Question

A client who is Native American and visiting a health care clinic for the first time keeps his eyes on the floor and seldom makes eye contact with the nurse. The nurse would be correct in thinking that the client:

Answer 1

Correct Answers:

finds direct or sustained eye contact rude or disrespectful

Rationale :

👁️In some Native American cultures, prolonged or direct eye contact can be interpreted as disrespectful or confrontational.

🪶Looking downward may therefore represent cultural respect rather than avoidance, depression, or dishonesty.

🌎The nurse should interpret nonverbal communication within the client's cultural context rather than according to personal expectations.

🤝Practicing cultural competence helps prevent incorrect conclusions about a client's behavior.

📌Core Message

Eye contact norms vary culturally, and limited eye contact in some Native American cultures can communicate respect.

Answer 2

Correct Answers:

Vulnerable populations are exposed to higher levels of crime and violence
Vulnerable populations often have poor health outcomes

Rationale :

🏚️Vulnerable populations often experience socioeconomic, environmental, and healthcare barriers that increase exposure to crime and violence.

🩺Limited healthcare access, poverty, discrimination, and unstable living conditions contribute to poorer health outcomes.

📉These groups frequently experience higher rates of chronic illness, preventable disease, and premature mortality.

⚖️Recognizing these disparities allows nurses to promote health equity and targeted preventive care.

📌Core Message

Vulnerable populations often experience greater exposure to violence and poorer health outcomes because of significant social and healthcare inequities.

Answer 3

Correct Answers:

look at the world through the eyes of the culturally diverse client.

Rationale :

🌍Cultural competence requires nurses to understand health beliefs and practices from the client's cultural perspective.

🧠This approach reduces the risk of imposing the nurse's own values, assumptions, and biases on the client.

🤲Understanding the client's worldview supports individualized and respectful care.

🗣️Effective culturally competent nursing combines cultural awareness, knowledge, sensitivity, and communication.

📌Core Message

Cultural competence means understanding and respecting care from the client's cultural worldview.

Answer 4

Correct Answers:

Suggest they spend as much time as possible with the patient.
Encourage open communication among family members.
Provide information about what to expect as the patient's condition progresses.

Rationale :

❤️Spending meaningful time with the dying person can support connection, closure, and anticipatory grieving.

💬Encouraging open communication allows family members to express fears, sadness, concerns, and unresolved feelings.

📚Providing information about expected changes reduces uncertainty and anxiety as the patient's condition progresses.

🌿Hospice care emphasizes emotional preparation, family support, comfort, and realistic education throughout the dying process.

📌Core Message

Anticipatory grief is supported through family presence, honest communication, and education about the dying process.

Answer 5

Correct Answers:

Provision of a sense of belonging

Rationale :

👥Group therapy provides individuals recovering from substance use disorder with a strong sense of belonging and peer support.

🤗Members recognize that they are not alone, which reduces isolation and shame associated with addiction.

🗨️Sharing experiences with others promotes mutual understanding, encouragement, and accountability.

🌤️This supportive environment can strengthen continued participation in recovery and sobriety efforts.

📌Core Message

Group therapy promotes recovery by providing belonging, shared experience, and peer support.

Answer 6

Correct Answers:

Use air conditioning to reduce indoor humidity.
Avoid exposure to tobacco smoke
Limit outdoor activities on high pollen days.

Rationale :

❄️Air conditioning helps reduce indoor humidity, which can limit mold growth and dust-mite exposure.

🚭Avoiding tobacco smoke is essential because smoke is a major airway irritant that can precipitate bronchospasm.

🌼Limiting outdoor activity when pollen counts are high reduces exposure to common environmental allergens.

🫁Reducing known triggers is a central strategy for preventing asthma exacerbations and improving symptom control.

📌Core Message

Asthma management includes reducing smoke, pollen, allergens, and excessive indoor humidity.

Answer 7

Correct Answers:

Cognitive-behavioral therapy
Family therapy
Motivational interviewing

Rationale :

🧩Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps clients identify thoughts and behaviors associated with substance use and develop healthier coping strategies.

🏡Family therapy addresses relationship patterns and creates a supportive environment that can facilitate recovery.

🎙️Motivational interviewing helps clients explore ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for behavioral change.

🌱These interventions support behavior modification, coping, relapse prevention, and sustained recovery.

📌Core Message

Effective psychosocial treatment for substance use disorder includes CBT, family therapy, and motivational interviewing.

Answer 8

Correct Answers:

250

Rationale :

⏱️The infusion time must first be converted from 30 minutes to 0.5 hour.

💧The entire 125 mL antibiotic solution must infuse during that 0.5-hour period.

🧮Using volume ÷ time, the rate is 125 ÷ 0.5 = 250 mL/hr.

✅Therefore, the infusion pump should be programmed to 250 mL/hr.

📌Core Message

A 125-mL infusion over 30 minutes requires a pump setting of 250 mL/hr.

Answer 9

Correct Answers:

is not curative and is part of hospice care.

Rationale :

☢️Palliative radiation is used to reduce symptoms such as pain caused by bone metastases, not to cure advanced cancer.

🦴Radiation can shrink painful metastatic lesions and improve the client's comfort and quality of life.

🏥Hospice care allows treatments whose purpose is symptom relief and palliation, even when those treatments do not cure disease.

💙The nurse should explain that the goal of treatment is comfort rather than disease eradication.

📌Core Message

Palliative radiation is compatible with hospice when its purpose is pain relief and improved quality of life, not cure.

Answer 10

Correct Answers:

Encouraging employees to take frequent breaks and stretch.

Rationale :

🧘An effective ergonomic program reduces musculoskeletal strain through healthy positioning, movement, and appropriate equipment.

🤸Frequent breaks and stretching decrease muscle fatigue and repetitive-stress injuries.

🪑Ergonomics aims to adapt the workplace to the worker and reduce physical stress and injury risk.

🦺Proper ergonomic practices contribute to occupational safety and long-term musculoskeletal health.

📌Core Message

Workplace ergonomics emphasizes safe movement, stretching, proper body mechanics, and mechanical assistance.
