1. Which practice is a type of traditional Chinese medicine?

A. magnet therapy
B. acupuncture
C. faith healing
D. biofeedback

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Acupuncture is a key practice in traditional Chinese medicine. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to balance energy flow and promote healing. Magnet therapy, faith healing, and biofeedback are not specifically associated with traditional Chinese medicine practices.

2. Which of the following statements are correct?

A. Lipids are transported in the blood as lipoproteins, which are clusters of lipids associated with proteins.
B. In type II diabetes, the pancreas produces insulin, but cells are resistant to this signal.
C. The glycemic index classifies foods based on their potential to raise blood glucose levels.
D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Option A is correct because lipoproteins indeed transport lipids in the blood. They are complexes of lipids and proteins that transport water-insoluble lipids through the blood. Option B is correct as it accurately describes the condition of type II diabetes where the pancreas can produce insulin, but the cells are resistant to its signal, causing an ineffective regulation of blood sugar. Option C is also correct because the glycemic index is indeed a classification system for foods based on their potential to raise blood glucose levels. High glycemic index foods raise blood glucose levels faster than low glycemic index foods. Hence, all the statements are correct, making option D the correct answer.

3. You are on morning duty in the medical ward. You have 10 patients assigned to you. During your endorsement rounds, you found out that one of your patients was not in bed. The patient next to him informed you that he went home without notifying the nurses. Which among the following will you do first?

A. Make an incident report
B. Call security to report the incident
C. Wait for 2 hours before reporting
D. Report the incident to your supervisor

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.

4. The purpose of chest percussion and vibration is to loosen secretions in the lungs. The difference between the procedures is:

A. Percussion uses only one hand, while vibration uses both hands
B. Percussion delivers cushioned blows to the chest with cupped palms, while vibration gently shakes secretions loose
C. In both percussion and vibration, the hands are not on top of each other, and hand action is not in tune with the client's breath
D. Percussion slaps the chest to loosen secretions, while vibration shakes the secretions along with the inhalation

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Chest percussion involves the use of rhythmic tapping to dislodge mucus from the lungs, facilitating its movement toward the larger airways where it can be expelled. This technique is particularly important in conditions where mucus retention is a significant risk factor for infection. The key difference between chest percussion and vibration is that percussion involves slapping the chest to loosen secretions, while vibration involves shaking the secretions along with the inhalation, aiding in moving the loosened secretions upwards for easier removal. Choices A, B, and C do not accurately describe the main difference between chest percussion and vibration, making them incorrect.
