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. Which of the following is not true about Pure Experimental research?

• A. There is a control group
• B. There is an experimental group
• C. Selection of subjects in the control group is randomized
• D. There is a careful selection of subjects in the experimental group

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In Pure Experimental research, subjects in the experimental group are typically selected randomly to minimize bias and ensure that the results are attributable to the intervention being studied. Therefore, the statement 'There is a careful selection of subjects in the experimental group' is not true. This careful selection would introduce bias and compromise the validity of the experimental results. Choices A, B, and C are true for Pure Experimental research as it involves both a control group, an experimental group, and randomization of subject selection in the control group to ensure comparability.

3. Substance abuse is different from substance dependence in that, substance dependence:

• A. includes characteristics of adverse consequences and repeated use
• B. requires long term treatment in a hospital based program
• C. produces less severe symptoms than that of abuse
• D. includes characteristics of tolerance and withdrawal

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Understanding the underlying pathology and therapeutic techniques ensures that nursing care is not only reactive but also preventative, reducing the risk of complications.

4. The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges state that half of your calories should come from protein.

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The statement is FALSE. The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges recommend that 10-35% of daily calories come from protein, not half. The remaining calories should be derived from a combination of carbohydrates and fats to ensure a balanced diet. Choosing option A is incorrect because it misinterprets the recommended percentage for protein intake. Options C and D are left blank as they are not applicable to the question.

5. Which of the following foods provides the most protein?

• A. Beans
• B. Red peppers
• C. Asparagus
• D. Celery

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Beans.' Beans are a rich source of plant-based protein, making them the best option among the listed foods for protein content. Red peppers, asparagus, and celery are not significant sources of protein compared to beans, hence they are incorrect choices for this question.
