Adult Health Nursing First Chapter Quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In the given situation, the nursing diagnosis that is NOT RELEVANT to sexual health is option B, Health-seeking behaviors related to reproductive functioning. This diagnosis focuses on the patient's proactive approach to seeking healthcare services related to reproductive health matters. However, in the situation presented of a pregnant patient with sickle cell anemia experiencing fever, painful swelling, and in labor pain, the immediate priority lies in addressing the health issues related to sickle cell disease and the current pregnancy. Sexual health is not the primary concern in this scenario compared to managing the complications of sickle cell anemia during pregnancy. Therefore, the diagnosis related to health-seeking behaviors related to reproductive functioning is not as pertinent in this specific case.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Osteoarthritis in the hip joint can lead to weakness or dysfunction in the hip abductor muscles, causing a Trendelenburg gait. This gait abnormality is characterized by a dropping of the pelvis on the opposite side of the affected hip during weight-bearing on the affected leg. It is a common clinical manifestation of hip osteoarthritis due to the muscle weakness and altered mechanics in the hip joint. Baker's cyst is associated with knee osteoarthritis, Heberden's nodes are commonly seen in osteoarthritis of the fingers, and Swan-neck deformity is typically seen in rheumatoid arthritis, not osteoarthritis.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The primary goal of collaboration is to accomplish shared goals and objectives. When individuals work together towards a common purpose, they can combine their different skills, perspectives, and resources to achieve outcomes that could not be accomplished by working alone. Collaborating enables team members to leverage each other's strengths and expertise, leading to more innovative and effective solutions. While camaraderie and efficiency are important aspects of collaboration, the ultimate aim is to successfully achieve the desired goals.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The IR (Incident Report) typically focuses on the details surrounding an incident or event, such as what happened, who was/were involved, and who witnessed the incident. Information about daily medications given to the patient is not usually included in an incident report, unless it directly relates to the incident itself (e.g., medication error). The primary focus of an incident report is to document the incident in a clear and factual manner for record-keeping and analysis purposes.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The signs reported by the patient, such as feeling nauseated, restless, sweating excessively, fatigue, and increased hunger, are indicative of hypoglycemia, which is characterized by low blood sugar levels. In individuals with hypoglycemia, these symptoms can occur when the blood glucose levels drop too low, leading to disturbances in the body's energy supply. This is common in individuals who may have experienced episodes of low blood sugar, especially if they have a history of diabetes or are taking medications that lower blood sugar levels. Diabetic nephropathy, hyperglycemia, and diabetic retinopathy are conditions associated with high blood sugar levels and are not consistent with the symptoms described by the patient.
