A nurse who works the night shift tells the nurse practitioner who is her primary caregiver I am
  exhausted most of the time. I sleep through my alarm and have to have a friend phone me to make
  sure I get up to go to work.
 
  Sometimes while I am on duty, my brain does not seem to work right. I
  am beginning to be concerned that I might make a practice error.. What question will the nurse need
  to ask before problem solving?
  a. How much sleep to you get in a 24-hour period?
  b. Do you exercise just before going to bed?
  c. What stress are you experiencing in your life?
  d. Have you ever used a hypnotic to help you sleep?

Question 2

The optimal way for a nurse to begin an interview with an elderly client is
 
  a. Hello, _______ call client by first name. I am going to be asking you a number
  of questions to get to know you better..
  b.  Hello. My name is _______. I am a nurse here. Please tell me how you would
  like to addressed by staff..
  c. I am going to be asking you a number of questions about yourself. I would like
  to call you by your first name if you do not mind..

Answer to Question 1

A
Total sleep hours need to be ascertained before giving advice to correct a sleep disorder. In this case
the client describes sleep deprivation symptoms rather than a sleep disorder. Option A is the only
option that addresses total sleep hours.

Answer to Question 2

B
This opening identifies the nurse's role and politely seeks direction for addressing the client in a way
that will make him or her comfortable. This is particularly important when a considerable age
difference exists between the nurse and the client. Option A: The nurse has assumed the client wants
to be called by a first name but has not introduced self. Option C: Again, the nurse seeks to use the
client's first name and fails to introduce self. Option D: The nurse fails to introduce self and does not
identify the client.
