Question 1
pts
A nurse wants to have a better understanding of the physiological effects of selected
chemicals. Which of the following individuals would provide the most useful information
to the nurse?
Epidemiologist
,Chemist
Toxicologist
Pharmacist
Toxicology is the basic science that studies the health effects associated with chemical
exposures. A chemist, epidemiologist, or pharmacist would probably be able to provide
some information, but the toxicologist would most likely provide information related to
physiological processes.
IncorrectQuestion 2
pts
A nurse reports that in comparison to all the children in a particular school, the children
who are members of the Cub Scouts have 0.3 risk for obesity before entering the sixth
grade. Which of the following recommendations would the nurse make to the new
parents of two boys who had just moved into this school’s neighborhood?
Don’t say anything about Cub Scouts, because it isn’t relevant to nursing care.
Encourage the parents to enroll their sons in Cub Scouts.
Share the finding and let the parents draw whatever conclusions they feel appropriate.
Discourage the parents from enrolling their sons in Cub Scouts because of the risk.
Relative risk is an estimation of the risk of acquiring a problem for those who are
exposed compared with those who are unexposed. As the risk for obesity is less for
those that are members of Cub Scouts, joining the group is protective and reduces the
incidence among members. Parents should be encouraged to enroll their sons in Cub
Scouts as joining the group is protective and reduces the risk for becoming obese. The
,finding should be interpreted for the parents and the protective aspect of joining the
group should be explained.
Question 3
pts
A nurse is asked to meet with a family who recently immigrated from Botswana (Africa).
After the physician tells the husband the wife’s diagnosis of breast cancer, the family
thanks the physician and starts to leave. Ethically, which of the following is the nurse’s
most important action?
Emphasizing that the family must set up a surgical appointment for the wife immediately
Educating the family concerning the usual treatment and the prognosis of breast cancer
Assessing the family’s current living situation, including insurance and other assets
Interviewing the family concerning their perspective of the threat to the family’s well-
being
The United States is a multicultural nation with diverse ethnic groups and diverse values.
Before any intervention can be made, the health care professionals must understand the
family’s cultural, psychological, social, communal, and environmental contexts, because
these contexts affect the way issues are formulated and decisions are made.
Consequently, it is crucial to interview the family to determine their understanding of
the situation before deciding what, if any, intervention must be made. In many cultures
the family, rather than the individual, is the unit of primary concern. Setting up a surgical
appointment immediately would not be an appropriate action for the nurse to take as
this would be a premature action for anyone who has just been told that she has cancer.
Assessing the family’s current living situation would not be the first concern of the nurse;
the first concern should focus on the family’s well-being. After assessing the family’s
well-being, the next action of the nurse may be to educate the family about the
treatment and prognosis of breast cancer.
Question 4
pts
, When evaluating an educational program, the nurse discovers that only 25% of
community members met the learning objectives. Which of the following parts of the
program should be improved?
Content
Educator
Objectives
Learners
Ultimately, the educator is responsible for the success or failure of the educational
process and the development of learner knowledge, skills, and abilities. If evaluation
reveals that the learning objectives are not being met, the nurse must determine why the
instruction is not effective. The educator is responsible for presenting the material
creatively and meaningfully in new ways to increase learner retention and ability to
apply the new knowledge. The educator determines how content can be tailored to the
learner. The educator determines the objectives.
Question 5
pts
A nurse is discussing how health care rationing occurs in the United States. Which of the
following would most likely be discussed as the criterion that is used to ration health
care?
Clinic operating hours
Ability to pay for services
Transportation availability
