reduction in pain after administration of the prescribed analgesic.
c. Client will state an absence of pain 1 hour after administration of the prescribed analgesic.
d. Client will state that pain is a 2 on a scale of 10, 1 hour after the administration of the prescribed analgesic.
ANS: D
The outcome should be client-centered, measurable, realistic, and attainable and have a time frame. Client stating that pain is now 2 on a scale of 10 lacks a time frame. Client having a reduction in pain after administration of the prescribed analgesic lacks a measurement. Client stating an absence of pain 1 hour after the administration of prescribed analgesic is unrealistic.

11. Which nursing diagnosis should the nurse set as a priority for a laboring client?
a. Risk for anxiety related to upcoming birth
b. Risk for imbalanced nutrition related to NPO status
c. Risk for altered family processes related to new addition to the family
d. Risk for injury (maternal) related to altered sensations and positional or physical changes
ANS: D
The nurse should determine which problem needs immediate attention. Risk for injury is the problem that has the priority at this time because it is a safety problem. Risk for anxiety, imbalanced nutrition, and altered family processes are not the priorities at this time.

12. Regarding advanced roles of nursing, which statement is true with regard to clinical practice?
a. Family nurse practitioners (FNPs) can assist with childbirth care in the hospital setting.
b. Clinical nurse specialists provide primary care to obstetric clients.
c. Neonatal nurse practitioners provide emergency care in the postbirth setting to high-risk infants.
d. A certified nurse midwife (CNM) is not considered to be an advanced practice nurse.
ANS: C
Neonatal NPs provide care for the high-risk neonate in the birth room and in the neonatal intensive care unit, as needed. FNPs do not participate in childbirth care but can take care of uncomplicated pregnancies and postbirth care outside of the hospital setting. CNSs work in hospital settings but do not provide primary care services to clients. A CNM is an advanced practice nurse who receives additional certification in the specific area of midwifery.

13. You are taking care of a couple postbirth who are very eager to learn about bathing techniques that they can use for their newborn. Which teaching technique could the nurse use to facilitate parents learning about giving a bath to their newborn infant?
a. Provide direct, step-by-step demonstration to each parent separately to foster individual retention and comprehension.
b. Present information to parents prior to discharge so that the information will be current.
c. Have each parent bathe the newborn each time the infant comes to the room and provide commentary after the skill repetition.
d. Demonstrate bathing techniques on the newborn infant with parents in attendance.
ANS: D
Demonstration of bathing techniques is a form of role modeling that would enhance teaching and learning outcomes. Presenting the information at the time of discharge will not allow for identification of concerns and/or evaluation of whether the skill has been acquired. Although it may be advantageous to have each parent bathe their newborn, this action would not be advised in terms of time management and safety related to maintenance of core temperature.

14. Which statement is true regarding the shortage of nurses in the United States?
a. There are a larger proportion of younger nurses in the workforce as compared with older nurses.
b. As a result of decreased RN-to-client ratios, there is a decrease in client mortality in the clinical setting.
c. Increased needs for baccalaureate nurses are not being met by current enrollment.
d. There are adequate classroom and clinical facilities for training RNs.
ANS: C
According to an Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, by the year 2020, there will only be 50% of RNs with baccalaureate degrees. The required demand is at 80%. There are a larger proportion of older nurses in the workforce based on current research by the IOM. Increased RN-to-client ratios has resulted in decreased client mortality in the clinical setting. There are limitations of classroom and clinical facilities to train new nurses adequately.

15. A hospital has achieved Magnet status. Which indicators would be consistent with this type of certification?
a. There is stratification of communication in a directed manner between nursing staff and administration.
b. There is increased job satisfaction of nurses, with a low staff turnover rate.
c. Physicians are certified in their respective specialty areas.
d. All nurses have baccalaureate degrees and certification in their clinical specialty area.
ANS: B
Magnet status is a certification offered by the ANCC (American Nurses Credentialing Center) in which hospitals apply based on designated criteria that consider nurse job satisfaction, staff patterns, strength, quality of nursing staff, and open communication. It is not based on physician status. Although the expectation is that at least 80% of the nurses will have baccalaureate degrees, most hospitals that achieve Magnet status have 50% of RNs at that level. Also, certification is not required for all nurses at this point. The expectation with Magnet status is that nurses will continue to expand their knowledge by earning additional degrees and certification.

16. Which of the following indicates a nurses role as a researcher?
a. Reading peer-reviewed journal articles
b. Working as a member of the interdisciplinary team to provide client care
c. Helping client to obtain home care post-discharge from the hospital
d. Delegating tasks to unlicensed personnel to allow for more teaching time with clients
ANS: A
A nurse in a researcher role should look to improve her or his knowledge base by reading and reviewing evidence-based practice information as found in peer-reviewed journals. Working as a member of the interdisciplinary team to provide client care indicates that the nurse is working as a collaborator. Helping the client to obtain home care post-discharge from the hospital indicates that the nurse is working as a client advocate. Delegating tasks to unlicensed personnel to allow for more teaching time with clients indicates that the nurse is working as a manager.

17. A 16-year-old primipara has just completed her first prenatal visit with the health care provider. The nurse is preparing to teach her about nutrition during pregnancy. What must the nurse include in the patients teaching plan?
a. Provide her with pictures of dairy products.
b. Ask her, Are you ready to hear this information now?
c. Read directly from the pamphlet prepared for teen mothers.
d. Provide a comfortable and warm setting after she has put on her street clothes.
ANS: D
The nurse must structure teaching for teens in a way that suits them best. For teaching to be most effective, the physical environment must be comfortable and distractions to learning must be kept at a minimum. Pictures, videos, and computer-based materials are more effective teaching tools for younger clients. Patients must have an attitude of readiness and openness for the teaching to be effective. However, if the environment is not conducive to learning, efforts for effective teaching will be minimized.

18. The nurse states to the newly pregnant patient, Tell me how you feel about being pregnant. Which communication technique is the nurse using with this patient?
a. Clarifying
b. Paraphrasing
c. Reflection
d. Structuring
ANS: A
The nurse is attempting to follow up and check the accuracy of the patients message. Paraphrasing is restating words other than those used by the patient. Reflection is verbalizing comprehension of what the patient has said. Structuring takes place when the nurse has set guidelines or set priorities.

19. The pregnant woman tells the nurse, I think something may be wrong with my pregnancy. Which statement by the nurse demonstrates therapeutic communication?
a. Most women worry; I felt the same way when I was pregnant.
b. Tell me more about what concerns you about this pregnancy.
c. That is a very common concern, but your pregnancy will turn out just fine.
d. You should focus on taking care of yourself and not worry so much.
ANS: B
Questioning is a therapeutic communication technique in which additional information is elicited by using open-ended questions. The remaining options are examples of three behaviors that block communicationinappropriate self-disclosure, providing false reassurance, and giving advice.

20. The nurse is formulating a nursing care plan for a postpartum client. Which actions by the nurse indicate use of critical thinking skills when formulating the care plan? (Select all that apply).
a. Using a standardized postpartum care plan
b. Determining priorities for each diagnosis written
c. Writing interventions from a nursing diagnosis book
d. Reflecting and suspending judgment when writing the care plan
e. Clustering data during the assessment process according to normal versus abnormal
ANS: B, D, E
Critical thinking focuses on appraisal of the way the individual thinks, and it emphasizes reflective skepticism. Determining priorities, reflecting and suspending judgment, and clustering data are actions that indicate the use of critical thinking. Using a standardized care plan and writing interventions from a nursing diagnosis book do not show that reflection about the clients individual care is being done.
