Question 1

Nurses agree to be advocates for their patients. The practice of advocacy calls for the nurse to?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Advocacy involves understanding and communicating the client's perspective to ensure their rights and needs are respected.

Question 2

A client informs you that he does not want to be interrupted for breakfast because it interferes with his meditation time. What is the best course of action for the nurse to take?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Respect the client's rights and preferences by collaborating to integrate meditation into the care schedule, rather than escalating or involving others unnecessarily.

Question 3

Which statement demonstrates the best understanding of the nurse's role in ensuring that each client's rights are respected?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Nurses have an ethical and legal duty to respect and protect patients’ rights in all circumstances, regardless of their condition or setting. This responsibility is universal and guided by the ANA Code of Ethics.

Question 4

What document should guide the care of this client?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Advance directives state the client's wishes for medical care and should guide treatment decisions; the Client Self-Determination Act is the law supporting this right, and physicians' orders should reflect the advance directives.

Question 5

What is meant by an advocate?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: An advocate acts in the patient’s best interest—speaking or acting on their behalf to protect rights, access to care, and safety, regardless of the nurse’s own beliefs.

Question 6

The most important person in a hospital is?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Nursing care is client-centered; the patient is the priority and the central focus of all healthcare services.

Question 7

What role does a nurse play if she stands to protect the needs and wishes of the patient?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Protecting the patient’s needs and wishes reflects the advocacy role; thus the nurse acts as a client advocate.

Question 8

What is the primary purpose of an institutional review board (IRB) in a university or clinical agency?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: An IRB’s central role is to ensure the rights and welfare of human research participants by reviewing protocols for risks, benefits, and informed consent; it does not fund studies, critique published work, or set institutional ethics policies.

Question 9

What is the primary purpose of advance directives in nursing care?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Advance directives document a patient's treatment preferences and decisions to guide care when the patient cannot communicate, protecting autonomy.

Question 10

What is the appropriate nursing action when a client reports a problem with their payslip?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The nurse should advocate for the client by directing the concern to the appropriate department to resolve the issue. Ignoring, shifting responsibility to the client, or documenting without action fails to address the client’s rights and concern.

Question 11

If a client is sitting in a chair in his room masturbating, what should the nurse aide do?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Sexual expression is a normal need; the appropriate action is to protect the client’s dignity and privacy. Do not ridicule, tell the client to stop, or discuss with other staff.

Question 12

All the following are Patient’s responsibilities, except?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Patients are responsible for providing accurate information, following instructions, and adhering to hospital rules; they are not responsible for delivering or giving care.

Question 13

A nurse consistently ignores the call lights of gay and lesbian clients. The nurse's behavior is an example of?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Differential treatment of clients based on group membership is discrimination (an action). Prejudice is an attitude; stereotyping is a generalized belief; cultural insensitivity may be disrespectful but not necessarily the unequal treatment seen here.

Question 14

Under the Prime Minister's Jan Arogya Yojana Scheme, how many members from each family are eligible to be beneficiaries?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: AB-PMJAY has no cap on family size or age; all family members are eligible beneficiaries.

Question 15

The nursing instructor provides a lecture to nursing students regarding the issue of client rights. The instructor asks a nursing student to identify a situation that represents an example of invasion of client privacy. Which of the following, if identify by the student, indicates an understanding of a violation of this client right?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Watching care without the client's permission is an invasion of privacy. The other options represent different torts: battery (performing a procedure without consent), false imprisonment (telling the client they cannot leave), and assault (threatening medication).

Question 16

A fully alert and competent 89-year-old client is in end-stage liver disease. The client says, "I'm ready to die," and refuses to take food or fluids. The family urges the client to allow the nurse to insert a feeding tube. What is the nurse's moral responsibility?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: A competent adult has the legal and ethical right to refuse treatment, including nutrition and hydration. The nurse should advocate for and respect the client's autonomous decision rather than coerce or act on family wishes.

Question 17

A mentally competent client with end-stage liver disease continues drinking alcohol despite being warned of consequences. What action best illustrates the nurse's role as a client advocate?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Advocacy includes supporting the client’s autonomous, informed decisions—even if they are risky.

Question 18

What document should be guiding the care of this client?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: An advance directive specifies the client's wishes for medical treatment and should guide care decisions, unlike general laws, physician orders alone, or institutional pathways.

Question 19

A client voluntarily admits herself to the hospital due to suicidal ideation. The client has been on the unit for two days and is now demanding to be released. The MOST appropriate action is for the nurse to?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Voluntarily admitted clients retain the right to request discharge. The nurse should respect this right, discuss the decision, and prepare for discharge rather than detain the client, require a contract, or wait for a physician order.

Question 20

A mentally competent client with end-stage liver disease continues to consume alcohol after being informed of the consequences of this action. What action best illustrates the nurse's role as a client advocate?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: A competent adult has the right to make autonomous decisions, even if those decisions are harmful. Advocacy includes respecting this autonomy while continuing to provide nonjudgmental care. Asking the spouse to remove alcohol, coercing the client, or refusing care violates client rights.

Question 21

Which is a priority when developing nursing goals?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Nursing goals should be individualized and developed collaboratively with the client to reflect the client’s values, priorities, and readiness to participate in care. Client involvement supports autonomy and improves adherence and outcomes because the goals are meaningful and realistic for the person. Physician preference, nurse workload, and hospital policy may influence planning constraints, but they do not supersede the client-centered goal-setting process. Therefore, client involvement is the priority.

Question 22

According to the nursing code of ethics, when working as a nurse and a conflict comes up between your client's needs and that of the family and/or the physician wants, and/or the hospital policies, your first loyalty is to the?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Nursing ethics and professional standards establish that the nurse’s primary commitment is to the patient (client), including advocating for the client’s welfare, preferences, and safety. When conflicts arise among family wishes, provider preferences, or institutional policies, the nurse prioritizes the client’s rights and best interests while using appropriate channels (collaboration, ethics consult, chain of command) to resolve disagreements. Policies and orders are followed only insofar as they are consistent with safe, ethical, patient-centered care. Therefore, the first loyalty is to the client.

Question 23

Which of the following activities on the part of the nurse are most demonstrative individualization of the nursing care plan for a client?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Individualizing a nursing care plan means tailoring interventions to the specific client’s needs, preferences, routines, and values to support person-centered care. Including the client’s preferred times of care and preferred methods directly reflects this customization and improves adherence and satisfaction. Simply writing the plan instead of printing it (B) does not ensure it is individualized. Selecting matching diagnoses (D) is necessary but is not as demonstrative of individualized implementation details as incorporating client preferences.

Question 24

In psychiatric wards, physical restraints should be used?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Physical restraints are an emergency safety measure used only when less restrictive interventions have failed and the patient poses an imminent risk to self or others. Their use requires an appropriate provider order per policy/regulation (except in true emergencies where an order must be obtained promptly) and ongoing assessment. Restraints must never be used for staff convenience or punishment and always require careful monitoring and documentation to protect patient safety and rights.

Question 25

What is the nurse’s role during ultrasound for APH?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: During an ultrasound for antepartum hemorrhage (APH), the nurse’s primary responsibilities are supportive and safety-focused: protecting privacy, explaining the procedure, and providing reassurance to reduce anxiety. Performing the scan is outside the nurse’s scope and is done by trained sonography personnel. NPO status is not routinely required for obstetric ultrasound, and palpating the uterus during the scan is not a standard nursing role and may increase discomfort or interfere with imaging.

Question 26

A patient refuses treatment. What should the nurse do?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Competent patients have the right to refuse treatment, and the nurse must respect autonomy while ensuring the refusal is communicated to the provider and properly documented. Documentation should include the patient’s stated reason (if provided), evidence that risks/benefits and alternatives were explained, and the patient’s understanding. Forcing compliance or ignoring the refusal violates client rights and can constitute battery; security is only appropriate if there is an immediate safety threat, not for refusal alone.

Question 27

A client refuses a prescribed medication. What is the nurse’s first action?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Clients have the right to refuse treatment; the nurse should first assess the reason for refusal and provide appropriate education or address concerns (e.g., side effects, beliefs, misunderstanding). After assessment/teaching, the nurse should document the refusal and notify the provider as indicated. Asking family to persuade the client is inappropriate and can be coercive.

Question 28

A client refuse blood transfusion. Nurse first action is?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The nurse should first respect the client’s right to refuse and assess the reason for refusal to ensure the decision is informed and voluntary, and to identify misunderstandings or cultural/religious concerns. The provider should be notified, but after the nurse assesses and supports informed decision-making. Asking family to convince the client is coercive and may violate autonomy, and documenting without further assessment is insufficient.

Question 29

Informed consent is best described as?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Informed consent requires that the client understands the nature of the procedure, its risks, benefits, and alternatives, and voluntarily agrees to proceed. A signed form alone does not constitute informed consent without client understanding. The physician is responsible for explaining the procedure, while the nurse may witness the signature but does not obtain consent.

Question 30

Based on studies of nurses working in special units like the intensive care unit and coronary care unit it is important for nurses to gather as much information to be able to address their needs for nursing care. Critically ill patient frequently complain about which of the following when hospitalized?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Critically ill patients—especially in ICU/CCU—commonly report loss of privacy due to constant monitoring, frequent assessments, procedures, and limited physical barriers. Privacy is a core patient right and a frequent source of dissatisfaction in high-acuity settings. While comfort items and staffing levels affect care, the most consistently reported patient complaint in these units is lack of privacy rather than diet or blankets.

Question 31

A patient refuses to let a student nurse perform any care. What should the nurse do?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Patients have the right to refuse care from a student, and their autonomy and informed choice must be respected. The nurse should ensure the patient still receives appropriate care by assigning a licensed staff member and documenting the refusal per policy. Coercion or secretly providing care violates ethics, trust, and legal standards and can constitute battery.

Question 32

A client tells the nurse about deciding to refuse external cardiac massage. Which should be the most appropriate initial nursing action?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Document the client's request in the client's record. The initial nursing action is to ensure the client's expressed refusal is accurately recorded to support the client's right to refuse treatment and to guide immediate care decisions. Documentation establishes a clear legal and clinical record of the client’s wishes and helps prevent unwanted resuscitation efforts. After documenting, the nurse should then notify the provider and follow institutional policy for formal DNR/advance directive processes.

Question 33

A 64 year-old client scheduled for surgery with a general anesthetic refuses to remove a set of dentures prior to leaving the unit for the operating room. What would be the most appropriate intervention by the nurse?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: This response respects autonomy while still meeting perioperative safety needs, since removable dentures are typically taken out before induction to prevent aspiration or airway obstruction. Offering a reasonable alternative can reduce anxiety and increase cooperation without coercion. It also promotes therapeutic communication and preserves the client’s dignity by allowing removal at a preferred time and place. Immediate escalation to the surgeon/anesthesia is not necessary until collaborative problem-solving with the client is attempted or if safety cannot be ensured.

Question 34

The nurse cares for an older adult client with moderate cognitive impairment who is scheduled for surgery to repair a hip fracture. The client is wearing a ring that belonged to their late spouse and wishes to have it with them at all times. Which action does the nurse take?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Clients have the right to keep personal belongings when it is safe and does not interfere with care, and this request should be honored when possible. Taping jewelry helps prevent loss during perioperative transfers and positioning while still respecting the client’s preference. Notifying the surgical team supports perioperative safety planning, including awareness of jewelry that may need to be protected or removed if it poses a risk. Options involving bedside storage or informal handoff to staff increase risk of loss and liability, and secured valuables would conflict with the client’s stated wish when an acceptable safe alternative exists.

Question 35

A nurse is caring for a terminally ill patient who has a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order. During a cardiac arrest, the patient’s family insists that the nurse perform CPR. What is the most appropriate action by the nurse?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: A valid DNR order is a legally and ethically binding directive that guides care during cardiopulmonary arrest, so initiating CPR would violate the patient’s expressed wishes and right to self-determination. The nurse should communicate clearly and calmly to the family that resuscitation will not be performed and focus on comfort measures. If conflict persists, the nurse can involve the provider/charge nurse/ethics resources, but should not delay or provide resuscitation contrary to the order. Revoking a DNR requires appropriate authorization (typically the competent patient or legally designated decision-maker per policy), not an immediate response to family insistence.

Question 36

A terminally ill patient decides to discontinue chemotherapy despite the family's objections. The nurse supports the patient's decision. Which ethical principle is the nurse upholding?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: A competent patient has the right to make informed decisions about accepting or refusing treatment, even when family members disagree. Supporting the patient’s choice reflects respect for self-determination and informed refusal. The nurse’s role includes ensuring the patient understands risks/benefits and that the decision is voluntary, then advocating for that expressed preference. Beneficence and non-maleficence relate to doing good and avoiding harm, and justice relates to fairness, but they do not override a competent patient’s right to choose.

Question 37

A client refuses a prescribed medication. What is the nurse’s first action?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The client has the right to refuse treatment, so the nurse must respect the decision and avoid coercion or administering without consent. The priority is to ensure safe continuity of care by accurately documenting the refusal (including any teaching and the client’s stated reason if offered) and informing the prescribing provider so the plan can be reassessed. Administering against the client’s wishes constitutes battery and is unsafe. Discarding the medication may be appropriate per policy after the refusal is handled, but it is not the first action.

Question 38

A nurse wishes to provide client-centered care in all interactions. Which action by the nurse best demonstrates this concept?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Client-centered care prioritizes the patient’s values, preferences, and unique background to guide planning and communication. Assessing cultural influences helps tailor interventions, supports respectful shared decision-making, and reduces misunderstandings that can compromise adherence and outcomes. The other options reflect good general nursing care and communication but are not as directly focused on individualizing care to the client’s personal context.

Question 39

Scenario: A competent patient refuses a prescribed medication. What should the nurse do next?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: A competent patient has the right to refuse treatment, and the nurse must respect autonomy while ensuring informed decision-making. The appropriate nursing action is to assess/educate as needed, then record the refusal and related teaching/assessment, and promptly inform the prescribing provider so alternative plans can be considered. Insisting or coercing violates client rights, and hiding medication in food is unethical and can constitute battery. Involving family to pressure the patient is also inappropriate unless the patient requests support or lacks decision-making capacity.

Question 40

Scenario: A competent adult refuses a lifesaving blood transfusion. What should the nurse do?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: A competent adult has the legal and ethical right to refuse treatment, even if refusal may result in death. The nurse’s role is to verify decision-making capacity, ensure the patient is informed about risks/benefits and alternatives, and support autonomous choice without coercion. Family members cannot override a competent adult’s refusal, and giving blood against the patient’s wishes constitutes battery. Accurate documentation of the refusal and related teaching/notifications helps protect patient rights and ensures clear communication to the care team.

Question 41

Scenario: A nurse is caring for a patient who speaks a different language. Q. What is the most appropriate action to ensure accurate understanding?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: This ensures accurate, complete communication while protecting confidentiality and informed decision-making. Family members may unintentionally alter meanings, omit sensitive details, or introduce bias, and they may not understand medical terminology. Speaking louder/slower or providing English-only written materials does not address language barriers and can worsen misunderstanding and safety risks.

Question 42

The balance of a research’s benefit vs. its risks to the subject is?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The term used to express this balancing evaluation is the risk-benefit ratio, which guides IRB review and informed consent safeguards. This concept directly addresses comparing potential harm versus potential good, rather than describing a statistical measure. A common distractor is “analysis,” which is too nonspecific and does not name the ethical balance standard used in human-subject research.

Question 43

Despite Sarah being economically disadvantaged, you provided her quality care and gave her resources she needed just like other patients. What ethical principle is applicable in this situation?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Providing the same standard of care and access to resources to an economically disadvantaged client as to other clients reflects impartial treatment and non-discrimination. This aligns with professional obligations to allocate healthcare services based on need and standards, not on ability to pay or social standing. A common distractor is beneficence, which focuses on doing good for the individual, but it does not specifically address equitable treatment across patients.

Question 44

The family of a patient who is receiving therapeutic hypothermia states they do not understand why the patient is being kept so cold. What objective information can you provide to help address their concerns?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Therapeutic hypothermia is used to reduce cerebral metabolic demand and limit secondary brain injury (commonly after cardiac arrest), improving neurologic outcomes when applied within protocols. Offering objective, evidence-based explanations directly addresses misunderstanding and anxiety while supporting informed participation and trust. Escalating to management or deferring to the physician may be appropriate if questions exceed the nurse’s scope, but it is not the best first step when the nurse can provide accurate education.

Question 45

What is a key principle of patient teaching that must take place to ensure patient safety?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Using teach-back/return demonstration confirms comprehension, reveals misconceptions, and allows immediate correction before the patient performs self-care independently. Documentation supports continuity and legal accountability but does not prove the patient can safely carry out instructions. Family presence can be helpful for support and reinforcement, yet it is not required and cannot substitute for confirming the patient’s own understanding.

Question 46

The nurse is caring for a patient from a culture that is not common to the local area. The family demonstrates practices that seem unusual to the nurse and other staff. The most appropriate way the culturally competent nurse can interact with the patient and family is to?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: An open-minded approach supports culturally sensitive assessment, invites the family to explain practices, and helps the nurse identify safe ways to integrate those practices into the plan of care. Attempts to force belief changes or impose staff norms risk violating the patient’s autonomy and can damage trust, reducing engagement with care. If a practice conflicts with safety, the nurse should collaborate to find acceptable alternatives rather than demanding abandonment of beliefs.

Question 47

Teresa is an 84-year-old with stage 4 ovarian cancer who has been admitted for a bowel obstruction. She recently stated that she has decided that she doesn't want any further aggressive care and is requesting to be placed under hospice care. Her husband and daughter are supportive of her decision. She spoke with her oncologist about it, and he stated that he did not agree, and wrote orders on her chart for chemotherapy. What would be the best response to this situation?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The immediate nursing action is to ensure the prescribing provider is informed that the patient is refusing so the plan of care and orders can be revised to reflect the patient’s goals and consent status. Proceeding with chemotherapy orders without valid consent would violate client rights and create significant ethical and legal risk. Providing hospice information can be appropriate, but it does not address the urgent issue of an active treatment order that conflicts with the patient’s stated refusal.

Question 48

The discharge planning team is discussing plans for the dismissal of a 16-year old admitted for implications associated with asthma. The client's mother has not participated in any of the discharge planning process, but has stated that she wants to be involved. Which of the following reasons might prohibit this mother from participating in discharge planning?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: If the patient is emancipated, the parent is not automatically entitled to be involved in discharge planning unless the patient authorizes it. Being unavailable due to work is a practical barrier but not a legal prohibition, and the team should offer flexible communication methods. Not speaking English requires interpreter services rather than exclusion, because language access is a patient/family right and a safety issue.

Question 49

A patient with schizophrenia is involuntarily admitted after making threats to harm others. What action by the nurse is appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The nurse must protect patient autonomy by ensuring explanations of proposed care, risks/benefits, and alternatives are provided and consent is obtained when the patient has capacity. Patients generally cannot leave AMA during an involuntary hold, making that choice unsafe and legally inconsistent with the commitment. While some emergencies may justify treatment without consent to prevent imminent harm, the default nursing action remains preserving informed consent whenever possible.

Question 50

A Hispanic client refuses emergency room treatment until a curandero is called. The nurse understands that this person brings what to situations of illness?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Respecting this cultural health belief supports culturally congruent care while maintaining safety and appropriate medical evaluation in the emergency setting. The best single description that broadly captures the curandero’s role is holistic healing, because practices may include prayer, rituals, counseling, and natural remedies as part of an integrated framework. “Herbal preparations” can be part of curanderismo but is too narrow to describe the overall role, while “witchcraft potions” is inaccurate and culturally stigmatizing. Recognizing the client’s belief allows the nurse to communicate respectfully, assess for harmful delays, and collaborate to facilitate timely care.
