HESI - Medical Surgical Nursing test
Questions and Answers (100% Pass)
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 formal 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 curriculum/course plan with standardized content.

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 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 his 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 client needs to be cooled

quickly and is a priority for treatment
