Adult Health Nursing First Chapter Quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In a professional setting like a classroom or a meeting, it is important for the CI (chief instructor) to set the atmosphere by welcoming everyone and discussing the objectives of the ward class. By discussing the objectives, the CI can provide a clear direction for the session and ensure that everyone is on the same page in terms of what needs to be accomplished. This not only helps focus the participants but also creates a sense of purpose and organization, setting a positive tone for the rest of the interaction. Showing a picture of the breast or giving an anecdote about an old man may not be appropriate or relevant in this context. Going ahead with the first part of the lecture without any welcoming or setting the atmosphere may make the participants feel rushed or disconnected from the session's purpose.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Nonverbal communication consists of gestures, facial expressions, body language, posture, tone of voice, touch, and eye contact, among other behaviors. Option C, words representing an object, refers to verbal communication rather than nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication is the behavior that accompanies verbal communication, providing additional layers of meaning and adding context to the spoken words. Therefore, words representing an object are not indicators of nonverbal communication.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Creating a conducive time and place for the teachings is crucial during the implementation process to ensure better assimilation by the staff. By choosing a suitable time that does not clash with other responsibilities and providing a comfortable environment for learning, the nurse can enhance the staff's understanding and retention of the teachings. This approach helps in engaging the staff effectively and facilitating a productive learning experience.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In patients with Rheumatic fever, typical manifestations include an increase in body temperature, non-pruritic rashes, and migratory joint pains. Voluntary muscle spasm is not a typical manifestation of Rheumatic fever. The main clinical features of Rheumatic fever are related to the inflammation of the heart, joints, skin, and central nervous system. Muscle spasms are not a prominent feature of this condition. It is important for the nurse to be aware of these typical manifestations to effectively monitor and manage the patient's condition.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The clinical presentation of fever, malaise, maculopapular rash starting on the face and spreading to the trunk and extremities, along with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, is highly suggestive of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) caused by Rickettsia rickettsii. RMSF is a tick-borne illness transmitted by the American dog tick, Rocky Mountain wood tick, and brown dog tick. The constellation of symptoms described aligns well with the typical presentation of RMSF. Borrelia burgdorferi causes Lyme disease, which presents with erythema migrans but does not typically cause leukopenia or thrombocytopenia. Plasmodium falciparum is the causative agent of severe malaria and would present with symptoms such as cyclic fevers, anemia, and jaundice but not the described rash distribution.
