Nursing Elites

1. Which of the following foods or beverages would offer the most nutrients per calorie?

• A. chicken
• B. wine
• C. white bread
• D. broccoli

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Broccoli is indeed the correct answer. Broccoli is considered nutrient-dense, meaning it provides a significant amount of essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber while being relatively low in calories. On the other hand, choices A, B, and C are not as nutrient-dense as broccoli. Chicken can be nutritious but may vary in nutrient content depending on the cut and preparation method. Wine, although containing antioxidants like resveratrol, is not a significant source of essential nutrients. White bread is often low in nutrients and fiber compared to whole grain options, making it less nutrient-dense than broccoli.

2. A client is being taught by a nurse about adding more fiber to the diet. Which of the following foods has the highest fiber content?

• A. 1 cup cooked sweet potato
• B. 1 slice rye toast
• C. 1 cup raw watermelon
• D. 1 oz cashews

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 1 oz of cashews. Cashews have a higher fiber content compared to sweet potato, rye toast, and watermelon. While sweet potatoes and rye toast contain fiber, cashews have a higher concentration, making them a better choice for increasing fiber intake. Watermelon, on the other hand, is low in fiber compared to the other options provided.

3. On the study “effects of effective nurse-patient communication in decreasing anxiety of post operative patients” What is the Dependent variable?

• A. Effective Nurse-patient communication
• B. Communication
• C. Anxiety level

• B. "I will season foods with dried spices before cooking."?
• C. "I will rinse my mouth with baking soda and water frequently."?
• D. "I will eat frozen bananas as a snack."?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is, "I will rinse my mouth with baking soda and water frequently."? Stomatitis is an inflammation of the mucous lining in the mouth, and rinsing with baking soda and water can be too abrasive and further irritate the condition. Choices A, B, and D are appropriate self-care measures for a client with stomatitis and do not indicate a need for further teaching.
