NUR3632 Foundations Exam 2 Study |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




questions with answers |\ |\




A nurse is planning care for a male adolescent patient who is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



admitted to the hospital for treatment of a drug overdose. Which
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



nursing actions are related to the outcome identification and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



planning step of the nursing process? Select all that apply.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




The nurse formulates nursing diagnoses.
|\ |\ |\ |\




The nurse identifies expected patient outcomes.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




The nurse selects evidence-based nursing interventions.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




The nurse explains the nursing care plan to the patient.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




The nurse assesses the patient's mental status.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




The nurse evaluates the patient's outcome achievement. -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔b, c, d. During the outcome identification
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



and planning step of the nursing process, the nurse works in
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



partnership with the patient and family to establish priorities,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



identify and write expected patient outcomes, select evidence-based
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



nursing interventions, and communicate the plan of nursing care.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



Although all these steps may overlap, formulating and validating
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



nursing diagnoses occurs most frequently during the diagnosing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



step of the nursing process. Assessing mental status is part of the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



assessment step, and evaluating patient outcomes occurs during the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



evaluation step of the nursing process.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\

,A nurse on a busy surgical unit relies on informal planning to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



provide appropriate nursing responses to patients in a timely
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



manner. What are examples of this type of planning? Select all that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



apply.
A nurse sits down with a patient and prioritizes existing diagnoses.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




A nurse assesses a woman for postpartum depression during routine
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



care.
|\




A nurse plans interventions for a patient who is diagnosed with
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



epilepsy.
A busy nurse takes time to speak to a patient who received bad
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



news.
A nurse reassesses a patient whose PRN pain medication is not
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



working.
A nurse coordinates the home care of a patient being discharged. -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔b, d, e. Informal planning is a link
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



between identifying a patient's strength or problem and providing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



an appropriate nursing response. This occurs, for example, when a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



busy nurse first recognizes postpartum depression in a patient, takes
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



time to assess a patient who received bad news about tests, or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



reassesses a patient for pain. Formal planning involves prioritizing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



diagnoses, formally planning interventions, and coordinating the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



home care of a patient being discharged.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

,3. When helping a patient turn in bed, the nurse notices that his
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



heels are reddened and plans to place him on precautions for skin
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



breakdown. This is an example of what type of planning? |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Initial planning |\




Standardized planning |\




Ongoing planning |\




Discharge planning - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔c. Ongoing |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



planning is problem oriented and has as its purpose keeping the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



plan up to date as new actual or potential problems are identified.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



Initial planning addresses each problem listed in the prioritized
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



nursing diagnoses and identifies appropriate patient goals and the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



related nursing care. Standardized care plans are prepared plans of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



care that identify the nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and related
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



nursing interventions common to a specific population or health
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



problem. During discharge planning, the nurse uses teaching and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



counseling skills effectively to help the patient and family develop
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



sufficient knowledge of the health problem and the therapeutic
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



regimen to carry out necessary self-care behaviors competently at
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



home.


. A nurse is prioritizing the following patient diagnoses according to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



Maslow's hierarchy of human needs:
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




(1) Disturbed Body Image
|\ |\ |\




(2) Ineffective Airway Clearance
|\ |\ |\




(3) Spiritual Distress
|\ |\

, (4) Impaired Social Interaction
|\ |\ |\




Which answer choice below lists the problems in order of highest
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



priority to lowest priority based on Maslow's model?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




2, 4, 1, 3|\ |\ |\




3, 1, 4, 2|\ |\ |\




2, 4, 3, 1|\ |\ |\




3, 2, 4, 1 - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a. 2, 4, 1, 3. Because basic
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



needs must be met before a person can focus on higher ones,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



patient needs may be prioritized according to Maslow's hierarchy:
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



(1) physiologic needs, (2) safety needs, (3) love and belonging needs,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



(4) self-esteem needs, and (5) self-actualization needs. #2 is an
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



example of a physiologic need, #4 is an example of a love and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



belonging need, #1 is an example of a self-esteem need, and #3 is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



an example of a self-actualization need.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




. A nurse is using critical pathway methodology for choosing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



interventions for a patient who is receiving chemotherapy for breast |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



cancer. Which nursing actions are characteristics of this system
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



being used when planning care? Select all that apply.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




The nurse uses a minimal practice standard and is able to alter care
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



to meet the patient's individual needs.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
