1. When surgery is on-going, who coordinates the activities outside, including the family?
- A. Orderly/clerk C. Circulating Nurse
- B. Nurse Supervisor D. Anesthesiologist
- C.
- D.
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.
2. A client with frequent kidney stones is receiving dietary teaching from a nurse. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
- A. Limit your intake of dairy products.
- B. Increase your consumption of protein-rich foods.
- C. Avoid eating tree nuts, such as almonds.
- D. Take a vitamin C supplement twice daily.
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is to instruct the client to limit their intake of dairy products. Dairy products are high in calcium and can contribute to kidney stone formation in susceptible individuals. Increasing protein intake may lead to higher excretion of calcium, which can exacerbate kidney stone formation. While tree nuts are high in oxalates, which can contribute to kidney stone formation, it is not the primary concern in this case. Vitamin C supplements can increase oxalate levels in the urine, potentially increasing the risk of kidney stone formation, so it should not be recommended.
3. Which lipid contains 3 fatty acids?
- A. cholesterol
- B. phospholipid
- C. saturated
- D. triglyceride
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D. triglyceride.' Triglycerides are composed of one glycerol molecule and three fatty acids, making them the primary form of stored fat in the body. Cholesterol (A) is a different type of lipid, phospholipids (B) have two fatty acids, and 'saturated' (C) refers to the structure of fatty acids, not a specific lipid containing 3 fatty acids.
4. Among people who are ill, significant weight loss may be masked by?
- A. dehydration
- B. a large tumor
- C. drug therapy
- D. fluid retention
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Fluid retention can mask weight loss in ill individuals as the retained fluid adds to body weight, making it difficult to detect true fat or muscle loss. Dehydration (Choice A) would actually lead to weight loss rather than masking it. While a large tumor (Choice B) could contribute to weight loss, it would not mask the weight loss itself. Drug therapy (Choice C) may cause side effects, including weight changes, but it is unlikely to mask significant weight loss in the same way that fluid retention does.
5. of the following serves as the strongest for its enforcement? (a) Advances made in Science and Technology have provided the climate for specialization in almost all aspects of human endeavor; and (b) As necessary consequence, there has emerged a new concept known as globalization which seeks to remove barriers in trade, industry and services imposed by the national laws of countries all over the world; and (c) Awareness of this development should impel the nursing sector to prepare our people in the services sector to meet the above challenge; and (d) Current trends of specialization in nursing practice recognized by the International Council of Nurses (ICN) of which the Philippines is a member for the benefit of the Filipino in terms of deepening and refining nursing practice and enhancing the quality of nursing care.
- A. b & c are strong justifications
- B. a & b are strong justifications
- C. a & c are strong justifications
- D. a & d are strong justifications
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Patient safety and efficacy of care depend on actions rooted in established nursing protocols that consider both the immediate and long-term needs of the patient.
