Nursing Elites

1. In the recent technological innovations, which of the following describe researches that are made to improve and make human life easier?

• A. Pure research
• B. Basic research
• C. Applied research
• D. Experimental research

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. Does taste perception decline with age, and are individuals taking three or more medications likely to have less taste sensitivity, requiring greater amounts of sodium and sugar to perceive these tastes?

• 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 indeed true. As people age, their taste perception tends to decline. This change can be further exacerbated by the use of multiple medications, which can potentially dull taste sensitivity even more. Consequently, these individuals often need to consume foods with higher levels of sodium and sugar in order to perceive these tastes. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they deny either one or both of these established facts.

3. A client with iron deficiency anemia is being taught about dietary recommendations by a nurse. Which of the following dietary recommendations should the nurse include as a food that enhances iron absorption when consumed with nonheme iron?

• A. Tomato juice
• B. Tea
• C. Milk
• D. Dried Beans

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Tomato juice is the correct answer because it contains vitamin C, which enhances the absorption of nonheme iron. Vitamin C helps convert nonheme iron into a form that is easier for the body to absorb. Tea and milk should be avoided when consuming nonheme iron as they can inhibit iron absorption. Dried beans, although a good source of iron, do not enhance iron absorption when consumed with nonheme iron.

4. 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

• C. Food desert

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

5. The rationales for using a prostaglandin gel for a client prior to the induction of labor is to:

• A. Soften and efface the cervix

Rationale: Effective nursing care involves comprehensive assessments that address all aspects of a patient's condition, ensuring that interventions are appropriately targeted and outcomes are optimized.
