Question 2 While hospitalized a client is very worried about business activities. The client spends a great deal of time on the phone and with colleagues instead of resting. Which of the following principles of need therapy applies? 3. 4. 5. 6.
His higher level need cannot be met unless the lower level physiologic need is met. His lower level physiologic needs are being deferred while higher needs are addressed. The higher need takes precedence and the lower need no longer must be met. It is necessary for someone else to meet his higher level needs so he can focus on the lower level need.

Rationales 2 • •

Incorrect. Correct. Choices are often related to learned experiences, lifestyle, and values. The client obviously values the business more than physical health. When a person feels strongly enough, a lower level need (rest) can be postponed until a higher level need (success, safety) is met. It is very likely that no one else can meet that need for him and the lower need must still be met eventually. Incorrect. Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc. Incorrect.
Question 3 A client who is 46 pounds overweight tells you, “I was just born to be fat. I don’t have the willpower.” Although weight loss occurred while attending two previous programs that “guaranteed” weight loss, the weight returned along with extra pounds after each program. According to the Health Promotion Model, the nurse is most likely to focus on which of the following behaviorspecific cognitions and affects variable for this client? 4. 5. 6. 7.
Perceived barriers to action Perceived self-efficacy Interpersonal influences Situational influences

Rationales 3 • • • •
Option 1 is a person’s perceptions about available time, inconvenience, expense, and difficulty performing the activity. Correct. Perceived self-efficacy is the confidence the person has for achieving the desired outcome. Option 3 is the person’s perceptions concerning the behaviors, beliefs, or attitudes of others. Option 4 refers to the person’s perception of the environment and how it assists or detracts from the healthy behavior. Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Question 4 A client is admitted for heart failure. The nurse assesses that the client’s BP is below normal range and the apical pulse is 110. The nurse knows that the increase in the client’s pulse illustrates which aspect of the client’s homeostatic mechanism? 3. 4. 5. 6.
Compensation Decompensation Self-regulation Equilibrium Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Rationales 4 •
• • •
Correct. The compensatory mechanism of increasing the heart rate is the body’s way of trying to balance an ineffective cardiac output since the BP has decreased. Decompensation occurs when the compensatory mechanism is ineffective. Self-regulation refers to the homeostatic mechanisms that come into play automatically in the healthy person. Equilibrium is balance through adaptation to the environment. Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
Question 5 Using Maslow’s framework, which statement characterizes the highest level of need? 3. 4. 5. 6.
“Nurse, my pain is severe . . . is it time for my shot?” “I felt welcomed when I first joined the group and I look forward to the monthly meetings.” “I’m very proud of receiving the Employee of the Month award.” “There have been home break-ins with burglary in our neighborhood. We are thinking of moving.” Copyright 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc.
