nx Answer: A nx




Rationale: By asking the client to describe the accident, the nurse is using assessment skills to collect
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx




more information about the client's condition. The nurse is interviewing the client to collect related
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx




data. The nurse is not using comforting skills, as the nurse is not providing any emotional support.
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx




The counseling skills of the nurse are also not used, as no health education is provided. Caring skills
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx




include assistance provided with the activities of daily living, which is not applicable in this
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx




scenario.

2. One of the nursing achievements in the Crimean War was that the death rate of soldiers

dropped from 60% to 1%. What is the most appropriate reason for the fall in the death rate?

D. college-basededucationandtrainingofnurses nx nx nx nx nx




nx Answer: B nx




Rationale: During the Crimean War, the death rate of British soldiers was 60%, which dropped to
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx




1% due to the nursing care provided. The nurses improved the ventilation, nutritional, and
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx




sanitary conditions of the soldiers, leading to decreased rates of infection and gangrene. As a result,
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx




the death rate dropped. The families and the soldiers donated funds after the war, not during the
nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx nx




war, through which an organized education and training facility for nurses was started.
