    Chronic illnesses that are present at birth are more likely to be genetic than are chronic illnesses diagnosed later in life

    • ​​​​​​True

    • ​​​​​​False

    Correct Answer
    A. ​​​​​​True
    Explanation
    Chronic illnesses that are present at birth are more likely to be genetic because they are often caused by inherited genetic mutations or abnormalities. These conditions are usually present from the beginning of life and are not acquired later on. On the other hand, chronic illnesses diagnosed later in life can be caused by a variety of factors such as lifestyle choices, environmental factors, or infections. Therefore, it is more likely for chronic illnesses present at birth to have a genetic basis.

    Death from AIDS is due to

    • A direct effect of the deadliness of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

    • The destruction of the immune system, leaving people vulnerable to a variety of infections, any of which can be fatal

    • Poor medical care for those infected

    • The tendency of those who are infected to avoid medical care until a critical stge of infection has been reached

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is the destruction of the immune system, leaving people vulnerable to a variety of infections, any of which can be fatal. When a person is infected with HIV, the virus attacks and destroys the CD4 cells, which are a type of white blood cells that play a crucial role in the immune system. As the immune system weakens, the body becomes unable to fight off infections and diseases effectively. This leaves the person susceptible to opportunistic infections, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and certain types of cancer, which can ultimately result in death.

    • Ambivalence

    • Anxiety

    • Abandonment

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above

    Explanation
    According to Knafl and colleagues' theory of normalization, families with a child with a chronic illness must recognize the ongoing processes of actively adapting to the child's evolving physical, emotional, and social needs and establishing new family routines. This means that the family should acknowledge and actively respond to the changing needs of the child with the chronic illness, both physically and emotionally. They should also establish new routines that accommodate these needs. This approach helps the family to view the situation through a "normalcy lens" and promotes the well-being and inclusion of the child with the chronic illness.

    The biggest criticism with using Duvall’s Family Developmental Theory is

    • The theory does not use the life-span approach

    • The theory does not include family life before having children

    • The theory was based on traditional nuclear families and is difficult to apply to new, diverse family structures

    • The theory is based on individuals rather than families

    Correct Answer
    A. The theory was based on traditional nuclear families and is difficult to apply to new, diverse family structures
    Explanation
    The biggest criticism with using Duvall's Family Developmental Theory is that the theory was based on traditional nuclear families and is difficult to apply to new, diverse family structures. This means that the theory may not adequately account for the experiences and dynamics of non-traditional families, such as single-parent households, blended families, or same-sex couples. As a result, it may not provide a comprehensive understanding of family development and may not be applicable or relevant to the changing realities of modern families.

    Nurses assess whether families are planning space for an anticipated infant. Reasons families may not have planned space include which of the following

    • Families may be too busy with other responsibilities to allow time for planning space for the infant

    • Families may be denying that the birth is impending

    • Families may have a cultural belief that planning for space should not occur until after the birth of a healthy infant

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the above options provide valid reasons as to why families may not have planned space for an anticipated infant. Families may be too preoccupied with other responsibilities, such as work or other children, which leaves them with little time to dedicate to planning the space. Additionally, some families may be in denial about the impending birth, which can hinder their ability to make necessary preparations. Furthermore, certain cultural beliefs may dictate that planning for space should only occur after the birth of a healthy infant, which can delay the process. Therefore, all of these factors contribute to families not having planned space for the anticipated infant.

    Cultural affiliation

    • Does not affect family nursing care of the hospitalized patient because the basic needs of families do not change across cultures

    • Affects family nursing care of the hospitalized patient because family beliefs and practices concerning hospitalization vary across cultures

    • Should be assessed by nurses, with interventions adapted accordingly

    • B and c only

    Correct Answer
    A. B and c only
    Explanation
    Cultural affiliation affects family nursing care of the hospitalized patient because family beliefs and practices concerning hospitalization vary across cultures. This means that the way families perceive and approach healthcare may differ based on their cultural background. Nurses should assess the cultural affiliation of the patient's family and adapt their interventions accordingly to provide culturally sensitive care. Therefore, both option b and c are correct.

    Which of these characteristics are the LEAST typical of Alzheimer's caregivers?

    • Grief

    • Male

    • Neglect of personal appearance

    • Shame and embarrassment

    Correct Answer
    A. Male
    Explanation
    The least typical characteristic of Alzheimer's caregivers is being male. While both men and women can be caregivers for individuals with Alzheimer's, research shows that the majority of caregivers are female. This is likely due to societal expectations and gender roles, as well as the fact that women tend to have higher rates of empathy and nurturing qualities. However, it is important to note that being male does not exclude someone from being an Alzheimer's caregiver, as individuals of any gender can provide care and support for their loved ones.

    One of the difficulties that children and adolescents face in coping with diabetes is that

    • Most parents fail to accept their child's disorder

    • They do not have the cognitive sophistication to plan their regimens

    • They may resist adhering to the dietary restrictions and exercise requirements

    • Children fear the long-term complications of diabetes

    Correct Answer
    A. They may resist adhering to the dietary restrictions and exercise requirements
    Explanation
    Children and adolescents with diabetes may resist adhering to the dietary restrictions and exercise requirements because it can be challenging and restrictive. They may feel frustrated and restricted by the need to constantly monitor their food intake and engage in regular physical activity. Additionally, they may want to fit in with their peers and feel left out or different when they have to follow different dietary and exercise routines. This resistance can make it difficult for them to effectively manage their diabetes and maintain their health.

    Neuropathic pain is:

    • Usually treated with anti-inflammatory agents

    • A result of disordered nerve function

    • Due to direct stimulation of intact nociceptors

    • Rarely responsive to opioid analgesics

    Correct Answer
    A. A result of disordered nerve function
    Explanation
    Neuropathic pain is a result of disordered nerve function. This means that the pain is caused by a dysfunction or damage to the nerves themselves, rather than being a response to inflammation or direct stimulation of intact nociceptors. It is important to understand this distinction because neuropathic pain requires a different approach to treatment compared to other types of pain. While anti-inflammatory agents may be effective for some types of pain, they are not typically the first line of treatment for neuropathic pain. Additionally, neuropathic pain is often less responsive to opioid analgesics, further highlighting the need for specialized treatment approaches.

    A risk for conflict between nurses and clients during childbearing can arise from

    • Different advice from family members versus nurses

    • Agreement between grandparents and nurses

    • Agreement between fathers and mothers

    • Acute illness occurring in the pregnant mother

    Correct Answer
    A. Different advice from family members versus nurses
    Explanation
    During childbearing, nurses play a crucial role in providing guidance and support to clients. However, conflict can arise when family members offer different advice than the nurses. This can create confusion and disagreement for the client, as they may feel torn between following the advice of their loved ones or the healthcare professionals. Such conflicts can lead to tension and potential misunderstandings between nurses and clients, making it essential for nurses to effectively communicate and collaborate with family members to ensure the best possible care for the client.

    The traits of a healthy family include all of the following except

    • Shares responsibility among members

    • Adaptable to transitions and change

    • Communicates and listens effectively to all members

    • Is a member of an organized religion

    Correct Answer
    A. Is a member of an organized religion
    Explanation
    The traits of a healthy family include sharing responsibility among members, being adaptable to transitions and change, and communicating and listening effectively to all members. However, being a member of an organized religion is not necessarily a trait of a healthy family. While religion can provide support and a sense of community for some families, it is not a requirement for a family to be considered healthy. Families can have different belief systems or choose not to be affiliated with any organized religion and still have strong bonds and healthy dynamics.
