Ricci Chapter 1 - Test Bank Exam Questions
With 100% Verified Answers


1. When integrating the principles of family-centered care into the birthing process,

the nurse would base care upon which belief?

A. Birth is viewed as a medical event.

B. Families are unable to make informed choices due to stress.

C. Birth results in changes in relationships.


D. Families require little information to make appropriate decisions for care. - answer✔Answer:

C

Rationale: Family-centered care is based on the following principles: Birth affects

the entire family, and relationships will change; birth is viewed as a normal, healthy

event in the life of the family; and families are capable of making decisions about

their own care if given adequate information and professional support.

2. The nurse is working with a group of community health members to develop a

plan to address the special health needs of women. The group would design

educational programs to address which priority condition?

A. Smoking

B. Heart disease

C. Diabetes


D. Cancer - answer✔Answer: B


Rationale: The group needs to address cardiovascular disease, the number one

cause of death in women regardless of racial or ethnic group. Smoking is related to

heart disease and the development of cancer. However, heart disease and cancer

can occur in any woman regardless of her smoking history. Cancer is the second

leading cause of death, with women having a one in three lifetime risk of

developing cancer. Diabetes is another important health condition that can affect

women. However, it is not the major health problem that heart disease is.

3. A nurse is conducting an orientation program for a group of newly hired nurses.

As part of the program, the nurse is reviewing the issue of informed consent. The

nurse determines that the teaching was effective when the group identifies which

situation as a violation of informed consent?

A. Performing a procedure on a 15-year-old without parental consent

B. Serving as a witness to the signature process on an operative permit

C. Asking whether the client understands what she is signing following receiving

education

D. Getting verbal consent over the phone for an emergency procedure from the


spouse of a unconscious woman - answer✔Answer: A


Rationale: In most states, only clients over the age of 18 can legally provide

consent for health care. Serving as a witness to the signature process, asking

whether the client understands what she is signing, and getting verbal consent over

the phone for emergency procedures are all key to informed consent and are not

violations.

4. A pregnant woman is to undergo an invasive procedure to evaluate the status of

her fetus. To ensure informed consent, which action would be the priority

responsibility of the nurse providing care to this woman?

A. Asking relevant questions to determine the client's understanding

B. Providing a detailed description of the risks and benefits of the procedure

C. Explaining the exact steps that will occur during the procedure


D. Offering suggestions for alternative options for treatment - answer✔Answer: A


Rationale: The nurse's responsibilities related to informed consent include: Ensuring

the consent form is completed with signatures from the client; serving as a witness

to the signature process; and determining whether the client understands what she

is signing by asking her pertinent questions. The physician, advanced practice

nurse, or midwife is responsible for informing the client about the procedure and

obtaining consent by providing a detailed description of the procedure or treatment,

its potential risks and benefits, and alternative methods available.

5. A 9-month-old with glaucoma requires surgery. The infant's parents are

divorced. To obtain informed consent, which action would be most appropriate?

A. Contacting the father for informed consent

B. Obtaining informed consent from the mother

C. Seeking a court ruling on the course of care


D. Determining sole or joint custody by the parents - answer✔Answer: D


Rationale: The most appropriate action would be to determine legal custody by

court decree. If the parents have joint custody, then either parent may give

consent, but it is always best to have consent given by both parents. The parent

with only physical custody may give consent for emergency care. The last resort is

getting a court ruling; usually this is not necessary unless the parents disagree
