Nursing Elites

1. he can be expected to:

• A. Profit from vocational training with moderate supervision
• B. Live successfully in the community
• C. Perform simple tasks in closely supervised settings
• D. Acquire academic skills of 6th grade level

Correct answer: B

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

2. What is the term for mobilizing people to become aware of their own problems and to take action to solve them?

• A. Community Organizing
• B. Family Nursing Care Plan
• C. Nursing Intervention
• D. Nursing Process

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is Community Organizing. This involves engaging and mobilizing individuals in a community or group to take action for the mutual benefit or to solve common problems. The options 'Family Nursing Care Plan', 'Nursing Intervention', and 'Nursing Process' are incorrect as these terms refer to specific nursing practices and methods, not the broader action of mobilizing and engaging a community to solve its own problems. Moreover, the provided rationale does not match the original question and correct answer. It instead describes the proactive and preventative nature of nursing care, which is unrelated to the concept of community organizing.

3. A nurse is planning to teach a client about a low-potassium diet. Which of the following foods should the nurse instruct the client to avoid?

• A. Butter
• B. Poultry
• C. Yogurt
• D. Orange juice

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Orange juice is high in potassium and should be avoided in a low-potassium diet. Butter, poultry, and yogurt are low-potassium food choices and can be included in a low-potassium diet. Poultry is a good source of lean protein, yogurt is a good source of calcium and protein, and butter is low in potassium. Therefore, the nurse should instruct the client to avoid orange juice as it is high in potassium, which is not suitable for a low-potassium diet.

4. Why are blood glucose levels high in type 1 diabetes?

• A. The urinary excretion of glucose is impaired
• B. The lean body mass is metabolized to produce glucose via gluconeogenesis
• C. The absorption of glucose from the gastrointestinal tract is more efficient
• D. There is insufficient insulin to facilitate the transport of glucose into the cells

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system destroys the beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. This leads to an insufficient amount of insulin, which is required to facilitate the transport of glucose into the cells. Consequently, blood glucose levels remain high. The other options are incorrect. Option A is incorrect because urinary excretion of glucose does not directly contribute to blood glucose levels. Option B is incorrect because, while gluconeogenesis does produce glucose, it is not the cause of high glucose levels in type 1 diabetes. Option C is incorrect because absorption efficiency of glucose from the gastrointestinal tract does not affect the amount of insulin available to transport glucose into cells.

5. Which term is used to describe populations located in lower income, inner city, and rural areas with few supermarkets but numerous small stores stocking limited nutritious food items?

• A. Food fad
• B. Food insecurity
• C. Food desert

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A food desert refers to areas with limited access to affordable and nutritious food, often found in lower-income urban and rural areas.
