Nursing Elites

1. Your alertness to both the physical and emotional needs of clients is based on which of the following philosophical frameworks?

• A. There is a basic similarity among human beings.
• B. All behavior has meaning for communicating a message or need.
• C. Human beings are systems of interdependent and interrelated parts.
• D. Each individual has the potential for growth and change in the direction of positive mental health.

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 nurse is providing teaching to a group of older adults about oil-rich foods. Which of the following foods should be included as the equivalent of 6 tsp of oil?

• A. 1 tbsp soft margarine
• B. 1?2 oz of nuts
• C. 2 tbsp peanut butter
• D. 1 oz sunflower seeds

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 2 tbsp peanut butter. 6 teaspoons of oil are equivalent to 2 tablespoons of oil. Peanut butter is a good source of oil and healthy fats. Choice A, 1 tbsp soft margarine, is incorrect because 1 tablespoon is not equivalent to 6 teaspoons. Choice B, 1?2 oz of nuts, is incorrect as nuts are not equivalent to oil-rich foods in this context. Choice D, 1 oz sunflower seeds, is incorrect because 1 ounce of sunflower seeds is not equivalent to 6 teaspoons of oil.

3. Which enzyme digests fiber in the large intestine?

• A. salivary amylase
• B. pancreatic amylase
• C. cellulase
• D. none of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'none of the above.' Human digestive enzymes like salivary amylase and pancreatic amylase cannot digest fiber. Instead, fiber is fermented by gut bacteria in the large intestine. Cellulase, which is an enzyme produced by some animals and microorganisms, can break down cellulose found in plants, but it is not a human digestive enzyme, making it an incorrect choice in this context.

• A. outreach program

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.

• C. 45-65% of the total fiber eaten should be made up of soluble fiber
• D. 45-65% of the total calories eaten should be made up of carbs

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) suggests that 45-65% of total daily calories should come from carbohydrates.
