Nursing Elites

1. When is infertility said to exist?

• A. When a woman has no uterus
• B. When a woman has no children
• C. When a couple has been trying to conceive for 1 year without success
• D. When a couple has desired a child for 6 months

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year for most couples. Therefore, the correct answer is C. A, B, and D are incorrect. While having no uterus (choice A) may result in infertility, it is not the sole determining factor. Similarly, not having children (choice B) does not automatically indicate infertility. Lastly, the time frame of 6 months (choice D) is not sufficient to determine infertility; typically, a year of trying without success is required for such a diagnosis.

2. Riboflavin

• A. Vitamin B1
• B. Vitamin B2
• C. Vitamin B3
• D. Vitamin B12

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Riboflavin is also known as Vitamin B2, which is important for energy production and the metabolism of fats, drugs, and steroids.

3. A client needs to increase his protein intake and enjoys certain foods. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend as the best source of protein among these suggestions?

• A. Yams
• B. Eggs
• C. Chicken
• D. Peanuts

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Chicken is the best source of protein among the options provided. It is a lean source of protein and contains essential amino acids needed for the body. Eggs are also a good source of protein, but chicken typically contains more protein per serving compared to eggs. Peanuts are a good source of plant-based protein, but chicken provides a higher amount of protein and is usually leaner. Yams, while nutritious, are not a significant source of protein compared to chicken, eggs, or peanuts.

4. A client who 1) _____ diet requires 2) ___ amounts of vitamin C.

• A. A) Follows a vegan diet, B) More
• B. B) Smokes cigarettes, B) More
• C. A) Follows a vegan diet, C) The same
• D. B) Smokes cigarettes, C) The same

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B) Smokes cigarettes, More. Smoking increases the need for vitamin C as it can deplete the body's vitamin C levels. Vegan diets, on the other hand, require more vitamin C for optimal absorption due to the absence of heme iron, which enhances non-heme iron absorption. Choices A and C are incorrect because vegan diets require more vitamin C, while smoking increases the need for vitamin C.

• A. Discharge Summary
• B. Medicine and Treatment Record
