Nursing Elites

1. What food is most likely a source of trans fats in the diet?

• A. red meat
• B. peanut oil
• C. corn chips
• D. salmon

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: corn chips. Corn chips, especially those processed and fried, are a common source of trans fats, which are associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Red meat (choice A) and salmon (choice D) do not typically contain trans fats unless they are processed or cooked in trans fat-containing oils. Peanut oil (choice B) can be a healthier option compared to trans fat-containing oils.

2. A patient following a vegetarian diet might be at risk for deficiency in which nutrient?

• A. Vitamin C
• B. Vitamin B12
• C. Vitamin A
• D. Vitamin D

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal products, so vegetarians may need supplementation.

3. Commonly known as “shabu” is:

• A. Cannabis Sativa
• B. Lysergic acid diethylamide
• C. Methylenedioxy methamphetamine
• D. Methampetamine hydrochloride

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. 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.

5. How is an ear infection that persists for less than 14 days classified?

• A. Mastoiditis
• B. Chronic Ear Infection
• C. Acute Ear Infection
• D. Otitis Media

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Acute Ear Infection is the correct answer because it typically refers to an infection that is short-lived and often severe, typically lasting less than 14 days. Chronic Ear Infection (Choice B) is incorrect as it refers to an ear infection that lasts for a long time or recurs often, typically more than three months. Mastoiditis (Choice A) is a complication of a middle ear infection and not an ear infection itself. Otitis Media (Choice D) is a general term for inflammation or infection in the middle ear, which can be either acute or chronic, so it's not specific enough to be the correct answer. Understanding the duration and severity of symptoms can help in identifying the type of ear infection, facilitating appropriate treatment and prevention of complications.
