Adult Health Nursing First Chapter Quizlet

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Stressing to all participants attending a health fair that a screening program is not a substitute for ongoing health supervision from a healthcare provider is crucial for several reasons. Health fairs are intended to provide a snapshot of an individual's health at a specific point in time and are not comprehensive assessments. Participants need to understand that these screenings are not a replacement for regular check-ups with their healthcare provider, who can provide continued monitoring, follow-up care, and more in-depth evaluations if necessary. It's important for participants to recognize that the results from a health fair screening are just one piece of their overall health picture and that ongoing care from a healthcare provider is essential for maintaining their well-being.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The lesson that can be gained from this scenario is that every protocol must be followed. In this situation, failure to replace the defective electric fan immediately and having a missing fire extinguisher directly led to the fire escalating and causing significant damage. By ensuring that all safety protocols and procedures are followed promptly and consistently, potential hazards and risks can be mitigated or prevented. It is crucial for employees to understand the importance of adhering to established protocols in order to maintain a safe working environment and prevent accidents or emergencies.

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: D

Rationale: In a situation where a nurse administers the wrong medication to a patient resulting in harm, both the nurse and the physician can be held liable for their respective roles in the error. The nurse is responsible for administering the incorrect medication, which is a violation of their duty to provide safe and appropriate care. However, the physician is also responsible because they failed to review the patient's documentation indicating the allergy to the medication before ordering it. As healthcare professionals, both the nurse and the physician have a duty of care to ensure patient safety, and in this case, both individuals failed in their responsibilities, leading to the harm caused to the patient. Therefore, both the nurse and the physician can be held accountable for the error.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Even though Ms. C's self-esteem and weight have improved, her continued negative self-talk and use of derogatory terms like "fatty" indicate a distorted perception of her body image. This distortion needs to be addressed and corrected for her overall long-term psychological well-being. By focusing on addressing the disturbed body image, the nursing team can help Ms. C develop a more positive self-perception and maintain the progress she has made towards recovery from anorexia nervosa. It is important to prioritize interventions that promote a healthier and more realistic body image in order to support her ongoing recovery journey.
