2. Are children who are frightened by the dark more likely to be frightened in the hospital?

Rationale 1: "Is there a correlation between a student's grade point average and performance on NCLEX-RN?" is correct because it is written in a neutral, nonpredictive form.
Rationale 2: The words "more likely" make this statement incorrect because they identify a prediction, which should be stated in the hypotheses, not in the problem statement.
Rationale 3: The words "less prepared" make this statement incorrect because they identify a prediction, which should be stated in the hypotheses, not in the problem statement.
Rationale 4: The words "more kindness" make this statement incorrect because they identify a prediction, which should be stated in the hypotheses, not in the problem statement.

A 43-year-old male client has presented to the emergency department with vomiting that he claims is of a sudden onset
The client also states that the emesis has often contained frank blood in the hours prior to admission. His vital signs are stable with temperature 98.3 °F, pulse 88, BP 140/87, and respiratory rate 18. Which of the following potential contributing factors would the health care team suspect first? A) Overuse of antacids B) Alcohol consumption C) Staphylococcal enterotoxins D) Effects of Helicobacter pylori
The unit is shifting from primary nursing to a team model in an effort to contain costs. Staff members are angry and ask for a meeting to discuss the change
After hearing their concerns re-lated to reduction in professional autonomy and care quality, you: a. Acknowledge the loss. b. Explain the reasons for change, empha-sizing the need to reduce costs. c. Repeat the information several times, giving detailed budget overviews. d. Adjourn the meeting and provide explana-tion through e-mail.
The nurse working in an obstetric clinic receives a call from a woman who is 38 weeks pregnant, reporting the sudden onset of severe continuous lower abdominal pain without bleeding. The nurse would advise the client to:
A) drink a small glass of orange juice and sit with her feet propped up. She should call back if she still has the pain the next day, or if the pain becomes regular, indicating she is in labor. B) make an appointment to see the obstetrician sometime that day. C) go directly to the labor and delivery unit of the hospital where she plans to deliver. D) lie down and rest for one hour, and call back if the pain does not subside.
A client states that he is taking an over-the-counter (OTC) appetite suppressant. Clinical teaching should include that:
a. OTC appetite suppressants are safe for daily use. b. appetite suppressants should be taken for no more than 4 to 6 months. c. an OTC amphetamine group frequently does not cause tolerance or dependence. d. appetite suppressants should be taken only with medical approval.
