Explanation
A. Cognitive learning involves knowledge acquisition, understanding, and mental skills such as remembering and problem-solving. It does not involve physical skill demonstration.
B. Perceptive is not one of the commonly defined domains of learning used in nursing education.
C. Psychomotor learning involves the development of physical or manual skills. Demonstrating the correct technique for self-injection is a clear example of a psychomotor skill.
D. Affective learning focuses on emotions, attitudes, values, and feelings. It would apply more to how a patient feels about self-injecting rather than the physical act itself.
Which technique can the nurse use to facilitate assessment of the thyroid gland?
Explanation
A. Have the patient slowly turn the head from side to side is not the correct technique for assessing the thyroid gland. It is used to assess the range of motion of the neck.
B. Have the patient tip the head back and cough twice does not facilitate thyroid assessment. It is unrelated to thyroid examination.
C. Have the patient tip the head forward to the side and swallow is the correct technique. This allows the nurse to palpate the thyroid gland as the patient swallows, making it easier to assess for any enlargement or irregularities.
D. Gently palpate from underneath the jaw to behind the ear is not the correct method for assessing the thyroid. The thyroid gland is located lower in the neck and should be palpated from the front, not from under the jaw to behind the ear.
A patient has acetaminophen 650 mg ordered every 4 hours per gastric tube. The acetaminophen syrup is supplied in a 160 milligram per 5-mL concentration. How many milliliters would the nurse administer with each dose? (Round to the nearest tenth)
Explanation
\(Dose desired to give =((dose desired)/concentration) ×Volume\)
Given:Desired dose=650mg
Concentration=160mgper5mL
\(Dose to give =(650/160)×5=4.0625×5=20.3125 mL\)

Which statement about caring for patients is true?
Explanation
A. Standard solutions may apply to some health problems, but patient care often requires individualized approaches based on each patient's unique circumstances.
B. Caring for patients requires significant experience, knowledge, and clinical judgment. It involves understanding and responding to each patient's needs, which varies greatly.
C. Patients are diverse in their experiences, health conditions, and backgrounds, so they are not all the same. Each one requires personalized care.
D. Each patient has a unique background, which affects their health, lifestyle, preferences, and care needs. Recognizing and respecting these differences is essential to providing effective care.
The nurse ensures that the patient's room is cool, quiet and dark so that the patient can rest and sleep. Which caring behavior is demonstrated by the nurse?
Explanation
A. Fulfilling affiliation needs involves addressing emotional needs, such as providing companionship or social support, which is not the focus of this scenario.
B. Demonstrating an encouraging manner involves offering positive reinforcement and emotional support, but this is not the behavior being demonstrated in this situation.
C. Providing a sense of presence means being emotionally available and present with the patient, which is different from creating an environment conducive to physical healing and rest.
D. Creating a healing environment refers to modifying the physical surroundings to promote rest, recovery, and well-being. Ensuring the room is cool, quiet, and dark promotes rest, which is essential for healing.
Which type of reinforcement is used when the nurse gives a sticker to a pediatric patient every time the incentive spirometer is used?
Explanation
A. Social reinforcement involves praise, recognition, or other forms of social approval, such as verbal encouragement, which is not the case here.

C. Material reinforcement involves giving a tangible item, such as a sticker, as a reward for a desired behavior. This is the type of reinforcement used in this scenario.
D. Negative reinforcement involves removing an unpleasant stimulus to encourage a behavior, which is not relevant here, as the sticker is a positive reinforcement.
The physician gives orders to infuse unit (250 ml) of packed red blood cells over 4 hours. Calculate the flow rate in milliliters per hour.
Explanation
\(Flow rate= Total volume (mL)/Time (hours) \)
Given:
Volume = 250 mL
Time=4hours
\(Flow rate=250/4=62.5 mL/hour\)
Answer: 62.5 mL/hour
A nurse is providing preoperative education for a client who will undergo a mastectomy for cancer of the breast. Which of the following would the nurse do to facilitate learning? Select the 4 correct answers (Select All that Apply.)
Explanation
A. Organizing teaching materials and methods is essential to ensure that the information is delivered clearly and effectively, which helps facilitate the learning process.
B. Providing a private, quiet, and comfortable environment minimizes distractions and promotes better focus, which aids in learning.
C. Scheduling teaching at times when the patient is alert and receptive increases the likelihood of successful learning.
D. While the psychomotor domain could be relevant if the patient is learning specific skills (such as post-operative care), this is not a key component of preoperative education for a mastectomy.
E. Providing age-appropriate teaching material ensures that the content is relevant and understandable to the patient, making it easier for them to retain and apply the information.
The nurse is preparing to access the carotid arteries of a client. When auscultating the carotids she should:
Explanation
A. Having the client take deep breaths is not typically necessary during carotid auscultation. Deep breathing could interfere with the ability to listen to the carotid sounds clearly.
B. Having the client lean forward and turn their head may improve access to the carotid arteries, but it is not the primary recommendation for auscultation.
C. Having the client hold their breath during auscultation is important as it helps eliminate any sounds caused by respiration, allowing the nurse to hear murmurs or bruits more clearly.
D. Coughing before auscultation is unnecessary and would not aid in accurately assessing the carotid arteries.
Which nursing goal is consistent with Watson's Transpersonal Theory of Caring?
Explanation
A. Watson's Transpersonal Theory emphasizes a caring relationship rather than a hierarchical or authoritative one, so this goal does not align with the theory.
B. Developing a therapeutic relationship is central to Watson’s theory. It emphasizes the nurse-patient relationship as a means to promote healing and well-being, where both the nurse and patient are active participants.
C. Watson's theory promotes collaboration and mutual respect, rather than simply telling the patient what to do.
D. Watson’s theory advocates for inclusivity and patient-centered care, which would generally encourage involving family when appropriate, not excluding them.
