colonoscopy
B) A woman who has previously borne two children and is entering the second stage of
labor
C) A man who is receiving treatment for sepsis after his blood cultures came back

D) A client with a history of depression who is currently expressing suicidal ideation -
CORRECT ANSWERS-A

actively septic or suicidal require close monitoring and frequent interventions, which can
only be safely provided on an inpatient basis.
After many years of advanced practice nursing, a nurse has recently enrolled in a nurse
practitioner program. This nurse has been attracted to the program by the potential to
provide primary care for clients after graduation, an opportunity that is most likely to
exist in which of the following settings?
A) A rural health center
B) A long-term care facility
C) A university hospital
D) A community hospital - CORRECT ANSWERS-A
Many rural health centers employ few health care providers, and primary care is often
provided by a nurse practitioner (NP). A nurse practitioner may provide care in a long-
term care facility or hospital, but in these settings, the NP is less likely to be the provider
of primary care to clients.
Which of the following phrases best describes hospitals today?
A) Focus on chronic illnesses
B) Focus on acute care needs
C) Primary care centers
D) Voluntary agencies - CORRECT ANSWERS-B
Hospitals have become acute care providers for people who are too ill to care for
themselves at home, who are severely injured, who require surgery or complicated
treatment, or who are having babies. Hospitals rarely focus on chronic illnesses, and
they are not primary care centers. Hospitals are not classified as voluntary agencies.
A man is scheduled for hospital outpatient surgery. He tells the nurse, "I don't know
what that word,outpatient, means." How would the nurse respond?
,A) "It means you will have surgery in the hospital and stay for 2 days."
B) "It means the surgeon will come to your home to do the surgery."
C) "Why would you ask such a question? Don't worry about it."
D) "You will have surgery and go home that same day." - CORRECT ANSWERS-D
In addition to providing acute care, hospitals have many services for outpatients (those
who require health care but do not need to stay in the facility). Clients who have
outpatient surgery have the procedure, return to their hospital room for recovery, and
then are discharged home on the same day.

medications), determines the priority of care needs, and provides client teaching on all
aspects of care. Which of the following terms best describes this type of health care
setting?
A) Hospital
B) Physician's office
C) Ambulatory center
D) Long-term care - CORRECT ANSWERS-C
Nurses in ambulatory care centers (walk-in clinics) provide technical services (e.g.,
administering medications), determine the priority of care needs, and provide teaching
about all aspects of care. Nurses employed in hospitals have many roles, including
manager of other members of the health care team providing client care, administrator,
nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, patient educator, in-service educator, and
researcher. In physician's offices, advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), nurse
practitioners, midwives, or clinical nurse specialists work independently or
collaboratively with physicians to make assessments and care for clients who require
health maintenance or health promotion activities. Long-term care provides medical and
nonmedical care for people with chronic illnesses or disabilities.

following is one of those responsibilities?
A) Provide all care and services
B) Maintain a clean home environment
C) Advise clients on financial matters
D) Collaborate with other care providers - CORRECT ANSWERS-D
Nurses who provide care in the home make assessments, provide physical care,
administer medications, teach, and support family members. They also collaborate with
other health care providers in providing care and services. Home care nurses do not
provide all care and services, maintain a clean home environment, or advise clients on
financial matters.

A) They provide care only to older adults.
B) They provide care for homeless adults.
C) They provide care to people of any age.
D) They provide care only for people with dementia. - CORRECT ANSWERS-C
Long-term care facilities provide health care, and help with the activities of daily living,
for people of any age who are physically or mentally unable to care for themselves
independently. They do not provide care only to older adults or those with dementia,
although they do care for those populations as well as others. They do not provide care
to homeless persons.

be most likely to teach the classes?
A) A community health nurse
B) An outside consultant
C) A teacher
D) The school nurse - CORRECT ANSWERS-D
School nurses provide many different services, including maintaining immunization
records, providing emergency care, administering prescribed medications, conducting
routine screenings, conducting health assessments, and teaching for health promotion
(e.g., the dangers of smoking). Although any of the other choices may provide teaching,
it is the nurse who primarily provides health-related teaching.
An elderly woman has total care of her husband, who suffers from debilitative
rheumatoid arthritis. The couple voices concern over the pain and stress associated
with the condition. What type of care might the nurse suggest to help the couple?
A) Primary care
B) Respite care
C) Bereavement care
D) Palliative care - CORRECT ANSWERS-D
The goal of palliative care is relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious
illness, and to improve the quality of life for both the client and the family. The main
purpose of respite care is to give the primary caregiver some time away from the
responsibilities of day-to-day care. Primary care is found in acute care settings and
physicians' offices. Bereavement care is provided to families following the death of a
family member.
