1. What are the final stages of the conflict process?

• A. Antecedent conditions
• B. Perceived and felt conflict
• C. Suppression and resolution
• D. Conflict behavior

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The final stages of the conflict process involve suppression and resolution. After conflicts have been perceived and felt, individuals and parties typically move towards suppressing the conflict (trying to avoid it) and ultimately resolving it. Antecedent conditions refer to factors that exist before conflict arises and do not represent the final stages. Conflict behavior relates to the actions taken during a conflict rather than its final stages.

2. A nurse is preparing to apply a dressing for a client who has a stage 2 pressure injury. Which of the following types of dressing should the nurse use?

• A. Hydrocolloid
• B. Transparent
• C. Gauze
• D. Alginate

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hydrocolloid. For a stage 2 pressure injury, a hydrocolloid dressing is recommended. Hydrocolloid dressings provide a moist environment that promotes healing and is effective for wounds with moderate exudate. Choice B (Transparent) is not typically used for stage 2 pressure injuries as it is more suitable for superficial wounds. Choice C (Gauze) is not ideal for stage 2 pressure injuries as it can adhere to the wound bed and cause trauma upon removal. Choice D (Alginate) is more appropriate for wounds with heavy exudate, not typically seen in stage 2 pressure injuries.

3. What is the primary focus of the Triple Aim in healthcare?

• A. Improving patient experience
• B. Reducing healthcare costs
• C. Improving population health
• D. Ensuring regulatory compliance

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The primary focus of the Triple Aim in healthcare is indeed improving patient experience. While reducing healthcare costs and improving population health are important components of the Triple Aim framework, the primary goal is to enhance the overall experience of patients. Ensuring regulatory compliance, although important in healthcare, is not one of the primary focuses of the Triple Aim.

4. There are several pitfalls that should be avoided when using social media of any type. For example, a nurse or student could be found guilty of libel in which of the following scenarios?

• A. Snapping a selfie with a patient
• B. Posting a positive review of the hospital where the student completed clinicals
• C. Creating a closed online forum where students can discuss clinical experiences without providing client information
• D. Complaining about her nurse preceptor on social media, discussing the preceptor�s unprofessional characteristics.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Complaining about her nurse preceptor on social media, discussing the preceptor�s unprofessional characteristics, could be considered libel.

5. In which order will the nurse take these steps to prepare NPH 20 units and regular insulin 2 units using the same syringe? (Put a comma and a space between each answer choice [A, B, C, D, E]).

• A. Rotate NPH vial, Inject 20 units of air into NPH vial, Withdraw regular insulin, Inject 2 units of air into regular insulin vial, Withdraw 20 units of NPH.
• B. Rotate NPH vial, Inject 20 units of air into NPH vial, Withdraw regular insulin, Inject 2 units of air into regular insulin vial, Withdraw 20 units of NPH.
• C. Rotate NPH vial, Inject 20 units of air into NPH vial, Inject 2 units of air into regular insulin vial, Withdraw regular insulin, Withdraw 20 units of NPH.
• D. Rotate NPH vial, Inject 20 units of air into NPH vial, Withdraw 20 units of NPH, Inject 2 units of air into regular insulin vial, Withdraw regular insulin.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct order to prepare NPH 20 units and regular insulin 2 units using the same syringe is to start by rotating the NPH vial, then injecting 20 units of air into the NPH vial. Next, inject 2 units of air into the regular insulin vial, followed by withdrawing the regular insulin. Finally, withdraw 20 units of NPH. This sequence ensures proper mixing and preparation of the insulin doses. Choices A, B, and D have incorrect sequences that may lead to incorrect dosages or inadequate mixing of the insulins.
