, Chapter 1 - nursing foundations
1. A client reports to the emergency department with ankle pain due to a minor road
accident. By asking the client to describe the accident, which type of nursing skill is the
nurse using?
A. Assessment skills
B. Comforting skills
C. Counseling skills
D. Caring
skills ANS:a
Rationale: by asking the client to describe the accident, the nurse is using assessment
skills to collect more information about the client's condition. The nurse is interviewing
the client to collect related data. The nurse is not using comforting skills, as the nurse is
not providing any emotional support. The counseling skills of the nurse are also not
used, as no health education is provided. Caring skills include assistance provided with
the activities of daily living, which is not applicable in this scenario.
Question format: multiple choice
chapter 1: nursing foundations
cognitive level: understand
Client needs: safe, effective care environment: management of care
integrated process: nursing process
Reference: p. 15

soldiers dropped from 60% to 1%. What is the most appropriate reason for the fall
in the death rate?
A. Increased motivation among the soldiers
B. Decreased rate of infection and gangrene
C. Increased funds courtesy of donations from families
D. College-based education and training of
nurses ANS:b
Rationale: during the crimean war, the death rate of british soldiers was 60%, which
dropped to 1% due to the nursing care provided. The nurses improved the ventilation,
nutritional, and sanitary conditions of the soldiers, leading to decreased rates of infection
and gangrene. As a result, the death rate dropped. The families and the soldiers donated
funds after the war, not during the war, through which an organized education and
training facility for nurses was started.
