A nurse discusses the philosophy of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with the
... [Show More] client who
has a history of alcoholism. What need must self-help groups such as AA meet to be
successful?
o Belonging
Rationale
Self-help groups are successful because they support a basic human need for acceptance.
A feeling of comfort and safety and a sense of belonging may be achieved in a
nonjudgmental, supportive, sharing experience with others. AA meets dependency needs
rather than focusing on independence, trust, and growth.
The registered nurse is explaining basic rules for documentation to a licensed
practical nurse (LPN). Which statements made by the LPN indicate effective
learning? Select all that apply.
o "I will document the details when observed."
o "I will record in the chart using black ink pen."
Rationale
The LPN should document the details when they are observed, but the details should
not be written based on opinions. Black ink pen should be used to record in the chart.
The LPN should not include generalized empty phrases in the details. The LPN
should never leave empty lines in the chart because another person may enter
additional or incorrect information. The LPN should not wait until end of shift to
record important changes that occurred several hours earlier,but record the events
when they occur.
The nurse resolves a conflict with another nurse by using accommodation. In what
situations is accommodation appropriate for resolving conflict? Select all that apply.
o When facing trivial issues
o When the other person's solutions appear better
o When harmonious relationships have to be preserved
Rationale
Appropriate reasons for accommodating to resolve conflict include when the issues
are trivial or not important, when the other person's ideas or solutions are better, or
when harmonious relationships have to be preserved. Avoiding defensiveness is not
an appropriate reason to accommodate when resolving conflict. Gathering more
information is not an appropriate reason to accommodate when resolving conflicts,
unless that additional information has shown that the nurse has made a mistake. [Show Less]
