1. When integrating the principles of family-centered care into the birthing
process,
the nurse would base care upon which belief?
A. Birth is viewed as a medical event.
B. Families are unable to make informed choices due to stress.
C. Birth results in changes in relationships.
D. Families require little information to make appropriate decisions for care.
- CORRECT ANSWER-Answer: C
Rationale: Family-centered care is based on the following principles: Birth
affects
the entire family, and relationships will change; birth is viewed as a normal,
healthy
event in the life of the family; and families are capable of making decisions
about
their own care if given adequate information and professional support.
2. The nurse is working with a group of community health members to
develop a
plan to address the special health needs of women. The group would
design
educational programs to address which priority condition?
A. Smoking
,B. Heart disease
C. Diabetes
D. Cancer - CORRECT ANSWER-Answer: B
Rationale: The group needs to address cardiovascular disease, the number
one
cause of death in women regardless of racial or ethnic group. Smoking is
related to
heart disease and the development of cancer. However, heart disease and
cancer
can occur in any woman regardless of her smoking history. Cancer is the
second
leading cause of death, with women having a one in three lifetime risk of
developing cancer. Diabetes is another important health condition that can
affect
women. However, it is not the major health problem that heart disease is.
3. A nurse is conducting an orientation program for a group of newly hired
nurses.
As part of the program, the nurse is reviewing the issue of informed
consent. The
nurse determines that the teaching was effective when the group identifies
which
situation as a violation of informed consent?
A. Performing a procedure on a 15-year-old without parental consent
B. Serving as a witness to the signature process on an operative permit
C. Asking whether the client understands what she is signing following
receiving
education
,D. Getting verbal consent over the phone for an emergency procedure from
the
spouse of a unconscious woman - CORRECT ANSWER-Answer: A
Rationale: In most states, only clients over the age of 18 can legally provide
consent for health care. Serving as a witness to the signature process,
asking
whether the client understands what she is signing, and getting verbal
consent over
the phone for emergency procedures are all key to informed consent and
are not
violations.
4. A pregnant woman is to undergo an invasive procedure to evaluate the
status of
her fetus. To ensure informed consent, which action would be the priority
responsibility of the nurse providing care to this woman?
A. Asking relevant questions to determine the client's understanding
B. Providing a detailed description of the risks and benefits of the
procedure
C. Explaining the exact steps that will occur during the procedure
D. Offering suggestions for alternative options for treatment - CORRECT
ANSWER-Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse's responsibilities related to informed consent include:
Ensuring
the consent form is completed with signatures from the client; serving as a
witness
to the signature process; and determining whether the client understands
what she
, is signing by asking her pertinent questions. The physician, advanced
practice
nurse, or midwife is responsible for informing the client about the procedure
and
obtaining consent by providing a detailed description of the procedure or
treatment,
its potential risks and benefits, and alternative methods available.
19. The nurse is caring for a 12-year-old child hospitalized for internal
injuries
following a motor vehicle accident. For which medical treatment would the
nurse
ensure that an informed consent is completed beyond the one signed at
admission?
A. Diagnostic imaging
B. Cardiac monitoring
C. Blood testing
D. Spinal tap - CORRECT ANSWER-Answer: D
Rationale: Most care given in a health care setting is covered by the initial
consent
for treatment signed when the child becomes a client at that office or clinic
or by
the consent to treatment signed upon admission to the hospital or other
inpatient
facility. Certain procedures, however, require a specific process of informed
consent, including major and minor surgery; invasive procedures such as
lumbar
puncture or bone marrow aspiration; treatments placing the child at higher
risk,
