NUR 126 Exam 1 questions with answers |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Be able to identify statements the patient would make
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



that the nurse would assess as indicating a readiness to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



learn. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The patient would ask
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



questions related to their health condition such as: |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




"What is ....?" |\ |\




"How can I prevent further illness for ..... Condition?"
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




"What steps can I take to prevent .... From occurring?"
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Explain how a nurse would determine discharge teaching
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



needs of a patient. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The nurse
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



would assess the patient and see how the patient is doing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



in terms of reaching desired outcome or goal. The nurse
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



would then determine what the patient can do such as
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



self care after discharge within the home setting. The
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



nurse would also determine what the patient needs to be
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



educated on in order to perform self care and or maintain |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



level of wellness to prevent the recurrence of disease.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Identify the continuum of care from health enhancement
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



and wellness and nurses role - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔A
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



critical component of patient self-management for health
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



enhancement and wellness is that patients must schedule |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



and attend wellness visits and screening appointments
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



determined necessary. They also must engage in the |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

,lifestyle behaviors that promote good health, including
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



maintaining a normal body mass index (BMI), eating a |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



healthy diet, getting regular physical activity, getting
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



sufficient sleep, managing stress, and reducing |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



unintentional injuries through safety measures such as |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



wearing a seat belt or helmet and using age-appropriate
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



car seats for children. Nurses may impart some of this
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



information to patients during one-to-one clinical visits; |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



however, community-based and public health initiatives |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



also serve as a source of information on how individuals
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



can self-manage their daily decisions to maximize health.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Identify the continuum of care to acute event
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



management and the nurse's role - CORRECT ANSWERS |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



✔✔such as a stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), asthma
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



exacerbation, or hip fracture, is frequently a life-changing |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



occurrence, especially for individuals who were unaware
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



of or did not understand their risk for the event. Self-
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



management after an event is critical to the patient |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



making a full recovery, including achieving the most
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



optimal health possible given his or her disease state and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



preventing recurrence of the event, comorbidity, or even |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



mortality. As with a new diagnosis, recovery from an |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



acute event requires the patient to self-manage new
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



medications; changes in lifestyle behaviors; and greater |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



health care utilization due to increased monitoring,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



specialty care, and ancillary health services (e.g.,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



dietician and exercise physiologist). If the patient was
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



already managing a chronic disease, these changes may
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

, not be as significant as they might be for a patient who
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



was unaware of his or her risk for the event. Thus, nursing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



interventions will involve tailoring self-management
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



education to the patients' pre-event state. For example, a|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



patient with diagnosed coronary artery disease (CAD)
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



who was already taking lipid-lowering drugs and daily
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



low-dose aspirin and has an MI will need different self-
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



management education than a patient who did not have |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



diagnosed CAD prior to the MI. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Review the clinical exemplars and nursing interventions
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



that promote self-efficacy. - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



✔✔Patient engagement is linked to self-efficacy and refers |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



to knowledge, skills, ability, and willingness to be an
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



active participant in one's health and health care
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




clinical exemplars for self-efficacy - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



✔✔prenatal care, pediatric asthma, type 2 diabetes, |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



HIV/Aids, Congestive heart failure (CHF), depression
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Review which PTs are most likely to be affected by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



depression - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔1 in 10 U.S. adults. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



Individuals most affected by depression are midlife adults |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



ages 45-64 years, women, minorities, individuals without
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
