has been askingquestions about eating better. The nurse can interpret this behavior as which

i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
Moving

d. Refreezing
ANS: B The patient is in the first phase of Lewin‘s Change Theory, known as unfreezing. This
i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
phase involves determining that a change needs to occur and deciding to take action. Moving is the
i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
second phase and involves actively planning changes and taking action on them. Refreezing is the
i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
last stage, and it occurs when the change has become apart of the person‘s life.

i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
an RN. The clinicalinstructor interprets the LPNs outcome priority based on which N
i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
statement?
i`kr
a. ―My family wanted me to go back to school.‖ i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
b. ―I want to better my financial situation.‖
i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr

ANS: B i`kr
The outcome priority is the essential need that must be addressed, determined by internal and
i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
external factors, such asneeding to better a financial situation. The other statements indicate reasons

for returning to school, but they are not essential needs or issues to be addressed.

i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
likely to take?

c. Identifies that change is needed i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
d. Settles into the routine of her job i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
ANS: B i`kr
Unfreezing begins when reasons for change are identified. The moving phase involves active
i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
planning and action. Moving also means you are dealing with both positive and negative forces as
i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
they ebb and flow, and you are makingmodifications to your plan as needed. Refreezing occurs after
i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
the change has become routine.

d. Continues to work on the orthopedic floor full-time i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
ANS: B i`kr
A short-term goal is one that can be attained in a period of 6 months or less. Short-term goals

include becoming a charge nurse and passing the telemetry exam. A long-term goal is attained in
i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr

i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr i`kr
on the orthopedic floor does not represent either a short-term or a long-term goal.
