treatment options for clients with knee injuries. This program is most likely being presented by:
A. A nurse researcher
B. A clinical nurse specialist
C. A nurse practitioner
D. A nurse administrator
Answer:
B. A clinical nurse specialist
Clinical nurse specialists have advanced education and degrees in a specific aspect of practice.
They provide direct client care, direct and teach other team members providing care, and conduct
nursing research within the area of specialization. The nurse researcher identifies problems
regarding client care, designs plans of study, develops tools, analyzes findings, and disseminates
knowledge. Nurse practitioners provide client care independently in a variety of settings. Nurse
administrators have a variety of responsibilities including staffing, budgets, client care, and
consulting.
QUESTION
While in the clinic, the nurse instructs a client about immunizations. In which level of
prevention is this nurse providing care?
A. Primary
B. Secondary
C. Tertiary
D. Restorative
Answer:
A. Primary
Primary prevention implies health and a high level of wellness for the individual. Immunizations,
health diet, health teaching, and workplace safety are all primary prevention strategies. In
secondary prevention the emphasis is on resolving health problems and preventing serious
consequences. Screenings, blood tests, and dental care are all examples of secondary prevention.
Tertiary prevention is aimed at restoring the individual to the highest possible level of health and
functioning. Rehabilitation is the focus for tertiary prevention. Restorative is not a level of
prevention.
QUESTION
A client lives in a favorable environment but is in poor health. According to Dunn's model of
wellness, how would this client be classified?
A. Protected poor health
B. Poor health
C. High-level wellness
D. Emergent high-level wellness
Answer:
D. Emergent high-level wellness
Emergent high-level wellness (in unfavorable environment). Although the client lives in a
positive environment, having poor health negatively impacts this client's placement within
Dunn's model. The client would fall into the protected poor health category if they had poor
health in a favorable environment. Poor health occurs in an unfavorable environment. High-level
wellness is the term used for an individual with good health in a favorable environment.
QUESTION
A 47-year-old client comes into the clinic requesting information on smoking cessation.
According to the Health Belief Model, this client is demonstrating:
A. Disease treatment behavior
B. Risk reduction behavior
C. Cost reduction behavior
D. Economic status behavior
Answer:
B. Risk reduction behavior
Within the Health Belief Model, health promotion and risk reduction behaviors are those that
will increase client well-being. The focus of the health belief model is prevention of illness, not
disease treatment behavior. The individual must weigh the physical and psychological cost
versus the benefit. Cost reduction behavior is not an influence in this model. Economic status
behavior is not an influence in the Health Belief Model.
QUESTION
A client tells the nurse that he started an exercise program because he believes it will help with
cholesterol control. The nurse realizes this client is demonstrating which variable of the reasoned
action/planned behavior theory?
A. Subjective norms
B. Attitudes
C. Self-efficacy
D. Intention
Answer:
B. Attitudes
This client is demonstrating the variable of attitudes. Attitude refers to the value of a behavior.
The theory of reasoned action/planned behavior holds that the intention to perform a behavior is
a determinant in the performance of the behavior. Three variables affect the intention to perform
a behavior: subjective norms, attitudes, and self-efficacy. Subjective norms refer to what others
will perceive about the changed behavior. Self-efficacy refers to a person's ability to perform the
behavior. Intention is not a variable in this model.
