Basics of Nursing Practice
• A nurse discusses the philosophy of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with the client who
has a history of alcoholism. What need must self-help groups such as AA meet to be
successful?
o Belonging
Rationale
Self-help groups are successful because they support a basic human need for acceptance.
A feeling of comfort and safety and a sense of belonging may be achieved in a
nonjudgmental, supportive, sharing experience with others. AA meets dependency needs
rather than focusing on independence, trust, and growth.
• The registered nurse is explaining basic rules for documentation to a licensed
practical nurse (LPN). Which statements made by the LPN indicate effective
learning? Select all that apply.
o "I will document the details when observed."
o "I will record in the chart using black ink pen."
Rationale
The LPN should document the details when they are observed, but the details should
not be written based on opinions. Black ink pen should be used to record in the chart.
The LPN should not include generalized empty phrases in the details. The LPN
should never leave empty lines in the chart because another person may enter
additional or incorrect information. The LPN should not wait until end of shift to
record important changes that occurred several hours earlier,but record the events
when they occur.
• The nurse resolves a conflict with another nurse by using accommodation. In what
situations is accommodation appropriate for resolving conflict? Select all that apply.
o When facing trivial issues
o When the other person's solutions appear better
o When harmonious relationships have to be preserved

Appropriate reasons for accommodating to resolve conflict include when the issues
are trivial or not important, when the other person's ideas or solutions are better, or
when harmonious relationships have to be preserved. Avoiding defensiveness is not
an appropriate reason to accommodate when resolving conflict. Gathering more
information is not an appropriate reason to accommodate when resolving conflicts,
unless that additional information has shown that the nurse has made a mistake.

• What does the nurse plan to do before administering preoperative medication to a
client?
o Verifying consent
Rationale
Consent must be acquired when the client is fully oriented and in a clear mental state.
Although important, having the client void can be implemented before surgery even if
the client has received medication. Although important, checking the vital signs can
be implemented before surgery even if the client has received medication. Although
important, removing the client's dentures can be implemented before surgery even if
the client has received medication.
• A nursing student is recalling the order of priority for giving consent to perform an
autopsy in cases where a medical examiner review is not needed. Which person
receives the highest priority for giving consent?
o The client in writing before death
Rationale
If a medical examiner's review is not necessary, the highest priority is given to the
client. The client may provide the consent in writing before death. If the client or the
surviving spouse is unable to give consent for the autopsy, a surviving child may be
requested to give consent. The surviving parent may give consent for an autopsy if the
client, the surviving spouse, and the surviving child are unable to do so. In case the
client has not provided written consent before death, the nurse may obtain consent
from the surviving spouse.
• A registered nurse delegates a task to a licensed practical nurse (LPN). The nurse
manager asks the registered nurse, "Are the equipment and resources available for
the LPN to complete the task?" Which right of delegation is the nurse manager
preserving?
o Right Circumstance
Rationale
Questions such as, "Is the environment conducive to completing the task safely?" and,
"Are the equipment and resources available to complete the task?" ensure the right
circumstance for delegation. Right task is ensured with a question such as, "Is the task
appropriate to the delegate, according to institutional policies and procedures?"
Delegation is taking the right direction if the answer to a question such as, "Do the
