4. In an extreme situation and when no other resident or intern is available, should a nurse receive telephone orders, the order has to be correctly written and signed by the physician within:

• A. 24 hours
• B. 36 hours
• C. 48 hours
• D. 12 hours

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In an extreme situation where no other resident or intern is available, if a nurse receives telephone orders, the order has to be correctly written and signed by the physician within 36 hours. This time frame ensures timely documentation and validation of the orders. Choice A (24 hours) is too short a period for busy physicians to fulfill the task. Choice C (48 hours) is too long and delays the incorporation of physician orders into the patient's care plan. Choice D (12 hours) may not provide enough time for the physician to review and sign the order, especially in situations where immediate attention is not required.

5. Which of the following is a good food source of iodine?

• A. Seafood
• B. Lettuce

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Seafood is a rich source of iodine, essential for maintaining healthy thyroid function and overall metabolic health. While lettuce, broccoli, and pork may contain some iodine, they do not provide as substantial an amount as seafood. Therefore, they are not considered 'good' sources of iodine in comparison.
