Sample Questions

Question 1
A Registered Nurse (RN) is conducting a life review with a 78-year-old First Nations elder in a long-term care home in Ontario. How should the nurse adapt this intervention to be culturally respectful?
Encourage the resident to speak only about their accomplishments and avoid talking about historical trauma.
Incorporate storytelling, respect periods of silence, and allow the integration of traditional spiritual concepts.
Conduct the session in a highly structured, timed interview format to ensure all checklist items are completed.
Instruct the family that they must not participate in the session to ensure the resident's individual privacy.
Question 2
An older adult who recently immigrated from a collectivist East Asian culture is admitted to a sub-acute unit. The patient's adult children insist on answering all medical questions and making decisions for the patient. Which action by the nurse is most appropriate?
Inform the family that Canadian law strictly forbids family members from being involved in patient assessments.
Acknowledge the family's collectivist decision-making style while ensuring the patient consents to this involvement.
Insist on interviewing the patient alone and document the family as being obstructive to care.
Accept the family's decisions unconditionally without attempting to assess the patient's own cognitive capacity or wishes.
Question 3
An 82-year-old Orthodox Jewish resident refuses to eat the meals provided by a long-term care facility, stating they are not kosher. What is the most appropriate initial response by the nurse?
Explain that the facility's menu is approved by a dietitian and contains all necessary nutrients for their recovery.
Consult with the facility's dietitian and the resident's family to source certified kosher meals from an approved vendor.
Instruct the resident that they must adapt to the facility's meals to maintain their strength and avoid weight loss.
Request a psychiatric consultation to evaluate the resident for food-related delusions or obsessive-compulsive traits.
Question 4
A 75-year-old transgender woman is being admitted to a long-term care home. She expresses anxiety about facing discrimination from staff and other residents based on her gender identity. Which action should the nurse take first?
Reassure the resident that staff are professional and advise her to keep her transgender status private to avoid conflict.
Document her preferred name and pronouns in the care plan, and discuss her preferences for room assignment and privacy.
Assign her to a private room automatically to isolate her from the general resident population.
Tell her that gender identity is not relevant to geriatric nursing care and dismiss her concerns as unnecessary worry.
Question 5
An older adult from a traditional South Asian culture is experiencing severe chronic pain but repeatedly rates their pain as 0 out of 10 and rarely asks for analgesics. What cultural factor should the nurse consider?
The patient likely has a higher physiological tolerance for pain than other demographic groups.
The patient may view pain expression as a sign of weakness or a burden to others, or believe pain is destiny to be endured.
The patient is likely experiencing cognitive decline and has forgotten how to use the pain scale correctly.
The patient does not actually have severe pain and the nurse's clinical assessment of pain is incorrect.
