Nursing Elites

1. Generally, lifestyle-related diseases share common risk factors. Which of the following is NOT one of them?

• A. Physical activity
• B. Smoking
• C. Genetics
• D. Nutrition

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Common risk factors for lifestyle-related diseases typically include aspects of one's lifestyle that can be modified or controlled, such as physical activity, smoking habits, and nutrition. These factors can be changed to prevent or manage lifestyle-related diseases. Genetics, on the other hand, is not a modifiable risk factor, meaning it cannot be changed or controlled. Therefore, it is not considered a common risk factor for lifestyle-related diseases. Understanding the modifiable risk factors for these diseases allows for better prevention and management strategies, and helps reduce the risk of complications.

2. Who among the following can work as a practicing nurse in the Philippines without taking the Licensure examination?

• A. Internationally well known experts which services are for a fee
• B. Those that are hired by local hospitals in the country
• C. Expert nurse clinicians hired by prestigious hospitals
• D. Those involved in medical mission who’s services are for free

Correct answer: C

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.

3. What primarily determines the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for protein?

• A. Intake of fatty acids
• B. Gender
• C. Height
• D. Body weight

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for protein is primarily determined by an individual's body weight. This is because the body's protein requirement is proportionate to its size, which is generally reflected in the body weight. Therefore, choice D is correct. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect: While factors such as fatty acid intake, gender, and height can influence an individual's overall nutritional needs, they do not directly determine the DRI for protein.

4. A client with gastroesophageal reflux disease is being taught by a nurse about managing the illness. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse include in the teaching?

• A. Limit fluid intake not related to meals.
• B. Chew on mint leaves to relieve indigestion.
• C. Avoid eating within 3 hours of bedtime.
• D. Season foods with black pepper.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct recommendation for managing gastroesophageal reflux disease is to avoid eating within 3 hours of bedtime. This helps prevent acid reflux by allowing food to digest before lying down. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Limiting fluid intake not related to meals is not a standard recommendation for managing GERD. Chewing on mint leaves may worsen symptoms as mint can relax the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up. Seasoning foods with black pepper does not specifically help manage GERD.

5. The ideal time to begin taking folate to prevent neural tube defects is:

• A. Before conception
• B. Once pregnancy begins
• C. At 6 weeks
• D. Upon completion of the first trimester

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Folate is crucial before conception to prevent neural tube defects. Neural tube development occurs early in pregnancy, often before a woman knows she is pregnant.
