QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED ANSWERS
GRADED A+
⫸ Chart Audits: Incident Report Triggers - 📋 "FLAG IT OR FAIL IT"
Answer: • Report falls, med errors, elopement, assault, breach of
confidentiality.
• Doc facts only—no mention of incident report in chart.
• Uphold rights: informed consent, dignity, least-restrictive care.
Story (📋):
In morning rounds, a nurse scans a clipboard stamped "FLAG IT OR
FAIL IT." She flags a vague note: "client found on floor." No time
wasted—she rewrites the entry with cold precision: time, location,
response. She never writes "IR filed." That's the rule. She pictures each
right like a checkbox: consent, respect, protection. One slip, and the
chart fails. She doesn't fix problems in hindsight—she catches them in
ink.
⫸ Histrionic Personality Disorder: Teaching - 🎭 "SPOTLIGHT
NEEDS" Answer: • Behavior = emotional, attention-seeking, flirtatious,
seductive.
• May not see behavior as dysfunctional → care = indirect + structured.
, • Often comorbid w/ depression, anxiety, SUD; assess risk factors.
Story (🎭):
A client floats into group therapy, loud scarf trailing like stage curtains.
She laughs too long, flirts too wide. The nurse doesn't react but redirects:
"Let's talk about today's goal." Later, she notes trauma in the client's
history and screens for depression. The nurse knows this isn't drama—
it's a disorder drawn to the spotlight. And every plan must dim the lights
just right.
⫸ Psychosocial Assessment Components - "WHOLE-PERSON SCAN"
Answer: • Ask about sleep, falls, energy, mood, meds, coping, substance
use.
• Include family, cultural/spiritual beliefs, support systems.
• Use open-ended Qs, summarize & clarify findings w/ client.
Story ():
A nurse begins a quiet intake: not just "How are you?" but "How do you
see your health?" She notices the client's father answers first—she
invites both. She spots a rosary in his hand and asks gently, "Do you find
strength in faith?" Every answer is a puzzle piece. She doesn't just assess
symptoms—she pieces together the person behind them.
⫸ Olanzapine Pamoate: Psychotic Disorders - 💉 "STAY ON TRACK"
Answer: • For schizophrenia spectrum; assess + and - symptoms, mood,
cognition.
• Positive sx: hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech/behavior.
