Nursing Elites

1. Richard is a subject of a research lead by his doctor. The nurse knows that all of the following is a correct understanding as his right as a research subject except:

• A. I can withdraw with this research even after the research has been started
• B. My confidentiality will not be compromised in this research
• C. I must choose another doctor if I withdrew from this research
• D. I can withdraw with this research before the research has been started

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.

2. Cancers that arise from epithelial tissues are known as:

• A. Leukemias
• B. Myelomas
• C. Carcinomas
• D. Sarcomas

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Carcinomas. Carcinomas are cancers that originate from epithelial tissues, which are the tissues lining the surfaces of organs and structures in the body. Leukemias (choice A) are cancers of the blood-forming cells, not epithelial tissues. Myelomas (choice B) are cancers that develop in plasma cells in the bone marrow, not epithelial tissues. Sarcomas (choice D) are cancers that arise from connective tissues like bone, cartilage, or muscle, not epithelial tissues. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are incorrect in the context of cancers originating from epithelial tissues.

3. 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.

4. When taking a blood pressure reading, where should the cuff be positioned?

• A. The cuff should be deflated fully before immediately starting a second reading for the same patient
• B. The cuff should be deflated quickly after being inflated to 180 mmHg
• C. The cuff should be large enough to wrap around the upper arm of the adult patient, positioned 1 cm above the brachial artery
• D. The cuff should be inflated to 30 mmHg above the estimated systolic BP based on palpation of the radial or brachial artery

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When measuring blood pressure, the cuff should be inflated to 30 mmHg above the estimated systolic blood pressure based on palpation of the radial or brachial artery. This ensures an accurate blood pressure measurement. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Deflating the cuff fully before starting a second reading (Choice A) does not directly relate to the position of the cuff during a reading. Deflating the cuff quickly after inflating to 180 mmHg (Choice B) is not recommended because it can potentially lead to inaccurate readings. While ensuring the cuff is large enough to wrap around the upper arm positioned 1 cm above the brachial artery is important (Choice C), this alone does not guarantee an accurate blood pressure reading. The correct inflation based on palpation is the key element for accuracy, which is why Choice D is correct.

5. A client is following Seventh-Day Adventist dietary laws. Which of the following dietary guidelines should the nurse include in the plan of care?

• A. Replace salt with pepper when seasoning food.
• B. Request that coffee is removed from meal trays.
• C. Offer pork with two meals per week.
• D. Provide a high-protein snack between meals.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Seventh-Day Adventists typically avoid stimulants like caffeine, so requesting that coffee be removed from meal trays is appropriate. Choice A is incorrect because it does not specifically relate to Seventh-Day Adventist dietary guidelines. Choice C is incorrect as pork is generally avoided in Seventh-Day Adventist dietary laws. Choice D is incorrect as it does not address the specific dietary preferences of Seventh-Day Adventist clients.
