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. The PACU nurse will maintain postoperative T and A client in what position?

• A. Supine with neck hyperextended and supported with pillow
• B. Prone with the head on pillow and turned to the side
• C. Semi-fowler’s with neck flexed
• D. Reverse trendelenburg with extended neck

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.

3. Which gluten-free food choice would be most appropriate for a patient with celiac disease?

• A. Scalloped potatoes
• B. Oatmeal
• C. Eggs
• D. Tortillas

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Eggs are a safe food choice for individuals with celiac disease as they are naturally gluten-free. Scalloped potatoes often contain flour in the sauce, which might contain gluten. Oatmeal can be a subject of debate due to possible cross-contamination during processing, so it might not be safe unless labeled gluten-free. Tortillas are typically made from wheat flour containing gluten, but gluten-free versions are available. However, eggs are universally gluten-free, making them the best choice for individuals with celiac disease.

4. Maria’s statement “Bow down before me! I am the holy mother of Christ! I am the blessed Virgin Mary!” is an example of:

• A. Delusion of grandeur
• B. Visual Hallucination
• C. Religious delusion
• D. Auditory Hallcucination

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.

5. What does a QRS Complex represent in an ECG reading?

• A. Atrial depolarization
• B. Ventricular repolarization
• C. Ventricular depolarization
• D. End of ventricular depolarization

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The QRS Complex in an ECG reading represents ventricular depolarization, which is the process of the heart's ventricles preparing to contract by changing the electrical charge in the cell, hence choice 'C' is the correct answer. Choice 'A' is incorrect because atrial depolarization is represented by the P wave in an ECG reading, not the QRS Complex. Choice 'B' is incorrect as ventricular repolarization is depicted by the T wave, not the QRS Complex. Finally, choice 'D' is also incorrect because the QRS Complex is not the end of ventricular depolarization, but the process itself.
