Nursing Elites

1. The IVP reveals that Fe has small renal calculus that can be passed out spontaneously. To increase the chance of passing the stones, you instructed her to force fluids and do which of the following?

• A. Balanced diet C. Strain all urine
• B. Ambulate more D. Bed rest
• C.
• D.

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.

2. During operation, who manages the lighting, noise, temperature and other factors in the operating room suite?

• A. Nurse Supervisor
• B. Surgeon
• C. Circulating Nurse
• D. Scrub Nurse

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In an operating room, the circulating nurse is responsible for managing environmental factors such as lighting, noise, and temperature. This role includes ensuring the comfort and safety of the patient, as well as the efficiency of the team. While the Nurse Supervisor, Surgeon, and Scrub Nurse also have crucial roles during an operation, they do not directly manage the environmental conditions of the operating room. The rationale provided does not directly address the question asked, and appears to relate more to the broader role of nursing in patient care.

3. What is considered an acceptable LDL cholesterol level for children and adolescents?

• A. Less than 70 mg/dL
• B. Less than 110 mg/dL
• C. Less than 129 mg/dL
• D. Less than 170 mg/dL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: An LDL cholesterol level of less than 110 mg/dL is considered acceptable and healthy for children and adolescents. This level helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because an LDL cholesterol level below 110 mg/dL is the recommended target for children and adolescents to maintain good heart health.

4. Which foods increase iron absorption when consumed with nonheme iron? (SATA)

• A. Kiwi
• B. Strawberries
• C. Coffee
• D. A, B

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Kiwi and strawberries are high in vitamin C, which increases iron absorption.

5. Which of the following are examples of mechanical digestion? Select all that apply.

• A. Heat
• B. Segmentation
• C. Option B and D
• D. Peristalsis

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Mechanical digestion involves physical movements that break down food in the digestive tract. Segmentation (choice B) and peristalsis (choice D), which are both movements of the muscles in the digestive tract, are examples of this type of digestion. Heat (choice A), on the other hand, is related to chemical digestion, not mechanical digestion. Therefore, choice C (Option B and D) is the correct answer as it includes both examples of mechanical digestion provided in the choices. Choices A and D are incorrect because heat (choice A) is not a mechanical digestion process, and peristalsis (choice D) is a movement that helps propel food along the digestive tract but is not directly involved in breaking down food physically.
