Rationale: The 25-45 yr. old adult strives to fulfill life goals associated with
family, career, and society as well as being able to give to and care for
others. A Positive resolution of the conflict associated with this age group is
often displayed in teaching, counseling, and community volunteer work.
Which age group should the nurse identify is reflected in the following statement.
"More time is spent in bed but less time is spent asleep."
a. 2 yr olds
b. 40 yr olds
,c. 70 yr olds
d. 14 yr old
Give this one a try later!
c
Rationale: Older adults still need at minimum 6 hours of sleep daily but
often receive less due to difficulty falling asleep and more frequent
awakenings. They go to bed earlier to get more sleep and end up spending
more time in bed awake. Sleeping difficulties are attributed to a decrease in
melatonin, less deep sleep, a decrease in exercise, more naps, movement
disorders, sleep apnea, medical/psych problems.
The nurse identifies that the person at greatest risk for problems with regulating body
temperature is the:
a. toddler
b. Teenager
c. older adult
d. school-age child
Give this one a try later!
c
Rationale: Regulation of body temperature depends on the ability to dilate
or constrict blood vessels and control the activity of sweat glands. He
older adult: the production of sweat glands decreases, reducing a
person's ability to perspire and resulting in risk for head exhaustion; there
are decreased amounts of muscle
mass and subQ fat, which lead to increased susceptibility to cold; there is
inefficient vasoconstriction in response to cold and inefficient vasodilation
in response to heat; and there is a diminished ability to shiver, which
increased body temperature.
, During a group therapy session occasionally silence will occur. To deal with this
situation in a growth-promoting way, the leader should:

b. Call on specific members to talk when silence occurs.
c. Go around the group, requiring each member to talk in turn.
d. Comment on the silence or nonverbal behavior related to the silence.

d
Rationale: Commenting on the silence will encourage exploration of what is
happening in the group and the members thoughts and feelings about it.
