Nursing Elites

1. What is the term for a condition where one or more members of a household, including children, consistently have little or no food due to lack of money?

• A. Marginal Food Security
• B. Food Desert
• C. Very Low Food Security
• D. Food Insecurity

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Food Insecurity'. This term specifically describes a situation where household members consistently have inadequate access to food due to financial constraints. 'Marginal Food Security' (Choice A) refers to a situation where the quality or variety of food is reduced, but there is no significant decrease in food intake. A 'Food Desert' (Choice B) is an area with limited access to affordable and nutritious food. 'Very Low Food Security' (Choice C) is a term used to describe a severe level of food insecurity where eating patterns of household members are disrupted and food intake is reduced.

2. A nurse is reviewing the medication administration record for a client who is 2 days postoperative following abdominal surgery. The nurse should recognize that which of the following medications places the client at risk for wound dehiscence?

• A. Omeprazole
• B. Zolmitriptan
• C. Prednisone
• D. Verapamil

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Corrected Rationale: Prednisone is a corticosteroid that can impair wound healing and increase the risk of wound dehiscence. Omeprazole (Choice A) is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce stomach acid production and does not directly impact wound healing. Zolmitriptan (Choice B) is a medication used to treat migraines and does not affect wound healing. Verapamil (Choice D) is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and certain heart conditions, and it does not pose a significant risk for wound dehiscence.

3. Approximately 75% of reputable producers of bottled water use groundwater as their water source. Plain tap water is the most natural source of fluids.

• A. Both statements are true.
• B. Both statements are false.
• C. The first statement is true; the second is false.
• D. The first statement is false; the second is true.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Both statements are true. Approximately 75% of reputable producers of bottled water use groundwater as their water source, which is the same source as the public water supply. Plain tap water, coming from underground sources or reservoirs, is indeed a natural source of fluids. The first statement is supported by the fact that groundwater is a common source for bottled water due to its purity and taste. The second statement is true as tap water is sourced from natural reservoirs or underground aquifers in most cases, making it a natural fluid source for consumption. Other choices are incorrect because both statements are factually accurate based on common practices in the production and sourcing of bottled water and tap water.

4. Prevention of work related accidents in factories and industries are responsibilities of which field of nursing?

• A. School health nursing
• B. Private duty nursing
• C. Occupational health nursing
• D. Institutional nursing

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Patient safety and efficacy of care depend on actions rooted in established nursing protocols that consider both the immediate and long-term needs of the patient.

5. What is a disadvantage of using a food frequency questionnaire?

• A. It does not influence the food choices of the consumer
• B. It is not affected by seasonal changes in the diet
• C. It is not effective for monitoring short-term changes in food intake
• D. It does not take too long to obtain the results

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Option C is correct because a food frequency questionnaire is designed to capture a person's typical food intake over an extended period and is not suitable for monitoring short-term changes in diet. The questionnaire's purpose is to provide insights into long-term dietary patterns rather than immediate changes. Option A is incorrect as the questionnaire does not influence food choices; it merely records them. Option B is also incorrect because, while seasonal changes can impact food availability and thereby influence diet, the questionnaire itself is not affected by these changes. Lastly, option D is incorrect as the time to obtain results from a food frequency questionnaire would depend on the respondent's speed and accuracy rather than being intrinsically linked to the questionnaire.
