1. A client reports to the emergency department with ankle pain due to a minor road accident. By
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
asking the client to describe the accident, which type of nursing skill is the nurse using?
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
A. assessment skills k
B. comforting skills k
C. counseling skills k
D. caringskills k
Answer: A
k k
Rationale: By asking the client to describe the accident, the nurse is using assessment skills to
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
collect more information about the client's condition. The nurse is interviewing the client to
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
collect related data. The nurse is not using comforting skills, as the nurse is not providing any
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
emotional support. The counseling skills of the nurse are also not used, as no health education is
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
provided. Caring skills include assistance provided with the activities of daily living, which is
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
not applicable in this scenario.

2. One of the nursing achievements in the Crimean War was that the death rate of soldiers
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
dropped from 60% to 1%. What is the most appropriate reason for the fall in the death rate?
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
A. increased motivation among the soldiers k k k k
B. decreased rate of infection and gangrene k k k k k
C. increased funds courtesy of donations from families k k k k k k
D. college-based education and training of k k k k
k nurses Answer: B k k
Rationale: During the Crimean War, the death rate of British soldiers was 60%, which dropped
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
to 1% due to the nursing care provided. The nurses improved the ventilation, nutritional, and
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
sanitary conditions of the soldiers, leading to decreased rates of infection and gangrene. As a
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
result, the death rate dropped. The families and the soldiers donated funds after the war, not
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
during the war, through which an organized education and training facility for nurses was
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
started.

D. assisting a lactating mother in feeding her child k k k k k k k
Answer: A k
Rationale: The activity of educating a group of young girls about AIDS is based on the nurse using
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
counseling skills. Telling a client to localize his pain is an assessment skill.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
Encouraging a client to walk without support can be both a comforting skill and a caring skill.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
Assisting a lactating mother in feeding her baby is an example of a caring skill.

4. A nurse is conducting an interview of a 40-year-old client who is admitted with chest pain.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
Which action by the nurse indicates active listening?
k k k k k k k k
A. listening to the client silently k k k k
B. interrupting after each sentence k k k
C. asking for clarifications and repetitions k k k k
D. talking about the nurse's own k k k k
k experience Answer: C k k
Rationale: Active listening is an important component of counseling skills. It encourages the
k k k k k k k k k k k k
client to open up and express their concerns. The nurse may ask the client to repeat and clarify
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
statements. Interrupting after every sentence may annoy the client. When the nurse listens to
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
the client silently, the client may feel that the nurse is not interested. On the other hand, if the
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
nurse talks about the nurse's own experience, the focus of the session shifts to the nurse rather
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
than to the client.
