1. When rickets occurs, how is the alveolar bone affected compared to other bones in the body?

• A. Both statements are true.
• B. Both statements are false.
• C. The first statement is true; the second is false.
• D. The first statement is false; the second is true.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Both statements are true. When rickets occurs, the alveolar bone is affected similar to other bones in the body, with the trabeculae of the alveolar bone also weakening. In addition to damaged alveolar bone caused by vitamin D deficiency, dental changes include delayed dentition and small molars. The other choices are incorrect because both statements provided are accurate based on the effects of rickets on the alveolar bone.

2. The stages of grieving identified by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross are:

• A. Numbness, anger, resolution and reorganization
• B. Denial, anger, identification, depression and acceptance
• C. Anger, loneliness, depression and resolution
• D. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance

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.

3. Low levels of physical activity are more commonly associated with which type of cancer?

• A. Esophageal cancer
• B. Pancreatic cancer
• C. Lung cancer
• D. Colon cancer

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Low physical activity is most strongly associated with an increased risk of colon cancer. Regular exercise helps regulate bowel movements and reduce inflammation, which are factors that can contribute to the development of colon cancer. Esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and lung cancer are not as directly linked to low levels of physical activity.

4. Select all that apply. To lower LDL levels, you should:

• A. consume minimal amounts of hydrogenated and saturated fats
• B. consume more insoluble fibers than soluble fibers
• C. consume alcohol in moderate levels
• D. engage in regular physical activity

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To lower LDL levels, reducing intake of hydrogenated (trans) and saturated fats is crucial, as these types of fats can raise LDL cholesterol in the blood. Choice B is incorrect because both soluble and insoluble fibers can help lower LDL levels. Choice C is incorrect as excessive alcohol consumption can lead to increased LDL levels. Choice D, engaging in regular physical activity, can help raise HDL (good) cholesterol levels but is not directly related to lowering LDL levels.

5. It is not a legally binding document but nevertheless, Very important in caring for the patients.

• A. BON Resolution No. 220 Series of 2002
• B. Patient’s Bill of Rights
• C. Nurse’s Code of Ethics
• D. Philippine Nursing Act of 2002

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Nursing interventions should be grounded in a deep understanding of the physiological processes involved, ensuring that care provided is both effective and efficient.
