Question 1 of 5
Two RNs are discussing the benefits of professional liability insurance. Which of the following is a reason for an RN to have a professional liability insurance policy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Liability policies can cover charges of libel, slander, assault, and HIPAA violations, in addition to malpractice claims. Choice A is incorrect as there are expenses involved in frivolous lawsuits. Choice B is incorrect because institutions can sue nurses found guilty of malpractice. Choice D is incorrect as nurses, not just doctors, can be sued for malpractice.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is likely to facilitate union activity?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because according to a study by Bilchik (2000), organizations are more likely to unionize if there is a belief that low wages cause job dissatisfaction. Choices A and B focus on effective communication and listening, which may actually prevent union activity by addressing employee concerns directly. Choice D, the belief that supervisors are not understanding of unionizing, may lead to dissatisfaction but doesn't directly facilitate union activity as the belief that low wages cause job dissatisfaction does.
Question 3 of 5
A healthcare professional is admitting a client who has rubella. Which of the following types of transmission-based precautions should the nurse initiate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Protective environment.' Rubella requires placing the client in a protective environment due to its airborne precautions. Airborne precautions are typically used for diseases that are spread through tiny droplets that remain in the air for an extended period, like tuberculosis. Contact precautions are used for diseases that are spread by direct or indirect contact, such as MRSA. Droplet precautions are implemented for diseases transmitted through respiratory droplets, like influenza. Therefore, in the case of rubella, airborne precautions in a protective environment are necessary.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse manager is preparing to review medication documentation with a group of newly licensed nurses. Which of the following statements should the nurse manager plan to include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct statement that the nurse manager should include in the teaching session is to use the abbreviation SC when indicating a subcutaneous injection. This is important for accurate and standardized medication documentation. Choice A is incorrect because using the complete name of medications is not always necessary and may lead to errors. Choice B is incorrect as spaces between dose and unit of measure are required for clarity and to avoid misinterpretation. Choice D is incorrect because the standard abbreviation for units should be used instead of the letter U to prevent confusion.
Question 5 of 5
A resident on night call refuses to answer pages from the staff nurse on the night shift and complains that she calls too often with minor problems. The nurse feels offended and reacts with frequent, middle-of-the-night phone calls to 'get back' at him. The behavior displayed by the resident and the nurse is an example of what kind of conflict?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Disruptive conflict.' In disruptive conflict, the parties involved are engaged in activities to reduce, defeat, or eliminate the opponent. In this scenario, the resident and the nurse are engaging in behaviors that disrupt their professional relationship by intentionally ignoring pages and making excessive retaliatory calls. Perceived conflict refers to a situation where one or more parties believe that a conflict exists, competitive conflict involves striving to achieve personal goals at the expense of others, and felt conflict refers to the emotional involvement in a conflict situation.
