,6/27/22, 12:36 PM Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing - Quiz performance

Rationale
Assessment is the foundation of any practicing nurse’s skill base. The nurse must be
able to rapidly and accurately interpret assessment findings according to acuity and
age. Clinical decision making, communication, and multitasking are also expected
from nurses but are not as vital as the ability to make quick assessments.

p. 194


Which complication of decreased mobility would the nurse associate
with the bones of older patients?
Muscle atrophy

Disuse osteoporosis
Urinary system calculi

Venous thromboembolism (VTE)




Rationale
Disuse osteoporosis is a complication of decreased mobility in older patients resulting
from increased bone resorption. Muscle atrophy, urinary system calculi, and VTE are
also complications of decreased mobility but do not affect the bones.

Test-Taking Tip: Sometimes the reading of a question in the middle or toward the end
of an examination may trigger your mind with the answer or provide an important clue
to an earlier question.

p. 44


Which term would the nurse utilize to document a patient’s inability to
evacuate feces from the colon?
Diarrhea

Continence

Obstipation

Constipation




Rationale
Obstipation refers to the inability to pass stool. Diarrhea refers to stool that is watery
and without solid form. Continence refers to the voluntary control of bowel and
urinary elimination. Constipation refers to stool that is hard, dry, and difficult to pass.

p. 37



Correct (27)

Regarding modifications to the SBAR method of communication, which
additional step represents the second "R" in I-SBAR-R?
Response
Review

Record

Repeat




Rationale
The last "R" in the modified I-SBAR-R method of communication refers to the
response of the receiver based on the information provided. The "I" at the beginning
reminds the individual to identify him- or herself and does not refer to investigation.
Background and assessment are steps already introduced in the earlier SBAR method
of communication. Review, record, and repeat are not represented by the second "R" of
the communication method. SBARQ is another potential modification. The "Q"
represents any additional questions needing an answer.
