3. The nurse is visiting a patient with cardiac disease who has been experiencing increased
episodes of shortness of breath when exercise is attempted. The nurse is concerned that the

NURSINGTB.COM
, DAWIT
Inactivity in patients with cardiopulmonary disease can lead to an unsafe drop in blood
pressure with position changes, or orthostatic hypotension. The patient already has heart
disease. Loss of short-term memory is not related to the shortness of breath. The lack of
activity is not likely to worsen the shortness of breath; improving activity level may help
things eventually.

4. The nurse recognizes conversations about safe sexual practices, including the consequences of
unprotected sex such as pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, are important to begin
in what patient population?
a. Adults
b. School-aged children
c. Adolescents
d. Older adults
ANS: C
Sexual curiosity and experimentation occur in the adolescent patient population.
Conversations about safe sexual practices, including the consequences of unprotected sex,
such as pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, are important. These conversations are
also important for adults and older adults but are handled differently in context with their
age-related needs. School-aged children may be too young depending on their age and their
environment. The nurse must use judgment on when to have the conversation.

b. CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
c. QSEN (Quality and Safety Education for Nurses)
d. NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health)

situations and reducing the risk of injury in the workplace. The CDC is the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and provides information to address exposure to infectious
diseases. QSEN, or the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses, was funded by the RWJ to
focus on preparing nurses of the future with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to advance
quality and safety on the job. NIOSH, or the National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health, is a federal agency within the CDC that was established to conduct research and
recommend interventions for the prevention of work-related injury and illness.
