  The charge nurse expects that which nurse will be most likely to agree to stay? 1. The millennial nurse
   2. The generation X nurse
   3. The baby boomer nurse
   4. The veteran nurse

Question 2

The nurse is planning care for a child diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Which of the following is an appropriate nursing diagnosis for this child?
 
  1. Deficient Diversional Activity
   2. Anxiety
   3. Activity Intolerance
   4. Caregiver Role Strain

Answer to Question 1

3. The baby boomer nurse

Rationale:
The baby boomer nurse who embraces professionalism and is the workaholic on the unit is the one most likely to agree to work extra. The millennial nurse is achievement motivated and lives in a highly structured environment so is not as likely to make changes at the last minute. The generation X nurse desires more professional control and prizes personal life so is not likely to make a last minute change in a work schedule. The veteran nurse who respects authority may not be physically capable of working extra but would likely be the second nurse to volunteer.

Answer to Question 2

1. Deficient Diversional Activity

Rationale:
The child with cerebral palsy will demonstrate poor social skills. To maximize development, the child needs a variety of activities and contact with others. The parent will experience anxiety and caregiver role strain, not the child. The child with CP is more likely to have immobility as a diagnosis not activity intolerance.
