• B. The privilege of being a registered professional nurses
• C. Health, being a fundamental right of every individual

2. A client who follows the dietary laws of Orthodox Judaism is being cared for by a nurse. Which of the following meal choices should the nurse request for the client?

• A. Turkey and cheese sandwich
• B. Spaghetti with tomato sauce
• C. Pork chop and applesauce
• D. Scrambled eggs and bacon

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct meal choice for a client following the dietary laws of Orthodox Judaism is 'Spaghetti with tomato sauce.' Orthodox Judaism prohibits mixing meat and dairy and consuming pork. The other choices - 'Turkey and cheese sandwich' (mixing meat and dairy), 'Pork chop and applesauce' (contains pork), and 'Scrambled eggs and bacon' (mixing meat and dairy) - do not adhere to the kosher dietary laws.

3. A nurse is reinforcing dietary teaching with a client who has vitamin A deficiency. Which of the following food choices should the nurse recommend as the best source of vitamin A?

• A. 1 small baked sweet potato
• B. 1 cup avocado
• C. 1 cup green beans
• D. 1 large apple

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, essential for vision and immune function. Avocado (choice B) is a good source of healthy fats but not high in vitamin A. Green beans (choice C) are nutritious but not a significant source of vitamin A. Apples (choice D) are low in vitamin A compared to sweet potatoes.

4. All of the following are instructions for proper foot care to be given to a client with peripheral vascular disease caused by diabetes. Which one is not?

• A. Trim nails using a nail clipper
• B. Apply cornstarch to the foot
• C. Always check the temperature of the water before bathing
• D. Use canvas shoes

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A', which says trim nails using a nail clipper. This is incorrect because patients with peripheral vascular disease, particularly those caused by diabetes, should not trim their nails themselves due to the risk of injury, infection, and poor wound healing. The other options, 'B', 'C', and 'D', are correct advice for diabetic foot care. Applying cornstarch can help keep the feet dry and prevent fungal infections. Checking the water temperature before bathing can prevent burns, as patients with peripheral vascular disease often have decreased sensation in their feet. Wearing canvas shoes can improve foot ventilation and reduce the risk of foot ulcers and infections.

• B. Communication
• C. Decreasing Anxiety

Rationale: Nursing interventions should be grounded in a deep understanding of the physiological processes involved, ensuring that care provided is both effective and efficient.
