A) enculturation into nursing and health-care education.
B) replacement for clinical experience.
C) self-paced learning module.
D) teaching and learning strategy.

Accepted Answer

Simulation is widely used as a teaching and learning strategy in nursing and healthcare education to provide realistic practice experiences without the risks associated with real-life clinical settings.

Question 7

Low-fidelity simulation is
A) connected.
B) immersive.
C) integrated.
D) static.

Accepted Answer

Low-fidelity simulation is characterized as static, meaning it does not change or adapt in response to the user's actions. It is often simpler and less detailed, making it useful for basic training and understanding of concepts without the need for complex, dynamic environments.

Question 8

Alternative light source (ALS) should be used to detect
A) semen.
B) gonorrhea.
C) human papilloma virus.
D) pelvic inflammatory disease.

Accepted Answer

Alternative light source (ALS) is used in forensic investigations to detect bodily fluids, including semen, on various surfaces. It is not used to directly detect diseases like gonorrhea, human papilloma virus, or pelvic inflammatory disease.

Question 9

Simulation for the forensic nurse should not be conducted
A) in a team.
B) without videotaping.
C) alone or with a partner.
D) in a classroom.

Accepted Answer

Simulation for forensic nursing can be effectively conducted in various settings, including in teams, alone or with a partner, and in classrooms to mimic real-life scenarios and enhance learning. However, videotaping is often crucial for debriefing and educational purposes, allowing participants to review their actions, decisions, and improve their skills.

Question 10

Debriefing as a component of simulation should be conducted
A) prior to the scenario.
B) during the scenario.
C) after the scenario is completed.
D) one week after the simulation has been completed.

Accepted Answer

Debriefing is a critical component of simulation-based learning, typically conducted immediately after the scenario is completed. It allows participants to reflect on their performance, discuss what occurred during the simulation, and identify areas for improvement and learning.

Question 11

Forensic nursing data from the electronic health record should not be used as
A) a source of evidence for prosecution.
B) press release material.
C) quality improvement evaluation information.
D) formal research datasets.

Accepted Answer

Forensic nursing data from the electronic health record should maintain patient confidentiality and privacy, making it inappropriate for use as press release material. Other options like evidence for prosecution, quality improvement, and formal research can be appropriate uses with proper legal and ethical guidelines followed.

Question 12

The Omaha System provides standardized terms for client problems, practitioner interventions, and problem-specific client outcomes. Some Omaha System problems that are particularly applicable in forensic nursing are
A) abuse, skin, communicable/infectious condition.
B) speech and language, vision, hearing.
C) respiration and circulation.
D) personal care, medication regimen.

Accepted Answer

The Omaha System's focus on standardized terms for client problems makes "abuse, skin, communicable/infectious condition" particularly applicable in forensic nursing due to the nature of forensic nursing involving the care and examination of individuals who have experienced violence, abuse, or neglect, as well as the assessment and documentation of injuries and biological evidence.

Question 13

Electronic forensic medical record data do not provide information on the
A) type and location of provider.
B) race/ethnicity of victims.
C) type of assault.
D) narrative notes of the encounter.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Electronic forensic medical record data do not...

Question 14

Informatics solutions specifically for forensic nursing do not include
A) generating data.
B) warehousing data.
C) data to attorneys and law enforcement.
D) vital statistics data.

Accepted Answer

Informatics solutions for forensic nursing include generating, warehousing, and utilizing vital statistics data but do not typically involve directly providing data to attorneys and law enforcement.

Question 15

Forensic nurses cannot use data to
A) reduce assault through law enforcement and crime prevention efforts.
B) improve services for assault victims through research.
C) identify perpetrators.
D) expand access to care for assault victims through health systems policy.

Accepted Answer

Forensic nurses can use data to reduce assault through law enforcement and crime prevention efforts, improve services for assault victims through research, and expand access to care for assault victims through health systems policy. However, identifying perpetrators is typically beyond the scope of forensic nursing and is more directly the role of law enforcement and forensic investigators. Forensic nurses primarily focus on caring for victims, collecting evidence, and providing testimony that can be used in the legal system, rather than directly identifying perpetrators.

Question 16

Students in the health professions are beginning to request educational content on forensic health issues because
A) the health-care systems are complex environments.
B) institutional, organizational guidelines require standard of care for forensic patients.
C) basic health professional education does not include adequate content.
D) All of the above.

Accepted Answer

All of the choices provided contribute to the reason why students in the health professions are seeking educational content on forensic health issues. The complexity of health-care systems, the requirement of institutional and organizational guidelines for the standard of care for forensic patients, and the inadequacy of basic health professional education in covering forensic health content all play a part.

Question 17

Competency-based education for health-care professionals is
A) the requirement in all health-care education.
B) makes it easier for students to learn forensic management.
C) advised by the Institute of Medicine reports.
D) none of the above.

Accepted Answer

Competency-based education for health-care professionals is advised by the Institute of Medicine reports, which recommend that education should be restructured around the competencies needed to meet patient needs and improve health care.

Question 18

Evidence-based forensic education
A) is easy to implement.
B) integrates professional wisdom with best research available on education.
C) leaves the criteria of competency-based education up to the faculty.
D) does not involve learner need, since forensic education is required by law.

A) criminal justice
B) health-care
C) children protective services
D) All of the above systems.

Accepted Answer

The financial cost of violence affects multiple systems, including the criminal justice system, health-care system, and children protective services, by increasing the demand for resources and services in these areas.
