Question:
Which intervention is most effective at reducing patient violence against
nurses?
Answer:
Teaching nurses to communicate respect for patients and confidence in
themselves.
RATIONALE
Violence prevention includes both respect for patients and self-confidence in
nurses. Nurses who are passive and tentative are more likely to be victims of
violence. Patients who feel they are not respected are more likely to use
violence as a way of getting their needs met. Requiring nurses to work in
groups rather than alone would not be possible. Having security personnel
stationed on all units would not entirely eliminate violence; many patients
would not be aware of the presence of security officers on the unit, whereas
others impaired by medication or illness would not factor in the presence of
security personnel. Assigning only male nurses to care for psychiatric or
chemically dependent patients is neither practical nor desirable.
,Question:
A newly graduated LVN is orienting to the unit states to a peer, "You should
have seen that new associate degree RN trying to take care of three patients!
She was so disorganized that it made me glad I'm an LVN." Which behavior is
the LVN demonstrating?
Answer:
Projection
RATIONALE
Projection is a coping mechanism that allows the individual to unconsciously
attribute his or her own weaknesses to others. Manipulation is an indirect way
of dealing with issues that may be positive or negative. Assertiveness is
another name for "honesty"; that is, it is a way to live the truth from your
innermost being and to express this truth in thought, word, and deed.
Passiveness (or being nonassertive) is a fear-based, emotionally dishonest,
self-defeating type of behavior. Nonassertive nurses attempt to look the other
way, avoid conflict, and take what seems to be the easiest way out; they are
never full participants on the health care team.
Question:
Ethics is:
Answer:
a system of standards or moral principles that define actions as being right or
wrong.
, Question:
The nurse states, "I like being part of the health care team caring for the
traditional two-parent family during the postpartum period as they bond
with their newborn." This statement reveals the nurse's
Answer:
values.
RATIONALE
Values involve the worth assigned to an idea or action. In this statement the
nurse reveals that she values the traditional two-parent family. The statement
does not clearly address any of the other options. Duty refers to the nurse's
responsibility to provide care in an acceptable way. Fidelity challenges the
nurse to be faithful to the charge of acting in the patient's best interest when
the capacity to make free choice is no longer available to the patient. Ethics is
a system of standards or moral principles that direct actions as being right or
wrong.
Question:
The study of nursing was originally:
Answer:
disease-oriented.
