c.) health promotion.
Explanation:
Healthy People 2030 establishes health promotion guidelines for the nation as a
whole. The guidelines contain Leading Health Indicators, which are used to
measure the health of the nation over a 10-year period. Illness prevention, health
restoration, and coping with disability are components of the Healthy People 2030
guidelines, but are not considered as the primary goal of the initiative. - CORRECT
ANSWER The primary aim of the Healthy People 2030 initiative is:
a.) illness prevention.
b.) coping with disability.
c.) health promotion.
d.) health restoration.
d.) Emphasizing a client's strengths to encourage weight loss
Explanation:
Nurses promote health by identifying, analyzing, and maximizing each client's own
individual strengths as components of preventing illness, restoring health, and
facilitating coping with disability or death. Emphasizing the client's strengths to
encourage weight loss is the most effective way to promote this client's health.
Informing the client that the client must lose weight would not help the client use
his or her strengths to accomplish the goal. Low-sodium diets can prevent heart
,disease. Taking the pulse daily would not prevent heart disease. - CORRECT
ANSWER What is the best nursing intervention to promote health in a client at risk
for heart disease?
a.) Taking the client's pulse rate daily
b.) Instructing the client to adhere to a high-sodium diet
c.) Informing the client that the client must lose weight
d.) Emphasizing a client's strengths to encourage weight loss
d.) Difficulty for nurses to remain current in a rapidly changing medical and
technology environment
Explanation:
The National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice (NACNEP)
identifies critical challenges to nursing practice in the 21st century: a growing
population of hospitalized clients who are older and more acutely ill, increasing
health care costs, and the need to stay current with rapid advances in medical
knowledge and technology. Nursing is limitless and, with opportunities for
furthering education, there are many various ways nurses can practice. Health
costs are rising and there are more citizens needing health care. There is a
projected nursing shortage that may be severe and there are no shortages of jobs
for nurses. - CORRECT ANSWER The new nursing graduate is concerned about
some of the critical changes that will be occurring in nursing. What changes does
the nurse anticipate will impact nursing care?
a.) Rapid growth of nurses and shortage of job opportunities
b.) Decrease in health care costs
c.) Limitations that nurses have in the workforce
,d.) Difficulty for nurses to remain current in a rapidly changing medical and
technology environment
d.) The LPN/LVN should work under the supervision of an RN.
Explanation:
LPNs/LVNs are employed in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and rehabilitation
centers and by health care providers. LPNs/LVNs differ from RNs in two areas:
educational preparation and scope of practice. LPNs always practice under the
supervision of an RN. LPNs have a scope of practice and the workload is not
directed by the RN. RNs are not permitted to prescribe medications. Nurse
practitioners may prescribe medications. - CORRECT ANSWER Which explanation
accurately differentiates the role of the registered nurse (RN) from that of the
licensed practical/vocational nurse (LPN/LVN)?
a.) The RN is permitted to prescribe medications.
b.) The LPN/LVN can only work in a long-term care facility.
c.) The RN directs the workload of an LPN/LVN.
d.) The LPN/LVN should work under the supervision of an RN.
d.) Obtain continuing education credits.
Explanation:
In many states, continuing education is required for an RN to maintain licensure.
These are defined as professional development experiences designed to enrich
the nurse's contribution to health. Obtainment of an ongoing degree is not
necessary to maintain licensure. While hospital in-services may provide continuing
, education, not all in-services are designed to do so. - CORRECT ANSWER What
might a nurse need to do to ensure the continuation of his or her nursing license?
a.) Attend hospital in-services.
b.) Obtain a baccalaureate degree.
c.) Obtain a master's degree.
d.) Obtain continuing education credits.
b.) "I notice you might be experiencing some feelings of sadness. Would you like
to share how you are feeling with me?"
Explanation:
Because a client does not always communicate one's feelings to strangers, nurses
use empathy (intuitive awareness of what the client is experiencing) to perceive
the client's emotional state and need for support. This skill differs from sympathy
(feeling as emotionally distraught as the client). Empathy helps the nurse become
effective at providing for the client's needs while remaining compassionately
detached. By stating an observational awareness of the client's emotional state
based on the client's nonverbal cues, the nurse invites the client to engage in
therapeutic communication. The nurse does not assume the client wants any
help; therefore, the nurse asks if the client wants to engage in exploring one's
experience. By telling the client that is common to be depressed, the nurs -
CORRECT ANSWER A nurse is working with a client who has undergone a lower leg
amputation. While conducting an assessment, the nurse notes the client has a
downcast mood. Which statement by the nurse conveys empathy to the client?
a.) "If I had the type of life-altering experience you had, I would probably feel
depressed. You are doing well under the circumstances."
b.) "I notice you might be experiencing some feelings of sadness. Would you like
to share how you are feeling with me?"
