Nursing Concepts Questions with Correct Answers
Which scenario is the best example of a nurse implementing care
according to the ANA standards of practice?
Providing nutrition teaching to a client with diabetes
Analyzing a client's blood glucose levels
Taking a client's apical and radial pulse rates
Determining that a client is at risk for falls Correct Answer ✓✓
Providing nutrition teaching to a client with diabetes
Rationale: According to the ANA standards of practice, standard 5 is
implementation. This is when the registered nurse implements the
identified plan, coordinates care delivery, and employs strategies to
promote health and a safe environment. When providing nutrition
education to a client with diabetes, the nurse is implementing the
teaching plan. When the nurse is analyzing a client's blood glucose level
or taking a pulse rate, the nurse is performing the standard related to
assessment. When the nurse is determining that a client is at risk for
falls, the nurse is implementing the standard relating to diagnosis.

health promotion.
illness prevention.
health restoration.
,coping with disability Correct Answer ✓✓ health promotion.
Rationale: Healthy People 2020 establishes health promotion guidelines
for the nation as a whole. The guidelines contain Leading Health
Indicators, which are used to measure the health of the nation over a 10-
year period. Illness prevention, health restoration, and coping with
disability are components of the Healthy People 2030 guidelines, but are
not considered as the primary goal of the initiative.
The need for university-based nursing education programs was brought
to light during which important historical time?
Spanish-American War
World War I
World War II
Korean War Correct Answer ✓✓ World War II
Rationale: During the middle of the twentieth century, Esther Lucile
Brown, in her report on nursing education published at that time, wrote
that nursing education belonged in colleges and universities, not in
hospitals. During the Spanish-American War, nursing was still in its
earliest phase of development. Even with the input of Florence
Nightingale and her followers after WWI, nursing continued to struggle.
Professional nursing began during the period and crisis needs of WWII.
Nursing continues to evolve today.
, The nurse is evaluating client health. Which client should the nurse
determine to be exhibiting the most signs of health?
A client with diabetes who is in denial of the diabetes and refuses to take
insulin
A client in acute emotional distress due to spouse's death
A client with a leg amputation who performs activities of daily living
with a prosthesis
A client with depression who refuses to get out of bed Correct Answer
✓✓ A client with a leg amputation who performs activities of daily
living with a prosthesis
Rationale: As defined by the World Health Organization, one's health
includes physical, social, and mental components and is not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity. Health is often a subjective state—a
person may be medically diagnosed with an illness, but still consider
himself or herself healthy. The client with an amputation is performing
activities of daily living, thereby demonstrating healthy behaviors. A
client with diabetes who is refusing to take insulin is in denial of the
illness. A client in acute emotional distress related to the spouse's death
is experiencing a normal pattern but not demonstrating a healthy
behavior. A client with depression who will not get out of bed is also
experiencing denial as opposed to a healthy behavior and coping.
The nurse is caring for a client after a stroke rendered the client's right
side weaker than the left. The nurse coordinates the plan of care with the
physical therapist. The nurse's interventions reflect which one of
nursing's four broad goals?
