The nurse suspects that the client is in the stage of contemplation. This stage of health behavior is characterized by the client’s attitude toward a change and the client is most likely to accept that change over the next 6 months. In the preparation stage, the client believes that a change in behavior will be advantageous. The client may need assistance to bring about the change in behavior. During the maintenance stage, changes need to be implemented in the client’s lifestyle. In the precontemplation stage, the client is not willing to receive any information about changes in behavior and may become defensive and confrontational. |

Neuman systems model is an example of a grand theory that provides a comprehensive foundation for scientific nursing practice, education, and research. Theories related to growth and development are descriptive theories. Prescriptive theories address nursing interventions for a phenomenon, describe the condition under which the prescription occurs, and predict the consequences. Mishel’s theory of uncertainty is a prescriptive theory. Middle-range theories tend to focus on a specific field of nursing. Mishel’s theory of uncertainty in illness is a middle-range theory. |

Assessment involves the collection of comprehensive data pertinent to the client’s health. During the planning level of nursing care, the nurse develops a plan that prescribes strategies and alternatives to attain expected outcomes. The nurse analyzes the assessment data to determine the diagnoses during the diagnosis level of nursing practice. The nurse implements the health care plan identified for the client during the implementation level of the standards of nursing practice. This level may include administering prescribed medications or healthcare procedures. |

The Roy adaptation model views the client as an adaptive system. The need for nursing care occurs when a client cannot adapt to internal and external environmental demands. Roy’s model believes the goal of nursing is to help a person adapt to changes in physiological needs, self-concept, role function, and interdependent relations during health and illness. All individuals must adapt to the following demands: meeting basic physiological needs, developing a positive self-concept, performing social roles, and achieving a balance between dependence and independence. |

A registered nurse is teaching a nursing student about evidence-based practice. Which statements should the nurse include in the teaching? "The funding source is usually external, such as a grant." "Evidence-based practice is conducted by practicing nurses and other healthcare team members." "Institutional review board approval is not needed to implement evidence-based practice." "Evidence-based practice uses information drawn from research to determine safe and effective nursing care." "Evidence is generated to find the answers for questions that are unknown about nursing practice." |

read over: ^^ Evidence-based practice is conducted by practicing nurses and other members of the healthcare team. Institutional review board (IRB) approval is not needed to implement evidence-based practice. However, approval is required to conduct research. Evidence-based practice uses information from research, professional experts, and personal experience to determine safe and effective nursing care with a goal of improving the patient care and outcomes. The funding source is internal (from a healthcare agency) for evidence-based practice. An external funding source, such as a grant, is required for research. Evidence-based practice focuses on the implementation of evidence already known in practice. However, in case of research study, evidence is generated to find answers for questions that are not known about nursing practice. |

Telemedicine uses advanced technology to connect rural hospitals to specialists for consultation. Many big-city health care systems are branching out and merging with rural hospitals to provide better health care. Medicare is a federally administered health insurance program for people 65 years of age or older. Medicaid is a federally funded, state-operated program that provides health insurance to low-income families. Critical access hospitals are rural hospitals with no more than 25 inpatient beds. These hospitals provide emergency care to stabilize clients before they are transferred to a larger hospital. |

The stage of designing the study is when the nurse chooses the instrumentation for conducting the study. In this stage, the nurse prepares questionnaires and selects physiological measures, interviews, and treatments necessary for the study. The first stage of the research process involves identifying of the problem. At this stage the nurse may gather all relevant articles and review literature for the purpose of conducting the research. The stage of conducting the study involves the nurse obtaining approval from the appropriate authorities and enlisting research subjects. The nurse also monitors whether all investigators are following the appropriate study protocol in order to ensure accuracy of the findings. |

Narrative documentation is the use of a story-like format to document information specific to the client’s conditions and nursing care. Acuity records are not part of a client’s medical record; they are used to determine the hours of care and staff required for a given group of clients. Source records have a separate section for each discipline such as an admission sheet, nursing records, and medications. These are used for recording information from a client’s admission until discharge. This documentation is not done in a story-like format. Hand-off reports are reports that get transferred from one healthcare provider to another. The purpose of hand-off reports is to provide better continuity and individualized care for clients. |

According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the fifth level of needs include self-actualization needs. At this level, the individual wishes to reach his or her maximum potential while coping realistically with the situations of life. A client who wants to become the best swimmer in the world, become a successful engineer, or achieve maximum mobility after being bedridden is displaying self-actualization needs. Feeling the urge to urinate every 10 minutes is a physiological health problem that belongs to the first level of needs. A client who feels like a failure for not being able to complete college education may have a lack of self-worth and achievement. This situation belongs to the fourth level of needs. |

According to Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, in the preoperational stage, the child demonstrates animism. Animism is defined as the humanization of non-living things. During this stage, the child believes that inanimate objects have lifelike thoughts, wishes, and feelings. He or she brushes the doll’s hair and teeth to foster cognitive development. In the sensorimotor stage, the child learns that he or she is separate from the environment. During the formal operations stage, an individual demonstrates feelings and behaviors characterized by self-consciousness. During the concrete operations stage, the child is able to perform mental operations. |

If the client complains and often directs anger toward the nurse or others, the nurse should not argue with the client. Instead, the nurse should listen to the client’s concerns carefully. The nurse should also reassure the family or significant others of the client’s normalcy. If the client shows interest in changing his or her lifestyle to live a better life, then the nurse should continue to introduce only the reality of the situation. If the client realizes the effects of illness, the nurse should begin to share information needed for future. If the client denies any discussion about the illness, the nurse should be supportive and let the client know that the nurse is available for discussion. |

Which points about nursing care and nursing practice have been accurately stated? Nursing theories help to describe, explain, predict, and/or prescribe nursing care measures. Expertise in nursing is a result of clinical experience and substantial knowledge is not required. The scientific work used in developing theories expands the scientific knowledge of the profession. Nursing theories offer inadequate rationales for how and why nurses perform specific interventions and for predicting client behaviors and outcomes. The expertise required to interpret clinical situations and make clinical judgments is the essence of nursing care and the basis for advancing nursing practice and nursing science. |

According to Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, the sensorimotor period is the time when the child learns that he or she is separate from his or her parents or favorite toy. In addition, the child develops a schema or action pattern for dealing with the environment by hitting, looking, grasping, and kicking. The child also learns about himself or herself and the environment through motor and reflex actions. In the preoperational stage, the child believes that non-living objects have realistic thoughts, wishes, and feelings.

A nursing student notes the characteristics of middle-range theories. Which points noted by the nursing student are accurate? Middle-range theories are systematic and broad in scope and complexity. Middle-range theories provide a basis to help nurses understand how clients cope with uncertainty and the illness response. Middle-range theories do not address a specific phenomenon and do not reflect practices such as administration, clinical, or teaching. Middle-range theories include Mishel’s theory of uncertainty in illness, which focuses on a client’s experiences with cancer while living with continual uncertainty. Middle-range theories tend to focus on a specific field of nursing (such as uncertainty, incontinence, social support, quality of life, and caring) rather than reflect on a wide variety of nursing care situations. |
