The nurse, when admitting a new client to the long-term care facility, assesses the client's family history because:

1. Heredity and genetics play a role in longevity and types of health concerns the client might face.
2. It is important to know the person to notify in case of emergency.
3. Knowing more about the client will allow more of the client's needs to be met.
4. The admission form dictates that this information be collected.

Question 2

The night before taking the NCLEX-PN, the graduate nurse should:

1. Go to the movies.
2. Study for as long as possible.
3. Go out with friends and get a good night's sleep.
4. Have a few alcoholic drinks to relax.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Heredity and genetics play an important role in determining what types of health concerns the client might face, as does to life expectancy.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Candidates should avoid movies, because the large amount of stimulation does not promote test-taking success. Alcohol should also be avoided, because you don't want to take the test feeling hung over. The best thing is to have a nice relaxing evening with friends and get plenty of sleep before taking the test, so you awaken feeling refreshed. Avoid cramming the night before the test, because it actually works against you, and is more likely to cause confusion.
