Which type of social power uses the threat of punishment to lead change?

Choice A reason:

Diabetes in a genetically predisposed group is not entirely avoidable due to the genetic risk factors involved. Therefore, labeling it as 'avoidable' is not accurate. Additionally, health disparities are generally considered unacceptable, as they represent inequalities that need to be addressed.

Choice B reason:

While lifestyle changes can help manage diabetes, the genetic predisposition cannot be avoided, making this choice inaccurate. Moreover, health disparities, especially those based on genetics, are not acceptable as they often lead to unequal health outcomes.

Choice C reason:

Genetic predisposition to diabetes is an unavoidable factor; individuals cannot change their genetic makeup. Such health disparities are considered unacceptable because they can lead to inequitable health outcomes and access to care.

Choice D reason:

This choice is incorrect because, although genetic predisposition is unavoidable, the resulting health disparity is not acceptable. Efforts should be made to provide equitable care and support to those with genetic risks for diabetes.

Choice A reason: Creating a plan of care is a complex process that involves assessing patient needs, setting goals, and determining the appropriate nursing actions to meet those goals. This falls within the RN's scope of practice as it requires specialized knowledge and critical thinking.

Choice B reason: Starting a peripheral IV is a technical skill that requires training and knowledge of anatomy, aseptic technique, and the potential complications associated with IV therapy. This task is typically performed by an RN or other licensed healthcare professional.

Choice C reason: Delegating to a patient care technician does not fall ONLY under an RN's scope of practice. While RNs can delegate tasks, other healthcare team members, such as licensed practical nurses (LPNs), may also have the authority to delegate certain tasks within their scope of practice.

Choice D reason: Analyzing data collected is an integral part of the nursing process, which includes assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. RNs are trained to interpret patient data to make informed decisions about care.

Choice E reason: Giving blood, or administering blood transfusions, is a responsibility that requires understanding of blood types, transfusion reactions, and monitoring. This is within the RN's scope of practice and requires specific training and competency.
