Question 1

A senior student nurse has been elected class president. What type of power will the student have in this position?&#10;A) explicit power&#10;B) assumed power&#10;C) absolute power&#10;D) implied power

Accepted Answer

Explicit power is granted through an official position or role, such as being elected class president, which gives the individual certain recognized authorities and responsibilities.

Question 2

How is change viewed in the &#34;new quantum&#34; age currently experienced in society?&#10;A) constant and predictable&#10;B) dynamic and constantly unfolding&#10;C) evolving very slowly&#10;D) an entity needing planning

Accepted Answer

The "new quantum" age is characterized by a dynamic and constantly unfolding understanding of change, as it relates to quantum mechanics and quantum computing. This is in contrast to a view of change as constant and predictable or evolving very slowly. Planning for change may still be necessary, but this understanding of change emphasizes its unpredictable and emergent nature.

Question 3

A nurse working in a physician's office uses the managerial function known as &#34;organizing.&#34; What is involved in this function?&#10;A) resources&#10;B) problems&#10;C) workforce&#10;D) evaluation

Accepted Answer

Organizing involves identifying and arranging the necessary resources, including personnel (workforce), for achieving a specific goal or objective. This may include allocating tasks and responsibilities, establishing a hierarchy of authority, and creating a system for communication and decision-making. Therefore, the two best choices for this managerial function are A) resources and C) workforce.

Question 4

A specific nursing unit practices functional nursing. What was the basis for this concept?&#10;A) individual patient care&#10;B) primary nursing&#10;C) case management&#10;D) industrial assembly line

Accepted Answer

The basis for functional nursing is the industrial assembly line model. Functional nursing divides tasks among workers and assigns each worker to perform a specific set of activities for all patients, rather than assigning a nurse to care for a specific patient. This approach is similar to how work is divided in an assembly line in a factory.

Question 5

Which of the following tasks could be delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel?&#10;A) an initial assessment of a patient&#10;B) determination of a nursing diagnosis&#10;C) evaluation of patient progress with the nursing care plan&#10;D) assisting patients with hygiene

Accepted Answer

Assisting patients with hygiene, such as bathing or toileting, is a task that can be safely and appropriately delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). However, tasks related to assessment, diagnosis, or evaluation require the expertise and knowledge of a licensed nurse.

Question 6

A nurse gives a speech on nutrition to a group of pregnant women. What is the speech itself known as?&#10;A) stimulus&#10;B) source&#10;C) message&#10;D) channel

Accepted Answer

The speech itself is known as the message, as it is the information being communicated to the group of pregnant women. The stimulus refers to the event or situation that prompts the communication, the source refers to the person or entity delivering the message, and the channel refers to the method or medium of communication (e.g. speech, email, video).

Question 7

Which of the following is a characteristic of the helping relationship?&#10;A) it occurs spontaneously&#10;B) it is similar to a social relationship&#10;C) it is an unequal sharing of communication&#10;D) it is based on the needs of the nurse

Accepted Answer

The helping relationship is characterized by an unequal sharing of communication, where the focus is on the needs and concerns of the person being helped rather than a mutual exchange as seen in social relationships. This dynamic is essential for providing effective support and guidance.

Question 8

A nurse tells a patient, &#34;Why won't you get out of bed? Are you always this lazy? This is an example of which of the following barriers to communication?&#10;A) using comments that give advice&#10;B) using judgmental language&#10;C) using leading questions&#10;D) using probing questions

Accepted Answer

The nurse is using judgmental language by accusing the patient of being lazy. This can create a barrier to communication because it can make the patient feel defensive or judged, which can prevent them from being open and honest with the nurse.
