NURS 1100 Exam 3 Questions With
Correct Answers
Which factor would the nurse consider when communicating with
| | | | | | | | |
adolescents?
Be alert for clues to their emotional state.
| | | | | | |
Adolescents are searching for their identities and trying to become
| | | | | | | | | |
emotionally independent from parents while still maintaining family
| | | | | | | |
ties. Depression, substance abuse, and violence are all real concerns
| | | | | | | | | |
during this period; thus, the nurse must be aware of an adolescent's
| | | | | | | | | | | |
emotional state. Open-ended questions are used to get more detailed
| | | | | | | | | |
answers. The nurse would look for meaning behind adolescents' words
| | | | | | | | | |
or actions. It is also important to discuss issues such as sex and drugs;
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
sex and drugs are very important issues during this age
| | | | | | | | |
Which sense is affected by presbyopia?
| | | | |
Sight
Sensory changes in the eyes are characterized by the presence of
| | | | | | | | | | |
decreased accommodation to near or far vision, which is called
| | | | | | | | | |
,presbyopia. Sensory changes in the ears include thickening of the
| | | | | | | | | |
tympanic membrane and sclerosis of the ear. Sensory changes of smell
| | | | | | | | | | |
include a diminished sense of smell. Sensory changes in taste are often
| | | | | | | | | | | |
characterized by fewer taste buds. | | | |
Which clinical feature is related to depression in older adults?
| | | | | | | | |
Agitation
Psychomotor disorientation, or agitation, is commonly seen in patients
| | | | | | | | |
with depression. Apraxia is a clinical feature associated with dementia
| | | | | | | | | |
but not depression. Patients with delirium have increased alertness
| | | | | | | | |
(hypervigilance). However, the alertness in patients with depression is
| | | | | | | | |
usually normal. Impaired orientation is associated with delirium, and
| | | | | | | | |
patients with depression may have selective disorientation.
| | | | | |
Which statement by the patient is a contributing factor for depression in
| | | | | | | | | | |
the older adult? Select all that apply. One, some, or all responses may
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
be correct.
|
"I was hospitalized recently."
| | |
"I lost my partner last month."
| | | | |
"I have had arthritis symptoms for a year now."
| | | | | | | |
,Which action of the patient supports the nurse's suspicion that the
| | | | | | | | | | |
patient has developed depression?
| | |
Getting up early in the morning with frequent arousals at night
| | | | | | | | | |
A patient is in labor with her first baby, which is coming 2 weeks early.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Her husband is in the military and might not get back in time, and
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
neither family is able to be with her during labor. Which support person
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
employed by the birthing area is the health care provider most likely to
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
call in to be present during labor?
| | | | | |
Lay doula
|
A lay doula is a support person who is present during labor to assist
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
women who have no other source of support. This woman has no family
| | | | | | | | | | | |
available to support her during the laboring process and delivery.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Although the nurse and a midwife would be supportive during labor, the
| | | | | | | | | | |
scope of practice for nurses and midwives far exceeds that of a support
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
person present during labor. An assistant is incorrect.
| | | | | | |
Which condition does the nurse suspect in an older-adult patient who
| | | | | | | | | | |
has reported daily hearing decline?
| | | |
Prebycusis
, Presbycusis refers to the progressive loss of hearing that occurs with
| | | | | | | | | | |
age. Delirium is a cognitive impairment resulting in a confused state.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Dementia is an impairment of intellectual functioning that interferes
| | | | | | | | |
with social and occupational functioning. Presbyopia is a progressive
| | | | | | | | |
decline of vision. | |
Which physical change occurs during adolescence?
| | | | |
Alteration in distribution of muscle and fat
| | | | | |
There is a significant alteration in the distribution of fat and muscles
| | | | | | | | | | | |
within the body of adolescents. Because of the many physical changes,
| | | | | | | | | | |
the shoulder and hip width increase, normally increasing the width of
| | | | | | | | | | |
the body. Elongation of limbs mostly occurs in the years immediately
| | | | | | | | | | |
before the onset of puberty and usually slows by the time of
| | | | | | | | | | | |
adolescence. Growth rate is slow and consistent in school-age children,
| | | | | | | | | |
whereas the growth rate of the skeleton, muscles, and viscera increases
| | | | | | | | | | |
during adolescence. Improved large muscle coordination starts when
| | | | | | | |
children are of school age, when the strength of the child doubles.
| | | | | | | | | | |
The nurse is reviewing the diagnostic report of four patients. Which
| | | | | | | | | | |
