You highly suspect that your assigned client has abdominal distention. You most need to do and chart which of the following things?
- A. Have another nurse verify your suspicions.
- B. Measure the abdominal girth at the umbilicus.
- C. Measure abdominal girth at the most distended level.
- D. Ask the client if they are distended.

Rationale: Measuring girth at the most distended level and charting it confirms abdominal distention objectively, critical for tracking. Verification, umbilicus measurement, or client query are less precise. Nurses rely on this for accurate monitoring.
A theory is a set of concepts, definitions, relationships and assumptions that:
- A. Explain a phenomenon
- B. Formulate legislation
- C. Measure nursing functions
- D. Reflect the domain of nursing practice
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A theory e.g., Henderson's uses concepts (e.g., breathing), definitions (clarifying terms), relationships (how needs interact), and assumptions (e.g., patients seek independence) to explain phenomena like recovery. This informs nursing actions e.g., why positioning aids breathing. Formulating legislation is policy, not theory's role indirectly influenced. Measuring functions suits research, not theory's explanatory purpose. Reflecting the domain describes scope, not function explanation is active. Theories explain health-related events, providing nurses frameworks to understand and address client needs, making this the precise definition.

Roger has been seen agitated, shouting and running. As Nurse Aida approaches, he shouts and swear, calling Aida names. Nurse Aida told Roger 'That is an unacceptable behavior Roger, Stop and go to your room now.' The situation is most likely in what phase of NPR?
- A. Pre Orientation
- B. Orientation
- C. Working
- D. Termination
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This scenario fits the Working phase (C). Roger's agitation and Aida's response setting boundaries suggest an established relationship where interventions address behaviors. Pre-Orientation (A) is pre-contact, Orientation (B) builds trust, not confrontation, and Termination (D) ends care. In Peplau's Working phase, the nurse actively helps the client manage issues, as Aida does here, making C the likely phase.
