1. A client reports to the emergency department with ankle pain due to a minor road
accident. By asking the client to describe the accident, which type of nursing skill
is the nurse using?
A. assessment skills
B. comforting skills
C. counseling skills
D. caringskills
k
Answer: A
Rationale: By asking the client to describe the accident, the nurse is using assessment
skills to collect more information about the client's condition. The nurse is
interviewing the client to collect related data. The nurse is not using comforting
skills, as the nurse is not providing any emotional support. The counseling skills of
the nurse are also not used, as no health education is provided. Caring skills include
assistance provided with the activities of daily living, which is not applicable in this
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?
A. increased motivation among the soldiers
B. decreased rate of infection and gangrene
C. increased funds courtesy of donations from families
D. college-based education and training
of nurses Answer: B
Rationale: During the Crimean War, the death rate of British soldiers was 60%,
which dropped to 1% due to the nursing care provided. The nurses improved the
ventilation, nutritional, and sanitary conditions of the soldiers, leading to decreased
rates of infection and gangrene. As a result, the death rate dropped. The families and
the soldiers donated funds after the war, not during the war, through which an
organized education and training facility for nurses was started.
