FOR NURSING PRACTICE II EXAM
PREP | VERIFIED Q&A – GALEN
COLLEGE OF NURSING
1. An occupational health nurse is preparing an educational
session on ergonomics and body mechanics for factory
employees. Which administrative detail is most essential for
the nurse to obtain prior to designing the presentation
materials?
A. The specific age breakdown of all attendees
B. The list of job titles and specific job descriptions
C. The total number of participating employees
D. The names of the shift supervisors attending
• Correct Answer: C
• Rationale: Knowing the exact number of participants
dictates space requirements, hands-on demonstration
logistics, and the volume of instructional materials needed.
While demographic or job details add context, participant
count is the immediate priority for resource planning.
,2. A pediatric nurse is preparing a 3-year-old child for an
upcoming outpatient diagnostic procedure. Which teaching
strategy best aligns with the child's developmental stage?
A. Providing a short, structured verbal discussion regarding the
steps
B. Showing simple, colorful picture books illustrating the
process
C. Engaging the child in an interactive role-playing simulation
D. Encouraging self-directed play with medical equipment
• Correct Answer: B
• Rationale: Toddlers are concrete operational thinkers with
limited language comprehension and brief attention spans.
Visual aids like simple pictures convey essential concepts
without overwhelming cognitive capacity.
3. The nurse is evaluating a client’s readiness to learn self-
administration of subcutaneous insulin. Which factor must
the nurse assess first before initiating the teaching plan?
A. The client's formal educational background and reading level
B. The client's emotional willingness and motivation to learn
C. The availability of family members to assist with
administration
D. The client's financial resources for purchasing supplies
, • Correct Answer: B
• Rationale: Motivation and psychological readiness are
foundational prerequisites for effective learning. Without
willingness, cognitive processing and skill acquisition are
severely impaired regardless of intelligence or support.
4. A nurse documents that a client demonstrated mastery of
a psychomotor skill. Which observation provides direct
evidence of psychomotor learning?
A. The client explains the mechanism of action of prescribed
antiplatelet therapy.
B. The client maintains direct eye contact while asking pertinent
health questions.
C. The client selects appropriate low-sodium meal options from
a facility menu.
D. The client safely ambulates using a four-point gait with a
standard walker.
• Correct Answer: D
• Rationale: Psychomotor learning involves physical
movement, coordination, and the execution of motor skills,
such as correctly maneuvering an assistive device.
Explaining mechanisms represents cognitive learning.
, 5. When designing a discharge teaching plan for an 82-year-
old client recovering from hip arthroplasty, which
instructional adaptation should the nurse implement?
A. Limit instruction to brief, focused sessions of 10–15 minutes.
B. Schedule primary teaching sessions in the late evening hours.
C. Present comprehensive clusters of complex medical
information at once.
D. Direct all teaching exclusively to family caregivers rather
than the client.
• Correct Answer: A
• Rationale: Older adults often process information most
effectively when sessions are short, focused, and paced to
reduce cognitive fatigue and sensory overload. Evening
instruction is non-ideal due to potential fatigue or delirium.
6. The nurse enters a room to conduct a teaching session on
diabetic foot care. Which client statement indicates the
presence of a learning barrier requiring postponement of the
session?
A. "I will schedule a follow-up visit with my podiatrist later this
week."
B. "Can you explain why I need to check my blood glucose
before meals?"
