SURGICAL NURSES When describing patient education approaches, the nurse educator would explain that informal teaching is an approach that a. follows formalized plans b. has standardized content c. often occurs one -to-one d. addresses group needs C. Informal teaching is individualized one on one teaching which represents the majority of patient education done by nurses that occurs when an intervention is explained or a question is answered. Group needs are often the focus of f ormal patient education courses or classes. Informal teaching does not necessarily follow a specific formalized plan. It may be planned with specific content, but it is individualized responses to patient needs. Formal teaching involves the use of a curric ulum/course plan with standardized content. A patient expresses a strong interest in returning to their work, family, and hobbies after having a stroke. Which theory type would the nurse use to develop a plan of care for the best results of this patient' s motivation style? a. field b. biological c. cognitive d. sociologic C. Cognitive theorists believe that attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction (ARCS) are the conditions that, when integrated, motivate someone to learn. Field theorists place significance on how achievement, power, the need for affiliation, and avoidance motives influence individual behavior. Sociologic theories are not involved in motivation. The nurse is assessing a group of clients. Which clients are at greater risk for hy pothermia or frostbite? (select all that apply) a. an older woman with hypertension b. a young man with a body mass index of 42 c. a young many who has just consumed six martinis d. an older man who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day e. a young woman who i s anorexic f. a young woman who is diabetic C, D, E, F clients with poor nutrition, fatigue, and multiple chronic illnesses are at greater risk for hypothermia. Clients who smoke, consume alcohol, or have impaired peripheral circulation have a higher incidence of frostbite. Which statement made by a nurse represent s the need for further education regarding pain management in older adult clients? a. older adults tend to report pain less often than younger adults b. older clients usually have more experience with pain than younger clients c. older adults are at great est risk for under treated pain d. older clients have a different pain mechanism and do not feel it as much D There is no evidence to support the idea that older adult clients perceive pain any differently than younger clients. The other statements are ac curate regarding older clients and pain. The nurse is working at a first aid booth for a spring training game on a hot day. A spectator comes in, reporting that he is not feeling well. Vital signs are temp 104.1 F, pulse 132 BPM, respirs 26 breaths/min, and blood pressure 106/66 mm Hg. He trips over his feet as the nurse leads him to a cot. What is the priory action of the nurse? a. admin tylenol 650 mg orally b. encourage rest, and reassess in 15 minutes c. sponge the victim with cool water and remove h is shirt d. encourage drinking of cool water or sports drink C The spectator shows signs of heat stroke, which is a medical emergency. The spectator should be transported to the ED ASAP. The nurs should take actions to lower his body temp in teh meantime by removing his shirt and sponging his body with cool water. Lowering body temp by drinking cool fluids or taking acetaminophen is not as effective in an emergency situation.

The safest action is to discontinue the solution that contains the potassium and discontinue the IV altogether, in which case the client would need another site started.
