EAQ NU272-02 Assignment 1
1. Which is a complication that may develop in the child with hypospadias with
chordee?
A. Renal failure
B. Testicular cancer
C. Testicular torsion
D. Sexual difficulties: Sexual difficulties
Chordee can affect the child's future reproductive capabilities, which are related to
the inability to inseminate directly. Kidney function is not affected by hypospadias
with chordee. The incidence of testicular cancer is not increased; nor is the risk for
testicular torsion.
2. A client tells the nursing assistant "I am so worried about the results of
the biopsy they took today." The nurse overhears the nursing assistant reply,
"Don't worry. I'm sure everything will come out all right." Which conclusion
would the nurse make about the nursing assistant's answer?
A. It shows empathy.
B. It uses distraction.
C. It gives false reassurance.
D. It makes a value judgement: It gives false reassurance
,A person cannot know the results of the biopsy until it is examined under a micro-
scope. The response does not allow the client to voice concerns, shuts off commu-
nication, and provides reassurance that may not be accurate. This answer does not
empathize with the client; it minimizes the client's concerns. This response is not a
form of distraction; it minimizes the client's concern and shuts off communication.
This response does not contain any value statements.
3. Which consistent approach would the nurse use for a client with an antiso-
cial personality disorder?
A. Warm and firm without being punitive
B. Indifferent and detached but nonjudgmental
C. Conditionally acquiescent to client demands
D. Clearly communicative of personal disapproval: Warm and firm without
being punitive
,The nurse would be warm and firm without being punitive. The client needs positive
relationships with other adults, but clear, consistent limits must be presented to min-
imize attempts at manipulation. Acting indifferent and detached but nonjudgmental
is not a therapeutic approach. Being indifferent and detached gives the impression
that the nurse does not care. Being conditionally acquiescent to client demands is
not a therapeutic approach because clear, consistent limits are necessary to prevent
manipulation. Being clearly communicative of personal disapproval is a judgmental
attitude that should be avoided.

Leadership is the ability to elicit a vision from people and to inspire and empower
those people to do what it takes to bring the vision into reality. A leadership quality
is to bring out the best in people. Leaders are not born with the right stuff; rather
they develop these qualities gradually over time when they perform with the right
kind of attitude and determination. Leaders must possess the ability to inspire the
