1. 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.

2. Starting material for sex hormones:

• A. cholesterol
• B. phospholipid
• C. saturated
• D. triglyceride

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Cholesterol is a precursor for the synthesis of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone.

3. What is tocopherol?

• A. Vitamin B1
• B. Vitamin B2
• C. Vitamin B3
• D. Vitamin E

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Tocopherol is another name for Vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cell membranes from oxidative damage. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as tocopherol is specifically related to Vitamin E and not Vitamin B1, B2, or B3.

4. In some hip surgeries, an epidural catheter for Fentanyl epidural analgesia is given. What is your nursing priority care in such a case?

• A. Instruct the client to observe strict bed rest
• B. Check for epidural catheter drainage
• C. Administer analgesia through the epidural catheter as prescribed
• D. Assess respiratory rate carefully

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The nursing priority care in a case where an epidural catheter for Fentanyl epidural analgesia is given during hip surgeries is to assess the respiratory rate carefully. Respiratory depression is a potential side effect of Fentanyl, especially when administered epidurally. Monitoring the respiratory rate is crucial to detect any signs of respiratory distress promptly. Instructing the client to observe strict bed rest (Choice A) may be necessary but is not the priority over ensuring respiratory function. Checking for epidural catheter drainage (Choice B) and administering analgesia through the epidural catheter as prescribed (Choice C) are important aspects of care, but ensuring adequate ventilation takes precedence to prevent complications.

5. In order to establish and maintain successful breastfeeding, which practice should a lactating mother try to follow?

• A. Initiate breastfeeding within 24 hours of birth
• B. Breastfeed on a schedule of every 2 to 3 hours
• C. Give a pacifier to an infant between feedings
• D. Find a breastfeeding support group to troubleshoot problems

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Finding a breastfeeding support group is crucial for a lactating mother to establish and maintain successful breastfeeding. This group can offer valuable advice, tips, and encouragement, helping the mother troubleshoot any issues that may arise during breastfeeding. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because breastfeeding is a natural process that should not be overly scheduled, and giving a pacifier between feedings can interfere with establishing proper breastfeeding techniques.
