Question 1
Regular
The nurse is developing a plan of care for a client with chronic pain caused by osteoarthritis. The client?s pain has been severe and prolonged. Which of the following would the nurse identify as a priority assessment?
Correct!
Incorrect
The correct answer is: D
Rationale
Depression is a priority assessment for a client with chronic pain from osteoarthritis, as persistent pain often leads to emotional distress, impacting overall wellbeing and adherence to treatment plans. Identifying depressive symptoms allows for timely intervention and enhanced quality of life.
A: Grief Assessing for grief is less relevant in this scenario, as the client’s chronic pain primarily stems from a physical condition rather than emotional loss or bereavement.
B: Panic disorder Panic disorder does not directly relate to chronic pain management, as it involves anxiety and fear responses rather than the ongoing physical discomfort associated with osteoarthritis.
C: Bulimia Bulimia focuses on eating disorder behaviors rather than pain experiences; thus, it does not address the specific emotional and psychological challenges faced by individuals dealing with chronic pain.

Question 6
Regular
The nurse is caring for four clients who are simultaneously being treated for chronic medical conditions and psychiatric conditions. Which client would the nurse anticipate as being most resistive to taking medications for both conditions?
Correct!
Incorrect
The correct answer is: C
Rationale
C: Male client who is convinced he is the president’s twin brother. This client displays delusional thinking, which can lead to significant resistance toward treatment, as he may not recognize his need for medication.
A: Male client who is exhibiting push of speech. This behavior indicates heightened energy and may suggest enthusiasm for treatment rather than resistance, making compliance more likely.
B: Female client who is having difficulty sleeping. Sleep disturbances often correlate with psychiatric conditions, but they do not inherently indicate resistance to medication; she may still be willing to engage in treatment.
D: Female client who cannot establish and maintain eye contact. While this may suggest social anxiety or discomfort, it does not directly imply an unwillingness to take medications for her conditions.

Question 7
Regular
A female client is being treated for depression that has occurred secondary to a chronic cardiopulmonary condition. Which antidepressant would the nurse anticipate being prescribed for this client?
Correct!
Incorrect
The correct answer is: C
Rationale
Fluoxetine (Prozac) is the anticipated antidepressant for the client. This selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) is often prescribed for depression, particularly when considering its safety profile for individuals with cardiopulmonary conditions.
A: Trazodone (Desyrel) primarily acts as a sedative and is typically used for insomnia, making it less suitable for treating depression related to chronic medical conditions.
B: Bupropion (Wellbutrin) can increase heart rate and blood pressure, posing risks for clients with cardiopulmonary issues, hence less ideal for this situation.
D: Amitriptyline (Elavil) is a tricyclic antidepressant that has significant side effects and can be contraindicated for patients with cardiac problems, making it an unsuitable choice.

Question 8
Regular
A 22-year-old college student was involved in an automobile accident that resulted in permanent cognitive and physical disability. The night of the accident, the client and his friends had been celebrating a friend?s birthday at a local bar. The friend who was celebrating a birthday had been driving, and he was killed during the accident. The client feels guilty about his friend?s death. Which of the following would be a priority assessment for this client?
Correct!
Incorrect
The correct answer is: A
Rationale
A: Risk for suicide
Prioritizing the assessment of suicide risk is crucial for this client due to the intense guilt he feels over his friend's death. This emotional turmoil can significantly elevate the likelihood of suicidal thoughts or actions, making it essential to address his mental health and safety immediately.
B: Level of depression
While assessing depression is important, it is secondary to evaluating immediate suicide risk. The acute feelings of guilt and trauma from the accident take precedence, requiring urgent attention.
C: Social support systems
Although social support is valuable for recovery, focusing on suicide risk is more pressing at this moment. The client's emotional state necessitates prioritizing his safety before exploring support structures.
D: Financial status
Financial concerns are irrelevant to the immediate psychological crisis the client faces. Addressing suicidal thoughts and feelings of guilt must come before evaluating the client's financial wellbeing.

Question 9
Regular
A client has had a major stroke, and she is struggling to adjust to living with the consequent changes and permanent disabilities because of problems related to speech and mobility. The nurse is making a home visit and assesses the client closely based on the understanding that the client is at increased risk for which of the following?
Correct!
Incorrect
The correct answer is: B
Rationale
Major depressive disorder. Following a major stroke, clients often face significant emotional distress, leading to feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, which can culminate in major depressive disorder due to the life-altering nature of their condition.
A: Bipolar I disorder. This disorder involves extreme mood swings and is typically characterized by manic episodes, which are not directly related to the aftermath of a stroke and its consequences.
C: Generalized anxiety disorder. While anxiety can arise post-stroke, it typically manifests differently, focusing on excessive worry rather than the profound emotional impact and depressive symptoms that follow major life changes.
D: Posttraumatic stress disorder. PTSD is linked to traumatic events that invoke fear and helplessness; however, a stroke’s effects are often viewed as a medical challenge rather than a traumatic psychological experience.

Question 10
Regular
A nurse is trying to determine whether a client is exhibiting symptoms of depression or of her medical illness. Which of the following group of symptoms would indicate to the nurse that the client may be experiencing depression in addition to being medically ill?
Correct!
Incorrect
The correct answer is: C
Rationale
Feeling guilty, difficulty making decisions, and low self-esteem indicate that the client may be experiencing depression in addition to her medical illness due to their psychological nature and emotional weight.
A: Problems sleeping, decreased appetite, and frequent crying reflect distress but lack the cognitive aspects necessary for depression diagnosis. This grouping emphasizes physical symptoms rather than emotional impairment.
B: Low self-esteem, decreased appetite, and problems sleeping suggest distress but do not encompass the emotional turmoil and cognitive dysfunction often associated with depression, which requires more substantial indicators.
D: Loss of energy, difficulty making decisions, and problems sleeping indicate possible depression; however, the absence of feelings such as guilt limits the depth of emotional distress indicated here.

Question 11
Regular
A group of nursing students is reviewing information about barriers to pain management. The group demonstrates the need for additional study when they identify which of the following as a barrier?
Correct!
Incorrect
The correct answer is: B
Rationale
Adequate reimbursement. Financial incentives and support are crucial for effective pain management; without proper reimbursement, healthcare providers may hesitate to prescribe necessary treatments, thus hindering patient care and pain relief.
A: Fear of tolerance. While patients may worry about developing tolerance to pain medication, this concern does not inherently obstruct their access to pain management solutions or treatment options.
C: Concern for being a good client. Patients wanting to be perceived positively by healthcare providers may influence their willingness to communicate pain levels, but this does not constitute a systemic barrier to pain management.
D: Reluctance to report pain. Although patients may hesitate to express discomfort, their individual reluctance does not reflect broader issues within the healthcare system that might impede effective pain management practices.

Question 12
Multiple Choice
A nursing instructor is describing how pain can impact a client psychosocially. As part of the discussion, the instructor explains the pain response. Which of the following would the instructor include as excitatory amino acids involved? Select all that apply.
Correct!
Incorrect
The correct answer is: B,C,E
Rationale
B, C, E.
Substance P, L-glutamate, and N-methyl-D-aspartate are excitatory amino acids that play crucial roles in the pain response, facilitating the transmission of pain signals within the nervous system and influencing the perception of pain.
A: Somatostatin. This neuropeptide primarily inhibits growth hormone release and regulates various physiological functions, but it does not serve as an excitatory amino acid in pain pathways.
D: Serotonin. Although it contributes to mood regulation and has some analgesic properties, serotonin does not act as an excitatory amino acid in the context of pain response.
F: Endorphins. These endogenous opioids primarily function to relieve pain by inhibiting pain signals, rather than acting as excitatory amino acids that enhance the sensation of pain.
