Nursing Elites

1. Which of the following is not true about Pure Experimental research?

• A. There is a control group
• B. There is an experimental group
• C. Selection of subjects in the control group is randomized
• D. There is a careful selection of subjects in the experimental group

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In Pure Experimental research, subjects in the experimental group are typically selected randomly to minimize bias and ensure that the results are attributable to the intervention being studied. Therefore, the statement 'There is a careful selection of subjects in the experimental group' is not true. This careful selection would introduce bias and compromise the validity of the experimental results. Choices A, B, and C are true for Pure Experimental research as it involves both a control group, an experimental group, and randomization of subject selection in the control group to ensure comparability.

2. Before and after the operation, the operating suite is managed by the:

• A. Surgeon C. Nurse Manager
• B. Nurse Supervisor D. Chief Nurse
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Understanding the underlying pathology and therapeutic techniques ensures that nursing care is not only reactive but also preventative, reducing the risk of complications.

3. Intrinsic factor from the stomach is needed for the absorption of which vitamin?

• A. vitamin B12
• B. folate
• C. niacin
• D. vitamin B6

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: vitamin B12. Intrinsic factor is a glycoprotein produced by the stomach that is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine. Vitamin B12 binds to intrinsic factor in the stomach, forming a complex that is then absorbed in the ileum. This absorption process is crucial for preventing vitamin B12 deficiency. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not require intrinsic factor for absorption. Folate is absorbed in the small intestine through a different mechanism, niacin can be absorbed in the small intestine without the need for intrinsic factor, and vitamin B6 does not rely on intrinsic factor for absorption.

4. A nurse is developing a plan of care for a client who has anorexia nervosa. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan?

• A. Encourage the client to participate in developing a system of rewards.
• B. Arrange for someone to remain with the client for 30 minutes after meals.
• C. Offer the client a selection of beverages at each meal.
• D. Inform the client that a weight gain of 2.3 kg per week is expected.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Encouraging the client to participate in developing a system of rewards is an essential part of the plan of care for a client with anorexia nervosa. This action can help motivate and engage the client in their treatment plan, promoting a sense of achievement and progress. Choice B, arranging for someone to remain with the client for 30 minutes after meals, may not address the underlying issues related to anorexia nervosa and could potentially disrupt the client's independence. Choice C, offering a selection of beverages at each meal, is not directly related to addressing the client's condition of anorexia nervosa. Choice D, informing the client about an expected weight gain, could increase anxiety and may not be appropriate without considering the client's individual progress and readiness.

5. Which list contains fatty acids that reduce cardiovascular disease risk?

• A. omega 3, trans fatty acids, saturated fatty acids
• B. EPA and DHA
• C. omega 6, omega 3, partially hydrogenated oil
• D. omega 3, EPA, saturated fatty acids

Correct answer: B

Rationale: EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), both omega-3 fatty acids, are known to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
