A nurse is teaching a patient how to meditate. Which behavior presented by the patient indicates effective learning?
Engaging for 10 minutes every day.
Breathing quickly.
Lying on the floor.
Focusing on a particular image.
The Correct Answer is A
A. Regular engagement in meditation for 10 minutes daily indicates effective learning and practice of meditation techniques, as consistency is key to developing this skill.
B. Breathing quickly is not indicative of effective meditation, as the practice typically involves slow, deep breathing to promote relaxation.
C. While lying on the floor can be a comfortable position for some, it does not specifically indicate effective learning in meditation, as it depends on the individual’s preferences.
D. Focusing on a particular image can be a part of meditation but does not solely demonstrate effective learning without the context of regular practice and the correct breathing techniques.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A. A 3-mL syringe is not appropriate for administering U-500 insulin, as the concentration may not allow for accurate dosing at such a small volume.
B. A U-100 syringe is designed for U-100 insulin and would not provide accurate measurement for U-500 insulin.
C. A needleless syringe may be useful in certain contexts, but it does not specifically provide the necessary precision for insulin dosage.
D. A tuberculin syringe is suitable for administering small doses (like 0.3 mL) and provides more accurate measurement for high-concentration insulin such as U-500.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A. The Good Samaritan Law typically protects individuals who provide care in emergency situations but may not apply if the actions taken are beyond the standard of care or are not in the nurse's training.
B. While the nurse's intention was to save the patient's life, the method employed was not a recognized standard procedure for airway management and may have caused harm.
C. Waiting for help may not have been an appropriate option if the patient's airway was compromised, but the method employed by the nurse was not advisable.
D. Cutting into the trachea and using a straw as a makeshift airway are actions that exceed the typical scope of nursing practice and could be deemed inappropriate, regardless of the outcome for the patient.
