1. 1. Question
%dg



Which nursing intervention is best for facilitating communication with
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


a psychiatric client who speaks a foreign language?
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg




o A. Rely on nonverbal communication
%dg %dg %dg %dg



o B. Select symbolic pictures as aids
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg



o C. Speak in universal phrases
%dg %dg %dg %dg



o D. Use the services of an
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg



interpreter Incorrect
%dg %dg


Correct Answer: D. Use the services of an interpreter
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


An interpreter will enable the nurse to better assess the client’s
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


problems and concerns. Language barriers pose challenges in terms
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


of achieving high levels of satisfaction among medical professionals
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


and patients, providing high- quality healthcare and maintaining
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


patient safety. To address these challenges, many larger healthcare
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


institutions offer interpreter services to improve healthcare access,
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


patient satisfaction, and communication.
%dg %dg %dg %dg


o Option A: Nonverbal communication is important; however for
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


the nurse to fully determine the client’s problems and
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


concerns, the assistance of an interpreter is essential.
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


Language barriers have negative implications for the delivery
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


of healthcare and patient satisfaction. One study showed that
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


among patients who received treatment from nurses who
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


did not speak the local language, 30% had difficulty
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


understanding medical instructions, 30% had a problem with
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


the reliability of information, and 50% believed that the
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


language barrier contributed to errors.
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


o Option B: Online translation tools such as Google Translate
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


and MediBabble present possible solutions for overcoming
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


these challenges. Further studies on the implications of
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


language barriers and the effectiveness of online translation
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


tools are recommended. Furthermore, new updates with
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg

, more medical phrases for Google Translate and with more
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


languages included for MediBabble application are
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


recommended.
%dg


o Option C: The use of universal phrases may assist the nurse
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


in understanding the basic needs of the client; however these
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


are insufficient
%dg %dg

, to assess the client with a psychiatric problem. Some
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


healthcare organizations use online translation tools such as
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


Google Translate and MediBabble to address the challenges of
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


language barriers. These tools are free and easy to access,
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


and they contribute to improving healthcare delivery, patient
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


safety, and increase (up to 92%) the satisfaction of both
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


medical professionals and patients.
2. 2. Question
%dg
%dg %dg %dg %dg




The nurse explains to a mental health
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg care technician that a
%dg %dg %dg


client’s obsessive- compulsive behaviors
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg are related to an unconscious
%dg %dg %dg %dg


conflict between id impulses and the
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg superego (or conscience). On %dg %dg %dg


which of the following theories does
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg the nurse base this
%dg %dg %dg


statement?
%dg




o A. Behavioral theory
%dg %dg



o B. Cognitive theory
%dg %dg



o C. Interpersonal theory
%dg %dg



o D. Psychoanalytic
%dg



theory Incorrect
%dg %dg


Correct Answer: D. Psychoanalytic theory
%dg %dg %dg %dg


Psychoanalytic is based on Freud’s beliefs regarding the importance
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


of unconscious motivation for behavior and the role of the id
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


and superego in opposition to each other. Psychoanalysis is
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


defined as a set of psychological theories and therapeutic methods
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


which have their origin in the work and theories of Sigmund
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


Freud . The primary assumption of psychoanalysis is the belief
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


that all people possess unconscious thoughts, feelings, desires, and
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


memories. The aim of psychoanalysis therapy is to release
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


repressed emotions and experiences, i.e., make the unconscious
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


conscious. It is only having a cathartic (i.e., healing) experience can
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


the person be helped and “cured.”
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


o Option A: Behaviorism, also known as behavioral psychology, is
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


a theory of learning based on the idea that all behaviors
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


interaction with the environment. Behaviorists believe that our
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


responses to environmental stimuli shape our actions.
%dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg %dg


According to this school of thought, behavior can be studied
