A client tells the nurse that before she leaves for work, she has to make sure her daughter gets to day care and that dinner is prepared. The nurse realizes this client might be experiencing:
 
  1. Role mastery.
   2. Role conflict.
   3. Role ambiguity.
   4. Self-esteem.

Question 2

The nurse is preparing to provide an enteral feeding to a preterm infant. Which of the following should the nurse do prior to administering this feeding?
 
  1. Measure abdominal girth
   2. Weigh the baby
   3. Weigh the current diaper
   4. Measure pulse oximetry

Answer to Question 1

2. Role conflict.

Rationale:
Role conflicts arise when there are incompatibilities with expectations. The client is expected to be at work, care for the child, and make dinner. All of these expectations could lead to the client's experiencing role conflict. Role mastery occurs when a person's behaviors meet social expectations. Role ambiguity occurs when expectations are unclear and people do not know what to do or how to do it and are unable to predict the reactions of others to their actions. Self-esteem is one's own judgment of one's worth.

Answer to Question 2

1. Measure abdominal girth

Rationale:
Before each feeding, the nurse should measure the abdominal girth to determine abdominal distention, which is seen in necrotizing enterocolitis or paralytic ileus. Weighing the baby and weighing diapers are interventions to assess for fluid volume status. Measuring pulse oximetry is an intervention for assessing oxygenation.
