MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. During which phase of the cycle of violence does the batterer become contrite and
remorseful?
a. Battering
b. Honeymoon
c. Tension-building
d. Increased drug taking
ANS: B
During the honeymoon phase, the battered person wants to believe that the battering will
never happen again, and the batterer will promise anything to get back into the home. During
the battering phase, violence actually occurs, and the victim feels powerless. During the
tension-building phase, the batterer becomes increasingly hostile, swears, threatens, throws
things, and pushes the battered person. Often, the batterer increases the use of drugs during
the tension-building phase.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding OBJ: Nursing Process Step: Assessment
MSC: Patient Needs: Psychosocial Integrity
2. The United States ranks poorly in terms of worldwide infant mortality rates. Which factor has
the greatest impact on decreasing the mortality rate of infants?
a. Providing more women’s shelters
NURSINGKING.COM
b. Ensuring early and adequate prenatal care
c. Resolving all language and cultural differences
d. Enrolling pregnant women in the Medicaid program by their eighth month of
pregnancy
ANS: B
Because preterm infants form the largest category of those needing expensive intensive care,
early pregnancy intervention is essential for decreasing infant mortality. The women in
shelters have the same difficulties in obtaining health care as other poor people, particularly
lack of transportation and inconvenient clinic hours. Language and cultural differences are not
infant mortality issues but must be addressed to improve overall health care. Medicaid
provides health care for poor pregnant women, but the process may take weeks to take effect.
The eighth month is too late to apply and receive benefits for this pregnancy.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding OBJ: Nursing Process Step: Assessment
MSC: Patient Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance
3. The nurse is planning a teaching session for staff on ethical theories. Which situation best
reflects the Deontologic theory?
a. Approving a physician-assisted suicide
b. Supporting the transplantation of fetal tissue and organs
c. Using experimental medications for the treatment of AIDS
d. Initiating resuscitative measures on a 90-year-old patient with terminal cancer
