Nursing Elites

1. Mr. CKK is unconscious and was brought to the E.R. Who among the following can give consent for CKK's operation?

• A. Doctor
• B. Nurse
• C. Next of Kin
• D. The Patient

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the scenario described, when a patient is unconscious and unable to provide consent, the responsibility usually falls on the physician to make decisions regarding the patient's treatment, including obtaining consent for an operation. While nurses play a crucial role in patient care, they typically do not have the authority to provide consent for a major procedure. The next of kin may be consulted for input, but the ultimate decision-making authority lies with the physician. The patient, being unconscious, is unable to provide consent in this situation.

2. What can be a potential consequence of consuming insufficient fat?

• A. constipation
• B. marasmus
• C. infertility
• D. diverticulitis

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Fat is crucial for the production of hormones, including reproductive hormones. Consuming too little fat can lead to hormonal imbalances, affecting fertility. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Constipation is more commonly associated with insufficient fiber intake, marasmus is severe malnutrition due to overall calorie deficiency, and diverticulitis is often related to low fiber intake and not specifically low fat consumption.

3. Onset frequently occurs after the age of 40.

• A. Type 1 Diabetes
• B. Type 2 Diabetes
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, Type 2 Diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes commonly presents with an onset after the age of 40, although it is now also seen in younger individuals due to lifestyle factors such as poor diet and lack of exercise. Type 1 Diabetes, on the other hand, typically develops in childhood or adolescence and is not associated with age over 40. Choices C and D are left blank as they are not relevant to the question.

• A. Foreseeable crisis

5. Does the reduction in oxidative damage that occurs with energy restriction in animals also occur in people whose diets include _____?

• A. fiber and carbohydrates
• B. fatty acids and protein
• C. probiotics
• D. antioxidants and phytochemicals

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'antioxidants and phytochemicals'. Antioxidants and phytochemicals help reduce oxidative damage in the body, contributing to healthy aging and a lower risk of chronic diseases. This is the same effect observed in animals when their energy intake is restricted. The other choices are incorrect as there is no direct evidence connecting reduced oxidative damage with diets high in fiber and carbohydrates, fatty acids and protein, or probiotics.
